Maybe.



Maybe...




Maybe not.

Or we could just stop supporting them. The only way a capitalist is taught a lesson is when sales stop. There are many other fine games on the market, some much cheaper and better supported with rules than Warhammer.

Maybe take that argument to a forum for those better supported games then?

How is that in any way related to what I posted?

You can get pretty good running stances with 2/5 of the new MKVI, specifically the two with the left legs you attach, by simply swapping the designated legs. A little bit of filing / cutting will make the bend more dramatic and the stance believable for someone actually in motion.

Do you have any picts of such conversions? Very interested in any mods to the new MKVI kit models

I don't know how to embed images, so here's a link to some quick pictures I took this morning

https://imgur.com/a/NG45xGW

These are pretty basic and very sloppy conversions, primarily because I didn't have any green / grey stuff on hand to gap fill and don't mind some sloppiness in general line infantry (I'll have 80+ of these mother fethers). But good for a basic idea of what you can get with a relatively simple leg swap and a little bit of cutting.

Much obliged sir! I downloaded your pict and will try to reverse engineer what you did. Left legs are pieces numbered 3, 15, 21 & 28 (whole leg), So I'm assuming you just use the pieces 3, 15 and 21 with the "wrong" torsos..?

Didn't realize imgur was twitching out and only took one picture, so I fixed the link and got the other two.

I'm not sure of the specific part numbers (I actually just matched the pegs / slots originally), but a basic run down is this:

For the left legs, swap them between the only two hip-parts that are missing left legs. Ergo use each one with the other part. File down / cut off the peg / nub in each one that slots onto the respective leg. You can just glue these flat and it'll look alright. Alternatively you can cut the left leg a bit, basically removing the 'joint' section from the part which is connected to the torso, and then attach the leg. Doing so will give you a more dramatic sweep and show greater movement / momentum. You can even cut farther up / deeper for more, but it'll start to look super tacky if you go to far.

For the one which has no feet (the one on the left in the images), use the appropriate right 'foot'. I never found a reason to swap that out or modify it, as it's basically perfectly suited for looking like it's running already.

Yes, the lesson they will learn when sales stop is "theres no demand for this product, discontinue everything" - which is the opposite of what we actually want to occur.

Horus Ascended. Coming next year from FW, in resin.



NOVA Open Reveals – The Warmaster Is Ascendant in His Monstrous New Model

So Emps is absolutely next up in the character series, isn't he?

Nah, there’s like four or five “ascended” primarchs yet unless they decide to use the plastic daemon primarchs for them instead.

Five? Well,

this model is the first in a new Character Series from Forge World, representing each of the Primarchs at the height of the Heresy – whether they’re fully under the sway of Chaos, or rallying to defend the Imperium in its darkest hour – giving us a fresh look at the driving characters of this epic saga as they lead their Legions into the biggest battles.

10 years until we see Khan on his jetbike...

I always wanted a model of Ferrus's headless corpse strewn on the battlefield!

So.....we doing all the loyalist Primarchs but now they're looking angry? Althought I would like to see fallen-but-not-yet-a-demon-prince versions of Lorgar and Morty

The only thing I don't like about that model is the base. Would've preferred the steps inside the Vengeful Spirit, no doubt to match an equally chonky Emperor mini.

Otherwise it's simply fantastic.

Edit: wrong thread lmao

Hmm. Ascended Daemon Primarchs. We’ve pretty much got 3 out of 4 Big Boys in plastic, and let’s face it Fulgrim is all but a given in those stakes.

Not sure how I feel about Normal, Resin Daemon and Plastic Daemon ones. I mean, Angry Ron in particular is clearly and noticeably informed by his Heresy mini.

It'll be interesting to see what, if anything, they do to throw Iron hands players a bone during this series - it ain't like they're going to want to buy "Ferrus Manus' decapitated corpse" as a figure, after all.

Yeah, I worry that if they do more ascended Primarchs they'll start with the main 4.

I'd rather they stick to Logar, Peturabo and... umm... would anyone else have ascended beyond those two? Conrad died. I doubt Alpharius would have. So really just those two.

Emperor's Children player might.

No doubt that when the Emperor is released thay'll also have a super special limited bundle of both him and Horus together with a unique diorama base like they did for Sanguinius so he could later be posed with Ka'Bandha

Konrad was still around at the Siege I thought? Always been my understanding he didn’t let himself get all assassinated until at least The Scouring?

If they're talking height of the Heresy, that would seem to rule out Kurze and Alpha/Omega as Daemon Princes, though not as models - did Perty and/or Lorgar go DP during the Heresy or afterwards, though? My memory of their timelines are a bit fuzzy.

I would expect to see a bit more of an impressive, Chaos-fueled Lorgar this time around, though - never really been a fan of Lorgar's series 1 sculpt.

Looking forward to the updated Siege of Terra version of Dorn, chainsmoking and on a scenic base littered with used Adderall bottles.

IH are my legion. Am I sad that I won´t get a new Primarch? Nope cuz they are stupidly expensive. In addition I like to use non-special characters in HQ slots. So in the end I am not missing out on anything.

I'm looking forward to the Ghost of Ferrus appearing during the siege to kick ass so they can justify making a model for him

I doubt we'll see the big 4 in resin. As you say, Angron is clearly influenced by his Heresy art and both Magnus and Mortarion have Heresy art that is just their plastic 40K models.

I love the model but I can't help but giggle a bit that they have to primarisize the original primarch.

To be fair, only forgeworld models are so tiny. Especially the original Horus Heresy marines lol

I stayed up until 3 AM just to find out there won't be any more HH plastics for months.

This is my take as well, minus the staying up late.

It's a cool model, but is worthless outside of to SoH players and "collectors".

Whelp, guess it's back to relying on 3rd party 3D printed bits.
