DemonGSides Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 That new WE guy solves at least that obvious Chaos chainsword Rumor Engine. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385576-new-chaos-charactersunits/#findComment-6101823 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy Techwisp Posted March 27 Author Share Posted March 27 (edited) The Paint Scheme does not help these guys... Also whoever the Tzaangor Stan in the design studio is, they managed to get Giant Robot Tzaangors in so.... You win, I guess? Also our section got rushed so Space Wolves could hog the Spotlight.

Rain Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 (edited) So, an Eightbound character. Exactly what I was afraid of based on the Rumor Engine. No surgeon, or anything else relatively original, just a big Eightbound. Ah well, at least he looks—alright with the head shown in the teaser (the reveal head is pretty bad) and maybe he will have interesting rules. Edit: The robo-Ushabti look like , sorry dusty bros.

LSM Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 (edited) The TS robits are smaller than I was expecting. The pose, I assume, is purposefully statue-eqsue... which I'm also not sure does them favour. A lot of cool elements though, I think they'll grow on me.

WrathOfTheLion Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I think the robos will look better in a matching paint scheme, the bone scheme does them no favor. WE character is boring. Definitely the bottom of what I'd've picked, don't know how they managed to decide that. Old World was cool, but off topic.

Nephaston Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Smaller than I was hoping for but I do like them. Eightbound lord is nice, and a much better than the Juggerlord to lead 8bound, who will now be on puppy duty.

Naryn Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I think there's good bits in those robots for Thousand Sons, but I foresee Castellax-Achaea sales picking up in the near future.

WrathOfTheLion Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Could also probably do some kitbashes with some of the new plastic mechanicum robots, like the castellax, depending on size. That said, it's really hard to gauge if they're decent or not. The paint is just not working. templargdt and Trokair 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385576-new-chaos-charactersunits/#findComment-6101838 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Paperman Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I think those TSons robots look cool as all hell. Seems like the inspiration is Anubis/Ra statues, and then the weaponry and armour panels/livery are similar to Rubrics/Scarabs. The bone paint scheme isn’t great, but I think these guys are going to look awesome on the table. tzeentch9, Deus_Ex_Machina, HolyPestilience and 7 others 1 1 8 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385576-new-chaos-charactersunits/#findComment-6101843 Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has annoyed me too much and the Wolves getting more dedicated time than literally HALF THE CHAOS FACTION didn't help.

sitnam Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I really hope its the paint scheme turning me off of the robots, but I think I might just not like them. I love Daemon Engines, but Tzeentch Daemon Engines should be gribbly and weird. Quote Also whoever the Tzaangor Stan in the design studio is, they managed to get Giant Robot Tzaangors in so.... I unabashedly love Tzaangor, and these hold no appeal to me. That might be your own biases coming out.

DuskRaider Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 (edited) Those robots are so terrible that even I feel bad for Thousand Sons players. I usually laugh at their misfortune. This is just plain bad. Sorry, filthy Tzeentch worshippers, you got G’d. Edit: I just want to say that seeing the one Disagree react be a Tzeentch player made me chuckle pretty hard. Well played, Tzeentch.

StrangerOrders Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Gotta be honest, the more I look at those definitely-not-tortured-and-reformatted-Ironkyn the more I like them. There is very clearly something strange afoot with them because that armour plating does not look like it sits perfectly on that underbody. I do wonder if the concept with them is 'we need psy-automata but don't really have the resources... unless we borrow them and adjust them...'. I also wonder how big the squad can get mechanically, because if it can hit four and is even as tough and as fast the Mechanicus bots they could make a scary escort for Ahriman.

This is one of those things where I wonder if I can kitbash something better, like just from the AoS or The Old World lines. To clarify, I agree with you all, I'm just seeing it as, "Hmmm...challenge accepted.".

Orion Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I don't mind the Automata. They fit 40k Tsons better than a hellbrute imo. Not a fan of the WE dude, but I was never going to be. 8 bound are ugly. Less spikes more armour would do wonders. DG guy is cool.

Dark Age human-tech based robots all lean into bubble heads and other retro sci-fi aesthetics. They’re not Ironkyn heads, but descended from the same designs that Ironkyn are descended from. The DG character continues to look weird to me.
