Horus Heresy Plastics "Thoughts"

Horus Heresy Loyalist Legions

Finally been able to escape the Warp and return to real space, It might seem like I haven't posted anything for a few week, I reality I been struck in the warp for years, and come back with tales of what I have seen.

as many of you have seen there are a few pic leaks of the upcoming plastic HH release, they seem to show a veteran tactical squad in mk4 armour and two character models one mk4 chaplain and one Catactractii terminator.

In my travels through the warp I have seen images of additional units that maybe within the boxset.

My Personal feelings is that there will be two sets of Identical marine forces within the starter boxset of the following, 1x 10 man veteran tactical squad (able to be constructed as normal 10 tact legion squad) 1 x 5 Catathratii legion squad (with standard weapon options) and either the mk4 or Catathratii special character, this would prob work out as 8plus sprues and would be the same amount as whats in size the age of sigmar boxset.

soon after release there will be plastic sets (prob 10 man) veteran tactical squads in mk3 and also mk6
and separate releases of mk4 squad and Catathratii legion squad. I also feel there will be a plastic Contemptor dreadnought and plastic full kit versions of 30k style rhinos and predators.

In terms of gaining evidence for the above I feel that the plastic mk6 would be easier to produce than mk4 and mk5 armour also there isn't a legion version of mk6 squad like mk3 and mk4 so would indicate that this is already been throught about for quite a while, the hardest set would be the production of mk3 in plastic as there isn't much reference pieces for mk3 in plastic unlike the other marks of armour.

Plastic contemptor dreadnoughts would be quite simple to achieve and looking at the plastic mechanicam robots they have a base model half way there already.

Plastic predator and rhino full kits should also be quite easy to achieve as well.

So its all looking good for the plastic 30k release, roll along October!!

Who watches the Deathwatch!! psychic Tuesday 04-08-15

Space Wolf Deathwatch Space Marine

"Over the past couple of nights my mind has been full of images of unique black clad space marines all with varying chapter icons, so it seems that the Deathwatch are on the horizon!! "

Rumours are abound that there is a stand alone Deathwatch game coming out and an interesting side note is that this will be space marines vs Genestealer cults (internet rejoices). this rumour is validated by all the Deathwatch independent video games hitting the market and also the number of stories coming from Black library.

from a model point of view a stand alone game similar to the recent Assassin box set could work well and this could be validated by the recent chapter upgrade sprues, they would only need to add a generic Deathwatch sprue to the set and that would be quite a good start to a Deathwatch set.

It looks like GW are listening to us gamers and actually giving us what we want (Happy Times).
