How am I supposed to buy important things like bread when this exists.

After the SW praetor glow up, can we get a lovely IH Praetor in TDA and a White Scars Praetor on Jetbike?

I could have sworn they already had one, but I must be thinking of the Golden Keshig Champion...

That still reads to me as Jetbike Praetor.

I read it as squad sergeant myself.

One day they'll remember World Eaters exist. One day.

Salamanders and raven guard have it worse. They don’t even have a named character available let alone praetors

Well they do have Primarchs if you count those.

Cassian Dracos got dropped like a hot potato so the 1 we had...is no more

Book & box next weekend!

Sunday Preview – New Releases Abound from the Age of Darkness

The new wave of Horus Heresy plastic will be up for pre-order next weekend. You can either get it all in a bundle or just buy the Mk3s or Deredo separately

FYI - It's another "fortnight pre-order window" - "Everything below will be available to pre-order for two weeks, from 10am BST on Saturday the 14th of October.".

So this Deredeo ("Anvilus Configuration") comes with the Anvilus autocannon battery & Hellfire plasma cannonade options - no mention of the top.

Let's gooo

I'm interested to see what the corrupted EC rules are.

Im curious to see if the Legiones Astartes Battlegroup is a limited release set or if its going to be treated like a "Combat Patrol" box and remain part of the range.

I am too.

And with both new kits releasing standalone simultaneously, I expect the discount to be pretty good.

According to the FW FB answer person its a limited run.

I'll have one Deredeo and one sprue of the new MKIII thx

Something tells me this stuff shoulda been inside the AoD box if Horus Heresy fans would have been given a choice to take this over the MKVI..

Hmm. Brace of Deredeo for me, I think.

Yep, just saw confirmation it is limited. Oh boy. My wallet. This is going to be a week that hurts between the book, the box (ideally 3 of them >.> ), the commemorative Votann, the Dark Coil collection, and the Rogue Trader reprint.

MkVI was needed IMO. Doing Mk3 again is a misstep, no matter how much I like the models themselves, but if GW had redone Mk3 first I think there would have been more ill will.

The more Marks the merrier

Yeah, agreed. Mk6 is my least favorite mark of power armor, but I'm not unhappy that they chose to launch 2.0 with it. In reality, I think I would have reacted more negatively if they had launched with resculpted mk3 or mk4 first as it would have felt like a bit more of a money grab, whereas mk6 left me feeling more passive about it all, and now that I've seen the benefits of the mk6 scale I actually *want* resculpted mk3/4 (and 2 and 5).

Kind of wish I hadn’t built my Volkite squad now, as I think MkIII is incredibly well suited to that weapon.

But, I do have 10 flamers, and the smaller Volkite on sprue.

Hmmm. Have I just talked myself into a box?

Same, as long as the others marks actually have other poses...

If you get two big boxen you'll have an extra special weapon kit

I’ve got…erm….110 MkVI, maybe more. I don’t need 40 MkIII

Though they would also look cool with Heavy Bolters, which I also


DAMMIT STOP THAT! Dirty boy, in your bed, on your rug!

They won't because they'll be designed to work with the universal weapon kits just like these are.

Can't wait to get my hands on those corrupted EC rules!

I'm using the MK 3 for things like despoiler squads and breachers, and the MK 6 for basic tac squads and weapon squads

I understand each of those words individually but they make no sense in that combination
