[Vazzy]

Thank ya sir.

[TheForgottenAngel]

The Thallax was definitely not what I was imagining but the recon marine looks stellar.

[Kol Saresk]

To be honest, I'm not sure that's the finished project. I mean, correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that head made out of greenstuff?

[Dar'kir]

Dig the Loken vs Abaddon models.

Oh no I fully understand its a work in progress but its definitely not what I was picturing for the thallax. I guess I thought it'd be more sinister looking and less refined and sleek. I see homages to the reaver titan's legs which is cool. I'm excited to see the finished product but definitely wasn't what i pictured.

[Captain Semper]

Yeap, I'm also a little let down by the Thallax. Since this would be the first non-Titan Mechanicum-specific unit released by FW I expected something that will make me want to build a Mechanicum army right then and there. Unfortunately, it doesn't. Scout's great though.

[Nova_Dew]

I kinda see one of the old RT robots in the Thallax but in the whole disappointed, as for the sniper i like it well but for the huge lamp on the side of the helm

Maybe its not as bad when it has a paint job?

[Vardus]

The Thallax looks a little Necronish, as it's a WiP, I'm hoping that it will change a little to make it more Mechanicus. Although looking at it, I can see a little of the old Imperial robots in it's design.

[Arachnid99]

Not a fan of the Thallax at all but then I was never going to go admech anyway.

Actually, it looks a bit more like Legio Cybernetica to me.

A bit of a mix between the old Colossus and the Rho-Tau-17 (its leg structure and weapon holding).

[Durfast Spiritwolf]

Still a lot of blue tack on the Thallax and the angle may be deceiving. I'm sure well all love the final version ;-)

[Cerbero666]

I think the Recon model is kinda cool. I'm wondering, if the Recon Squad has all that stealth and infiltration rules, what new things could the Alpha Legion especific rules add to the game? Hmm 

[Jareddm]

Alpharius will most likely have something similar to Trazyn's ability to hop around as other units on the battlefield.

[goosey_j]

Guys, does anyone know how the Rampager models come? Are they in individual parts e.g. head, legs, torso, weapons etc. or just as a complete model? I'd love to use the legs for some special sergeants if they come unattached to anything else.

[depthcharge12]

Guys check out the awesome new bikes and special weapons

Bikes... blehhhhh!

[depthcharge12]

Oh huff. Then get yourself a 495 pound necron battle scape instead. ;)

[Cmdr Shepard]

The bikes are not bad. They have a more futuristic look which can be a good thing ;)

I know many players will consider them less 40K-styled than they should but I don't dislike them. However I think their price will make the standard bikes more viable for our HH armies.

They cost only 5£ less than  Jet bikes and jet bikes are a completely different story, even game wise ;) 

 

I never found the Rotor Cannons very alluring for a Tact support squad. For the same points you get Volkite calivers.

 

The Plasma, Melta and flamer kits are welcomed. I really liked the Meltagun you get with the "old" Space Marine special weapons kit and I'm glad I can have them in a box of 10!

The Plasma guns are nice too. A different version of the 41st millenium version. I think the Legion Plasma gun has character. ;)

I'm not a huge a fun of that flamer design (which was the one for the special weapons set I mentioned) but it's not bad.

[TheForgottenAngel]

I'm loving the new models they released, just not the price tag! I will be getting some of the plasma guns though. I think those plasma guys fit much better than the "new" ones. Hopefully they will release plasma pistol ones in bulk too!

More new hotness this morning:

 

Recon Squad: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/LEGION_MKIV_RECON_SQUAD.html

Thallax: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/MECHANICUM_THALLAX_COHORT.html

Mk III Breacher: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/LEGION_MKIII_BREACHER_SIEGE_SQUAD.html

 

I'm happy that the Thallax turned out better looking than that WD preview a while back.  The Recon Squad is still awesome-- love the shotguns.  And I really love the Breacher Siege squad.  Now I want to run them, just because they look great.

 

Darn you, FW, I just put in a huge order!

Oh, and I forgot the sneaky change they made: Outrider bikes went from 60 pounds to 45.  Oopsie.

[TheForgottenAngel]

Well thats good because no one would have paid that much!
