Wormwoods Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Well, butter my biscuit, I actually like these WAY more than I thought I would. Noted Scions-Disliker that I am, I'm kinda sold. The slightly tweaked proportions and extra straps are doing it for me. I just need to swap the heads out for some barret wearing options... Also, the weird, bouncy poses on current GW jump troops look much nicer on non-marines with guns, feels more like a controlled touchdown.

Orion Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 If the backlog ever frees up I might do 5 dudes for my arvus, and 5 for my valk. I've wanted to paint them up with a matching scheme with some msu squads.

sairence Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 (edited) Can't wait for the eventual "build only the stuff in the box" rules for these that made Ork Kommandos so fun to use. Existing Scions have worked like that for years. I remember running quad-Plasma/quad-Melta squads, oh yes...back in the olden days.

Magos Takatus Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 I like these a lot. I was expecting them to be passable and for me to not really care about them. Unless they seriously mess up the Vespid this boxed set is calling out to me now. sitnam 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/383453-operation-hivestorm-preview-17082024/page/6/#findComment-6057079 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halandaar Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 I like these quite a bit more than I thought I would based on the rumour, although I hope there's an alternative loadout for them. Jump Troops with rifles is fine and all, but if Scions are being made more of a thing they could do with a bit more variety of roles than just "infantry" and "same infantry but faster".

Alby the Slayer Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 as already said it's so sad to see these latest-in the reveal week-leaks. Other than that these are very solid and I'm very curious about the possible terrain for this release.

Wormwoods Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Last few previews have been pre-recorded ones, not expecting this one to be any different. Oh, yeah, right. Guess I'll not bother staying up, then, haven't really enjoyed the new style. C'est la vie.

Dark Shepherd Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 (edited) Models are nice, just sad (once again) for the WarCom crew that get their thunder stolen a day before the preview again. Its a bit different this time as its from a warcom mistake/accidental upload rather than a scoop We can expect aggression at the next warhammer company paintball day :) Edited August 16 by Dark Shepherd Matcap86 and Aarik 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/383453-operation-hivestorm-preview-17082024/page/6/#findComment-6057110 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casual Heresy Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Well I'm sold. I've always liked the Scion aesthetic but hated that they replaced the superior (in my opinion) Kasrkin. Very happy to see the Scions going in a new direction and I'm looking forward to seeing the whole kit. If the terrain is good I'll definetly get the big box.

Lord_Ikka Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 Scions w/grav packs, volley-gun turret, and possibly a sniper rifle? Vespid w/rail rifles and some sort of grenade launcher?

Matrindur Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 The trailer is fire and the Scions are looking good but we already saw the models so that is no surprise. Not sure about the Vespids yet, need to see the models first but not sure if I like the change from the current bluish hue to the new greenish one. Also one of them had a helmet that really doesn't look like the old controller helmet. More like a standard Tau Fire Warrior helmet Also the drop turret in the beginning that was also in the rumours Marshal Loss 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/383453-operation-hivestorm-preview-17082024/page/6/#findComment-6057130 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casual Heresy Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 And now I'm hyped. Scions look like they will be cool. Did it look like the sergeant had a power katana to anyone else? Vespid with special/heavy weapons is very interesting. Looking forward to tomorrow's preview alot more now.

That sentry gun looked scary, particularly when it got lit up by lightning. That was a proper horror movie beat.
