[Lord Marshal]

What big... flying stands you have.

 

 

 

 

And some new art.

Gorgeous 

[Fire Golem]

Very nice (although I’m not sure about that bare head…)

[Dont-Be-Haten]

Probably 3 for $65 right? 

[MARK0SIAN]

Has the time between reveal and release been anything vaguely resembling consistent for these things? I’m trying to think how long it was between the Scorpius or the proteus being shown then being available.

[TrawlingCleaner]

The barehead looks like they've Justice-League-Superman-ed  one of the bare heads from the Tactical marine kit:

 

Fantastic looking kit!

[WrathOfTheLion]

Yeah, these are great. A few for the 1st Legion will be pretty awesome.

He's bald, it's aerodynamic!

 

The sheath for a sword on the side is a really neat detail!

[Triszin]

These are fantastic

[Orange Knight]

Wow these are actually great! 

 

I think I might grab a few.... and now I have to re-think my entire list!

[Noserenda]

Looking good, especially in the big pics here, its was only showing me little ones on the article!

I like the eye of Horus on the bow too, presumably can be swapped for an eagle?

[m_r_parker]

I decided to take a look on FW to see how much the resin equivalent were, and they're no longer there. Anyone recall? 

Not a unit I would have foreseen to be converted to plastic this early on, but welcome none the less! Going to hedge my bets at Shroud Runner money (£40 for 3)

[SkimaskMohawk]

The models are awesome and the price literally can't be worse than....what was it, ~£32 each?

 

But ya those flying stands are janky as hell lol. Looks like we know why anti-grav doesn't get to claim cover, though it makes their inability to hop over models even more confusing.

Look top right on the inset image showing the nosecone weapon options.

[Cyrox]

Nice that these are coming in plastic, but i still don't like the overall design.

 

Love the sheathed chainswords and also the little scanners hanging down on the right below the rider on two of them.

 

You can see the gap under one of the Eye icons, and the weapon close ups show an eagle so definitely swappable.

 

Shame they aren't MkIV but its all about Beakies at the moment so it was to be expected

 

Raven Guard upgrades next week then?

[ShadowCore67]

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I was really hoping for a different armor mark on the riders.

 

Oh well, still look great

If you look at the weapon showcase, the one with the multimelta has the eye swapped out.

That was my first thought! Been looking forward to these and the fact they use the new type of flying stem almost made me cry  Will still buy at least 2 boxes on launch, as they do look great, but will probably look to base them another way.

 

Wasn't expecting these today though - was convinced we'd see the last of the upgrade sets and then the bikes at LVO.

Chefskiss

[Imren]

Nice! Although the resin ones are not that tough to build. Too bad they got nerfed so much in the new rules you barely see any play them nowadays.

[Urauloth]

Please wear a helmet when you go jetbiking, brother.
This kit looks amazing, can't wait to see these in various legion colours. Especially Salamanders. I'm NOT going to buy these and paint them up as Salamanders because that wouldn't be responsible. I'd never do anything like that.

[arnesh88]

Do they come with flame pistols is my question. I want them for my salamanders so I can slap on a heavy flamer (legion rules allow it) and a flame pistol to have 2 templates per model.

[LameBeard]

Having the volkite serpenta is nice. If only there were some plastic chainaxes on the way … well who am I kidding. Surely there will be before I’ve painted my current models!

[jaxom]

I'm guessing they're plastic, but I don't think I actually read they are in the article.

[Old-Four-Arms]

And soon you’ll be able to add them to your army in plastic. 

 

Hope that there's an Umbra-pattern bolt pistol in the kit as well..
