Marshal Loss Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Great news folks! The Ophydian Destroyers come with 6 different heads, so there is some customisation available. Absolutely love the models.

Absolutely love the models. And depending on the scale difference (if any) between Ophydian and Skorpekh destroyers-- might be an easy enough headswap to add variety to duplicate skorpekhs too Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364076-an-ancient-evil-awakens/page/36/#findComment-5618728 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely love the models. I got two boxes on pre-order. Whether they are optimal or not, they are some of my favorite models in a while.

Tyriks Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 If anyone is on the fence about the Void Dragon, I think it was far more enjoyable to build than Szarekh or any of the other new stuff. Some of the bits were fiddly and fragile while cutting them off the sprue, but that's nothing new and it is more stable than it looks. I'll probably come to hate it once I start trying to paint it, though.

The_Chaplain Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 For anyone curious about the 6 head options in the Ophidian destroyers box-- theyre all pretty much similar heads to the skorpekh heads in that they have dings and dents and scratches, with one exception. There is a head that is missing the lower jaw/mandible area. None of the heads are as beat up as in the warrior box. :( Tyriks 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364076-an-ancient-evil-awakens/page/36/#findComment-5622124 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be a loooong time before I get around to that, I'm guessing. It just costs so much for a model I won't likely use (and already have the old one if I do need to use it).

Tyriks Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 It's way more sprues, at least.

Seahawk Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Wow. Seeing them next to each other now, just wow. The old one is sooo much better, I'd only trade out the portal and gun options. I'll just get some 160mm bases and slap my old triplets on them.

Kaldoth Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Well, a preview of the index inside the new IA compendium was posted. Looks like the Maynarkh characters have been resigned to the scrap pile :/ As has the tomb complex.

The_Chaplain Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Remember, these things *should* be getting a legends datasheet at least. So narrative/crusade play use will still be an option?

Seahawk Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) Technically, they're fine for tournaments and matched play too. An event has to say "No Legends" for them to be disallowed. @01RTB01: I prefer the old version because of its geometry. It looks absolutely solid, it magnificently durable, and really lives up to the living metal name. The new one, while super detailed, is much too organic for my metallic tastes. It also looks much less enduring, and the layers just make it seem more open and hollow and easier to damage. The geometric disco ball too is...unsightly. Honestly it kinda looks like Clayface, with all those unnecessary layers on the surface. A big pile of mud that is in fact smaller than the old monolith, not bigger as advertised. The new corner guns and portal are the only things I like about the new one.
