With a few weapon swaps, these are absolutely incredible terminators for use in 40k IMO. Nothing wrong with the current plastic kit, but for those less daemonically inclined:

I have really mixed feelings on these, and there's certainly a few fans who aren't fond of them, which saddens me, but despite that will absolutely be picking up at least 3 units. Probably one to use as their legit models, one to convert and add some stuff to to make a much more Atramentar Bodyguard unit, and one to mix with other chaos terminator bits (and generic tartaros bits) as a standard 40k squad.

 

I'd love to hear other people's opinions and plans for them as well though!

What are the mixed feelings regarding?

 

I plan to do something insane and build 30 word bearers terminators once the codex drops, but I’m waiting until that point to do so. These could make a decent base to add to, if I decide so don’t want all 30 to look similar.

I've read some people saying they're a bit clunky, which I can understand. The poses are a bit awkward, but I think just changing some of the angles on the arms a bit helps tremendously with that.

 

I personally think they look really cool and I'll probably be picking up a set. Though as I don't play Horus Heresy, I do wonder how tiny they are compared to the new plastic termies. I'm hoping the size difference isn't too glaring, cause I'd really like to sprinkle some of these in as either terminators equipped with heavy weapons or the leaders. I also think there's some great potential for Lord or Sorcerer conversions on these. Especially the second one on the left.

Why so many word bearer terminators?

I have a few nitpicks with the squad but overall they look pretty good. The details are nice for the most part and I dig the collars as well as the heads, I just think that they don't quite come together. They will offer a fine opportunity to stock up my terror marines with new blood though - great conversion fodder. :biggrin.:

Crazy person. Big army project, and I love the unit.

I like the models and will have to see when I get around to them. I wonder if the weapon options will be a simple swap as they look molded to the arms, which then brings the question of can the current arms be easily converted on? I will wait, been want to pick up Sevatar anyway so I will wait until they are released and if the price point isn't completely stupid I will pick up a squad. I have some cataphractii terms still on sprue somewhere anyway.

If you end up playing HH as well, 30 termi's is nothing. I could easily add another 10 for 40 to model two separate 5 man command squads (one tartaros, one cataphractii). Thats not even counting terminator HQ's....  I think these will scale with the plastics arms for alt weapons, likely separate shoulder pads also.

The terminators are back in stock already. I was wondering if they would take a while like the DA models did to become available again. I just ordered some and plan to swap out their weapons to make them useable in 40K. I really like them; looking forward to painting them.
