Ripper.McGuirl Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Like a lot of the character series, as painted and built stock, it’s fine. Once converted and painted differently: totally badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like usual, the eavy metal style does not work very well, especially for the transitionary Emperor's children. The sculpt might be amazing, but the angle and paintjob make it, in my opinion, look terrible. Brother Sutek 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Kraskor Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Lol that reference sheet pic just resulted in a whole conversation getting deleted by the admins on crusade and heresy. They're really losing their stuff over there. Only some early pics of the rules are allowed and don't spoil the head admin. Or something. As for the psychic phase/perils. There's no more phase, and far fewer powers. Each discipline gives you a weapon and a power. The weapons are either used in the shooting or melee phase and need a LD test to activate (similar to 5th and earlier). The actual powers go off at varying times, and most don't actually need a test to activate; making them stronger does require a test. For example, telekine some is used your movement phase instead of moving, and projects a 6+ invul bubble for as long as the psyker stays still. But, he can juice it with a test for a 4++ instead. Perils happens when you fail a test. The unit takes d3 wounds with no armour or damage mitigation allowed. This means you get invuls, and the psyker model doesn't have to take the wounds; it can arc off to the squad. This sounds really ace. As someone who left 40k in early 5th, coming into Heresy with things like armour value, templates, terminator armour meaning something, and now this slimmed-down psychic are giving me a nostalgic thrill. As for Lucius, the angle makes it look like he's got a longsword and a dagger but I think that dagger is meant to be the Blade of the Laer? From the xenos-looking design. There's a bit too much stuff on him, the leather between chest and waist, the things hanging of his belt, the gloves, all a bit much for me.

SkimaskMohawk Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Yea I really like the new psychic system. It's an extremely unobtrusive set of rules that actually have a use. Instead of it being "hope you can roll a good divination spell and that it can go off without being denied; have fun against thousand sons and word bearers." tinpact 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Foes Remain Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 I wish they had given Lucius a more actiony pose, we've had a lot of looking heroic poses lately and if anyone should have a actiony post it should have been him. He does look like a easy conversion into a centurion/praetor though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corswain Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 I like the Lucius model. More exciting though are random Heresy reveals and articles outside of Thursday. We've already seen more Heresy stuff this week than we may have seen in past months.

Like usual, the eavy metal style does not work very well, especially for the transitionary Emperor's children. The sculpt might be amazing, but the angle and paintjob make it, in my opinion, look terrible. Think we can all agree that having the only angle show basically head on to one of his weapons was a strange choice, yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW's images always seem to be based around showing the most details of the model, not the model's golden angle.

Brofist Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Just to nip it on the bud before it hits on here- there are some pictures and notes from the box set rules going around. It is tough to decipher what might be an actual change in the rules vs completely ignoreable box set rules. So don't put any stock into them.

spessmarine Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 HQs Praetor duo Infantry Mk.VI Dreadnought Contemptor update Vehicles - tanks specifically Rhino Sicaran Spartan Kratos Upgrades Special/heavy weapons Quite impressively an armour heavy start, tanks make up like half the lineup so far Brofist 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfTheLion Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 The upgrade sprues allow the one infantry kit to cover a lot of ground (tactical support and heavy support), so it's weight is reduced due to that. I'm glad off the bat we're getting vehicles moving out of resin, I think that's a good move. I wouldn't be shocked to further see the Land Raider come up sooner rather than later.

Hfran Morkai Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share Posted May 10, 2022 I wouldn't be shocked to further see the Land Raider come up sooner rather than later. Oh I hope so (and for all the variants) as my favourite is tbe MkIIB but appreciate a lot of people love the Proteus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I think we can definitely expect an HH Land Raider kit based on the Proteus with the option to give it a ramp and a hull mounted lascannon like we're seeing with the Spartan getting that option too.

tinpact Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Contemptor's are now W5, and the Power Fist is now S7 and has lost Murderous Strike. Lascannons lost Sundering. Huh, does that go for all power fists, or just the Contemptor one? (I would assume so, it would be strange for marines to hit at S8 and dreadnoughts at S7). If so, it would help solve the problem of power fists being the best general-use power weapon, since you can't just take it and ID dudes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
