Vorenus Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I've been looking at the pictures on the Warhammer community website for the pre-release sneak peek that shows a squad of Black Legion Terminators, and I can't tell if that is a new sculpt or not. Could someone who is an expert at discerning details tell me if that is a new sculpt? Thanks.

Danny Cyanide Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 You bet it is. Here it is next to one of the current Termies: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/354646-bringers-of-despair-new-terminator-sculpt/#findComment-5279138 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MithrilForge Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I'm getting a Gollum feeling about this release... "We wants them,we needs them!"

Tokugawa Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Looks like old kits with new weapon sprue? If it is a 100% new kit, imo it is a totally failure. A new kit should make customers "Ouch! It is decades better than the old ones", not to make customers check the details of the photo carefully, and confirm "yes, it is new kit".

MithrilForge Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 @Tokugawa- i guess your cup is half empty then eh yeah its a total failure and no one at all is going to buy them.... .....Not... I think the wording "Subtle differences" is key here...

The comparison is just helpful because they are this close in design. The new models ARE miles better. If you think it looks like an old kit with new weapon sprues you need to get your eyes checked. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/354646-bringers-of-despair-new-terminator-sculpt/#findComment-5279188 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Cyanide Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Indeed! They have far nicer poses, look much larger and their details are far finer! Teeth coming out of trim on a few of them, curvy trim instead of just blocky arrows, all around nicer models!

Gederas Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Yeah.... Seriously: Those CLEARLY don't look like the old ones. Similar because they're Terminators, yes. But not exactly the same.

Dr_Ruminahui Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I too thought they were the old ones at first, but I think that's because the only chaos terminators I've built were the terminator lord/sorcerer model (I've built and painted one of each). And the new terminators are very similar as to detail and aesthetics to those. Which isn't a bad thing - if I'm mistaking the new models for one of the better character kits, that means the new models are pretty darn good. That said, I hope they aren't bigger than the character terminator - I'm not keen on buying a set of terminators only to find they make my characters look like dwarves.

Midnightmare Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I am just hoping that they don’t absolutely dwarf all my other Terminators!! If they do by a lot, I may not even get them which would be kind of sad as they are lovely models. On a plus though, my Lord is based on Zhufor so he should be comparable in stature. Even better, he can now be used as a mini Abaddon with the re-rolls stratagem.

the emperor is scottish Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 love love love them. I've already posted my feeling on these guys over on the rumour thread but yeah i do love them. Not overly busy with lots of potential for conversions and freehand. The champions power sword is amazing!

Slave to Darkness Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Wonder how much they will cost if the csm box is £35. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/354646-bringers-of-despair-new-terminator-sculpt/#findComment-5279302 Share on other sites More sharing options...
the emperor is scottish Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Wonder how much they will cost if the csm box is £35. I would put them about the same. Same price but for fewer Models.

Wayniac Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Price-wise I'm guessing the same as the CSM kit but for 5 models rather than 10. Looks-wise, these are the only ones I'm disappointed about. They don't look different enough. The fact so many people are confused about whether or not they are new speaks volumes. They are still cool models, but the fact they pretty much look identical to the other ones just a bit bulkier means I like them the least of the new releases (So like they are a 7/10). Someone elsewhere put a funny thing forward though: These might be the last Indomitus pattern Terminators we ever see for 40k since it's likely Primaris Marines are going to have their own equivalent.

I ain't in the UK, but the CSM box is £35, which is the same as Intercessors. Intercessors over here in the US are $60. The Aggressors/Inceptors are $50. Terminators might follow suit, less models, but only marginally less expensive? Maybe?

Tallarn Commander Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Plus the new terminator models don't have the old models' ridiculously tiny waists. I always had to add chains to their waists to give them some heft.

Furnace Lord Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I'm going to field them just for the Champion's power sword. That thing is delightful.

Closet Skeleton Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Aggressors are 3 models a box, that's why they're cheaper than 10. Genestealer Acolytes are 5 for the same price Neophytes are for 10. If it is a 100% new kit, imo it is a totally failure. A new kit should make customers "Ouch! It is decades better than the old ones", not to make customers check the details of the photo carefully, and confirm "yes, it is new kit". I know what you mean but Chaos Terminators don't need revamping. They were just a half decent kit disadvantaged by being produced just before GW invested in the equipment to do them justice.

Deadass Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I'm gonna have to get one or two boxes of the new termies, aswell as a squad of Justaerin. I need to convert some terminators of the Aphotic Blade... and version no.4 of my Chaos Lord.

Deadass Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 It's less of a scale problem and more of a matter of him fitting into the design of the new range... at the moment, he looks a little too much like a Heresy-era praetor. Be that as it may, I'm super excited for those termies, I hope we'll see a new chaos lord too... even if I've had my expectations lowered by the Night Lords focus.
