Cheaper access is always a good thing. With regards the upscaled mkiii they say they're compatible with existing weapon kits but the plasma cannon arms are blatantly mkvi. I'd hope we see mkIII heavy weapon arms as part of the mkIII sprues but fear they expect us to use the mkvi arms from the weapon packs? I don't think we'll see new heavy weapon packs anytime soon. The arms are actually not technically mark 6 they aren't really mark anything the servos on the elbows and what not they were designed to fit in on either and I'm sure they intend it to just be multipurpose like the Despoiler kit. They even copied the poses so there are no fit issues. The heavy weapons I don't really mind they look like servo assist like they are designed for carrying big guns but it's def wierd with the Despoilers but I wouldn't be surprised if despoilers make it into plastic kits eventually given the backlash they got from that one. That one still cracks me up. Best troop choice for half the legions and actually good this edition and GW is like here is a resin set for 5 guys. lol WARMASTER_ and skylerboodie 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they going to do a whole box of power weapons? I doubt it. I kinda agree on the heavy weapons. I'm more bummed out that they don't have backpack cables and ammo belts anymore, rather than worrying about the arms. It'll be interesting to see how they look once together. skylerboodie 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, I'll simply use the arms we have in the weapons pack. The plasma cannons are ready, just need to know. I don't mind either way but if I know I could get the weapons + arms painted in advance.

MegaVolt87 Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 SM dev squad has weapon feeds and backpacks. That would be a lot of sprues for the x20 gun HW boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong but I think the non shoulder mounted heavy weapons fit the regular arms. I'm building BA so I don't actually have any heavies yet if someone could chime in that would be helpful. 5 hours ago, WrathOfTheLion said: I kind of miss the ammo belts and cables, but then I remember heat bending that stuff, so I kind of don't Electric tea kettle made that easy. 5 hours ago, JayJapanB said: I'd just setup pins before bending it.

I used to have a set of the original underslung autocannons. The belts add a lot. I understand why they got rid, doesn't mean they're not missed.

TrawlingCleaner Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 =][= We've gotten quite far off topic here folks, we've also not heard anything more from GW about this either so I'll close this for now (although sods law states they'll release info very shortly) .

Like less options for MK III (No bayonets, no power swords...not at sight or mentioned at least. That's specially true in the case of bayonets and chain bayonets) and two boxes of Deredeos, like in the case of Leviathans. You need to buy two one of each to have all the unit's options. Hummm... The rest, is fine. Will see next weekend, anyway. Edited October 8, 2023 by AGRAMAR Better explained and a pic Cruor Vault 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agramar_The_Luna_Wolf Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 (edited) By the way, the "new" supplement gathers all exemplary battles and units. Except for Ascended Fulgrim rules and extras, is the same material in the previous PDFs...but put together in one book. Nice. I don't expect changes in the units or any new things( Except for Fulgrim and EC, of course) Edited October 8, 2023 by AGRAMAR Pic added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrathOfTheLion Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 They're also releasing the standard kits at the same time though, so not too surprising the bundle is limited. Corswain, LSM and Halandaar 1 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naryn Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Excited about the new Mark 3, but how excited will depend on what the sprues look like and if there are options on there that they're keeping hidden for some reason. I've never been in love with the Deredeo, so that doesn't move me much. Overall a good release to pick up in 6 months or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noserenda Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Yeah better to think the box is a nice bonus splash release than bemoan its lack, i was kinda expecting it to come out alongside this year battleforces like the Titanicus ones did.

Are you sure? Power swords and lighting claws were brieftly mentioned but nothing about bayonets. And no model in any of the previews were equiped with. I don't know. I hope they come with those options, because I really like and use them. But... I have a bad feeling about this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is another it'll be for the AA missiles and volkite/ las weapons later down the line. Mostwanted 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Valorion Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 I think for the other Deredeo Weapons you need Forgeworld. They updated the store entries for the weapons with new paint jobs. Xirix 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xirix Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 It would be absolutely stupid if they don't do the rest in plastic, especially considering the box set isn't just called "Deredeo Dreadnought" it's got a subtitle, there will be a second box set with the other weapons, practically guaranteed.
