Horus Heresy Plastic Fellblade Super-Heavy Tank

[The Praetorian of Inwit]

The bolters look fine to me. 

 

The Fellblade will look glorious in tje colours of the VIIth.

The bolters are not the issue, it's the box magazines, which would need to wrap around the lower bolters to function like they are modeled.

 

This has the knock on effect that logically the upper two bolters would have less ammo unless the angles don't show of some modeled detail we can't see like a belt feed or additional ammo hopper.

 

Overall it's not that big an issue, but one would hope for a bit of quality control for a minimum of plausibility in my cyber-olympian drama war sim.

Good news, I always wanted to see such a tank in plastic on par with Spartan. It will be a great thing for both collections and games!

I prefer the Demolisher on this one, matches the style of the 30k Vindicators.

 

I prefer the rectangle doors on the original though, sadly won’t be able to use my old FW land raider doors on this one.

I thought the resin fellblade used Rhino doors, not LR ones?

Yes you are right.

 

I often get the two sets confused as to which goes on bigger vehicles.

 

I have plenty if Rhino ones that won’t for on their either 

 

Hopefully it will fit the Deimos Rhino doors, even though they aren’t as good as the original LR and Rhino designs.

I suspect that's what they've done - re-engineered them to take the new Deimos doors including the resin Legion-specific ones they released, which means people can have their legion-specific hatches again. I agree, I prefer the Mars-pattern compatible sets, but at least you can put SOME Legion-specific iconography on the new Fellblades if you want to!

Not sure if this has been posted or not, but the hearsay site has been updated with a few nuggets on the confirmed rumors: https://thehorushearsay.com/

I'm still waiting for the Caestus Assault Ram!

I'm with ya - gotta have a hardy transport for my breachers!  But I'll take the Fellblade for now (even with the squat features, I do wonder now how it compares with the baneblade sprue that was used as part of the resin kit) and look forward to seeing the Caestus make a come back (fingers crossed it doesn't decline further away).

[Sothalor]

At this point, I'm also hoping for plastic versions of the Fire Raptor and Storm Bird. Those kits are notoriously difficult in resin.

 

Also, a plastic Glaive has to be coming, right? Please?

There's an image in the trailer of the glaive. Falchion I'd wager is a different kit due to the chonky turret. 

 

I wouldn't get your hopes up for a Stormbird for a looooong time. 

[skylerboodie]

probably means Storm Eagle (alongside Fire Raptor)

That's the one, thanks! Currently they're mixed resin and plastic kits, using parts from the stormraven.

 

[Mandragola]

The fact they’ve made this kit allows them to do plenty of other stuff based on it, not just for Legions but potentially for SA too. 
 

We haven’t seen the sprue layout but we know they’re pretty clever at making things compatible. The SA superheavies have been redesigned for LI so it’s not impossible that the same would have been done for big 30k.

 

This is pure speculation of course. 

[Orange Knight]

This is a dream model, but it has arrived at a bad time for me. 

 

I might consider buying it. I definitely WOULD buy it if it was a standard 40k unit.

It will look so good in Imperial Fist yellow (and maybe the colours of the III Legion too).

 

 

[Orange Knight]

I'm collecting Ultramarines for the Heresy game, and they suffer from all the same problems that Imperial Fists suffer from in 40k.

 

I went out of my way to capitalise on what little unique options had rules in the last edition of the game, and was punished for it with sledge-hammer erratas and now, potentially face having those models invalidated altogether.

 

I really want to be excited for the 2nd edition of the game, and I would invest in some models, but I need to see more before I go down that path.

Glaive was the rumor i heard before fellblade. I imagine we will get a duel kit, or maybe get the fellblade in June and then the Glaive in the fall. 

[Marshal Rohr]

They’re definitely going to do a Solar Aux Stormhammer and Baneblade boxes but I bet they’re gonna wait and see how those sell before doing the “once in a collection” shadow swords and stuff.

Cool models are there forever in your collection. Rule of cool > rules. Also, I'm not sure what you're exactly talking about - what issues do ultramarines have in 30k? Lastly, this is third or "3.0", not second edition? 

 

And an addendum: totally fair to be skeptical building anything or crafting lists right now - the lads at the Powerfist podcast/channel recently discussed this and the uncertainty of it all. The suggestions they all gave was to build something that will always be core to the game, if you don't want to feel like you're idling until the box(es) are in your hands. Things like Tacticals, Rhinos, Apothecaries, marine Captains/Praetors/Centurions. If you're mech, maybe some more myrmidons, lol. More lasrifle sections if you're solar auxilia.

If you pause at 1:07 in the trailer, you can see the glaive firing. So, dual kit - or maybe later down the line.  I too want to get the Fire Raptor and Storm Eagle in plastic. I'm known as the builder in my hobby circle, I love to convert and  build - I was giving an unofficial kit by a friend because of this reputation to build it for them, and even with the proper tools and knowing the reputation of the kit I was going into ( I had a heat gun, clamps, thicker rubber bands, and putty for filling gaps) - I GAVE UP. Another friend in my hobby group has over 15k of Space Wolves (this was in 1st ed, idk what that  would be in 2.0), some of which is an entire air-wing formation. He said he has both official kits of the Fire Raptor/Storm Eagle and unofficial ones, and they're all equally nightmarish to assemble.

Both the Glaive and Falchion have been off the webstore for a while now, I imagine they're both coming at some point. Since Glaive is just a turret swap (I believe?) I could see a dual-kit maybe. Hell, maybe they'll make a fourth Fellblade variant to pair with the Falchion.

The glaive and fellblade could be in the same box. The falchion has a chunky turret so could be it by itself?

[Cadmus Tyro]

The differences in the turrets between the glaive and the fellblade are quite significant. The glaive also lacks the demo cannon over the front of the hull as well.

 

I think it’s more likely we will see separate kits with alternate turret sprues.

I can only imagine they're going with the model used for the cerastus knight variants. Similar base sprues, but seperate boxes for all variants.

[Son of Rawl]

I like it. It gives me hope we will see a plastic Mastodon one day.
