Valkyrion Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I think @Xanthous has hit me on the head with the truth hammer. So, the Sky-Hunter Phalanx is a formation consisting of detachments, which in turn consist of units. The blood angels player would therefore need to issue 5 orders to that formation, one for each detachment. We're gonna need lots of tokens....

EditedDruid Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 This pretty much solidifies preorder announcement being this Sunday for me. Them gathering all the articles in one place and now this? If it isn't this Sunday then it's going to be the last straw for some people.

Burni Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 (edited) That is some tiny lightning! Good to see some other legions - they look good.

vadersson Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 My understanding is that Sunday is a preview of the pre-order. Saturday after is actual pre-order, and than 2 more weeks till release. Is that right? It seems to work with rumors of preorder the 18th and release the 2nd. tinpact, 01RTB01, Matcap86 and 1 other 2 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SalamandersBro Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 I think I'll do ultra marines and be basic. After reading the unremembered empire, i became a fan. MithrilForge, vadersson, Captain Idaho and 1 other 2 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Praetorian of Inwit Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 The models look so sweet. Especially in VIIth Legion colours of course. Reminds me of Micro Machines.

Same here, christmas budget has been allocated and there's no space for LI due to not knowing whether it would exist outside of the GW offices at that time. I'll see next year, if it's available indeed but also, only if it's fully/mostly available at independent retailers. I'm not going to go through that new site of theirs to order directly from them. Having said that, seeing those LI tanks in a proper color scheme, makes me wonder whether I shouldn't go with that rather than my marine legions in tiny scale. They look so good.

Redcomet Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Very cool to see them in colors. Not a game I will rush to pick up, but I will be painting some big smol tanks for fun MithrilForge and MegaVolt87 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always try and support a local gaming store - although I know sometimes they miss out on quantity of new releases, if you try and get upon release. I try and alternate between a local FLGS to support them, but also run some cash through the till of my local GW stores to both support the local and keep them sweet, particularly as I usually want the mini of the month and the coin. Anything potentially limited, the much more organised LGS's get my vote as they're more likely to get the stock than my local tiny GW store. 8 hours ago, Interrogator Stobz said: 100%.

They do look a lot better in other colours, though I think the BA still look the best we've seen so far. I guess this confirms that the new sicaran omega will have re-oriented omega destroyers like the LI model, as opposed to the vertical FW one. Strange choice, I wonder if they struggle dto convert it to plastic. The LI one seems to omit the coils and cables on the main turret Interrogator Stobz and Pacific81 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Horizontal looks way better. I held our on buying the FW one in hope, looks positive for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matcap86 Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Seeing the stuff that the team painted I'm expecting the starter and wave 1 to launch pretty close together or even simultaneous. The Kratos and Baneblades probably wouldn't have been included otherwise. Xanthous 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but the great unknown is "what's about the boxes relatives to the starter set?", I mean: many things should be available quickly at/around the starting point. For example: infantry SM box, infantry SA box, light tanks boxes (SM/SA which are in the starter) ... None have been revealed yet.

Noserenda Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Had White dwarf through and theres an article on collecting/painting forces and even a focus on the staff collections in the back. Really good to see a variety of legions and skill levels on display, shows how easy painting epic is :D Cant be long now! :P Matcap86 and Pacific81 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
