Mastodon does the Curtain Wall. Siege Leviathan becomes Mr Handy Door, followed by Breachers, ready to sweep the side rooms.
Much like how I'd sell a testicle for a Plastic Fellblade/Glaive kit, a Plastic Mastodon would be an auto-buy for me. Probably two of them. I wouldn't even bother looking at the price, just take my wallet and go.
and remember folks your FLGS/online supplier may get the separate weapon sprue for the launch (fingers crossed) but it's highly likely to go direct only immediately after launch

Either way need 1-2 hulls and both weapon sprues.
I’ve already got 2 resin leviathans with all weapons except siege drill and melta. One is built as an iron hand in the Deathwatch, and the other isn’t built yet.
Can’t see myself needing more than two already, but I don’t know if I can help myself lol
I like the shoulder armor plates because I can easily cut some cog shapes into it for Iron Hands. Could also easily extend them all the way back with green stuff or plasticard or miliput for the full effect.

Sweet baby emperor, don’t tempt me with a plastic mastodon. That’s one of those kits I could never, ever justify buying in resin, but if they made a plastic one I’d be in trouble.
Looks great, properly chonky like it would Hulk Smash it's way through a wall, or a tank, or just about anything.
Also, excitingly, my copy of the base game has finally been shipped. After waiting more than 3 weeks for Element to get the new stock in and send me my copy, I managed to instead get a copy from Wayland who bafflingly just have a bunch of them instock and dispatched it same day. So Element order cancelled and hopefully a box full of beakies is on the way soon!

I had one a few years back that I purchased from... "a dude" online. It was a nightmare for my friend to build for me, but God when it was done, that thing was incredible. I wish I'd not sold it.

Dreadnought fever is a serious condition, it is a natural mutation from Kanfever, leading to symptoms such as:
- empty wallet.
- empty fridge
- death through pile of shame avalanche.
- Wife taking the kids and leaving.
- Pile of grey shame.

Do you want to develop existing games for the Specialist Design Studio ranges and design new ones from the ground up?
Are you excited about working collaboratively within a studio of professional miniatures designers, artists and writers to produce new rules for games set in the The Horus Heresy setting?
Within the Specialist Design Studio, writers, editors, miniatures designers and artists all work together collaboratively under the direction of the Product Design Managers. The Games Developer role is a key position within an integrated, multidisciplinary process of end to end product design.
In this role you will be responsible for creating all types of rules and background content for Warhammer: The Horus Heresy and any future games set in the Age of Darkness . You will be expected to take a top level design brief and, under the eye of the team’s lead writer, turn it into a finished set of rules or background, coordinating any playtesting and interacting with other teams within the Specialist Design Studio.
To be successful in this role, you will have in-depth knowledge of the Horus Heresy setting, and specifically the Warhammer: The Horus Heresy wargame. Ideally, you will have gaming or publishing industry experience, but if this is not the case and you are offered a position, this will be at the Trainee level where you will learn the ropes under the supervision of the lead writer.
This is a busy role and we need someone who can deliver and support exciting rules that fulfil the product brief, to a tight deadline. If you enjoy getting involved in the detail and will relish the challenge of taking responsibility for the quality of published material, we want to hear from you!

They should hire that guy who keeps making helpful criticism/suggestion videos on youtube. He's obviously very passionate about the game and I found his videos to be helpful as someone peripherally following the game.

You lucky son of a gun! Wives usually set a man´s miniature collection on fire before they leave.

Kink shaming is not cool. Some people just like Dreadnoughts. And an empty fridge is actually a BENEFIT because it's a natural lightbox roomy enough to take pictures of DREADNOUGHTS.

This is exactly why I'm not a fan of separating this stuff, it's the same with AT titans. On the one hand it's nice that you can get them separately, but why not just include everything in one box . At least you can buy the model from your FLGS with a discount and only have to get the overpriced weaponsprue from GW I suppose.
Albertorius wrote: Particularly DLC that they only sell direct with no possible discounts.
In the UK/EU FLGSs can order Direct Only items (Goblin Gaming's Direct Only category, for example), with the discount and minimum order size varying by account. Is it not the same in the US?

Not every store can provide discount as margin is so small it's practically breakeven even without discount. Customer service rather than straight profit.
Also gw sends those really sporadically so i can be waiting for month even if i order via flgs

Not the US, Spain (not sure why the flag shows as such), and no. I mean, they probably can, but they usually won't. And if they do, it is with no discount. So not any better than buying direct.

Compared to them not being available at all, though?
No, not even then. GW prices are already stupid high as it is, we don't really need DLC on top of it.
Particularly DLC that they only sell direct with no possible discounts.
TBF, compared to say Havocs or Devastators (which players tend to want equip with the same weapons for specialisation reasons), ironically the Weapon sprues are cheaper.
F.e. full lascannon havoc squads requires me to buy 2 havoc squads at 50 CHF each. so 100 for "1 full" squad (nvm reaper chaincannons.)
for that i can get 20 69 CHF mark VI and a sprue of special weapons/ heavy weapons at 37.50. for 6.5 CHF more.
If i want 15 Havocs with lascannons then the math gets even more lopsided.
Granted however in HH you are kinda forced to bulk buy but is that a negative?
