I think the Sekhetar on the left on the picture above is mirrored in some way. At the very least, the option for playing them with dual Heavy Warpflamers or dual Meltas isn't there. 

 

That's just how they set up the models.

 

I predict the kit will be set up with one bit each, and the left and right arm sockets being different enough to not permit a clean fit without altering. Not to mention even assembling one bot with two warpflamers means you'll have to set up the other with the remaining options, thus rendering the number of weapons per bot the same.

Depends how many shots the Melta is. They can shoot in combat can't they? That said, Claws give an extra melee punch outside the Terminators. But then again, you can Infiltrate 4 Melta weapons and the Flamers in a single squad...

 

The Meltas are just 1A but they they are S10. As you say, Infiltrating 4 of those close to a suitable target is likely to leave a mark.

 

The claw loadout is just my personal preference. I think it's good that both options seem pretty well balanced.

Warcomm just put up some photos of different paint jobs on these and personally I think they look a lot better in the standard Thousand Sons colours.

they do look better but i just can't get over the static pose and that straight autocannon or flamer arm, whatever it is...

Finally found some sprue pics, you can totally use the arm you are not using to turn the big flamer into an actual arm instead of a shoulder socket swivel. (Source Sky Serpent on FB)

I agree. These minis look decent with better paint schemes, but they didn't really give me what I wanted out of TS robots. I get the whole "infiltrating as statues thing", but I just something beefier casting magic bullets anout

I need to see the bots heavy warpflamer next to the SoT heavy warpflamer and see how big the size difference is. I know the bot one is bigger, but I'm curious by how much. The bot one looks too big not to have a beefier profile or something.

I’ve looked at several non-Deathwing paint jobs for the robots and I think they look really good.  Not sure who came up with that cream scheme.
