Heresy Thursday: Plastic Vindicator

 

In this weeks Heresy Thursday we have another tank converted from Forge World Resin into glorious plastic. 

We get the Vindicator with both variant weapon loadouts in the box. Until we get to see the sprues unsure if the weapons will be an easy swap with the use of magnets.

The kit is also supplied with a dozer blade so can see this being used across other kits. 

Really like the look of the mega laser and this was one of the most painful kits that I had the joy of building from Forge World. So looking forward to bringing this into my ever growing Sons of Horus army. 

Heresy Thursday : Despoilers

 

Well they have finally landed we have some variants for the MKVI plastic infantry

GW have shown it in a nice Blood Angel scheme, sadly its not a new plastic frame but will be available through Forge World. 

The pack contains 5 set of arms with chainsword and bolt pistol also a nice power axe and double handed chainsword. So a minimum of 2 packs are going to be needed to make a legal squad. So a pricey unit with the resin upgrades.

However there is light at the end of the article where GW says there are new plastic infantry kits in production. 

Horus Heresy Las Vegas Open Reveal

 

At the Las Vegas Open we have so seen releases up coming releases for 40k , AoS and now we get our turn and its a huge tank killing tank, 

THE CERBERUS!

Ok so its another tank using the multi use Spartan kit, But what not to love HUGE TANK KILLING GUNS and the usual choice of sponsons. I will be honest I was really hoping for some new infantry and I really hope that they are round the corner. But I have secretly wanted a Cerberus for a long time but was never willing to go through the pain of working the kit from Forge World. 

As seen the studio have stayed with the standard Sons of Horus paint scheme, I do hope on the community page that we get to see some other Chapters colour schemes. 

Who else is going to be adding this bad boy to their army?

Heresy Thursday Sky Hunter Squadrons

 Its been a while since I posted anything Horus Heresy Thursday related as the latest reveals have been pretty lack lustered, mostly head and shoulder pads. But finally this week a great addition to those armies that want some skimmers.

Looks like will be 3 in a box armed with heavy bolters as standard but with the options to upgrade to a volkite, melta, or plasma..

What is also nice to see is that there is an arm holding a chainsword. Does this mean we might get the much needed new plastic infantry armed with close combat weapons. Tanks are cool but we need those assault troops to really make a change to the table.

These bikes are going to add a much needed option away from the resin models from FW and i can see some of these heading into my Sons of Horus. But also this might be the start of my new Loyalist army.

Heresy Thursday: Scooby Snacks anyone?

 

This weeks Heresy update brings the Space Wolves some scooby snacks

Like the helemts but cannot see them hitting my bitz box as have no plans for a Space Wolves army.

Heresy Thursday: WOW its a big drop from GW this week

 

This week's Heresy Thursday gives us not 1 but 2 upcoming releases.

The first being a stunning Praetor for the Emperor's Children

The second being an expansion book for Aeronautica Imperialis bringing rules for dogfights and bombing runs in the Heresy era. 

I love the unhelmeted head of this model and it showing where the Emperor's Children have started to experiment with sonic weapons.

The cloak is amazing and I could see this working on other models as I would have thought that the eagle will be a separate piece.

So it is just the teasing drop of images from the Community release today, be nice to see some of the lists available and if we are going to receive any Legion specific rules. 

This is going to give me the motivation to paint up the models from the last starter set released. 

Touchdown Tuesdays: A new Star Player for the Amazon Roster

 

This week on Warhammer Community we get to see the first Amazon Star Player Estelle la Veneaux.

I think the model looks great and will stand out so well from the rest of the Amazon models we have seen so far. Covered in frogs and what looks to be some form of squig, Estellle is a great addition to the Star Player ranks.

Aside from having the Disturbing Prescence and Block special rules, Estelle also has Baleful Hex. Allowing her to Hex an opposition player once per game that is 5 squares away and on a 2+ loses their tackle zone, I see this a a great way of almost garunteeing a touchdown either from Estelle or another close by Amazon player.

Looking forward to seeing what other star players will come out as for the Norse we got 3 and also expect to see pitch, cards, dice and a copy of Spike to complete the release.

Heresy Thursday:White Scars Upgrade Packs

 

This weeks Heresy Thursday brings us the Mark VI helmet and shoulder pads for the White Scars.

I really like the heads and I may well sneak a few of these ibto a Sons of Horus unit for the top knots, and the unhelmeted head would look great on a Character model

Heresy Thursday: YES YES The Leviathan

 Finally my wishes have come true we see more info on the Leviathan. This is going to be split release with the close combat variant coming first then the ranged variant. I think I will have one of each as they are a big points sink for the army.

Both of these variants look really good.

With so much being shown on the upcoming releases I just hope this Sunday we get the next wave of Heresy releases.

My firsttactical squad is now complete and i just need to get some pictures taken. I have also completed my Justarian, MkIII tactical squad , Demos Rhino and a little bit more work to do on the Praetor and then I feel I can start work on my Imperial fists for a change of colour.

Touchdown Tuesday: Amazon's coming to the Grid Iron

 

Over the weekends reveal we got to see images of the new Amazon BloodBowl team, so far no rules sneak peaks but expect to see them over the next few weeks. Yesterday we got to see their first Star Player.......

Boa Kon'ssstriktr he will be mesmerising his way into an endzone near you soon.

With this special rule he looks like a great backfield striker with being able to take possession of the ball from an opposing player on a 2+

Looking forward to seeing more of the Amazon rules

Heresy Thursday on a Friday: Demios Pattern Predator

 

OOOOOOOOHHHHHH Sneaky GW veryh sneaky.

So yesterday we got yet another chapter upgrade for the Emperor's Children.

But today they showed us the new all plastic Demios Pattern Predator. Check the video out below

Looks like a great kit with all the options from Predator Cannon to Graviton Gun. Looks like it should be an easy kit to magnetize for those that like to change their loadouts.

I hope that we do not have to long a wait for these to be released, I think Heresy players are now champing at the bit to get hold of the new kits.

Heresy Thursday: Emperor's Children Upgrade Packs

 

This week's Heresy Thursday sees another set of upgrade packs. This time for the Emperor's Children.

So if you strive for perfection and love the purple and gold armour then these sets are for you. 

Again another light week for sneak peeks from GW, fingers crossed we get something meaty next week. I am looking forward to the preview day at the weekend and seeing what we get for BloodBowl. 

What are you hoping to see?
