Chapter Master Valrak Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Been talking about this for a while now, apparently coming out Summer time. Starting to hear whispers of the contents, apparently Death Company themed. - New Upgrade Sprue - Jump Assault Intercessors (Not sure how many) - Brutalis Dreadnought - New Lemartes Model Of course this is just part of the refresh, bunch of new characters and units coming. For anyone interested, made a video on it and other stuff Spoiler VanDutch, Karhedron, Zoatibix and 12 others 11 1 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing with releases, most of it does get pushed back we just don't know, hopefully it is out this year. For me, it's not a matter of if now, it's just a matter of when. It will be awesome when it hits :) Noserenda, Dark Shepherd, Marshal Rohr and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this soft confirm that Death Company Marines/Intercessors will from now on be achieved via the upgrade sprue and the old dedicated kit will be retired?

Halandaar Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) So it's a "Battleforce" with a single new model, much like the recently announced Orks and Custodes ones, rather than an "Army Set" with a Codex and multitude of new models like the Kroot or Darkoath boxes. Works for me because that, combined with this particular combo of models, makes it an easy skip. Will pick Lemartes up some time in the future.

ChapterMasterGodfrey Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Kroot Box and Deathwing box were both £135. If this box is the following, I think it sounds like a great box: Limited Ed. Codex: £20 Upgrade sprue x 2: £42 Lemartes (going off dante price): £27.50 Jump Pack Intercessors x2: £70 Brutalis: £47.50 Total £207 for £135 sounds great. All specualtion of course but just my preminary thoughts. Dark Shepherd and DemonGSides 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems very likely to me that the upgrade will have DC centric parts while anything sanguinary guard gets its own kit, mirroring the DA upgrade with its DW-Terminator parts and DW-knights being standalone. skylerboodie, Dark Shepherd and Karhedron 1 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not confirm, but it certainly seems increasingly likely. If DC lose their access to special melee weapons and pistols, I hope they will get a big price drop as they will be weaker than VanVets if the majority of the squad are just stuck with bolt pistol and chainsword. Van Vets get S5 and special pistols or a Storm Shield. Without wargear, DC are significantly weaker and a 6+++ does not compensate for that.

Yeah I agree coupleed with the fact DC (all flavours) got a nerf on the number of attacks they output. Chainsword guys doing 6 attacks each would be a good start.

DemonGSides Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 That's how I'm modelling my current Brutalis. Tore out the Sarcophagus from the body of an Old naught and figuring out how best to integrate it into the brutalis body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wispy Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) Using their upgrade sprue to cover a lot of the Death Company eccentrics seems like the way to go. To be honest, 99% of the classic specialized Blood Angel kits are pretty well represented in terms of vibes. The Gladiator Reaper is very much an analogue for the Baal Predator in the same way the Brutalis is an analogue for a Furioso. If the upgrade sprue managed to fit a magna grapple and flamer sponsons/flamestorm cannon in it, I'd be pretty satisfied as a BA collector. The only clear cut "this needs a new kit ASAP" is Sanguinary Guard. Edited March 11 by Wispy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Rohr Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Since Dark Angels and Black Templars got the same treatment we are looking at: 2 Boxes An Upgrade Sprue Variable Number of Characters The rumors right now are aligning with that, so I imagine Valrak will get word of a Death Company box soon.

The only clear cut "this needs a new kit ASAP" is Sanguinary Guard. I'd like to see another unit that's got a bespoke kit (DA got Knights and ICC, BT got Crusaders and Sword Bretheren), and as our second unit, I think I'd like something in the terminator slot as well (Since we are not going to get a BA bespoke assault terminator kit any time soon to replace our old assault terminator kit that was just drippy as hell). I'm gonna guess that we get a specialist Dread though, considering how many we have, and I would hate to lose the Librarian Dread. So our release would be (Versus their DA/BT Counterparts) Sanguinor (The Lion) Astorath (Grimaldus, Asmodai) Lemartes (Helbrecht, Belial) Sanguinary Priest (No DA alternate which surprises me, feels like Interrogator could've gone here, Castellan) Sanguinary Guard (Sword Brothers, ICC) Special Dread (Crusader Squad, DWKnights) +Upgrade sprue (Hopefully closer to BT style Upgrade sprue than DA style, if I'm honest) At least feels SORTA similar, without being cookie cutter.

Scribe Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Lemartes current model is one of the great Space Marine sculpts of all time. Its going to be very difficult for them to not degrade that. Warden-Paints and Bloody Legionnaire 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blindhamster Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 honestly wouldnt be sad if they just killed off lemartes, the current model is one of the best (amusing as his previous one was the worst lol), but he's really ready to be put to rest, tycho already is dead and whilst he remains one of my favourite BA characters, I wouldn't be too sad to see him dropped from the codex. Personally id rather have astorath and a new priest than lemartes and one of those two. Lemartes got a lot less interesting when he had to go into stasis IMO Kryczek and SnorriSnorrison 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
