Hopefully in 2024 we get the MKIV Tactical Squad updated to bring it in line with MKIII/MKVI. Not sure how they'd do the artificer armour for the cmd squad if it were just an upgrade sprue. painting.for.my.sanity 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if the colour plates from LI are an indicator they didn't really put much effort. Like a loincloth and a giant belt buckle. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinpact Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I'm not sure the epic scale miniatures are a good frame of reference, considering one of the figures is clearly the AoD box praetor. Still, that sounds about appropriate - the command squad retinue is supposed to be various line officers and veterans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xirix Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I doubt the Command Squad would just be an upgrade sprue, I feel like if that was the plan they would have worded it differently in the roadmap. Xenith and skylerboodie 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfTheLion Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 The MK III silhouette is clearly not an upgrade, given things like the tactical rock, which doesn't exist in the MK III kit. I'm thinking it's a resin model, and the plastic command squad is in MK VI armor.

You would think but the colour plate has no crazy trim just a mohawk and a big bronze buckle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarabando Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 an upgrade sprue would work as a command squad can be up to like what 9 guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forwards to the command squad, however I've done my usual thing of hoarding bits to make my own custom one, and sat on them for long enough (only 6 months this time...) that an official plastic version comes out...

Paturabo Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I'm surprised this image hasn't made its way to this thread yet. No loincloth but more clearly mk3. Matcap86, phandaal, HolyPestilience and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephaston Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Arguably Mk3 wouldn't have space for a loincloth, what with that thick crotch plate protecting his jeans-seed. That is IF it ends up being an upgrade sprue. Also it does kinda look like the helmet has a mohawk, but it might also just look like that to me.

Hfran Morkai Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Definitely feel it should be Khan next for the poor White Scars players. Although for personal reasons I want to see Russ and I hope it's with the spear (I know he wasn't a fan). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noserenda Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 They stealth discontinued a bunch of the upgrade kits when the website got revamped, possibly earlier? Maybe theyll fix the Grey slayers bolters lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corswain Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Maybe. The website is not great and some things are just missing from the Australian site (like Corax) so other versions might be seeing similar mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LameBeard Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 4 hours ago, SalamandersBro said: GW said all the Primarchs were going to get redone? Any idea which one is next? Lore-wise, isn’t Angron due a daemon treatment if Fulgrim got one? Also, I think he happens to be the oldest Primarch model, and possibly the smallest because the scale-creep train has no brakes? But it may be they don’t want resin daemon Angron competing with plastic daemon Angron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I've explained it a few times now, but Simon Egan told attendees at the last Heresy Open Day in 2019 what his future plans were. It's been a fairly open secret what's been planned for about 4/5 years now. Valrak also recently alleged that Angron is next up, which would tick another one off the list at least.
