Lord Marshal Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) Well, well, well... Quote This resin upgrade kit will be released by Forge World soon. And don’t worry, more plastic infantry is in production – the Age of Darkness isn’t just about tanks!

Marshal Reinhard Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Bolter and chainsword. And a sexy beak on the packaging. Temptation. System Sound, Lork and Raziel-TX 2 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doobles57 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Nice parts, like the axe. But fully expected this to be a plastic upgrade sprue - ala the special and heavy weapons - rather than a resin kit. Means adding probably £50 on top of a 20 man MKVI box to kit them all out which sucks. Really don't understand the decision. stretch_135, Starlight_Wolf, WARMASTER_ and 16 others 5 14 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selnik Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Finally! Good to see that they aren't just for MKVIs. Though I still have my fingers crossed for some chainaxes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burni Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Good to see but they are resin, so I think I'll be skipping them. I guess they could be a resin stop gap or maybe plastic despoilers aren't going to be beakies. skylerboodie, MithrilForge, Master Commander Ajax and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hfran Morkai Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Unexpected that they're resin, that's a little rough. But the confirmation of other plastic infantry is a brilliant sign! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephaston Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Wow that took a while. They also don't seem to be of the same design as Mk6 arms, and look more like Mk2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matcap86 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) So clear omission of MKII marines on that upgrade set. It says FW MK V and Citadel MK III, IV and VI marines. Seems likely MKII will be the next infantry release. Edit, and while sure these could technically fit MKIII's; style wise they aren't even close. *Grumble Edit 2: yeah the more I look at this set the more annoyed I get. 5 almost identical sets of arms, to put on the 5 variations of bodies we got for the mk VI. I'm better off raiding old tactical and assault squad kits to get these pieces. This one is a stinker for me.

Ayatollah_of_Rock_n_Rolla Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 But they're not gonna just slap resin jump packs on this set and call it "Assault Squad Upgrade Set", right? We're still getting proper Assault Squads with more "assault" poses, right? Right? derLumpi 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're still getting proper Assault Squads with more "assault" poses, right? Right? Honestly that's why I think these are in resin. The expectation might be that the people who really want full plastic Despoilers will just leave the jump packs off an Assault Marine kit. Whereas if you're somebody with, say, 40 AoD box Marines who really doesn't want to buy the Assault Marine kit, they can buy these resin Despoiler Arms they might not expect to sell thousands of.

ShadowCore67 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 I'm sorry but what type of tone deaf decision was it to make these resin? The special/heavy weapons are plastic. This makes zero sense.

lansalt Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Expensive resin for not even a full squad, and ugly design again breaking the previously stablished aesthetics (they don't even match the jetbike chainswords). Terrible kit in my opinion. I wonder if we will ever see a real plastic assault squad or we will get a set of 5 resin jump packs...

Cyrox Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Excellent, and about time. My only real gripe is they aren't plastic, oh well. The last bit about plastic infantry though.... MkII please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casual Heresy Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Finally having Despoiler upgrades is great but a resin kit with only enough for 5 plus a couple of special weapons is disappointing. But at least we're starting to get some not vehicles! The confirmation that more plastic infantry is coming is nice at least. The fact they're hinting now could mean a reveal is closer than we expected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
