Brother_Angelus Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Well, we knew it was coming, it's nice to have more options and tick another item off the list. I guess the only question left is if the Ceberus and Thyphon are a dual kit or separate boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astartes Consul Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 It’s nice. As expected. That’s all the Spartan, Land Raider and Rhino chassis vehicles (other than the Vindicator) in plastic now. So maybe there will be some more plastic infantry soon… Was hoping for more tbh. But then LVO doesn’t have a great track record for Heresy announcements. Only ever a single model / unit I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine seperate boxes, quite a bit of the sprues need to be swapped out and I think a combo box would be prohibitively expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although a lot of the kits FW quietly discontinued have now come back in plastic, they are all ones with Core rules. So I think we’ll have to see what is coming in terms of rules supplements / campaign books. Brother Borgia 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShibeKing Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I thought I'd hate this like the Typhon, but I've grown really fond of Lascannons. So I can imagine angrier Lascannons being right up my alley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
painting.for.my.sanity Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 It's very pretty, but I'm a bit sad we just saw this rather than something we were less sure was coming. quasistellar, darkhorse0607 and Master Commander Ajax 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01RTB01 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Does mean something totally new next Thursday. Cerberus looks decent but surely some infantry at this point up next? I'd take Proteus speeders or javelin if it has to be vehicles again though. sarabando 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hint in this weeks HH Thursday post plus the silhouette shown at New Year almost guarantee it's the chaos assassin next week. Still something new though!

Cyrox Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I like it, and I may have to get this rather than the Typhon now I've seen it. Burni 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleon Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I know it's probably a game balance thing or to re-use the weapon option sprue, but having a dedicated Anti tank variant of the Spartan and dropping the sponson down from a quad lascannon to a single gun looks pretty goofy to me. I may end up getting this anyway if my (intended to be small) Emperors Children force feels like it needs a cool centrepiece tank, but I'd be more excited about it if it at least kept the twinlascannon of the normal Land Raider sprue as is I'd have to not use the lascannons, it makes more sense it has small sponsons if they are defensive weapons.

m_r_parker Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Well, this was the other Spartan-chassis variant left, I think we all knew this was coming. Would have been cool to see something that we weren't expecting, much like the Javelins that were shown off a few days ago. Why not switch these two around; Cerberus for regular Thursday updates, Jetbikes for LVO. darkhorse0607 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a new thing for the plastic kit - the old FW one was like this too - defo a balance thing. Cleon 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Marshal Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I'm surprised they showed off the Jetbikes at Heresy Thursday and held the Cerberus back for LVO. The former were definitely a lot more hyped up, whereas the Cerberus is definitely nice but we already knew about the Typhon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Looks great, I think you can take two at 3k I want one to solve superheavy problems. Edited January 28, 2023 by Xenith double post Majkhel 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have something to do with how much time they were allotted to cover it. They only spent like 5 minutes or less on the HH kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
