I think that's just a sensor/ECM package rather than a weapon.

I assumed it was a refuelling probe to be honest.

These are up for preorder now

[CL_Mission]

Perhaps a bit of a long shot but the blurb for the Arvus mentions it comes with a Division Aeronautica transfer sheet. Could this be a hint of more aircraft coming sooner rather than later?

GW are way ahead of you on that one

[Armchair Warlord]

I do love the Arvus, always have........ Alas, I got no excuse to get another one.  As I have more than enough in resin.

 

On a different note - The Deredeo loadouts..................  I'm going to have a toddlers tantrum with this one !!!  'I WANT MY ATOMANTIC PAVISE' !!!!!!! Where is it !?.... Personally I think the thing looked great at a few of the open days.... And I'd love to mount something that looked like a cross between a lascannon battery bank and the front of the starship Enterprise on a Deredeo. Suits the fluff for the Deredeo all day long!

Considering they removed the Pavise as an option in HH2... though if anything, probably not too hard to kitbash something or other to represent it.

TBH I havn't actually checked the HH2 options list !!!  My bad !   I primarily model more than game, so I tend to still model around HH1 for fluff over crunch.  Nice one for pointing this out though.

 

I have indeed played around with parts for making one.  I think I'm still drawn to the model they showed off as it looks suitably astartes and suitably unique amongst other imperial energy shield generation bits.

Oh good grief.  I managed to not buy the Krieg box only to want every single thing this week from HH.  

[ThePenitentOne]

I have classic plastic Immolator bits that I've been wanting to add to flier, but I think those are better suited to something fightier than the Arvus- probably a Valkyrie.

 

The Arvus would be an Inquisition vehicle.

I'd like to see the Vulture make a comeback.

 

Totally not for an Operation Gothic Serpent themed army with Kasrkin as Delta, Valks, Vultures, Tauros with wheel kits, Chimera for the rescue convoy...

A plastic Vulture with all the weapon options would be amazing .

This is the Sunday Preview for next saturday's pre-orders, so unfortunately we cannot preorder them yet.

 

Glad they finally released the Dorito weapons, the cables are different so we'll be able to magnetise and swap them like the last set - I have 2 from the previous battlegroup, so I just need one more of the lascannon frame to do me. I wonder if it will come with extra variant armour etc like the contemptor frame did. 

 

Also, Arvus is the star of the show here/ I'll never get one, but I hope it's priced to move so we see 5-10 in many Heresy militia armies.

I'm getting 2 so I can swap the top missiles back and forth, and have one of each main weapon type.

i just worried its gonna be priced like the valkyrie. Honestly its a flying rhino and should be priced accordingly. 

[01RTB01]

Dededeo isn't on the prices for this week. Assuming it'll be direct only.

That's on me for not proofreading properly

*Crosses fingers the goblin pricing index still holds*. Things are usually priced that way, but the Arvus is such an odd duck. I expect £40/45, as it seems bigger and more complex than a rhino, however it could easily be the £50 of a sicaran.

Less expensive than a valkyrie, but more expensive than a rhino. €62.50 from GW direct, so inbetween a predator and sicaran tank.

The Deredeo is there. The separate weapons aren’t but that’s not really a surprise. 

[The Praetorian of Inwit]

Lovely models. 

 

Fantastic GW are releasing plastic instead of resin characters. Good to see some proper support after so long. Hopefully they don't neglect it again. 

[Plaguecaster]

If the Valdor doesn't go legends I certainly will be getting on for my Krieg

Such an amazing looking tank, the infernus as well 

[Chaplain Raeven]

Might pick up the Valdor as well, I'm a sucker for tanks like that.

Its 47.50£, the same as thallax!

[TheArtilleryman]

Arvus is nice, but I’ve always pictured it a bit bigger, so it can carry more cargo. 12 guys doesn’t seem like much.

 

I can’t decide whether I like the deredeo or not. Like the comment about The Mask, it just seems a bit over the top and odd-looking, like the recoil would tip it backwards.
