Horus Heresy Plastic Fellblade Super-Heavy Tank

I am never going to financially recover from this.

For about a decade I wanted a Fellblade but thought it was too expensive. Hopefully with the move to plastic it becomes more affordable!

[NovemberIX]

I don't need a third fellblade, I don't need a third fellblade, I don't need a third fellblade!

 

But it looks damn good! I like the small detail changed here and there, I'd still replace the fuel drums with replacements from Blood and Skull Industry, but they look a lot better than the old fuel drums. The guns look good, and I like that now you can take flamers and quad bolters.

[CL_Mission]

I'll hold out for a plastic Glaive to buy and never get round to painting. Or better yet hold out for a plastic Mastodon. Still this is really nice!

[Marshal Loss]

Move over Kratos, there's a new plastic top dog in town.

 

Can't wait to get my hands on this, though I'm hoping a plastic Falchion follows shortly after as that's always been my favourite of the Fellblade chassis vehicles.

[Waaagh?]

Guess it's likely we will see the other variants shortly.

 

Though saying that we are still waiting on 3 other variant of plastic Sicaran.

They're now "Out of stock" so might not be long to wait.

 

I've been debating picking up a Kratos or a Baneblade for a while now but this has ended that discussion. Fellblade incoming for my Sons of Horus.......or Space Wolves.......or both.

[Interrogator Stobz]

Legends!

[Robbienw]

It’s fantastic.  Release in LI scale at the same time please!

[lansalt]

I love this steel beast, but I can't help to notice that the quad heavy bolters are wrongly modelled. The upper ammo magazines are copy pasted without care into the lower guns

 

[infyrana]

Gotta have me one of these finally !  However, is it me or has this thing been squatted ?  I liked the original resin, felt like it had a sleek flat based look to it, so either the angles of every shot I've see isn't doing it justice, or there's a few tweaks that make it boxier, little taller or a little shorter, even the barrels look a fraction shorter.  Might only get the one now, look and feel is everything!

 

Intrigued to see pricing and how they will introduce the other turrets!

Bizzare. I undestand that the back magazines from Rapier wouldn't allow the sponson tu turn, but there must have been a better option. LR Prometheus only pretended to have the upper HBs belt fed (from nowhere, for the matter). Maybe some assymetric design?

That hurts me, I've watched too much of Jonathan Fergusson, Keeper of Arms and Artillery at the Royal Armouries in Leeds here in the UK which houses thousands of iconic weapons from throughout history, to overlook that. If I hadn't seen the model I'd say that was a bad copy/paste of a mockup.

[Elzender]

I like that GW is bringing the fellblade chasis to plastic, and I understand some elements would need to change due to sprue design limitations, but this re-design still feels a bit off: 

- As @infyrana says, the proportions feel a bit boxier,

- As  @lansalt rightly points out, the magazine clipping issue on the sponson bolters is absolutely bizarre, I feel we've had other quad Bolter designs that made more sense.

- The squared back part of the cupola feels like it is less integrated into the dome itself, but that I understand is likely a limitation on how to translate these shapes to a plastic sprue

- I preferred the demolisher cannon design on the resin model, this one feels a bit tacked on whereas the original one felt a bit more integrated on the hull.

 

 

Ok, rant over, and overall still very happy to see this tank in plastic, I'm hoping it will be slightly cheaper than the IG Baneblade as it won't include 2 different cupolas and 8 main weapon variants.

This summarises why I am glad I only recently forked out for a resin one on EBay. I’ll probably still get these. Definitely sticking with the quad las sponsons though!

I will say that I swear I saw a Glaive or a Falchion in the trailer when they showed the armoured column rolling along.

Yup, I'm super excited for giant choom. Falchion would be very cool as well.

Thank you, it was bugging me that I thought it looked different. Bit of a downgrade now I see it imho. Hmm

Our fraters above pointed out already the main issues, I just wanted to echo them as I completely agree, and then add my two nitpicks.

I still quite like the overall result, and I am sure once we see more pictures in the wild (or even a side to side with a resin one), it will look better than in these initial pictures. It would not be the first time that the reveal pics from GW manage to make a new model look worse than it is.

 

I am curious to see the sprue layout to see how difficult it would be to better integrate the back of the cupola, and with a bit of luck the demolisher cannon itself can be separated from the massive square casing, so a bit of plastic sheet might do the trick to recreate the shielding of the resin one.

Yeah while the painting is technically well done, the colour choices and style choices don't do the model any favours I think. Makes it more look like a toy tank instead of a model.

When are getting that elusive TH gunship that's been rumoured since before the HH game was even a thing?

Oh no, you mentioned it. That's another 5 years of waiting added to the timer.

[Ayatollah_of_Rock_n_Rolla]

Have there been any credible rumours about sm aircraft?

[The Praetorian of Inwit]

It looks beautiful. And one less resin kit too.

Nothing a few hours painstakingly removing, measuring, cutting, and expanding the upper magazines won’t fix. Oh and gap filling. Easy peasy. 

[Casual Heresy]

I can’t wait for this kit. A Fellblade has been on the long list to get for quite a few years. The Kratos scratched the itch for a while but I need moar ridiculously large battle tanks in my life.
