Here's the link to where the question was asked about availability:

At the time, Saturnine was "quite soon" and the Fellblade was planned to be released after the launch. They were evasive about a timeline.

 

thanks for this, i sit corrected! I honestly misunderstood, from the preview show onwards I'd always been expecting it with Saturnine

Haha, opposite for me. I had it in my head that they previewed the Fellblade with the proviso that no one was supposed to bombard the social media team with questions about when it would be released because it was a long way out. I swear I saw that on one of the recent streams, but I guess I can't remember what product it was for, or even which stream. *shrug*

They said that for the teasers for mech, custodes and the cataphractii I think.

Where's my damn plastic fellblade, Bruce?

Having done 1/35 armour until a while ago, I have been trying to fathom out what to do with the sponson bolters but just can't work out an easy fix as the design is so bad.  Only real life example would be to copy the quad .50 calibre AA set up the US Army used in W2 and onwards, but needs space.  Easy fix is not use them at all!

I’d consider replacing them with the ones from rapiers, but to be honest I’m not sure that would be much better. Those seem to have ammo boxes on the back with no obvious way for the bullets to reach the guns. 
 

I’ll give mine laser destroyers so it’s not an issue.

Wasn't there Land Raider variant with Quad Heavy Bolters as sponsor? 

 

What was it... 

 

Land Raider Prometheus I think? 

 

Maybe copy that?

Indeed the prometheus, though it comes with its own weirdness; Ammo hopper in the back feeding the top ones directly and the bottom ones via a belt.

They should have done something similar to the hurricane bolters on the land raider crusader, those work.  Ammo hopper at the back of the guns, feed that goes to each gun independently.
