Confused Word Bearer Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I wish that the box had MkII marines instead of MkIII marines. Because who wouldn't like to have their favorite armor mark in plastic? I don't really care for the Sisters of Silence, but the Custodes are really cool! The Space Wolf character looks pretty nice, but I'm kind of diasppointed they actually used the real Ahriman instead of someone else. I'm further still disappointed they didn't make the characters into generics like the Betrayal at Calth was, unless their sprue has a generic swap on it? The tartaros is cool, and I think that the sergeant might actually be holding a volkite charger, which is awesome! I think I'll maybe buy it even if I can't think of a way to use the SoS, and until we have rules for how the Custodes ally chart will I don't know who will be able to take them as an allied detachment, the Tartaros is pretty neat, but I just don't like how it looks. It's like MkIV armor decided to skip out on it's diet and the poor machine spirit thought that was a good idea for extra protection! The characters are cool, and I'm going to hope that they have a generic swap sprue, the MkIII is awesome, as it's my second favorite armor mark, but I have the the most expensive idea to make an all-MkII army. After having totaled up how much that actually would be, however, I'll likely just buy a couple of these boxes and 10 more MkIII marines for a total of 40. Or maybe use them to start up another MkIII heavy army like Death Guard while I wait for plastic MkII. I think that this box will be great for anyone who wants to collect MkIII marines, as well as Tartaros terminator armor, and the Custodes or the SoS! I hope everyone who gets the box will be happy with it, as it's contents look great! But if someone could point out some rumours for plastic MkII, that would be greatly appreciated!

Sandlemad Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 And FW would be extra silly if they don't release a "Breacher upgrade" set for those plastic MkIII vets. Just need resin shields and heads, and they're already basically doing that with that Ultramarines power sword/breacher shield set that's coming out soon! That's all that's keeping me from ordering a set of shapeways 3d-printed boarding shield to load onto ten of these mkIII marines. Hopefully they'll include some of those sallet-style helms, our own frater have shown how proper grimly norse they look when applied right.

Reldn Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 30 plastic Mk. III and at least one plastic Volkite.... Well, same plan as last time: One box for the game itself, next box/es go to my Word Bearers! ...Okay, and some for my Ultramarines as well.

Jimm Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Not bad but would have loved to see assalt marine or breachers rather than more Tacs. Good to see the ic got a little more work done on them this time round as the bac ones are really plane and generic.

Greyedout Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 As someone up above mentioned, if this makes Mk3 armor available in plastic it wouldn't surprise me if Forge World already has plans in place to release "Breacher upgrade sets" as well as assault upgrade sets. Practically an excuse to print money. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/326821-contents-of-new-hh-box-set/page/2/#findComment-4531152 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Asvaldir Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Yeah I have to say I'm really not that excited for this new release. New marks and variants of armor is nice, but it would have been a whole lot nicer to get a bigger variety of plastic infantry choices. Assault marines in particular was what I was hoping for. Plus while the characters are really great sculpts, there are pretty clearly made just for SW and Tsons, would have been nice if they were more adoptable for any legion like the BaC characters.

Canadian_F_H Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Don't get me wrong, very glad about mk3. It's the only old mark that I really want any of. I'll take 90 gladly. 30 black templars, 30 imperial fists and 30 iron warriors will do...

God-Potato of Mankind Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Are the sisters planned as an army or will their squads be like Agents of the Emperor? I would love some psychic protection after facing a bunch of Libbynaughts.

If I recall correctly, people who attended the open day said Custodes would be a full army but Sisters would be Agents of the Emperor.

Emperor's Furor Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I have two squads of 20 marines already, do you think it's best to add a second squad of 20 and one unit of veterans with meltas?

SkimaskMohawk Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Anyone else feel like the custodes are built off the same CAD designs as Sigmarines?

1000 Sons Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 We know that the Custodes fought for Horus (unbeknownst) on Prospero, I wonder if there will be a rule for traitors to be able to use them ? My to paint list is getting bigger. Edit: Just watched the video...that is some good stuff. My hate of the wolves and the emperor are at an all time high !!

DimDim Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I dont know about you guys, but after seeing the video on warhammertv pop up in my subs unexpectedly I did a massive happy dance! And I was just about to make a big forgeworld order for my wolves to compliment this set, looks like ill have about a companies worth of astartes now!

I rather doubt it, as you said they didn't know Horus had gone traitor yet, so they thought they were still fighting for the same side. Considering the custodes are the emperor's personal guard I don't see how they would have traitor rules.

You mean like the ones on Sisters of Battle PA or on the Skitarii vanguard minis? Oops, no, got my helmets mixed up. I was thinking of the helmets on the breachers, with the pronounced rim around the crown, whatever they're called. SoB and vanguard are indeed closer to sallet helms.

Corswain Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 There'd be nothing stopping you use them for Great Crusade armies or using a loyalist force from one of the Traitor Legions. I'm using the box for Iron Warriors but if I get a hankering to use Custodes or Sisters, they will suddenly become loyalist Iron Warriors.
