How you want your superheavy, fam?

Well said, chaps.

New dread sucks (contemptor and leviathan coincidentally suit the aesthetic of the new marines better).

The imperial hover tanks really oughtta be limited to custodes. The new marine hover tanks look bad in my opinion and go against the ethos of the imperium at large.

>ethos of the imperium at large.

The ethos of the Imperium is to sell miniatures for Games Workshop.

Never forget the order that the studio makes things.

Model - >Rules ->Lore.

vs FW who generally does:

Lore->Rules->Model.

Looks like a primaris-sized piece of shit.

>How you want your superheavy, senpai?

In 6mm. Where it belongs.

Still got my Matchbox Land Raider somewhere. And Gee Dubs totally ripped off the Battle-fortress rear of it for the original 40K Land Raider design.

GW are you intentionally retarded or basic marketing is not a thing in the UK?

I need plastic Aspect Warriors dammit!
Warp spiders, Phoenix lords and the Avatar came out in 2nd ed, Swooping hawks, Guardians, Falcons and Shining spears came out in 3rd, and every other aspect came out in 4th.

its so tiny and undetailed, why would I want to play that when I can get he same at an actually good size without having to jump through hoops at odd fan stores

Because you’re retarded.

that does not answer my question directed at you about your tastes

Please point out where you questioned the user’s tastes?

Even as someone with solely IoM armies, and having started with Blood Angels, I'm so goddamn sick of all these new marine releases. I won't be buying any Primaris Marines or affiliated products. Heck, they should have just brought in a new pattern of power armor and marines with a "cleaned" geneseed instead of this whole new breed of marines and wargear.
Utter heresy, in-game and out-of-game.

I think is confusing having a questionable opinion with asking a question.

...

let me rephrase, why do you like a game with tiny under detailed models where you cant make characters out of the army, and have to hunt down obscure providers and communities to play?

>New dread sucks
Apparently it's a technically-great kit, more posable than ever in an era of monopose infantry, but yeah, it looks stupid. Legs too small and thin, awkward top. I don't get it.

well we're not all part of the super secret Epic 30K handshake scene and can actually get our hands on all that 6mm gorgeousness.

I am jealous.

It's silhouette vaguely reminds me of the Scorpion tank from Halo

Because for 6mm models, they are very detailed. The game rules are excellent and I have easy access to the model provider. I have a group of about 10 people who have fully painted armies and play regularly. Not sure why you think making characters is a big deal but now you’re just comparing apples to oranges. Epic isn’t about characters but grand scale battles.

absolutely disgusting model

Is this why Fires of Cyraxus was delayed? To shoe horn in Primaris bullshit?

A METAL BOX

because regular 40k clearly also provides gran scale, and I have no access to any of these 6mm providers, let alone a community where 85% of table top is magic the fucking gathering and 40k is barely played and I need to catch a fucking bus to even get to where its played near me!!

maybe Im just salty....

Sorry you’re salty user.

Yes.

Those god damn mother fuckers...

So will the Imperium be on the brink of defeat until the Primaris Red Scorpions arrive to save the day?

GW has made plenty of new plastic non marine models. And none of them sold as well as marines. You "GW doesn't make them so they don't sell" fags are fucking retards.

Bligh was dying. Forgeworld had and still has loads of problems. Apparently, even mechanicak problems, one of their injection machines broke or some shit like that.

So they can't produce as much shit, their main writer is dead and all their product line is in shambles because of delays out of the wazoo.

This is the only proper answer.

I’m hoping it’s just Primaris marines and AdMech taking a shit all over Tau with it not even being a close fight.

What’s Warwick Kinrade up to nowadays?

Ugh, more primaris-sue cawl-shit.

Well the NuImperium doesn't want or need undesirables like you anyway. Get out. Female Space Marines in FoC! You heard it here first

WHERE DO YOU GET THIS SHIT!!!! I WANT IN DAMMIT!

Hell if I know man. I have to admit I haven't kept up with Forgeworld after Bligh's death. Inferno was supposed to keep the HH alive until 8th hit the shelves, but it all went downhill from here.

