Boom, boom, shake the room.

 

 

Keeping it vague about what we'll see next week. I'd guess LI again though.

In case anyone was wondering what Heresy Thursday has looked like recently.

[Captain Idaho]

Seems like the game is looking at a December release... finally. 

 

I can't wait.

The fact they only showed 1 on the image and that they didn't say plastic in the article makes me think this might be resin? I hope not but they also didn't drill out the barrel as much as on the baneblade, maybe because the resin would break if it gets too thin?

Looks nice, but are we getting less and less text and photos every week? If they dont release soon itll just be a picture of the model at this rate :D 

[Matcap86]

Looks great, gimme game.

Hard to say as most of the preproduction stuff is 3d printed or resin casts. The predators also had droopy barrels and I can't imagine them being resin on release.

Went back and had a look at some of the previous articles - the Spartan, Land Raider and Bikes / Speeders are all specifically mentioned in the article as being plastic. The Drop Pods don't mention whether they're plastic or resin in the article. I'd be with you that the omission of material would be an indicator of it being resin, but I have it in my heads the Drop Pods would be plastic...

 

I tried to look closely at the Stormhammer model to see if there were any clues, but the paint-job makes it very difficult to see anything.

The droppod article might not say they are plastic but they do talk about a Legiones Astartes Drop Pods box and as far as I know they only really talk about "boxes" when its a freely released plastic model. Resin models normally aren't available in stores, webstore only and as such don't talk about "boxes"

This time they didn't specifically say it would be an LI article like the last four times which makes me think it will be HH next week

I must confess that with the core of the game being plastic, I'm happy enough for exceptional units to be resin, as they're my special stuff anyway.

 

I like the idea of several large and dangerous special stuff being in the army. Sure, I got Legio Praesagius alongside my Ultramarines, but it's cool to have the option for centrepieces to be Legion/Solar Auxilia too.

“Approaching”

 

 

Either way, I’ll be happy when it’s here! The Solar Auxilia tanks look great and I’m interested in building an armoured force out of them.

God I love the stormhammer models so much (even if this isnt the old version with the excessive turrets). The lack of mentioning if its plastic in the article is a little worrying..but its also warcom so *shrug* 

 

I just.. I just want this game to be released already argh, 

[Spagunk]

My guess is: Pre-order Nov 18th and release on Dec 2nd.

In usual GW fashion, it's probably going to be big box + 2-4 separate kits to space out release schedule.

[Captain Idaho]

Just seems all these teased models should be released at release now. Otherwise they're teasing models that are being released alongside models not being released... for?

[Black Cohort]

I think they might release what has been revealed over 2 or 3 weeks, drop the core box and maybe the rhinos and SA flier week 1 then push the rest out over another week or 2.

[Captain Idaho]

Dad asked me what I want for Christmas so they might have good timing...

[Interrogator Stobz]

It's always good timing Captain. 

[MechaMan]

I miss the two twin turret version 

[Matrindur]

Confirmed to be 2 per box and plastic!

See WHC - how hard was that. Just put the material and box size in the article and save everyone time!

 

Unless they are using this as an 'engagement metric' on socials...

 

Am incredibly happy with the plastic support LI is getting to date. Well done GW.

[Matcap86]

Oooooh plastic also maybe means turret options. MAN, I am still so hyped for this game.

[sairence]

I want 40k rules for it back. :(

[Captain Idaho]

So what giant tanks can we expect for Ultramarines? Um I mean Astartes?

 

Mastodon incoming? Fingers crossed.
