Warhammer 40000 Echoes of the Warp

[Blindhamster]

I don’t much care so long as they have better proportions and look good.

 

im more interested in what the veteran unit will be like personally, but that’s because I’ve always preferred veteran marines to terminators

[Nephaston]

All it really needs is flared knees. Boom, it's primaris.

[Hfran Morkai]

Colour me intrigued.

 

I do like the Indomitus (though prefer Tartaros) and have a  box of Wolf Guard, normal Indomitus and the old FW SW torsos and was planning on another couple of normal boxes to spread all that Wolf detailing so I'm interested here in either cross compatibility or people clearing out boxes of the old ones.

Starting to feel like I'm in the minority wanting these to be Primaris marines in Gravis/Indomitus pattern TDA mash up.

Gravis is so silly looking.  Please don't primaris TDA unless it's keyword.  Aside from the basic mkX infantry models, primaris models are... not the best representation of 40k...  

 

Grim dark... but we're shiny and new... oh, and we floating.

There's some nice primaris terminator fan art out there that i wouldnt mind having in model form. 

 

Thats not what this is.

 

As long as these fix th arms outta ears syndrome and are of sufficient height, they should stick a safe landing.

 

There's other improvements that could be made, one of the most notable being the storm bolter design

The teaser image looks pretty close from what we can see.

Having looked again you’re right, Fingers crossed

Slightly updated design. You don't have to go crazy but minor changes is good.

 

Better posing. More dynamic, less squatty potty.

 

I think if the designs were updated like how they updated the new MKVI heresy tactics that would be great, small but meaningful updates 

 

Definitely! The SM heroes + Space Hulk BA Terminators really show what can be done with the designs 

 

I’m also hoping when we inevitably get the multi part kit a few months after the box they’re still somewhat more dynamic 

[Blindhamster]

The best thing about the hh marines was the swords imo. Lol

True. But to be fair, that's because having a consistent colour scheme for a product is important to market that product without confusing newcomers.

Exactly this. Really tired of the constant bleating about this here and elsewhere - it's purely a marketing thing, paint your models the way you want them.

[Aramis K]

I'm still pondering the title and the 'nid.

 

Space Hulk means genestealers to me, and that doesn't look like one. A warrior, perhaps the rumoured Shrike leader.

 

As for the title, 'Echoes' kinda reminds me of the space Hulk auspex ping markers, like radar. But probably not. Maybe for fleet being sensed.

Perhaps it's a reference to a new Leviathan fleet appearing again, an echo of the last. 

 

But 'From the Warp' - I guess that has to mean a Space Hulk. Hive fleets don't come from the warps do they?

 

Longshot guess - 40k boarding actions battle box to tie in with Space Marine 2 game launch.

 

Or kill-team 'elites' phase again, with super powerful teams.

While I at one point adored the SH termies, the scale adjustment hit them hard... and has been pointed out in this thread even the SM heroes termies leave a lot to be desired. 

 

Theyll need to do better

[davextreme]

No reason it can’t be 40K and Space Hulk. Not necessarily at the same time, but they use the Assault Intercessor sculpts in the Fire Team game, for example. )(Though they’d probably want to be push fit for that purpose.)

I agree they leave i lot to be desired in anatomically but I think they’re a great example in dynamic movement

IMO, the SH Termies dynamic posing was not such a great idea for a game where facing is a key factor..

 

Hoping that these new Indomitus take some design cues from the Heroes 2 Series (separate storm bolter barrels, frex).

Whilst it is tempting to think this might be Space Hulk, i think it is more likely it is new Terminators and Tyranids for the 10th edition.

 

Rescaled terminators are probably one of the most sought after potential releases so it would seem odd to release them via a fringe off-shoot game.

 

I feel like it is more likely that the main 40k game gets them first (via the starter set and then a boxed set for a 3 or 5 man squad), and then a new Space Hulk comes out after with some chapter specific models/characters included.

Ha.... Knowing GW, After the initial FOMO Boxset which most of us will miss out on ...10th Ed will have New Terminators in "boxsets of 2 models" for $50.00  KaChing...$$$$$.

Just looking at the map, Western Galactic Fringe to be exact,  and  theres a lot of Imperial Worlds from the Macharian and Sabbat Crusades but not many planets really famous in terms of core 40k narrative lore

 

So is the setting the Nids possibly threatening Terra or a place for Nids to arrive but not pose a threat or the Nids become a problem for chaos too?

Maybe 10th could be start of 4th Tyrannic war. 

[Urauloth]

No reason they can't invent new important planets, I don't think we'd ever heard of Vigilus before the campaign books about it. Pretty sure Krieg is out that way somewhere though? Maybe it's further spinward than I'm remembering. The seventh Blackstone is on the Western fringe, for definite.

 

As for Tyranids being a bigger problem for Chaos, well, the Lanaah Rifts are on the Western Fringe, and presumably so is the Silent Forge, so there's potential there if GW remembers those things exist.

Apparently GW leaked the next video on Facebook:

Good catch! That very much look likes a classic Indomitus Terminator

[spessmarine]

I like terminators, but gotta say, I feel Cataphractii really encapsulate the vibe I expect better. Maybe a re-sculpt will provide a big glow-up.
