CL_Mission Posted Friday at 07:43 PM Share Posted Friday at 07:43 PM The Rapiers themselves are adorable. The crew are really neat looking, would love to use them for veterans or something, some fancy squad or another.

Marshal Loss Posted Friday at 08:00 PM Share Posted Friday at 08:00 PM The least exciting and surprising of the stream's reveals, but still great to see them move to plastic. A staple of early HH 1.0 gaming for me Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385965-plastic-legiones-astartes-rapiers/#findComment-6111826 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Eye Posted Friday at 08:06 PM Share Posted Friday at 08:06 PM Nice! I think I preferred the older design a bit but still, not bad at all. lansalt, roryokane, Mostwanted and 6 others 9 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385965-plastic-legiones-astartes-rapiers/#findComment-6111828 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The helmet with overlapping faceplates is a Techmarine visual design motif (even in Primaris marines) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385965-plastic-legiones-astartes-rapiers/#findComment-6111842 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbienw Posted Friday at 08:22 PM Share Posted Friday at 08:22 PM (edited) I think it’s meant to be a mark 6 variant, but the crew armour looks different enough to be a unique mark in its own right.

lansalt Posted Friday at 08:29 PM Share Posted Friday at 08:29 PM Look at the backpacks, shoulder pads, and knees. That's a techmarine themed mk4 variant, IMO painting.for.my.sanity 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385965-plastic-legiones-astartes-rapiers/#findComment-6111855 Share on other sites More sharing options...

skylerboodie Posted Friday at 09:49 PM Share Posted Friday at 09:49 PM Painted in Imperial Fists & Sons of Horus colours, rather than Salamanders & Iron Warriors colours - so, delayed release from 2nd edition then? lokkorex, LightningClawLeonard, de Selby and 1 other 1 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385965-plastic-legiones-astartes-rapiers/#findComment-6111900 Share on other sites More sharing options...
infyrana Posted Friday at 10:07 PM Share Posted Friday at 10:07 PM Nice, I prefer the previous resin design, but they are quite compact and it's fun to see something different with the marines themselves (might change the proud shoulder pads). Packs of two are irksome to get 3's of each - damn money marketing tactics ! roryokane and Ayatollah_of_Rock_n_Rolla 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385965-plastic-legiones-astartes-rapiers/#findComment-6111907 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elzender Posted Friday at 10:28 PM Share Posted Friday at 10:28 PM It is good to see rapiers in plastic, I must say I am not a big fan of the crew's armour. I do appreciate the variety of gadgets and poses, but the armour design elements don't quite do it for me. still, glad there are some other fraters liking it.

Xirix Posted Friday at 11:14 PM Share Posted Friday at 11:14 PM I think I prefer the original design too, but these are still very good, really digging the techmarine-y look of the crew too. roryokane 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385965-plastic-legiones-astartes-rapiers/#findComment-6111944 Share on other sites More sharing options...
roryokane Posted Friday at 11:39 PM Share Posted Friday at 11:39 PM Agree I like the old design better but the crew are superb. Gonna have to get me a bunch, because those Techmarine-alike bits will make a fine addition to my collection.

sockwithaticket Posted Friday at 11:49 PM Share Posted Friday at 11:49 PM That reminds me, I still have an unbuilt resin rapier sitting around in the pile of shame... Don't mind this re-design and plastic is good. Crew are cool except for the knee pad design. What is up with that?

Nephaston Posted yesterday at 12:05 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:05 AM Definitely nice to have. Guessing by the poses it's a sprue of 4 guys and two rapier platforms, with the guns on a separate sprue? Or maybe smaller sprues of two guys and one platform, which would mean the kneeling pose is optional. Which in turn means there's at least a set of legs to steal.

01RTB01 Posted yesterday at 01:31 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:31 AM Seems that these will come in pairs. Presumably squad sizes will drop to pairs? Love them, I'll be getting some for Saul's loyalists and Isstvan III last ditch defense.

Corswain Posted yesterday at 03:01 AM Share Posted yesterday at 03:01 AM I also prefer the older design but these are cool. Keen to see the back of them. One of my favourite aspects of the resin version was the crew standing on it and driving it around like a little earth-mover. Loved it. Still nice models and I plan to get a few for my Iron Warriors.
