Plastic Legion Glaive?

[Fallen11]

Actually glaive and fellblade don't have same turrets. Similar, yes, same, no. You can't even put fellblade gun inside glaive gun port withouth triming it a bit.

Considering that Typhon and Cerberus are more similar kits, and are different SKU, I highly doubt it this will be 2 in 1 kit.

Update: Falchion now in the same Sold Out category and now both patterns of Vindicator are gone completely.

We can hope. Maybe it will be released over the summer on the 1 year anniversary of the new HH launch, or there abouts?

[MegaVolt87]

Sooner than that I would wager. Still a lot of sicaran variants, speeders, deredeo, mechanicum tanks, 30k knights, auxillia/ Imperial army tanks etc. Anything thats a tank or vehicle sub type is going to be plastic eventually, FW is moving back to its roots as a character model, special infantry variants and mega units like titans product range. This will also prop up firstborn in 40k, GW won't miss that cross sell opportunity to 40k SM + CSM players.

and at the same time, the baneblade is one kit and imperial knights can build so many things out of 2 boxes

These were all originally sold as separate, unique kits though, and later recombined into single larger multi option sets.

and how many people now have those kits filled with magnets? 

 

if GW sells a base superheavy on one sprue and separate gun/turret kits then they can box up all the different variants so people will buy 3 tanks rather than one and magnetizing it.

Lord of wars, especially the super heavies are low volume sellers. Its better for their product list management to multi box these than juggling multiple SKU's. LGS hate stocking big shelf space takers like these, better to multibox. Could be separate as webstore exclusive, but LGS would be upset at another HH thing they can't sell.

I agree that would be sensible but for whatever reason it’s not the approach they’ve taken with heresy, up to now. You get a box with one of the sprues in it. If that sprue makes multiple predator options, cool, but if it makes one Sicaran then that’s all you get.
 

The vindicator gives you both options, interestingly. I expect that’s an issue of sprue space rather than a change of philosophy, but we’ll see.

I think for the LoW releases there are two things going on.

1. Maximise initial sales. Sell 2 kits when the person might just want one, rebox later or withdraw and sell a separate sprue direct sales. Also, we dont yet know what the longterm support of Heresy will be, a lot of AoS and 40K stuff has gone direct only, so not in GW stores and 3rd party pay higher trade price (meaning less discount)

 

2. The Typhon is 5 large sprues worth of plastic. Pretty sure thats the max capacity of that size box, so it would need the next size up box to fit.... the extra half sprue for the alternate Cerberus weapon.

The pred and scorpious share the same size box (i think) so likley the Vinidicator will too, and have enough space for both weapon sprues.

[Mandragola]

The vindicator might just need two sprues worth of parts. You get a whole new top and sides that are unique, whereas the guns themselves aren't that big. It probably just ends up that the parts for the guns share a sprue, or are spread across two of them. On the other hand, you won't have a sponson sprue in there, obviously. So a vindicator will only share the base hull sprue (complete with awkward-to-fit floor) and accessory sprue with the rhino or predator.

If the Fellblade were to be released in plastic, I would be placing an order for it.  Been wanting one for a long time, but could never justify the resin price, especially each time it goes up.

 

I'm waiting patiently with a bit of hope.

[Cleon]

If they do the Legion superheavies then I have to finally decide which one I actually want... (who am I kidding, it's which one I want ... first).

As of this morning the following have disappeared completely from the webstore;

 

• Legion Fellblade
• Legion Glaive
• Legion Falchion
• Legion Mastodon
• Deimos Pattern Damocles Command Rhino

[Xirix]

The Arquitors too. All three types.

[Jolemai]

 to all that, especially the Mastodon.

Plastic Mastodon would be incredible.

[Valkyrion]

I asked on here a few weeks ago about what's involved in upscaling the AT titans to 40k scale, and it would take something like 18 sprues to do.

I would imagine the Mastodon be at the upper limit of what's achievable in plastic currently. It's not massively wider than a fellblade, but it's longer and taller by a not insignificant amount. Might we be looking at our first £200+ plastic kit?

[Noserenda]

I wouldnt think £200+ the Mastadon is broadly comparable to some of the big terrain pieces, though they were made in the cheaper Chinese factories so a bit more, but not £200

[Misterduch]

Well.....:cuss:
