Slips Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Wow, these Look way cooler than that wonky sneak peak they gave a while back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Loss Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Yeah I'm impressed. Very nice. Still, I was hoping for previews for this weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m_r_parker Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 Yeah I'm impressed. Very nice. Still, I was hoping for previews for this weekend! It is early, and going back to the WWGO we didn't see anything on the ForgeWorld website until the Saturday morning. We may get something this afternoon, but I'd hang fire until this weekend. On closer inspection those pieces are really impressive. The helms are a bit more generic, and can probably be used across a number of different legions. But the scale work on the torsos - that's really impressive work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire Golem Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Quite impressed. As said the helmets probably work across lots of legions, just for variety. I really like the top left and bottom left and right torsos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I know the XX had their thumbs in the Mk VI pie, but I would like to have seen a little more armor mark variety in the upgrades. The helms are ok, (and one looks alarmingly like my Raptor Imperialis helm ), but definitely better than some of the other upgrades kits we've seen lately. The chests are decent, but again, some armor mark variety would have been nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessus Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I really like the 2nd helm from the left, top row! The others are decent, but that helm I want 30 of... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slips Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 From just that tiny bit he looks pretty awesome. Cant wait to see the rest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StruManChu Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Oh wow... After a few weeks of not-a-whole-lot, they done good. The XX stuff looks perfect (why did they preview the worst helmet out of the bunch?!), and Pert looks the business. And BCK, you're totally right. That first helm looks almost exactly like one of yours. I wonder if Pert comes with an optional Forgebreaker... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Yeah he looks pretty damn cool. Id just crossed the IW off my long list of possible legions too, God dammit. And BCK, my first thought when I saw those AL helmets was the one you made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 The paint job on Perturabo looks terrible, but I like the model itself and I'm sure once we see some unpainted pics our minds will be suitably blown. If I had one teensy complaint it would be that I don't like all the cables that far forward onto his face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1ncarnadine Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Wow, Alpha Legionnaires rejoice. 8 unique helmets and 5 torsos. So much cooler than the IW and RG sets that came out relatively recently, but I can't feel as bad for the IW when Perty is right there and looking that good :P Love the little details in the torsos especially, like the double Xx for the XXth legion symbol on the lower right hand torso, the asymmetrical power cabling, and the sneaky omegas.

Jareddm Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Those helms look awesome, and they'd work across a huge number of legions (minus the bottom second from the left) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infyrana Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 As upgrade parts go, these did NOT get the bad end of the stick at all (ie I actually like them all round). From the OP's picture, the helmets on the first row - 2nd and 5th - are my favourites. I find them much more pleasing on the eye than the recent UM helmets. Whilst there are obvious differences to flavour the legion between these and the UM's, I could see these two Alpha helmets happily added to my DG or other legions.
