Orange Knight Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 5 minutes ago, Crimson Longinus said: Strange that they'd split the intercessors given that it is ten unique sculpts. Yeah this is so strange and disappointing. It costs GW pennies to add the full sprue and it would make this smaller box legitimately great.

At least it looks like the Sergeant and the AGL are on the same half-sprue so you get a functionally complete squad (although the Chainsword is the weakest option for melee weapons). I guess it calls back to this guy. phandaal and Rhavien 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387868-armageddon-the-space-marine-half/page/12/#findComment-6170819 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than a few MK7 faces and the odd variant chest plate, the Intercessors look the same as the old kit hehe, strangely enough, the greaves on MK X are one of the few things I liked about primaris. Quite fond of the rims. Glad to see the landspeeder making a come back. Is there any comparison with the old ones? I’m assuming it’s most likely bigger like the outrider bikes are compared to orginal bikers. Also happy to see that the primaris/firstborn is again being very much downplayed , with no mention of it by GW themselves from what I can see. The universe is slowly healing.

jaxom Posted Saturday at 11:21 PM Share Posted Saturday at 11:21 PM In my opinion it doesn’t look worse than putting together the push fit assault Intercessors. So mileage may vary based on one’s opinion of push fit assault Intercessors.

01RTB01 Posted Tuesday at 02:04 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:04 PM Speeder is fine. Multi meltas still going to be wounding most vehicles (heavier) on 5s.

redmapa Posted Tuesday at 02:05 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:05 PM Nice, these look like they can be very useful if they are cheap enough, rush in to take pot shots then hide and just be a nuisance. I was expecting them to be in squads of 2 but this is fine. These will be great support for my Sword Brethren, the Speeders move when they shoot and the Sword Bros after the enemy falls back! More movement phases than Eldar!

Casual Heresy Posted Tuesday at 02:24 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:24 PM I will sound like a heretic, but for a long time I was never a huge fan of landspeeders. I liked the model but always found that the rules never excited me. But now? I love the updated model and I love these rules! I can happily see myself fielding multiples to harrass targets from a distance before darting into cover again. I'll defintely be sticking to multi melta and onslaught, A heavy flamer is just too close range for my tastes. The fact I like these rules has also helped with a hobby decision. I'll be painting a good chunk of the launch box as Ultramarine 7th Company. mel_danes 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/387868-armageddon-the-space-marine-half/page/12/#findComment-6171905 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy Techwisp Posted Tuesday at 03:17 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:17 PM Those fly rules look like a buff to me.

What a tweest! All joking aside, I might (MIGHT) be interested in trying out 11th as on the whole it looks like an improvement over 10th. The rules seem a bit more solid and less "gamey" and if they're bringing back even some wargear costs that's gotta count for something. And hey, if nothing else I can use it to meet and then lure people into trying older editions!

AppleCrumble Posted yesterday at 07:02 AM Share Posted yesterday at 07:02 AM The majority of the models in this box are intended for the editions starter sets - so push-fit makes sense. It’s been the same for the past two editions, and with AoS too. I would speculate that the Ork Rig, Banner, Doc and Big Boss are all on one sprue, same for the Ancient, Chaplain and Eradicators, and those will be a ‘Hero’s of the Chapter’ style deal. Which is to say, available in Armageddon, and then a slightly overpriced ‘direct only’ sprue.

Interrogator Stobz Posted yesterday at 07:44 AM Share Posted yesterday at 07:44 AM (edited) Just because they've done it forever doesn't mean people couldn't afford glue I fully puts me off getting those boxed sets, just my opinion held it since the beginning of time. I have bought a couple of minis second hand, bit almost never the whole thing, I like kitbashing and converting and prefer more easily interchangeable bits.

DemonGSides Posted yesterday at 11:34 AM Share Posted yesterday at 11:34 AM Never had an issue customizing push fit models. Just a different tactic to modify compared to multi part kits.
