Best of both worlds is getting the leviathan terminators for their cool and unique poses, then get another 5 from the mpk that follows for variations and options.

Yup, yup.

 

This is what I did with indomitus, I grabbed one each of the multi part kits that followed and mashed it all together.

My experience is that mixing ETB with MPK let’s you stretch both things further 

GW dribbles alternate poses. With the last couple of editions starters, the WD, the paint set, and the random powersword sarge ai was able to assemble 3 intercessor squads with no duplicates

Yes. Finally they're the hulking masses of doom compared to mortals they should have always been.

I'm excited for the terminators most of all from the Space Marine half of Leviathan, though I probably won't get paint on them till September.

Interesting to see him next to the space marine heroes captain there; I'd thought they might be a little closer in height, but these are proper chonky. Looks like eyeline should be about the same as gravis marines.

 

I'm planning on 3d printing taller legs, scaled against these guys, to get the height up on the classic blood angels assault terminators; looks like I might need to do the heroes as well! Useful to know that the shoulder pads are indeed the same size as before, so should be able to do straight arms swaps (e.g. with magnets) to give the new boys an assault termi loadout, or a heavy flamer.

[Large and Moving Torb]

Man, that profile look in the second shot really tells the story. Also, the new one has what looks like a slight tilt - maybe it's just the leg positioning - but to my eye it has more of a look like it's lumbering forward where the other two seem to have a more static pose. It's subtle but definitely there.

[Valkyrion]

Is the only space marine model that stands properly straight legged upright the one in the devastator squad box?

 

[Robbienw]

Blimey.  Even the Primaris Intercessor is a mini-marine next to him, these guys are huge.

I honestly think these are some of the best minis GW has ever made, regardless of them being push fit. I think given the number you will be able to take you could probably make a really nice little force quite cheaply using these with simple arm swaps between them.

 

Unless the multipart box is amazing (to be fair it could include close combat options I guess and at the very least chainfists) I can't see a need for me to get it beyond these guys which I have already seen being sold at £25 for a squad. There is a good chance the market will be flooded with them making it an ideal time to get a cheap Death Wing army.

[DemonGSides]

Most of my Terminators are still mostly unassembled, because I never really used them and moved on to other armies.

These new guys got me considering putting the old torso's on the new legs, but these guys are looking big enough, that may not cut it the way I was hoping.  I'll have to have a real think on it once I can get them together.

[Cleon]

It'll be interesting to see how the chainfist add on bits from the HH terminators fit/look on these termies. One to play about with I think.

[Khornestar]

I’d be very surprised if the terminators are sold for much less than 15% off the expected price of what the kit would cost on its own. For the “hot” items eBay prices are not particularly cheap, even when abundant. This is from US sellers, however. UK seems to be a fair bit cheaper, go figure.

 

Example:

 

Desolation squad, considered an unpopular unit, is at cheapest purchased for 18% off what it would cost compared to an equivalent unit (intercessors, hellblasters, etc.). “Only” 3% cheaper than your standard discount. Heavy intercessors slightly better.

 

Edit: I forgot about the price increase so it is slightly better than I thought.

 

We’ll see!

Desolation squad was/is unpopular for looks but extremely good competitively so lots of folks bought 3 squads. 

 

Personally I used that opportunity to get a lot of cheap intercessors and the new SGT. 

 

I think the termies will be in one of the starter boxes, and will be pretty affordable. 

[Xenith]

I just counted up my existing collection of unpainted termies and stopped at 59. I still want another unit of these bigguns to draft into my HH alpha legion army, though, once I scrub off all the cruxes. 

 

Question is, do I paint the squad from Leviathan as classic Blood Angels, or a successor? Flesh Tearers Termies always look amazing, but so would Angels Sanguine (red/black halved). 

[Interrogator Stobz]

You won't paint them too Brother.

yup…. You should be ashamed  , I think you’re spending waay too much time on the B&C and not at your hobby desk …

You're dangerously low on Terminators. 

[Arkhanist]

I also have... too many terminators unpainted. Problem is they've had rubbish rules and been kinda squat for a good while now.

 

I think they finally look like putting them on the table might be worthwhile, and the new scale really slaps. I'm just hoping I do get a Leviathan box so I can use it to scale new legs properly for a chunk of my old fellas.

 

Least I'm not short of various arms, I can almost certainly do a full squad of chainfists!

It's a trap.  If you go this route you will end up buying 50 more rescaled terminators.  Just paint what you have.  They are not all that different.

[Arkhanist]

A good full head height in difference. Adding new legs to old termis plus a bit of a waist should make a big improvement tho I think (digital mockup). obviously the new legs will need additional bling too.

 

[Flaherty]

Has anyone seen a shot comparing these new terminators to the recently updated Chaos Terminators?

[Khornestar]

Man the leg swap looks swell.

Well, that depends how many painted Terminators he has too....
