Brother Tyler Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 These are now available for order and in the hands of lucky hobbyists, so I'm moving this to the Age of Darkness forum.

m0nolith Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I need to point out the fact that there may not be a substantial scale creep for the rest of the range, at least to the level of the praetors. There’s the possibility that HQs are generally going to be bigger from now on. This isn’t anything new. Valdor is huge compared to a regular Custodian for example.

Slips Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 So glad we can discuss scale now. No, not really. It would have to be specifically about the IF Praetors, yknow, the subject of the topic and not going on tangents/rants about the scale of minis as a whole. Because, if you do, I'll just nuke it for being OT.

BLACK BLŒ FLY Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Lol kk… that’s exactly what I meant though and we can see by the pix that the new sculpts got up sized which I personally think is fantastic.

Vazzy Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I'm actually happy they dont come with bare heads. Can I ask why slips?

Matcap86 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I'd hope they resize some of the other praetors as well. Bit weird to have a dark angel praetor from last year be a head and a bit shorter than the new ones.

Slips Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I'm actually happy they dont come with bare heads. Can I ask why slips? I love having options for both and having heads I can use for other projects! Because I slap helmets on when/where possible; even my Sigismund I gave a helmet. The only reason my Polux and Dorn dont is because it would be more work for me to get one that fits them well (or in Polux's case, his gorget was in the way). Otherwise, none of my Marine minis have bare heads if theres a helmet option available.

LameBeard Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I don’t wanna be off topic or anything, but my son’s rule with his 30k Word Bearers is that having horns is the only acceptable excuse for not wearing your helmet.

Joe Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 To be honest it's a little odd that they didn't come with bare heads - maybe Simon just couldn't come up with a satisfying enough design for them?

I agree, but I think people are wondering why there isn’t both, like most of the Praetors have got, rather than just bare heads instead of the helmets.

Bung Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Well it fits the lore of Imperial Fists being more professional Soldiers than Warriors. A soldier would always wear his helmet in action.

Excessus Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Saw these making the rounds. The Terminator Praetor is a... big guy (for you). Edit: Sauce Have FW adressed this size difference in any way? Are they re-scaling the old preators as well to keep it in line with the new size? I doubt they'll be re-making the MkIV and MkIII...I have so many questions...

Joe Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Courtesy of Antus on Discord. Given the old Praetors are CAD, they might benefit from increasing the scale and re-releasing them...

LameBeard Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Thanks for the pictures. I’m ok with scale creep but these look like scale jump. It might be fun to have a few such models to represent the giants of your legion, but still now not sure if the new mk vi will go beyond everyone’s expected “new CSM” scale.

Lord Marshal Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 See, this is why more of you need to play 'mere mortal' Imperial Army as judging by the Krieg plastics you don't need to worry about being scale crept like Marines do.
