Marshal Arthur Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I’m struggling. Do I use the pop goes the monkey shoulder crosses? Or take the time to clip and file off the shoulder pads and use classic Templar pauldrons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Blade guard, captain etc, are wearing tabards (whice we've discussed previously, are actually aprons but I digress), that go under the chest plate for some reason. Like the Ancient a lot better now that I know he has a crusade style helm. Not sure about the surcoat... he looks kinda.... muted? Diminutive? he doesn't even hold a weapon. Not sure it feels so much marine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Isn't the Judiciar just wearing a coat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure it feels so much marine... Not a tabard at all: Never has any Space Marine model been depicted with a Tabard. Isn't the Judiciar just wearing a coat? No, it's a surcoat. Compare this surcoat: To the Judiciar: He's wearing a later period surcoat (as that's when they tended to have sleeves), but it's a surcoat.

Sword Brother Adelard Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I just hope he has a different head option. I need someone to grab the sprue shots when the live stream ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 The judiciars coat has sleaves even. He just has unrobed his right arm holding his executioneers sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gederas mentioned sleeves, apparently they came later. Ooh, the Ancient would look good with a BT lantern instead of the skeleton hand, and the sheathed sword from the Upgrade kit.

Marshal Reinhard Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) Regardless, what the bladeguard are wearing are essentially the same as the old BT upgrade sprue. Call those what you will (they're technically aprons) but with the big difference that the top breast plate is going on top of it rather than the cloth going on top of the plate. Which is a really odd decision. Guess you can think of 'em as loincloths instead. Edited June 13, 2020 by Reinhard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I hope Last Light does a video about converting them to full tabards.I can see why they've done it though, tabards are a particularly monastic/crusading knight thing, which doesn't fit all of the chapters, but really fits some. This is a little bit more universal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medjugorje Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 i have no problem with this models. I love them without anything bad on them. btw... I love the chain on the Judicar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sete Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) I like the chaplain. No BT transfer is not a surprise. I will be skipping this one. Gonna wait for the full kits. Edited June 13, 2020 by Sete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 My concern is that we won't see a lot of these models outside a Start Collecting box. (If even then, if DI is anything to go by!) In which case, I reckon i may as well get this, get the rulebook I would have to get anyway, and then flog the Crons, and try and make back half of my money.

Sete Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I might get the Marshall (maybe the chappie too) on the side. But I'm not in a particular hurry to buy the rest of the stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Arthur Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I have a friend who wants the necrons so we’ll each get one and swap the models. I just need to figure out how best to convert them. On another note while I love almost all the new stuff that ATV is one of the ugliest things I’ve ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I'm thinking you can do cool things with the ATV with just some minor alterations, so im withholding my judgement. But the stock setup feels awkward, even adorable in a sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOneTrueZon Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 All the aesthetic misses of the ATV will be outweighed by what will surely be OP stats at the open. A lot of shots, no penalty to shoot and move, and a long move at that - 12-16", put one of those with three bikes and that's a highly mobile threat package.

BitsHammer Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Well my Crusade will definitely be getting a Marshall out of this box: As for the stuff they previewed at the -very- end of the show, remember: everything looks better in black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medjugorje Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) I will buy this box minimum 3x. If you can play the guys more then 3 models per unit then I will buy this box 6 times. The box gives you options to different helmets etc... Edited June 13, 2020 by Medjugorje Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medjugorje Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 i heard about 150 EUR or maybe 180 EUR. But it doesnt matter to me. I will buy that stuff. I want it, I get it. And one of my biggest armies next to my Black Templars are Necrons what intense to buy this box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 the amount of doubles among the assault interecessors would make my brain hurt. I will either only get half of the intercessors, or ill modify half of them so they're less double. then get more when the full kit drops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medjugorje Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 (edited) Its plastic - you can work with it "A few chains here, a few bitz there and then using a knive to change the postion of that arm in here...

Hymnblade Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 The main thing I want multiples of is the Bladeguard, so I'd rather pick those up off Ebay than get multiple full boxes. If you want all of it, more power to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 The ATV might look better with a roll cage like the one on the Invictor? I reckon you could probably mix and match the Assault Intercessor bodies with regular bodies, and BT arms to get some nice variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
