Uhg, now I want to sell all my old Terminators, but who would buy them with these coming?

[Marshal Reinhard]

No surprises here. 

[Lemondish]

I know it was expected, but the molded shoulder pads is still a bummer. They've never been particularly difficult to remove with a knife and clippers, but it's still extra steps and I'm already annoyed about how few Terminator pauldrons come in the Deathwatch upgrade kits.

 

I may have to forgo adding these guys to the long vigil and instead add them to a vanilla marine project.

 

I'm thinking these would look great as Blood Ravens...

[Tokugawa]

The full rectangle shape sprue layout hints the future box retail version, which possibly include one additional spure containing missile and chainfist bits. 

[Kallas]

Well, just gonna wait til the MPK. Not gonna bother with restrictive push fits.

[Borbarad]

Dear GW, snap fit is a bug not a feature.

Why... Do they have molded pads..?

 

Its easilly fixable, but why??

[Doobles57]

Molded shoulder pad is a shame, but it's not a surprise. I love these more and more every time I look at them.

 

One thing that worries me is that this kit feels very detailed and in more parts than I expected from a push-fit, launch kit. I know everyone expects a full, multipart kit later down the line (and so do I), but seeing these sprues does introduce a small element of doubt around that.

Because these are just the basic push fit ones that'll likely come with the starters ala the assault Intercessors. They probably won't be molded once the multipart kit comes out.

[LostTemplar]

If I hadn't seen the new terminator artwork, I would question if multipart ones would exist. But having seen it I do hope the multipart ones do not have molded pads, and, at the same time, also have the pads look identical to these, crux-terminatus wise.

 

Sometimes some detail is changed in translation

It’s definitely a concern after the Outriders, Necron warriors, Ork boys etc. hopefully with them missing options and being the poster boys of the edition, we’ll see a MPK as well.

 

But yeah, GW now sees the push fit kits of sufficient detail and quality that they’ll skip MPK versions sometimes.

I am sure the MPK will follow. There is no way GW would miss out on the opportunity to sell the heavy flamer and CML, not to mention the chapter-specific shoulder pads that will surely follow.

[Marshal Reinhard]

MPK is obviously coming. This is terminators after all.

[Xanthous]

Stupid question - what's the issue with molded shoulder pads?

You have to cut them to be able to fit on various chapter specific ones or ones with adornments

Can't be replaced with chapter specific shoulder pads. Or at least not without some work with knife/clippers/file.

 

GW make some questionable decisions sometime but I really can't see them not making a full MPK for the new Termies with the missing weapons and separate shoulder pads, etc.

I expect we'll see these guys again in something like the Command Edition starters set or something like that though.

People often like them blank, pr so they can swap them for chapter specific pads or newt 3D printed PADs. Also some feel that the Crux Termanatius would bot be in 30k, and if they want to use them for Siege era termies, they have to cut the Crux off. 

[Matcap86]

Gotta say: I like that they redesigned the classics, but these feel far to big for me now I see them compared to primaris marines. These will tower over Custodians which feels weird. 

 

For me the ideal marine scaling was what they did with the Horus Heresy/Chaos marines rescale compared to other ranges in 40k. Might be a question of seeing them in the hand, but this made me a bit less enthused. 

[redmapa]

I like them, these ETB minis may be less customizable but they are easier to collect because some don't like them or they will be in other  boxes and that means it's gonna be easy to get a 10 man squad and then just wait for the MPK.

The terminator armor looks perfectly scaled to primaris marines as seen in the latest article. I can see the same physique fitting perfectly in both armors.

 

Are custodes so short that primaris marine tower over them? If not I don't see that being the case here either.

[Xirix]

I see the terrain is connected to the feet, lame. Not too hard to remove I'm sure, GW's fascination with tactical rocks for normal squads these days, I swear...

[Robbienw]

Shoulder pads not separate is massive step back.  Regressive.  I disapprove.

I wouldn’t worry too much, GW have made way to big a deal about terminators coming back to just have a push fit versions, they’re the face of 10th edition with dedicated studio interviews about them + the Heavy Metal team have painted up a number in different chapters etc which only ever heralds an important release 

 

We’ll get a MP kit and either an upgrade sprue for CC or an additional box 

 

This is pure speculation now…. I can also see DA getting a Terminator upgrade kit or even a dedicated kit in spring for DW

It was bound to happen they’re the push fit starter box minis it’s always been the same it’s nothing new, The MP kit will have the options

Patently false. Name me a starter set with mono pose push fit models that had sepperate shoulder pads. I'll be waiting.
