thesarge44 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Cool model, happy for MK2 in plastic, but i hope they keep the overlapping plates on the legs, much prefer those to these new leg design. Not to picky tho, i want a squad of 20 of each mk for my Night Lords and if this gets me closer to MK5 i'll be a happy boy. (also, do proper MK7 Tactical rescales GW i beg of thee) Aarik 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rumour goes that MKIII in Burning of Prospero was originally MKII, but they couldn't get the all-around overlapping plates to work with the injection moulds and is why we ended up with MKIII. Dunno if there's any merit to it, but it might also explain why a 'redesign' of MKII occurred here ahead of the inevitable plastics if that is true.

BadgersinHills Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Love this! Would have liked an option for the Medusan sword like in Little Horus, but it's still awesome. And a hint at new MK2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not to hung up about the re-design, i prefer the legs of the originals, but these still look distinct enough from MK3 to be interesting at least. Wonder if they'll redo MK 4 first so they can ditch the current kit. My favourites were always MK3/5/7 anyhow but a proper legion should have all marks included imo, makes it feel more immersive.

Marshal Rohr Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Mark 2! Oh my god that’s gonna be so sick in plastic. We’ve seen all the updated designs now.

I'd argue the overlapping design was forge world misinterpreting the original metal mini which had this same design of riveted plates touching edges. The rivets definitely make it easy to misinterpret. Marshal Mittens and Lord Marshal 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerOrders Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 That model is so much more unreasonably badass than I ever imagined for Hibou! The helmet in particular is so striking!

Astartes Consul Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 An interesting note from Steve May, the former GW designer, on Instagram here: 45 minutes ago, Lord Marshal said: The rumour goes that MKIII in Burning of Prospero was originally MKII, but they couldn't get the all-around overlapping plates to work with the injection moulds and is why we ended up with MKIII. Dunno if there's any merit to it, but it might also explain why a 'redesign' of MKII occurred here ahead of the inevitable plastics if that is true. Yeah, unless there is a creative solution like they did for the Mk VI pauldrons, that problem won't have gone away I guess?

sitnam Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I don’t think that’s their hair in that pic. You can see a bronze spike within the topknot, and it’s colored differently to the bare head DemonGSides, Aarik, Cactus and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
