Karhedron Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Loving the Brutalis Dread, my trusty old Furioso has got a big glow-up. Not sold on the Lieutenant. I am sure he is very nice and a great source of parts but he just looks unexciting. I heard rumours of a Gravis Lt and I guess that is what I was hoping for. As it stands, I prefer the Indomitus Lt with sword and shield. Not quite decided on the Desolators yet. The guns are comically over-sized, even by 40K's "larger than life" standard. I can't help seeing this when I look at them. Rune Priest Jbickb, RolandTHTG, skylerboodie and 1 other 1 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhg033 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Dread - fine though I was kind of hoping for something with a more different silhouette to the remdemptor. Given all the boarding actions stuff what I was really hoping for a 'mission dreadnought' option a la space crusade. Captain/lieutenant - yep, nailed the multipart option here. Could happily use this model a few times. Desolators - not convinced. You could use some green stuff to make it look like they were taping all those weapons together like ripley in Alien 2 and I think it might make them more plausible than them actually being designed that way. Shoulder or backpack mounted would have been better. Iron Father Ferrum 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 The Redemptor chassis works a lot better for me as a melee chassis like this than the standard one. I was never a massive fan of that but the Brutalis just works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrox Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Well, I'm disappointed in the Dreadnought, I was expecting something a little different than a Redemptor with smashy arms and some new kneeplates, gues the preview image was unrelated. Also, more stubbers, why?! The Desolation squad is ok, i can take it or leave it. The multikit Lieutenant is a nice surprise, although they've added a rock again for no reason whatsoever. 1 hour ago, Borbarad said: Unpopular (or popular?) opinion: the heavy stubber is a low-grade weapon that has no place in a space marine army. Should have stayed with imperial guard instead. Agreed - stubbers were supposed to be the billy basic of guns, below Autopistols, Autorifles and Autocannons. Its what you see in the hands of Necromunda gang juves and should not be in a Space Marie army that's supposed be advanced. Cawl clearly has a penchant for vintage weaponry. Ah well. At least the Arbites are nice! Edited January 27, 2023 by Cyrox skylerboodie, Iron Father Ferrum and Matcap86 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belt feeds into the multi-rotary launcher so it doesn't have to manually reload. I'd wager the sculpts originally didn't have the box launchers on originally.

Orange Knight Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 The Brutalis really does look like an update to the Furioso. I think it adds some weight to the Blood Angel rumours for the 10th edition starter, a few more kits and their themed options will be represented by Primaris, but honestly who knows at this point. templargdt, Spyros and Emperor Ming 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleon Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 At first glance I certainly prefer the boxy Desolators at the back to the more rounded ones at the front. I'm not sure from the descriptions if we're expecting them to point the same gun at two different units in the same turn and fire one element indirect while the other goes direct, or if they are carrying two weapons and choose which one to fire?

sairence Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Those guns are one of the dumbest designs I have seen in a long time. Love it. How do we make the new missile launchers look really cool? We'll glue a lot of different ones together! And then we turn them into rifles!

Wraithwing Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Guys, I have high blood pressure, please, no more salt. I'm loving this release. The Brutalis is going right in my Wolves army, and as will the Heavy Intercessors, and the rest will probably form the basis of another Ultramarines army.

Yeah the won't ignite the main engine until they've cleared the tube. I don't see why the reaction has been as negative.

Blindhamster Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 So, the blood angels brutalis is fighting tau, wonder if Dante will be in the farsight book as a bonus third character? I really like the brutalis, like many others, my first thought on the desolation squad is that I hate them. I think the rocket rifles might have worked without the derpy belt feed and a more integrated look (kinda like the quake rocket launcher). As it is, like many others I’m thinking the hh style underslung rocket launcher on primaris models will look miles better. the lieutenant really is chef kiss though. Excited to see how many bits it has in there Spyros 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Knight Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 In fairness I think the models can easily be built without the belt. Just don't attach it and use some generic mkX backpacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minsc Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Desolators - First impression is "meh". They're just too much. I might learn to like them once I see them in the flesh though. Brutalis - "OK", it's a Primaris Ironclad Redemptor with claws. Pretty much what I expected. The Redemptor is probably my least favorite Dread in terms of design, but it's stilla Dread so it gets a pass. Primaris Lt - Nice with multi-kit but do we really need more Primaris Lt's? And Heavy Intercessors being in a box like this is nice seeing as most people are probably up to their ears in regular Intercessors by now. I'll probably get one Strike Force.

Kastor Krieg Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I can't believe that there's a release that has not-Devastators and I actively hate them and their comical nerfguns; that it has all I asked for - a melee Dreadnought which could've been anything like the Custodes Galatus dread or even, Emperor grant me, this: But we get a less-than-Furioso instead, a dread 95% identical to the existing Redemptor, but without a gun and with simplictic "claws". So very lazy from the design team. Disappointed. Instead, the most interesting model out of all of those is... the Primaris Lieutenant, an utter conversion dream. Wut.

Orange Knight Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I wasn't expecting two physically different missile launcher configurations. I'm assuming the big bulky one is the super-krak, and the more open ones are the indirect fire Launchers? And both versions come with the Frag missiles as a secondary fire.

lansalt Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 That sensor lens at the front seems to be where the barrel of a gun feed by the belt should be. What a mess of a design. "Desolation" must be about the mental state of the marines having to use those.
