Psychic Tuesday 15-09-15 plastic Horus Heresy Zone Mortalis?

Better later than never!!! :-)

So I came across the WDW teaser for next next week and it mentions Zone Mortalis, Interesting :-)

What if the upcoming plastic heresy starter box set is in fact a stand alone Zone Mortalis game :-)

Rumours are that the box set is set between ultramarine vs word bearers and is set in space in Ultrama

So a zone Mortalis style game is not out of the realms of possibility 

See you next week!!

Psychic Tuesday 08-09-15 Horus Heresy Starter Set (Thoughts)

Macragge Honour Artwork

With the imminent release of the plastic Horus Heresy Starter Set, a thought crossed my mind that no one is talking about.

I was thinking that the Starter set will be more like the age of sigmar and dark vengeance starter sets, with models that are (snap fit) rather than multi part. many people might think that this is not the case as some leaked images of multi part model sprues are all over the internet. This is not the definitive proof that the started set is only multi part , just look at the age of sigmar release, there is the main snap fit starter set, but there is also a lot of multi part model sets that have come out since the original set.

I would like this to be the case with the Horus Heresy box set and would keep the price down to the same as age of sigmar and dark vengeance.

This would act as a good starting point for any armies.

This would hopefully lead to a similar release schedule like age of sigmar that would see multiple box set of different armour sets, contemptor dreadnoughts and tanks etc.

Looking forward to see where this is going

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).

Psychic Tuesday 28-07-15 AOS for Life

Me outside Warhammer World yesterday (27-07-15)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Images of the New Age of Sigmar display at Warhammer World

 So Yesterday was My Birthday (I won't tell you how old) and while traveling back from a few days holiday in the Peak District me and the wife stop off at WARHAMMER WORLD, Nottingham. and the first thing you notice is that they have changed the statue to the front of the main building from a space marine to a gold plated Sigmarite. this is a sure sign that GW are really investing deeply in the Age of Sigmar, they even have a AOS display as part of the Exhibition area. the models for the new box set are so damn good and good value.

So did I get any information or observations in the time I was there, Firstly if you ever get the chance to visit I would highly recommend it (best to go when there is no event as you have unlimited time to look at the models) I notice that Nagash and a couple of Undead models were not on display, so this could indicate that they were being photographed and there could be a AOS undead suppliment coming in the near future. there were no new AOS models mixed into any displays so they are keeping thinks tightly under raps. also having seen the leaked pics of Horus heresy plastics that very morning i had some covert conversations with the Forge world shop staff and they seem to indicate indirectly that November could be a interesting month.

see you next time.

The Unintentional Consequence of Age of Sigmar!!

With the release of the Age of Sigmar version of Warhammer, there has been a unforeseen consequence in the Gaming Industry. Just before the release of the the new game, a lot of my local Independent stockist didn't like the lack of information coming from GW Prime and decided that now was the time to stop selling GW. Another Consequence of this was that a lot of these stores have been doing 2-1 deals or 50% off deals to clear there stock, and I've been busy buying all the best stock I can at discount prices while I can :-)

So good hunting to you all, hope you find a bargain :-)

The Warp has been calm this week so there is no regular psychic Tuesday, see you next Tuesday :-)
