MichaelCarmine Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022  Same smoke launcher design on the Spartan as on the Deimos Rhino mockup picture.. High possibility of a shared common accesories sprue  Would make sense, given the great amount of pintle mounted weapon options, shared by every Astartes vehicle. =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowCore67 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Honestly more excited to see the plastic MK2 gunner than the Spartan lol Noserenda, Telhdrat and MichaelCarmine 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astartes Consul Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Personally, I'm happy to see that there have only been minor changes to the kit, as far as I can tell. Was a little worried after seeing last week's reveal that GW might have gone over the top and used the move to plastic to 'improve' the Spartan and/or Contemptor designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trixie Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 The plastic Spartan looks great and there is no complaints from me on this one. I'm looking forward to not having to deal with resin vehicles so often in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripper.McGuirl Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 My only regret is that it took so long for them to get plastic heresy stuff out that I have already suffered through all the resin and now have less need of the newness. infyrana and Marshal Mittens 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mittens Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Really nice looking kit. A part of me wants like 3 of them. Or more. I like the light weathering it has too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baluc Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Â Â Same smoke launcher design on the Spartan as on the Deimos Rhino mockup picture.. High possibility of a shared common accesories sprue There is a accessories spure that has the copulas and pintle mounted weapons on it. It looks pretty universal.

Gorgoff Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Wonder why they felt the need to put the Aquila in the Spartan kit? infyrana 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torvak Kyre Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Wonder why they felt the need to put the Aquila in the Spartan kit? To give people the option of showing their allegiance on what may be their flagship vehicle? The article also says that there’s a Eye of Horus for traitors too.

BitsHammer Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Wonder why they felt the need to put the Aquila in the Spartan kit?Same reason they also put the Eye of Horus in it: to allow people to show their army's allegiance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mittens Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) If these kits are priced reasonably, I think we will see a lot of Spartans on the table, which is nice. The land raider look is just so iconic to me, it pulls at all the right nostalgia feels. And it's huge, which makes it even nicer.

The article also says that there’s a Eye of Horus for traitors too. He might be talking about the fact that it's the palatine itself, and not one of the knockoffs of general imperial allegiance.

lansalt Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 The palatine aquila in the spartan may have been put (incorrectly) as the generic loyalist icon. But since the IF praetor also has it in his belt buckle, and he and the SoH guy (librarian?) have too much bling in their armour, this may be a perfect Emperor's Children army box. painting.for.my.sanity 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinpact Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 (edited) It's interesting, but unless there's ever any clarification on the exact significance and definition of the Palatine Aquila, I would assume that the important part of the EC being able to wear it is that they're allowed to wear it on their chests, being their most prominent and forward-facing piece of armor. Â So, it's probably fine to put on coins and on standards - and more generally after the war starts and the EC defect.

The land raider look is just so iconic to me, it pulls at all the right nostalgia feels. And it's huge, which makes it even nicer. Â To be fair, Spartans have always been a big feature in Heresy armies with 'Deathstar' builds - and why there have been many template options to stop them! Â The model looks great - and it'd certainly be one I'd want to add to other forces :tu:. Marshal Mittens 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
