Dragonlover Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 While it's true that we should always temper our expectations with the full knowledge that GW has often done the exact opposite of what we the fans consider logical, I feel there's enough in the air to back up this general sense of hope. Also, a lot of the people posting in this thread are hoary old Vets of the Long War, and no doubt remember how bad it gets down here when the negativity takes root. Anyone got a link to this announcement of a follow-up box after BSF? I missed that at the time.

Marshal Loss Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 This aesthetic has been in place since DV and is nothing new. I don't get why a push-fit, mono-pose set like this, similar to DV's Chosen, leads you to think we'll get new CSMs. Because - and you'd know this if you actually read through all of the excitement that you're being unduly critical of - GW literally told people that a new multipart kit is following these pushfits sometime in 2019. Nobody knows if Terminators et al are following, but a multipart Vanilla CSM box is happening, and that's a huge step in the right direction. Source? Read what he wrote - he just says box. That could just be the Renegade Guardsmen released separately - he doesn't mention multi-part. I have not seen anything related to multi-part CSMs. Before telling somebody else to read something, it's probably best to read it yourself Additionally, there were multiple sources. Spikeybits mentioned that a box of CSM was following (for all their usual unreliability, they were in the seminar; the owner of Spikeybits later commented on one of his own articles saying that the box was coming next year), and a fine chap named Damien who went to Nova (and was present at the seminar) and is a member of a CSM fangroup on Facebook with me also confirmed that they said a multipart kit explicitly. He posts on Dakka and may have said the same thing there, although I don't know under what name. I recall another source on a smaller forum I read occasionally but I can't find it on short notice. Either way, there are multiple sources that were present at the seminar claiming that 1) a Chaos Space Marine box will follow (CSM, not plain Chaos, as you seem to believe) and 2) the kit will be multipart. Is it ironclad? Of course not. But as far as rumours go, multiple sources citing GW staff in an official GW seminar is as close to a confirmation as you can get. In any case, I'm glad you can now agree that the excitement in this thread is entirely justified.

Marshal Loss Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 Alright, now I'm more excited at least It also says multi-part, not multipose btw. Nobody said "multi-pose". Everybody (including all of my posts) said "multi-part". I fully expect the kit to be just like the Death Guard Plague Marine kit, with multiple builds for each marine. Don't be pedantic; if you look on the GW website, you'll note that whether a kit is multi-part or multi-pose they always describe it as multi-part. As an example, see Rubric Marines & Plague Marines. Though, I did look through this thread and it definitely wasn't here I assumed people would remember it correctly or look it up before making incorrect claims Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350969-after-years-of-waiting/page/4/#findComment-5193002 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be pedantic; if you look on the GW website, you'll note that whether a kit is multi-part or multi-pose they always describe it as multi-part. As an example, see Rubric Marines & Plague Marines. Aye, from what I can tell you're definitely right about the multi-part section. However, they refer to both the new Plague Marines as multi-part and e.g. the multipose Raptors as multi-part. And ahem. Someone did say that. I assumed people would remember it correctly or look it up before making incorrect claims The Lord can be used in any Black Legion detachment just fine. Also the two push-fit mono-pose CSM aren't what we are excited about. We are excited about seeing how GW is envisioning regular CSM to look like and the possibility of getting a full multi-pose box of such Marines soon-ish. Same goes for the other units. The Dark Vengeance box was under Kirby and before GW started to release new legion specific model ranges etc. It feels like you're desperately trying to be negative about it lol I'm not trying to piss in anyone's Khorne flakes. I'm suggesting, based on what we know, we should maybe temper our expectations until we have something more tangible. It wouldn't be the first disappointing CSM release. I'll also bow out of the discussion to save Excessus any further bother:) Edit: Loads of edits, formatting went awry a few times.

Panzer Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I said possibility, not that we're definitely getting one. We are definitely getting a multi-part box but that wasn't what you talked about so it's not something I refered to. ;) You say we should temper our expectations until we have something more tangible, however completely ignore that we do have tangible enough things to warrant being excited about things. It's fine if you aren't. I'm not trying to force you. But please let people be excited about things or else it really comes of as you just trying to "piss in our Khorne flakes".

Midnight Brotherhood Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 GW said in the Nova Q&A that CSM will indeed get a multipart box in the future, they just didn't say when. It was in response to what was in the Blackstone box, they said there are 3 chaos marines in there and follow up question was asked about a standalone box in the future and they said yes a multipart box will come in the future. Obviously the Blackstone Chaos Marines are what that aesthetic is going to look like. That's more than enough to excite me! And plenty tangible enough since it's from GW themselves at an official event.

Azekai Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I am not going to buy Blackstone, but I might pick up some individual bits and pieces down the road. If they sell the traitor guard individually I will certainly get some of them, but I am not spending money on things I don't care about (IE, tons of weird imperial characters or funky xeno drones). My painting backlog is full as it is. I am not going to ride the hype train until I see something substantive, and Blackstone ain't it. I don't put much stock in internet rumors either. Maybe this will herald new Chaos sculpts, and maybe not. Time will tell.

Marshal Loss Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 A bit much. There are lots of parts I like on their own, but when combined together it's a hella busy model.

Khornestar Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Anything other than a mk iv jump pack looks stupid, IMO, but overall I very much like him! The more chaos models, the better. The spear looks a little bent, which is my biggest gripe. Insert joke made in poor taste about a bent shaft.

Panzer Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I love everything about the model except that he can't really see if the doesn't jump this way or look slightly to the side lol The Chaos range looks better and better ... I'm kinda glad GW is releasing generic Chaos Marines before EC now so I have a bit time to properly build up my imperial Marines before diving into the new Chaos range lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350969-after-years-of-waiting/page/4/#findComment-5197840 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sception Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I love the raptor lord, though i expect him to job and die in the narrative and the model to become a generic jump lord after that, and honestly i'm kind of over black legion being the jobber marines. Have been since pandorax. Would have preferred for this guy to be a night lord, they need the jump lord model more, and they haven't been ovejobbed to the point of there being memes about it yet. But as a model on its own, and another indication of the future direction of the generic chaos marine line in general, i love it, busyness and all. The connection to the base looks a bit flimsy, i might repose that or add extra basing material to better anchor both feet. As for the noise marine, I can only pray that it heralds a proper return to form for future noise marine models, in particular vis-a-vis the weaponised guitar. The change from proper sonic weapons to boring generic sci fi blasters was the single most cowardly decision to ever slither its way out of the gw figure design process, and the sooner that horrific mistake is undone the better. Beyond that, I love the throwback color scheme. That's what noise marines should look like! In comparison, the uniformed pink and black of the current studio noise marines, while still kind of cool, is also kind of bland, if not nearly as lifeless as the tragic excuses for sonic weapons they carry. So anyway, yeah, i absolutely adore both these models, and really hope that they're signs of what's to come in the future.
