Matrindur Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) All new Solar Auxilia kits: Storm Section can also be build with axes: Interesting how they copied the resin SA models for Legions Imperialis (best seen in the command squad and tactical command which is basically 1:1) but then change it completely for the plastic release Edited January 19 by Matrindur roryokane, Brother Lunkhead, phandaal and 3 others 4 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Farson Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Still a few more bits to be revealed I'd imagine. A plastic legate seems extremely likely plus there's the light sentinel which has been teased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waaagh? Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) The article mentions twice that the rules for all of this stuff is in Liber Imperium........Guess they forgot the Sentinel is new. Also the excellent news that this stuff is specifically for Heresy with no 40k rules coming.

WrathOfTheLion Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 This release is fantastic. Definitely a strong showing for Solar Auxilia. I'm very much looking forward to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OttoVonAwesome Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) Hah I knew they'd have to cover the chains on the backpack. These are great though look at the lasguns still skinny. I hope the rotor cannon and axe options aren't resin upgrades but you know. Edited January 19 by OttoVonAwesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrathOfTheLion Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Reading the article for it, it sounds like the Veletaris will have options for the axe in that kit, but we'll have to see the sprues to really be sure. They didn't provide a picture with the axe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astartes Consul Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Brilliant range IMO. Updated nicely while staying firmly in the established aesthetic. Love how all in they’ve gone on the tanks. roryokane and Tymell 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Rohr Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 So this means the second wave will be: -Charonites -Light Walkers -Rapiers -Artillery Tank I don’t think the Tactical Command Section is the full offering, I think it’s going to be like the Age of Darkness Contemptor, where a box with the Legate Commander and more ornate command squad members will release later.

Joe Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Worth noting that the light walkers name is the Hermes; it's mentioned in Legions Imperialis. skylerboodie, roryokane and N1SB 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Rohr Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) Oh, I forgot the Flamer/Rotor Cannon Veletarii (and or Auxiliaries if their Legions Imperialis rules are correct) and Aurox. I find it odd they designed new Walkers but relegated the Carnodon to Legends, when a smaller tank would let your armored company lists have some hull variety. Personally I hope the list continues to grow and eventually we get an entire Liber that covers everything from Levies through mainline Army to Elite Solar Auxilia and brings back the spirit of the 3.5ed Imperial Guard Codex and Imperial Armor Books. How sick would Grav-Chute Veletarii look? Edited January 19 by Marshal Rohr MoriyaSchism 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aa.logan Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Genuinely surprised by the new Leman Russ kits, I’m far out of the loop, evidently but they’re *gorgeous*- it’s going to be hard not to buy squads of each variant but absolutely impossible not to pick up at least one to be a command tank. Does the flamer Malcador exist in LI? I’d be inclined to wait for that to come out before buying the bigger tanks though.

arnesh88 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 It’s a good start to their plastic line. This at least covers some of the more common and spammable units of the army. Hopefully this will give us more variety of forces on the table. Auxilia needed this badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine the Valdor and Infernus will come out in about the same time frame as the Typhon/Cerberus i.e. a year on from the initial release. We should all be extremely excited by the Cerastus Knights because I would be a lot of money that means we are getting a new plastic Baneblade and a plastic Stormhammer. skylerboodie, roryokane, aa.logan and 1 other 1 2 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokugawa Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 To me these read as "new skins for 40K IG". Would close topped basilisk be in the next wave? sairence, N1SB, Dezron and 5 others 6 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) As the resident "plastic remake hater" I think they did pretty good. Nice job, designers!

MARK0SIAN Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 It’s a much wider refresh than I was expecting and it’s great. I was only expecting the infantry squads and the walker. I didn’t think they’d do a new Russ and certainly not the Malcador so very pleasantly surprised. roryokane, Dezron and Pork Chop Express 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burni Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 For me the Heresy plastics are consistently the best things coming out of the GW factory. Long may it continue. These all look great and as others have pointed out it won’t take many more kits to box off most of the range. I hope we’ll see some of the super heavies down the road. Now they just need to hurry up with expanding the Legion infantry options. 01RTB01 and Antarius 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xirix Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) Looking good, I'm quite excited to see how much the box set will be. Also gotta love the tradition of the livestream presenters not knowing how some things are pronounced, I have my doubts that Dracosan is pronounced Dracosian, also boo for referring to the turret options as "Twin" weapons... this is HH, it's Twin-Linked, get it right, presenters. :P (Or rather, Gravis in a lot of instances) Edited January 19 by Xirix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irongert Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) They are really good looing models. I'm surprised at how well they managed to retain their looks in plastic. Thankfully I have too many projects ongoing to be tempted by them :D . Maybe in a year or two Edited January 19 by Irongert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Love these. The infantry have come across to plastic really well, there’s obviously some changes but I think they’ve kept the feel for sure. And the tanks are fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matcap86 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Ooooooh this is a fantastic rerelease. Love the tanks in plastic (and with hopefully a pricedrop). The starter armybox is more expansive than I thought and the new sentinel looks a lot better in larger scale than in the tiny LI scale (and I liked it there). The lasrifle sections are okay, I do miss some of the detail they used to have, with the padding in the arms and legs which has now become smoother and sleeker. The big question is now do I keep the resin lasrifle sections I already have or are they mixable with the new plastics scale wise. A few design quirks are no big issue but I do want them to be similarly proportioned. Only downgrade IMHO is the veletaris section. The helmets seem off to me compared to the old ones, but can't quite put my finger on it. Aarik and Arendious 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Oh cool, since I have no intention to ever do 30k armies ….now I can finally make my quasi - “brotherhood of steel” 40K Guard army , in plastic SvenIronhand, tinpact, N1SB and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
