Interesting take on Spyrers.

Would have liked scavvies rather than these mutated stealers. But they do look good

Canoness unhelmeted head (one with respirator) looks better IMO.

Mutant Genestealers? But I already have too many Genestealers to field, why would I buy more? Because the models are cool of course!

Depending on price and how they are sold I'd be tempted to want 1 squad of them to field alongside my Tyranids - and I bet GSC fans want them too for some visual flavour!


The Mechanicus in plastic look very neat, gives me yet more hope of seeing them in epicscale

Wow, so the Spyrers are both Orrus. I can't wait to see the other variants. I just hope they are all in plastic.

Ha!

Well, as I play Necromunda and Horus Heresy and GSC and Adeptus Mechanicus (and Mechanicum later) were my main armies for 40k (long before they got their codices), this preview is almost perfect for me. Not for my wallet though...

I've got to say I like every model they've shown. The Necro-stealers are awesome. My wife will be happy there is new sisters of battle. My hope is that with these new genestealer cultists, the new Votann Kill Team will be released around the same time.

Oh and of course some tasty Mechanicum which I will definitely be using for 40k. If I ever get round to playing and painting them of course..

50% guard allies Kan! 50%!

What a review! I was thinking to myself "dayum, I could totally mess with this" on every 28mil reveal box. I dont think this has ever happened to me before..

Mechanicum are to die for. Even the GSC battleforce has all the units I love about the army.

LI was the least bit interesting of the bunch. The new Campaign sounded introguing though

Also, perhaps to some of you the presentation lacked energy, but I for one wasn't feeling awkward for a second while watching this one. Zero manchild gushing and seeing the finished products in addition to the promo picts was great. Wish they would have upped production value a touch and made some closeup camera runs to the models on the table, that's how I'd improve on this format

EDIT: Missed the SoB box reveal. That one I can live without thx

Like I said, there better be some genuinely meaningful restrictions now.

Yes sir, I like it!

Super happy with the Plasticification of the Mechanicum. Having the meat and bones in plastic has neatly brought it into Affordable Enough for me.

Necromunda is chef’s kiss.

Legions Imperialis, I finally get my Light Armour options. Again, happy with that.

40K I’m not fussed for. The two models are nice enough, but I’m not sure I’m gonna return to that game any time soon.

New GSC cultists or gangers are great.

i hope they let us take named guard characters in the new codex

anyway as far as i'm concerned, i won today. five detachments in the codex is more than i expected, the new character is new, the new necromunda stuff is great... huge fan of all of this. wanna get the new GSC CP and the new necromunda box. possibly in multiples for both

There isn't a chance that named guard characters will be in any flavour of Brood Brothers rules.

yeah but it would be really funny

They're being a troll. Just ignore and move on.

Remember: the flying Canoness isn't really new. It's just an option which GW took away which they're now reintroducing (with added weapon restrictions).

The plastic Mechanicum is really cool but I can't not be annoyed they still haven't shown the promised plastic marine melee weapons for Heresy.

Well I am bit confused as in are GSC getting upgrade sprue similar to Cadian one or is just there going to be some guides for making conversions.

Bah, the savings on that GSC combat patrol are probably going to be equal to the cost of those damn Acolytes that I don't need any more of!

Excellent reveals. The mutated genestealers definitely wasn't something I saw coming. Really tempted to get those, and perhaps later expand them into a small GSC cult 40K force with this weird theme.

And yeah, I really wish as well that the Mechnicum stuff would be usable in 40K, but given recent trends, that seems unlikely. Though I was already thinking what 40K models these can be converted into. Castellax can obviously become Kastellans, and the thralls are an excellent basis for servitors. Turning the Thallax into Kataphron might seem like a stretch, but I think it could work...

both. the upgrade sprue is for kill team

You are right but I still hope for a proper Servitor kit for 40k.

Oh I completely forgot that one!

The "hunchback with spikes" look is terrible for the fantasy undead stuff, and it's terrible for the necromunda genestealers, too.

Come on GW, you have 30 years of better ideas for mutations. These are just plain awful.

Love the plastic Mechanicum. Surprised it’s so quick after Solar Auxilia but very happy to see it.

Mutated Stealers are sick!

Well, yes.

But genstealers are hunched anyway!

Surely they don’t hamstring the sales potential of those gorgeous Mechanicum models by locking them to heresy only, do they?

Nothing hugely surprising for LI but I like the tanks revealed.

I really like the Cannoness model, and I’m tempted to try and get hold of the battle force for all the jump pack units on offer.

Hope the poor exorcist gets a bump in weapon strength though. Sisters really lack anti-armour.

They specifically cut Servitors out of AdMech.
