Alby the Slayer Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) 23 minutes ago, Marshal Reinhard said: Artwork throwback is nice. But also nonsensical (why is there an ammo feed? Dont tell me there's a bolter hidden in there...) It's for the rotating mini rocket launcher. Which is utter nonsense 'cause the use of rotating barrels is to cool down them due to a high cicle of firing. But in the front of the barrels of the rocket launcher you can see every missile is already loaded AND the launch box plus the ammo belt is not enough to have a sustain rate of fire for prolonged time. They should have make a custom backpack for that. I know it's only fiction but these are solid projectiles, not laser or plasma and they should have a barely resemblance with reality. And if not, at least the guns should be good looking.

Captain Idaho Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Dreadnought looks cool, but then I'm biased as I love Dreadnoughts. Desolators for me suffer from 3 factors - they don't match the aesthetic of 40K, the grim dark Imperium, at all. Which is a problem I have with much of the line to be honest. 2nd factor is the Missile Launchers are Rifles rather than shoulder mounted, which doesn't feel right. 3rd factor is they're just too busy. Double barrelled missile launcher with underslung rotary rocket pod (gatling cannon?) and the Sergeant has a missile launcher, lascannon and rotary cannon gun? I don't mind silly in 40K if I can suspend disbelief, but there are limits! Things like this illustrate it well...

jimbo1701 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Lukewarm release sadly. I like the lt kit and it shows a welcome move back to character kits with more weapon options. desolators just look….off. They shouldn’t, but they do. Compare devastators and the missile launchers are no larger than say the lascannons, I think they’re just too busy. Single weapon would have been better accepted, and some different poses such as kneeling. dreadnought would look better in red covered in battle damage so I’m sure it’ll grow on me. It’s exactly how I pictured it in my mind so no surprise / disappointment. Edited January 27, 2023 by jimbo1701 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brattak Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I think some kind of back mounted rocket launcher in combination with a gravis Armor would have been better for these guys. Additionally I have a feeling in my guts, that they will receive a special rule, which allows them to ignore the nerf to indirect fire they introduced last year.

Borbarad Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 There are some excellent 3rd party bitz makers out there. I’m hopeful for an alternative (shoulder mounted) missle kit to put on those desolators.

At the same time, the Hammerfall Bunker also has the same names for its missiles, I doubt they 'll have the same stats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephaston Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 The way the desolators launchers look it seems one could just leave the top mounted rockets off it and put them on the power pack. So if the rotary launcher turns out to be the main gun you'd have a real whacky rocket rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Officer Doofy Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 This whole game is over the top silly, knights running around with chainswords in space. The guys with the giant nerf guns fit right in. The thing that bothers me the most is the tiny feet on the dread. It's going to walk like a drunk chick in high heels.

ShibeKing Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Space Marines always look better in red... or black. Not digging the Desolators. The guns just really bug me.

Just move the large missle attachments to the backpack Spoiler I agree about moving the missiles on the backpack. Something like the Starship Troopers design would have been a lot better. Hell, even Tor Garadon doesn't hold his Grav-gun, he has it mounted on the backpack... Majkhel, templargdt and beefeb 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lansalt Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Desolators: As most of you guys have said, they're terrible and to me a sign of designers that have no idea of what they're doing with the SM range. If GW wanted multipurpose micro missile launchers they should have copied the original RT versions like the one in my avatar from Space Cruisade. I would only save their backpacks with auspex for DW conversions. Brutalis: Passable, but spoiled by the stupid mandatory heavy stubbers that do not belong in SM vehicles. Lieutenant: The only saving grace of this release. A nice multipart HQ with good aesthetics, pose, and options. Good job here GW. 10/10 Edited January 27, 2023 by lansalt beefeb, Domhnall, Aarik and 4 others 7 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Knight Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 These new models are all fantastic. The Lieutenant is looking like the best character kit since the old plastic "Space Marine Commander" that was a gold mine for different bits. The Brutallis Dreadnought is really cool. More similar to a Redemptor than I expected but I'm glad, they'll look great alongside each other. As for the Missile Launcher Primaris - I need 10.

Lysimachus Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Love the Lt. Dread is fine, though I would have liked some more Ironclad-style heavy armour? Desolators I don't get... so I'm assuming the Castellan Launcher is the underslung multi-barrel thing? Then you get a choice between the bigger two missile launcher (squad at top of pic, superkrak?) and smaller four missile launcher (squad at bottom of pic, superfrag?) Also agree that the belt feed (presumably to the Castellan?) makes no sense at all... It's way too complicated, would 100% just get a HH upgrade kit with the cool launchers and kitbash with Primaris bodies.

Sergeant Centurion Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I expect more from the dread, not bad but my expectations was to high i think, dammed heavy stubbers, why? . The desolators, well not bad, the gun its ridiculous and i love it, and i like more the thin missile tubes ver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
painting.for.my.sanity Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Lukewarm on the Brutalis Dreadnought, and given I've three standard Redemptors already I imagine I'll pass on buying one. I actively dislike the Desolators - the gun/missile launcher/nerf blaster/thingies are a complete mess. If I do ever add a squad to my collection, it'll be using a box of Intercessors and the Horus Heresy heavy weapons sprues. The Lieutenant though... I'm unexpectedly very excited about him. I already have far far more than I need (the Crusade is nearly at 30 Castellans of various flavours!) but I really want one. The tabard, power fist, bionic arm and plasma pistol are just too cool to pass up.

01RTB01 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 0220 over here so we'll see better in the morning but honestly those missile marines are the first primaris models that I really don't like. Sorry to the sculptors as they spent ages on stuff but not nice. The seraphon designers however, wowsers they look superb!
