If anything, it would definitely be Eldar Aeldari™ in the first place.

The latest fiscal reports are in!

Apparently, HH 2.0 sold as well as AoS, so that must bode well for more plastic goodies this year

Now, where are those Assault infantry plastics..

I really don't see where it says that. There's no breakdown of sales by product line anywhere. The report is definitely positive about HH but there's no numbers.

They have to announce the Cerberus tank, Jetbikes, some resin characters, one or two more upgrade sets, and probably a plastic Deimos Vindicator, Land Speeder, and Xiphon first. Then maybe Assault marines.

Observation I’ve made is that everything release in plakky so far features as colour illustrations in the Libers. And that carries over to the Cerebus and Jetbike.

We’ve also seen the Sabre as part of the Dark Angels. Arquitors also seem likely, as the Sicaran kit has a separate Track sprue, with excess links it doesn’t use. Arquitor has the same size tracks, but a slightly smaller track assembly. So seems an informed guess they’re coming as well.

I can't say I'm too upset about that?

The Land Speeder needs to be plastic as much as Assault Marines do.

Land Speeder Proteus sure, but also Javelins and the transport fliers. Cherry on top for me would be Dreadclaws and Kharybdis Assault Claws

I would love Javelins, but my problem with them and also with Scimitars is that obviously they won't have my legion specific (WS) versions...so actually conversion to plastic doesn't do much for me.

I've already converted a bunch, but that would sure be nice... Breachers, too.

Half the legions desperately need assault marines/despoilers, so here's hoping it's sooner rather than later.

That said, i'm pretty excited for the Cerberus. Plastic Javelin Land Speeders would also be a big buy for me. Those and Assault Marines are basically all I need to complete my Raven Guard army.

The Cerberus gives me hope that we will eventually get the Vindicator Laser Destroyer.

That's a fun one that I want to try out.

Oh yeah, I'm sure it's just a matter of time. Would just be nice if they'd sprinkle in some non-tanks in between all the tanks.

Curiously, a lot of different things can take combi-disintigrators and combi-grenade launchers, but I don't think I've ever seen a bit that GW has produced for those two options...?

I'd think it wouldn't take much converting to get those guns mounted onto a Rhino chassis? Anyways, if GW was smart, they'd design both guns (Cerberus & Typhon) so that creating Rhino versions of the gun sprues would be as straightforward as possible.

Am I the only one bummed they went for a different hull for the Sabre, rather than sticking to the Rhino hull like the original RT era kitbash?

Maybe you are. That wasn't exactly one of the most inspired RT kitbashes...

Rhino hulls and to a lesser extent Raider hulls had more or less reached the maximum extent of variants you could have without becoming redundant; there's only so many weapon loadouts you can cram into the same basic chassis and still have a meaningfully distinct combat role. About a thousand variant Predators, Vindicators and Whirlwinds out to be enough The newer hulls like the Sicaran are a blessing and make for more visually interesting armies.

They also have the advantage of actually looking like dedicated front line combat vehicles rather than repurposed APCs. Even if the fundamental design flaws are the same.

Exodus


Would have preferred a Vigilator, to be honest.

Definitely the silhouetted preview, just in case.

I like the camo cloak

Good news!

Me too. It's nice and subtle.

Sorry Snrub, should have specified "plastic".

Oh well. Good for Alpha Legion. Maybe Raven Guard will get their unique Moritat.

I like the detail of that switch on the rifle (right by his finger) for the 3 different modes for "the instrument".
Although, it would have been nice if he could turn it all the way up to 11.

I assume he’s resin but it would be nice for a confirmation

Almost certainly resin, judging by the sharpness and location of the scales.

Cracking sculpt, hope that the saviours of mankind/sneaky heretic legion are happy with him.

Assuming that Horus Ascended goes on pre order via Forge World tomorrow, do they have a usual GMT release time like the Saturday Games Workshop releases?

10am still, just Friday rather than Saturday.

Exodus is fantastic.

I think they lost the rules for him, whereas Exodus still had rules which was a sure bet he’d be getting a model.

Figures. Raven Guard can't have anything nice for themselves, everyone else gets it.

Alpha Legion stealing stuff from Raven Guard is pretty on-brand, though.

It has 3 profiles?
