Gorgeous range, but some weirdly dissimilar sculpts in there, but I'm more worried about the price. If it comes in at the same sort of price point as the rest of the range, this will be too expensive by a country mile.
Edit: Just so I don't have to type it again, when I talk about Malcador squadrons, I'm referring to the Tercio system where you can get a command tank and multiple squadrons of Leman Russ tanks for a single heavy support slot totaling 10 tanks with a buff on the command vehicle, vs the Malcador in a squadron of 3.
That dozer wouldn't look like that three days into service, the crew would modify it with scrap so fast. I will get plastic Malcadors though it is ny favorite tank and where about to play 7.5
HH, love the models, hate the game
My only real negative on the sculpts is that the posing is not quite as dynamic. They're a bit less detailed but I actually really like the overall look
I do like that they cut down on the greebles from the resin Aux. They had just too much going on for their size. This trimmed down version just feels better.
I usually don't like anything that stems away from the Sentinel style (the one circa 2,000 not the original completely open one) but you know what? I actually really dig the Sentinel.
It has heavy Iron Harvest vibes and I think the way its moving (like its really trudging forward, heavy and industrial) looks awesome.
Where can we find your publicly available 3-D files?
Thanks for the review. Man, I do like the idea of malcadors. Yet those prices are crazy, 5k for auxila army or maybe 300 for a custodes force. At those prices better just buy some Titans.
Isn't the Demolisher cannon quite good? Str 13 AP3, Ordnance, Sunder, Brutal(3)?
I'd be willing to bet they are on the new 28mm bases that the eldar use now
A till is pretty much a good fit for a mine plough, if we just say it's that rather than a real dozer.
For the Malcador, it doesn't have a 'best' armour facing. It's AV13/13/12. So the idea is to angle it and shoot the casement gun, front gun and one of the side guns at something. For the Solar Auxilia, Independent Fire Control allows you to shoot at something else with a battle weapon at -1BS.
Admittedly, for the Solar Auxilia, if you take the Flare Shield then your Front AV goes back to quasi-AV14, so it matters in that case if you want to pay the points
as far that i can tell its just upcaled of the models of imperalaus
I will not lie, depending on price, I might pick them up and use them as Steel Legion in 40k. I do very much like the look, but, as is always the case when talking about Games Workshop, we need to know the price. It's always nice to know ahead of time if I'll need to sell a kidney to be able to afford the plastic/resin crack.
The new hunter killer missile looks more like an m48 recoil less rifle shell than a missile, as in the back half is just a protective casing for the motor and fins while the warhead is just to top half
I'd love a stl upgrade kit for the trackguards that look like the ones on the Aurox!
At the 4:00 minute mark, he reminds me of the Cave Troll from Jackson’s LOTR Fellowship Of The Ring when he gets wounded enough to stop fighting, puts his finger in his mouth, and looks around confusedly just before he falls dead on Frodo. That was oddly specific 🤔
Might be that they're on 28.5's if i recall some new guard and kasrkin are on those size bases
OK with the missiles. Nothing in Warhammer makes sense as far as weapons go. I think the gun ban has really warped the designers perception of how firearms and such work in general lol
On 12:20 The ends on the missiles could just be some rubber covers for the rocket engines. Well we will see this when there are pictures from behind available.
if its limited releases im not gonna bother, the scalpers will just buy it all up
This would have been great… 4 or 5 years ago.
The armoured sentinal looks steampunk as fuck, I love it minus the slapped on rockets.
but you said Salamanders sucked? 30 mins of bitching yet again. colour me shocked!
The GW community / customer base is obsessed with plastic. If something is plastic they love it, if it is resin they hate it. Great example is the new Epic Space Marines; "undercuts", "the multi face injection moulding machines are more expensive", "just convert / cut the extra bit off lol", "you won't see it while playing". Where as the AT Dire Wolf got panned for being resin, but it is a neat kit. Use some brass rod to extend the pistons and cut off tabs and you can easily repose it. "Oh, muh brass rod and cutting tabs is too hard" says the community that kit bash single plastic models from four different large box set releases.
All of the "I can finally play Solar Auxilia" people are in for a rude awakening once they get a game or two in.
All weapons are usable, it comes down to your opponents force and how you play. As most armies are only legions currently, with many playing a net list meta , they appear not so good but will shine via different armies as more plastic become available creating more variation. Its early days yet. and people need to experiment more as there opponents forces change over time.
Just gonna say, I love your new intro…..the old one sounded like cows.
@TheOuterCircle – Totally agree on the comment regarding the differences in design philosophies here(8:00–8:20) , I'm not convinced however that people like myself who leaned more towards the hand sculpted – scale model designed philosophy will ever be satisfied with any of the new "remasters". So my question I suppose is, with the differences in model design philosophies becoming more and more apparent with each new release for the HH from FW what's the main factor influencing these departures? If some of the original hardcore sculptors are still working there why the shift, is the medium change from hand sculpted to digital that significant, or is it the background of the sculptors? I was recently shocked to learn that apparently Simon Egan who did the Krieg range worked on the recent Jaghatai model which kinda threw me for a loop to be honest, is it the suits in FW that are actively blocking that Bligh era of sculpting from being approved or is it just something we can't even really know at this point?
I would loved to see some Charonite Ogyrns instead of the Steampunk sentinel that looks like its taking a shit
Your audio quality is bad, change your microphone
To be honest hope they are bigger scale so i cam use em for necromunda… regular 40k new cadians are so tiny compared to old bulky ones … guess they dont feed em the same like they did on old cadia
▶3:59🤤= "Uhhhmmm, No Boss, I dididn't Finish Da The FA(Q)CK for Da HERESS HORISSY Game….D'Duh-Did I miss my Dudd-line❓"
4 Castellax, 9 Thallax, 1 Thanatar. 1 ARLATAX (8 years and counting). HQ model with bits. That is the only box set that will salvage the 2.0 crap.
I honestly want them to stop supporting the game and we all go WFB with our own rules.
I could see this being the same price as the last heresy battle group
