This isn't all that is coming. We may be seeing Mk II and another dreadnought in plastic too but not seen pictures of those.

Well, looks like I have the starter set to do a full-fledged IF list the complement my Blood Angels and Dark Angels lists. Freeloader, any sense of this is the Leviathan or the Deredeo? Or is it something entirely new?

 

It would make a great book - but it’s not very Sons of Horus vs Imperial Fists, or very Mk vi - so runs counter to the rumours. Would be nice if they gave us free rules, I thought it interesting they didn’t say “and you can find rules for him in the upcoming supplement ...”. Maybe it’s just more filling in the gaps (and very welcome that is)

I had a thought about that today while I should have been working, what if the Mk6 is just a tactical squad (like the mk3/4 were) and were painted up at SoH/IF for display purposes and the new box set is something else?

 

I wouldn't be too mad about this, I'd prefer it even.

 

It's annoying that FW keeps dancing around MK2 and MK5, the two most common armor patterns of the Heresy, and decides to go for the one that only two legions had in large amounts.

Still, any box is better than no box at all. Hopefully the leaked box will sell well and FW will be convinced to make another one like they did Prospero after Calth.

Also, you been told of any idea of a timeline on the Mk2?

 

Nothing yet, it's hard to say anything certain because it's all been delayed twice now I think. I think it was supposed to be the big Warhammerfest reveal at one point. This reveal may force their hand now.

 Leviathan, but nothing confirmed so just hearsay.

let’s be honest, none of the trolls have enough humility to state how wrong they were. This is super exciting! Plastik Spartan??? I’m blown away…

Idk, I feel like people mocking the complaining are the trolls. Like "see, you're getting support with Titanicus! It doesn't matter that it's a different game in a different scale and you were asking for rules and models and not just setting content. You had a release!"

 

The complaints were all the other specialist ranges got a lot of support, attention and communication; heresy got range cuts, slower releases, rules content cut, and no communication. There was a lot of negligence.

That's a concern I have, Doghouse, that this may go the way of Cursed City/Indomitus and be gone in a flash (and that I'll be at work when pre-orders go up). So I hope they pay attention to the hype that's been generated from these blury pictures and make enough. Hell, if it's been delayed twice they've had enough damn time!

Well I definitely think this will be a proper release rather than a splash release as it sounds like the core set for Heresy rather than a spin off game like the last two boxes. This is a crafty way of selling what GW sells best, more marines and if they could get that to be the rumoured 3rd big box game then it's a dream come true for them, one set of minis that are marines that both sides of the game can use and 40k players will buy.

 

Mk VI is a good choice because it works well for 30k and 40k so chances are players of both going to be buying them.

 

The thing I am interested in seeing is if the interest for 30k continues once the novels come to an end. I've always known more readers of those books than people that actually play 30k

I guess the intrest and fate of 30k will depend on the rumour regarding the Black Books. I mean, yes they are expensive for what they are (the last one more-so) but they are nice books and FW said from the start they wanted to do 20-ish in total. If we're getting another book (which Anuj has hinted towards) to match up with the release of Age of Darkness 2.0 and it's the last one, I could see interest wanning.

FW released the Umbra as an upgrade last year.

Though this marks another FW set that has gone plastic, the two before being the necromunda ones.

Ahhhhh and again I can drink another glass of I told you so.

It gets better everytime we go through the ever returning process of "HH is dead" phrases getting louder and louder until finally some new stuff drops.

Hmmmmm.

Tasty new stuff. Wonder if the Spartan really is plastic, though.

Okay so the real question is:

 

White Scars or Blood Angels to go with my Fists or Sons of Horus to go ahainst my Fists?

I think I feel WS the most honestly. More dreads can still go to my fists. And I wanted a second spartan anyways....

...I must have missed that.

 

Still, Plastic Umbra Boltguns, anyone? Now we only need the Umbra Ferrox variant in plastic, but kitbashing 'em with a boxmag and some sights will propably make do.

 

Also, if that Spartan is plastic, Cerberus and Typhon tanks will be that much easier to aquire, with some kitbashing, work and patience.

It's really sad for me to see that so many people fall into the trap of "if something is repeated often enough people will start to believe it's true." Unfortunately, the trolls impacted a lot of the community who I can tell actually started to believe it was true...

I know a lot of people that would be open to starting a 30k force, if there was an easier method of entry. Something like this would go a long way. We're looking to start a group at the local GW store, and this would be extremely helpful.

 

Judging by the scatter dice and the proper loadouts, it looks proper to beginning 30k, which will be well appreciated.

 

I am really excited if MK II is on the way as well, that will be awesome. I'd love to see MK V as well, but it may not be time for that yet.

 

Judging by the look, these will build more like the CSM kits or Primaris, as the torso pieces show rotation, but that is fine to me.
