DemonGSides Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 (edited) Wish lemartes kept his pose. I get it, he's crazy, whatever, I liked the casual disdain of the old one. Astorath pose was stupid before, just bigger and stupid now. At least the model itself looks good now instead of being stunty. Death Company upgrades are sad. Just give us a Death Company upgrade sprue that goes in those boxes and a regular BA upgrade sprue for everything else. Also, a single Inferno pistol on the upgrade sprue. Sheeeesh. And only one BA helmeted head. Thank god I have so many old BA Tactical and DC Sprues sitting around. Gonna keep harvesting those helmets.

Nagashsnee Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Why would the chapter ever put lemartes thru the rubicon? I know primaris sell and all that, but certain cases where it makes very very very little sense (plus his model is not that old) should be except. His entire lore is he cannot be trusted outside the death company as he could lose control at any second, why would they ever waste the resources to make him primaris? Like i LOVE the mini, its a FANTASTIC mini, but come on GW you gotta at least pretend that the lore counts for a tini tiny something.

Cyrox Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Upgrade sprue is disappointing for me! Too many fangs, the HH Style Chapter badge, and only 1 pistol? Darn.

There's nothing to indicate that he went through the Rubicon (The video doesn't call him Primaris Lemartes) so I'm not sure he did. HIs model is almost 14 years old, definitely time for an update. I just wish it was more like his last one and not like his original one LOL Kharn13 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/382499-blood-angel-boxset/page/9/#findComment-6052623 Share on other sites More sharing options...

INKS Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 (edited) I don't really do bare heads all that much myself. But it looks like a nice spure. some terminator options. Inferno pistol is so so so so welcomed. wish there was a power fist, but otherwise it looks good. I know there aren't enough helmeted heads, and more inferno pistols. But I didn't expect a single inferno pistol, so I guess I am easily pleased. lol Edited July 29 by INKS Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/382499-blood-angel-boxset/page/9/#findComment-6052625 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DemonGSides Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 (edited) THe Warhammer Community article does state that we are getting 4 upgrade sprues in the box set. That's a nice addition; I'm not sure how many the DA one got but I'm pretty sure the BT one only came with two? Article also states 18 data sheets; there's 19 currently on the App, so that means we're losing something; my guess is both Firstborn Death Company Variants, and we're adding in Death Company INtercessors with Jump Packs. Meaning hopefully, we lose nothing else besides over-geared Death Company squads, and NOTHING else. Hopefully. Hopefully.

caladancid Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 (edited) For me both new models are worse than the existing sculpts, Astorath less so than Lemartes. And as a side note, I do wonder why GW seems to avoid long haired heads for the Blood Angels upgrades. They often are shown in art with it, but never seems to pan out with the releases with the exception of unique models.

Halandaar Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Lack of a specific faceplate for the Death Company Dreadnought is a shame, rest seems as expected. Might even pick this up, as I didn't bother to get multipart Assault Intercessors in 9th or Jump Pack ones recently so this fills a couple of gaps in my collection as well as having the characters.

ChapterMasterGodfrey Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 That only looks like half the upgrade sprue? If not then a fumble on not doing a ab chest piece.

Xenith Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 (edited) 10 ass ints and 10 as ints with packs...I don't need any of these, but the set is very tempting for Lemartes and Asty. I guess £150-175? I'm glad they took the time to fix astorath's ab muscles, this was one of the funny things the initial designer got wrong - ab muscle cords go side to side, not up and down. New pose is weird though, feels unnatural to have the axe held like that, I don't think you could swing properly, unless he slides that right hand down onthe stroke?

Our launch box had only half the the number of a troops, a single crusader squad of 10, which is a bespoke kit with its own BT bits. The later combat patrol would come with some though, again, probably not that many, as half the troops were made out of the crusader kit, and then some extra intercessors.

skylerboodie Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 i love the new Lemartes (though still love the old one). Not a fan of the new Astorath tbh though, his face mask / facial expression looks less snarly, more yawny. Upgrade sprue sucks, especially compared to the Dark Angels one, imho. As @caladancid says, the hair options on the heads could be much better, rather than just the usual blond moptops. Flowing long locks would be nicer. And the dreadnought upgrade singular bit is a joke caladancid 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/382499-blood-angel-boxset/page/9/#findComment-6052637 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Marshal Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 (edited) Lemartes looks fantastic. Astorath is... okay? I guess? It's a very faithful adaption of the old model, but maybe not for the better. I think the face/mask is throwing it off, plus the 'Eavy Metal highlighting of the wings makes it look kind of unfinishedd. I reckon it's going to be one of those models that looks a lot better when non-box art painters get their hands on it.

The4thHorseman Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 I think I'm in the minority, but I hate the new Lemartes. Its pretty much a downgrade except for the Crozius, granted its not a Cotez downgrade, but it is. Asrorath is actually not bad, its nice they stayed straight to the previous version and didn't go and "re-imagine" him. Also for everything else, probably going to end up with a downgraded and limited version of Death Company equipment as is the way of the Primaris, so that sucks, also doesn't bode well for Sanguinary Guard. I wish there was a better picture of the Decal Sheet, because those look fantastic.

Robbienw Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Upgrade sprue is decent, similar content to the DA one. Astorath is good. Lemartes is not great, overly chunky detailing, markedly inferior to the previous version.
