Really GW, you're putting out unit and vehicle transfer sheets seperate from the boxes which they should have been in?

 

People always buy the legion specific ones anyhow. They often have legion specific tactical markings etc.

I don't think this means they will stop putting transfer sheets in the kits...

 

This is basically a reincarnation of the generic Space Marine transfer sheet that FW put out around 2010. But with more options and Heresy specific. All good things, IMO.

 

I would concede the point, however all the 40k space marine stuff comes with tactical markings and several different chapter markings. The 30k kits only come with SoH and IF markings, which is useless unless you collect those two factions, and no tactical markings at all. So why do we have to pay more to get a sheet that the 40k Marine kits get by default?

[Sky Potato]

It’s a shame these are in boxes of 10, not 20 like the tactical squads. I’m very interested in how these are going to be priced compared to the 20 man boxes.

The 40k one used to just have Ultramarines and the white tactical markings, only recently in the past couple months has it not sucked.

 

Besides that, most HH players are going to buy their Legion-specific transfer sheet. Just one of those is a full A4 sized sheet, like the infantry one here is.

Still double what it would be if a 40K release, gotta take what we can get.

My guess... [CAD]

 

MkIII are $90 for 20

Primaris assault marines $70 for 5

Primaris intercessors $75 for 10

 

MkVI assault marines... $80-90 for 10?

 

Halve the price for GBP

[Noserenda]

Good to see the Winter releases starting from the beginning of December, not the 22nd.

Also, a new generic transfer sheet.

 

Be still my beating heart, they're even sorted by armour mark with specific knee ones for mkIV and mkIII.

[Robbienw]

Fantastic, 3 boxes for me please!

[Cleon]

I can't imagine many people wouldn't prefer the split to be one all black 'vehicle and infantry' and one all white 'vehicle and infantry' - I can't foresee ever wanting both colours.

[Xenith]

That's insane, they even have offanim/chaplain/burning eyes/field police markings!

They did that with the old FW guard markings sheets I bought the black one only and regret it not getting both.

hurrah, we are at 2 for 5 on line troops.

 

It's weird the combat shield replaces the bolt pistol.

As a Blood Angels collector per your Bio, it means you could do some Devastation of Baal Chapters as a side project - using the black markings for Lamenters and the white for Flesh Tearers (for example).

 

The easiest way before this to get the full standard Codex Astartes Squad Markings in black was from the White Dwarf limited run of Tome Keepers transfers.

 

I just guess its weird that this is a Heresy transfer sheet, not a 40k sheet - there are a fair few legions who don't use what become the Codex markings. Regardless, I'll be getting a few. Hopefully, the smallest transfers fit on a MkIII vambrace.

There are Raven Guard units that have white armour on their arms and chapters like Star Phantoms tend to have a good amount of black on their vehicles.

[WrathOfTheLion]

There's also a lot of split paint schemes in 30k, such as stripes of black on Sons of Horus/traitor Emperor's Children, or stripes/segments of white on Loyalist Emperor's Children.

3 technically just 1 is a resin upgrade kit. I'm a bit torn on the combat shields. They seem backwards to me with the cut out on the wrong side snipping the hands and glueing it to the pistol shouldn't be a problem depending on the curve of the shield. I kinda prefer the older pointy buckler style ones so Im prolly gonna fire up blender and print some since I only have one from the last assualt mk 7 kit. lol

[Noserenda]

I dont think the cut out is on the wrong side, i suspect its there to stop the shield catching on the giant pauldrons of space marine power armour having had that issue a few times over the years fitting shields from other ranges as a centre boss grip. We would need more than one picture to confirm it but even looking at the one we have, imagine him bending his elbow up.

 

I imagine if you wanted  a pistol firing slot it would actually be in the middle of a shield like this, above the grip to stop the recoil messing with the shield too much, but you could just hold it over the rim i guess? You dont need two "hands" like with a full bolter id assume given how we typically see them wielded. 

You dont want to fight with a sword that close, especially a chainsword, that just an awful idea unless you are in a really tight spot :D

With some creativity we could run despoilers and breachers out of the assault marines box.

 

Pistols and chainswords  to the regular mkvi for despoilers. The heavier mkvi could then make breachers although that'd require printing :(

 

I'm glad the plastic pistols/ swords are coming but well overdue.

I'm actually looking to print dual volkite pistols for destroyers and then use the plastic arms for despoilers for at least one box. Zephon needs a retinue and I ain't waiting for GW to redo the destroyer kit.

I'm personally going to wait, as I have like 30 resin destroyers already from over the years, some MK IV and some MK III kitbashed from the despoiler kit, and don't need more in the near term. Although when they come out with a new kit, I won't be able to resist...

 

They're my favorite unit, so it's going to happen

That's the same price as the Invictor warsuit so that should be:

 

$85 Canadian and £42.50

[Marshal Loss]

Bleh delayed in Aus - hopefully next week. Will need quite a few boxes of these

[Wraith776]

Wonder what is going on with GW shipping that products are delayed in Aus all the time. Also if $70 USD holds up to $112 AUD they are too expensive for me... will have to wait for a discount box I think.
