Marshal Loss Posted yesterday at 06:12 AM Share Posted yesterday at 06:12 AM (edited) Gotta say that all the naysaying and negativity about preview and release timeframes over the last few weeks has been nicely put in the ground. I'm still soaking things in, but the amount of parts and variety on offer are really fantastic. I know there's a lot of bias here from me but this release feels like a labour of love from the designers. The Lord Exultant kit for one is a really great example of what I love seeing from plastic characters. The kits also look like they'll work perfectly for late heresy Emperor's Children forces.

Hathor42 Posted yesterday at 06:37 AM Share Posted yesterday at 06:37 AM From blurry images, it looks like Lucius lost his ranged attack but gained another close combat weapon, so Lash will do something as extra attacks.

Fire Golem Posted yesterday at 06:37 AM Share Posted yesterday at 06:37 AM (edited) I’m still absorbing everything, but I love that the Flawless Blades aren’t possessed. And I’m really glad the Infractors and Tormentors did end up being their own kit. Also the normal codex cover is excellent.

But thats not the topic. ( and not meant very serious ) I have mixed feelings ( though not necessarily negative ) on EC, they all look individually right up my ally.. and yet the 3 units are so very very similar ( this is likely not an opinion shared, but its my main problem with marines in general and the aforementioned craftworld eldar. ) while at the same time they dont.. I just cant put my finger on it. I miss alot of corruption in general, though the faces are excellent. Might be going for just 6 Flawless blades and 6 Noisemarines and skip the legionaires ( got enough daemons to complement it.) as I think they are the source of that feeling in the images. Flawless blades trophy backpacks need some trophying up, and some will get crabclaws.. lets see when awake. Did somebody catch what comes in the combat patrol or screenshot it ? I only noticed the Flawless blades. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384251-ec-rumours/page/48/#findComment-6087898 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flawless blades remind me of xantine from this book he isn’t possessed but he “works” with a demon that makes him stronger but doesn’t allow it to take over like I guess Eightbound is 01RTB01, Hathor42 and LSM 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384251-ec-rumours/page/48/#findComment-6087899 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted yesterday at 06:53 AM Share Posted yesterday at 06:53 AM I do think the Noise Marines are less body-horror than I was expecting.

The only objective they're seizing is the H&M at the mall. From what I can see the whole army opted for extra high cropped chest pieces, with only the blades fully ditching the undersuit. Really baiting those gut injuries for maximum perforation.

01RTB01 Posted yesterday at 07:08 AM Share Posted yesterday at 07:08 AM Well I'll be planning 3rd Company Elite and pride of the legion lists tomorrow. 2 army boxes for me. The "basic" marines here for me are the standouts. Amazing minis and huge potential. Really excited. The noise marines ticked the weapon variety for me with enough visual differences. However, I'd like to see more of the sprues as they still haven't hit the spot. However, I am not complaining. The elites look superb as does Lucius and the combat orientated character. The noise marine character again, a little odd but I'm looking forward to looking over these tomorrow on a larger screen. 30 years well worth the wait. @Chapter Master Valrak on the money again so big thanks as always. Great to see Ian Malcolm again tonight! mel_danes, skylerboodie, INKS and 5 others 2 3 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384251-ec-rumours/page/48/#findComment-6087910 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matcap86 Posted yesterday at 07:17 AM Share Posted yesterday at 07:17 AM Great models overall. The only (minor) nitpick I have is that everything is in Mk6 armour. Would've liked some more variation to show their Veterans of the Long War status. (Also I don't like that Mk6 has become the default HH mark).