All I know is that they have Titanicus brewing, coming out next year I think, and that French will very probably be the main writer for Forgeworld now. I just hope he can be as good as Bligh. I would have argued Wraight is a better writer but Frency is probably more on top of things in terms of 30k fluff.

heh, if we wanted you in the community you'd be in it

They are all scratch builds using tin foil, wire and plasti card.

why do you have to be secret club over a game?

Because selling this shit is illegal as fuck?

>innovation is heresy

welp, guess its time to purge the Salamanders with all of their blinged out custom wargear

nice try GW, you know exactly why

Maybe it's just the meta around me, but do superheavies ever survive the first turn in your games?

Their wargear is custom but based on STC or Emperor approved designs. Cawl litteraly made new stuff. Salamanders just have enough resources and knowledge for everyone to maximise their existing wargear's potential.

im not GW I just want to play....

why? this isn't drugs or weapons, its fucking toy models

Fires of Cyraxus was delayed because FW threw a shitfit when GW included a volkite weapon in 40k. With FW soon under closer control by GW with the restructuring brought on by Bligh's passing this might change, but with nearly all sculptors shifted over to Specialist Games and no writer this might still take a while.

Look up "Intellectual Property".

GW will bust your cheeks for selling models based off their IP.

That is not really the problem, the real problem is that there are sacks of trash out there that who get a hard on from reporting people that make and sell the models.

It is very much like drugs, you cannot just sell them to anyone or even tell anyone that you can sell them.

You have to know someone that knows someone.

I know it sucks...

That's not true at all.

I hate recastfags but you're fucking stupid

Illegal is illegal it doesn't matter if it's not guns or drugs you fucking dipshit a laws a law you don't get to just choose

If that's the same base as a repulsor, its really about baneblade size rather than mastodon sized. Couple that with standard hatch sizes and its probably going to be in the 175 GBP price range, I'm betting.

As far as rules go, there are clearly void shield nodes on the sides and the turret looks like an autocannon battery of some sort.

The turrets seem like flamers? meltas?

Clearly double heavy bolter in the front.

I hope they drop this thing from orbit like those Inceptors.

in Dark Imperium they airdrop repulsors, which is cool as fuck.

That tank looks like shit. God damnit Forgeworld sucks lately.

Everything is "let's take a GW plastic kit BUT MAKE IT BIGGER!"

No one ever says marines don't sell, what people are bitching is other crap still sell, for fuck sake IG and Nids out sold the rest during 2015 and they sucked ass during that time rules wise.

It looks like it would fit in very well on Cloudbase from Captain Scarlet.

I don't know, I kinda dig it, I just think it doesn't really suit 40k very well.

Might be a sweet excuse to make an Admech Flesh-Crawler, though. Glorious rolling bastion of the Omnissiah.

Remember when tech-priests had to strip anti-grav plates from old satellites in order to make Landspeeders, because the knowledge of how to make them was lost? With them being rare as fuck as a result, so rare only marines could get them?

NuGW can lick my snatch, I refuse to buy nuMarine shit, and refuse to play opponents who bring nuMarine shit in their list.

>its so tiny and undetailed

The purpose of 6mm is to allow players to fight large battles at more realistic ground scales. You can fit 1000 infantry,100 tanks, and 10 titans on one table without it being a ridiculous case of lining up table edge to table edge and having all the Titans shooting at targets right at their feet.

If this doesn't appeal to you, there's always 28mm.

>You can fit 1000 infantry,100 tanks, and 10 titans on one table without it being a ridiculous case of lining up table edge to table edge and having all the Titans shooting at targets right at their feet.

That's legitimately what happens in epic 40k at a game size that big.

And the purpose of miniatures is the models.

>That's legitimately what happens in epic 40k at a game size that big.

It's a typical game of epic 1/2e on an 8x4 table, before infantry stands doubled in frontage.

5 companies and 2 titan battlegroups per side is not ridiculous, and it doesn't get crowded.

I mean you could try and arrange all your stands in a continuous line across the table, but why in the world would you do that?

Plus not everyone plays with those oversized "truescale" titans.

>And the purpose of miniatures is the models.

Then by your logic, 28mm is objectively inferior to 54mm. And why play 54mm when you could use 1/16 or 1/6?

