Quite like the jump pack lord. To many teeth everywhere though, need to sand off the ones on the collar/inside the jump pack intakes. Could fit nice for a lord with the NL Kill Team i guess.

 

The lord on foot bothers me for some reason, something about it i just don't like, might be the giant tactical rock, or the cloak/symbols making it look a little AoS-ish for lack of a better term.

They were smart to put the small raptors in a cultist box, they blend right in. Would stick out with the upscaled chaos marines and terminators. The characters look cool. Surprised it took this long to get a multipart chaos lord though. Better late than never I guess.

[WrathOfTheLion]

Both kits look multipart, they're going to be quite nice additions to the range. They've been a long time coming though.

 

I really like the MK V-esque helmet for the standard Chaos Lord, very nice, as that's one of my favorite armor marks. Hopefully World Eaters get some access to some of this too, hopefully at least the basic Chaos Lord. I'll have to pick up another kit if so.

"It’s one of the largest codexes so far, with eight Detachments that capture the fighting styles of classic Traitor Legions, as well as other renegade forces like piratical raiders and devotees of Vashtorr the Arkifane."

Hmmm...

 

Five Undivided Legions.

 

Red Corsairs

 

Vashtorr's BadMech.

 

Creations of Bile?

So... what exactly is the Jump Pack Lord attached to there? Some smoke coming out of a Space Marine helmet? O.o

That's my guess, unless Emperors Children are still in the book, then I would guess bile gets bumped.

I think Emperors Children won't be in it, and they'll do similar to WE last edition. So something like a EC force in a White Dwarf until they get their standalone Codex.

5 undivided, Red Corsairs, Vashtorr's Daemon Engine Monster Mash and the Cultist/Traitor Guard heavy one they mentioned in the chatshow segment.

Love the foot lord.
Time for my favorite activity - making size comparisons:
 

[darkhorse0607]

Really like the Lord on Foot, he's basically small Abbadon and I dig it

 

Sad about the reused codex art though, would have liked to seen new art

[BrainFireBob]

Glad I left my JP lords alone. 

[Tokugawa]

They both have similar design concept, options and quality with their loyalist counterparts(primaris jump captain and captain in company heroes box) .

[Ezekyle_Abaddon]

Something interesting from the Warcom article for both of these:

 

-Foot Lord

"choose from a chainaxe, an accursed maul, or a daemon hammer in his right hand, and a plasma pistol or power fist in his left."

 

Is this most likely flavour text from the Warhammer community team, or does it hint at a return to more classic weapon options?

 

My bet is definitely on the former but it would be cool if I were wrong.

 

-Jumpack Lord

"A power axe or fist can be paired with a plasma or bolt pistol, giving the Lord a balanced combo loadout perfect for all kinds of foes."

 

Looks like there is going to be a power fist option that we don't see in any of the pics. Hoping for something between the chosen and legionaries' power fists. Less teeth, but cooler posing.

 

Edit: Looks like there is an image of the jumpack lord with the powerfist

I'm finding the jump lord pretty underwhelming. It seems quite static compared to the loyalist jump captain, like he's just hanging in the air.

 

Lord on foot is decent. Hoping the fist/axe combo means something with Extra Attacks.

[KaosRaptor]

Very happy with the on-foot Lord, he's more or less exactly what I wanted (though I could do without the tactical rock). Cloak? Check. Badass helmet? Check. Selection of weapons? Check. Definitely picking one up!

 

The jump-pack lord suffers from GW's insistence on every unit with a jump-pack being in the air somehow regardless of how silly it is, and the pose just seems awkward. Almost like he's floating or dangling rather than coming crashing down or rocketing up.

 

+Edit+ Also here's a pic of the JP Lord with a power fist/bolt pistol, looks pretty similar to the claws. Maybe just replaces the fingers?

Oh sweet Lord let it be true. We got HQ's and multiple types of infantry. Just let us ally in AM armor and artillery Brood Brothers style.

 

Love both lords. Will definitely pick up the jump pack Lord down the line to Tzeentchify

Same here. I'm hoping the cape from the chosen box makes him look more imposing/dynamic

 

A good base changed too. Haarken's base might make him look less floaty than the helmet smoke

Static? Really?

[FormelyKnownAsSmashyPants]

Will definitely be picking up th foot Lord for my fledgling CSM army to replace the one from BSF I donated it to my brother for his fledgling CSM army LOL. I love this model so much and somehow they have managed to make him even better than the one from BSF which is a tough thing to accomplish as he was pretty much perfect to begin with.

Hopefully that'll be something akin to the classic Lost and the Damned list from the Eye of Terror campaign book! 

 

Otherwise I'm a bit underwhelmed by the new Chaos Lords (that Raptor Lord looks like it's going to be the most easy to break miniature in the entire Chaos Marine Range ); the army sets aren't terribly exciting either, unless you want to bulk out your army cheaply, I guess. 

[Nephaston]

Can't wait to get the Jump lord once they get around to redoing raptor/warp talons. Footslogger is an instant buy however.

Oh now that is a nice addition. Be nice if I could bring in my disc Tzaangors but I kind of doubt it
