FINALLY THEY'RE HERE

[ThaneOfTas]

Oh praise the Emperor! They're finally here! Very nice mix too!

[Nagashsnee]

I am glad it is here, and the weapons look nice, but 10 chainswords falls well below my hopes. The swords, spears, maces and the like are better and more varied then i expected however. The bolt pistol mix is interesting. Still it needed 20 chainswords. Everything else is nice but its not main weapon.

[Fire Golem]

Much better than I feared!

[Rhavien]

I'm happy for all heresy players. Felt like an eternity. 

[darkhorse0607]

I'm here for it. No complaints from me

[CL_Mission]

That's a nice looking set of weapons! The 4 power axes will be perfect for me, I'll pair them with one of the command squads and have the last guy holding a banner. Really glad to see a Tigrus bolt pistol in there and I'm a sucker for swords being drawn from their sheath, don't thin'k I shall use 2 in the same army as I'd want it to be unique but the second will get used somewhere for sure, the lance will make for another good looking model. 

Really glad I didn't build most of my sergeants yet.

[Robbienw]

That's nice, really nice.  

 

New heads and pointing/open hands are great.

 

Also Tigrus pattern bolt pistols - new mk4 plastics confirmed

[No Foes Remain]

Pistols! Yes!

 

That set is packed, going to be grabbing a few of those for sure.

[Bung]

No Salt today.

Maybe Salt tomorrow.

There is always Salt tomorrow.

[Waaagh?]

 

That's nice, really nice.  

 

New heads and pointing/open hands are great.

 

Also Tigurs pattern bolt pistols - new mk4 plastics confirmed 

They are already in the command squad box 

[Xenith]

FINALLY! And it's way way better than expected. Nice work GW.

[Xirix]

Not too bad, nice to see some different pattern bolt pistols too, though I guess we'll have to wait for actual destroyer squads to get off-hand pistols. Overall I think this is a quite nice kit.

[apologist]

Positives:

• Lots of variety
• Cool updates or refinements to the aesthetics of a couple of items.
• Perfectly useable in 40k and expect to see so shortly.
• Particularly nice to see spears and heavy chainswords widely available in plastic 

 

On the downsides

• Odd to see weapons in fours rather than enough for a combat squad
• A slight niggle that all the firearms are left-handed; all melee weapons are right-handed

 

Bigger version of the main pic:

 

However, given the sheer range included, it'd be churlish to grouse about these points. Oh, and of course 'What a waste of a slot for Legions Imperialis!' he cried, tongue firmly in cheek :P

 

These are fun, and I'm glad to see this long-awaited kit for those that play Embiggened Age of Darkness. A considerably better kit than the command unit to my eye, and I hope everyone who was waiting for them is delighted. :)

And lose the opportunity to make you buy two? No way...

[Halandaar]

Definitely more comprehensive than I was expecting. Good job?!

[Ramell]

That's a tasty set. Great for the HH people in particular, but it's also great for adding more variety for your bitz box for anyone who collects space marines.

[Xenith]

Yea, ideally they could have just flipped the CAD file and made 5x left and 5x right handed bp's + swords. That would make the kit 11/10. 

[Astartes Consul]

Oh those are *nice* 

[Matrindur]

I really want to see these on some normal models. The Assault Squad is made with melee poses so of course these fit right in but will be interesting how they will look with the shooting poses of the Tactical Squad kits

[Xenith]

No ETA though which is a shame - maybe a month from now? What was it usually with Heresy thursdays?

[Robbienw]

 

They are already in the command squad box 

 

The command squad one is a bit of a variant though, it has a different ejection port area to the normal tigrus bolt pistol.

 

But even better - new Mk4 plastics double confirmed

Agree. Really nice set but even if it had 14 chainswords that would be better because then you can make 2 assault squads with 7 chainswords and 3 power weapons each.

 

Oh and a couple more bolt pistols too.

Perfect for building out some custom Death Company units in 40K.