Don't you dare say "there's no 54mm GW" because you should drop Citadel miniatures and go out and start playing WWII or modern combat at 1/35 scale.

Look at this retard.

true scale titans still fit on the same bases the original titans came with.

My guess is it'll be more priced more comparably to the Mechanicum Ordinatus so around 285.

While I would like them to I just don't see them selling this for around the same price as a Cerastus Knight.

>

100 leman russes, 1000 infantry and 10 titans is way bigger than 2000 points.

Its only because I don't think its that big, but I bet there will be a *new thing* premium to it, so maybe 200.

>100 leman russes, 1000 infantry and 10 titans is way bigger than 2000 points.

2000 pts may be the standard for Epic Armageddon, but it was certainly not the way to play 2e. No scarcity of minis due to the game being OOP, no community obsessed with sparse battlefields with a few companies operating on a divisional front.

Plus I said 1000 infantry, 100 tanks, and 10 titans for both sides combined.

You could literally field 5 marine companies with rhinos + land raiders and support with just the stuff from the starter set and 2 x 12.99 "space marine legion" boxes, and 29.99 box of 6 plastic warlords. People had plenty of minis and they wanted to use them.

>tfw mummy won't buy you the newest super gi marine action command vehicle with real warped resin brick action for christmas

Because GW doesn't make 54mm, and the detail loss from 28mm to 6mm is far greater than the detail gained from 28mm to 54mm.

If you didn't play at all, you would absolutely go for 54mm if it came to details and painting and modelling. Why you think serious modelers use military and Gundam instead of 40k?

>"WHY DON'T YOU JUST LESS THAN DOUBLE THE SCALE"
>as an argument in response to "YOU SHOULD JUST USE A SCALE MORE THAN FOUR TIMES AS SMALL"

Why do you think GW made Primaris.

>Plus I said 1000 infantry, 100 tanks, and 10 titans for both sides combined.

500 infantry, 50 tanks and 5 titans is still an enormous, game. Mostly the 50 tanks and 5 titans.

>It looks like some old G.I. Joe toy from the 90s with some bits thrown on.
This is an increasingly accurate description of 8th in general. It's way past a joke.

So, am I the only one who sees the alt mode of some sort of transforming robot? Like, those bits on the front clearly form the feet.

It transforrms into a giant Primaris Inceptor. The nose hover plates are just his giant ski treads.

>(muffled "Do You Remember Love?" in the distance)

GWs move towards gi Joe like action figures instead of miniatures suddenly makes sense if they are trying to appeal to braindead nappy wearers like you.

Do you even understand what you're saying anymore?

>God damnit Forgeworld sucks lately.

Alan Bligh died for this.

>insulting others' intelligence when he failed to realize they've already made the move years ago with Stormcast, AoS, Centurions, Stormfiends

You're just the one who has caveman level IQ and reading comprehension. The mention of Primaris should have made the context obvious. You ask why GW doesn't make larger models like 54mm if details and larger miniatures is more important, when that's exactly what they've been doing with scale creep and Primaris.

>Because GW doesn't make 54mm
I've got news for you....

>Why you think serious modelers use military and Gundam instead of 40k?

Why does Bandai make RG 1/144 when 1/100 MGs exist?

Why do serious military modelers buy 1/72 and 1/48 kits instead of just 1/35?

Look, you CLEARLY do not care for the nuances of ground/model scale for WARGAMES so there's no point in talking aesthetic preferences. No one ever disputed that 6mm GW (legal or otherwise) is less detailed than a 28mm FW kit.

>>Because GW doesn't make 54mm
>I've got news for you....
What news? Inquisitor's been out of production for ages.

Its going to be closer to the size of a Mastodon in length at least.

Look at the munitorum containers. It appears to be about 2.5ish containers in length. I can't find the exact length of a container but based on a video they appear to be close to 5 inches so roughly the same length as a Rhino.

>What news? Inquisitor's been out of production for ages.

So is Epic.

3000 is the standard for Epic Armageddon, and for that much you might get 50 tanks and no infantry, or 1000 infantry and no tanks. That's Imperial Guard; it's obviously a lot less with marines.
