Malakithe Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Just got an email from forgeworld. Kinda crazy looking http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-GB/Warhammer-40-000?categoryId=cat2140034&sorting=phl&qty=8&Nu=product.repositoryId&N=102580+4294967192&view=table&_requestid=22639285 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Syddraf Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Wish they were sold as a complete model. Feels like a bit of a rip off to have to buy the armour and all the upgrades. Maybe selling like this has something to do with the 'truck load of salt' rumors about plastic horus heresy minis. That said i am interested to see how they look painted up.

Malakithe Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 I like the look of the helmets. Very sinister looking. I don't like that they sell 10 helmets then only 5 torso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syphid Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I don't collect HH but I like the models. Maybe I need a refresher on the fluff, but Space Marine power armor is mostly mix and match, right? So I could MkIII armor into my army? Or has it mostly been lost by M41?

Captain Semper Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I really like the helmets. Totally agree with Malakithe that they look sinister and are in line with previous art depicting DAs in the HH context. I also like that there are no wings on the helmets - maybe they'll be reserved for specialist HH units, or characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakithe Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 As far as 30k to 40k goes they are the 1st legion and known for having a lot of relics and generally old ass gear. I might rock the helms for vets or something like that. But ya the general feel of the helmets is dark and sinister. I really like them. Don't care too much for the torsos or shoulders but I would rock and entire army with just the heads lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakithe Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 I would use those helms for a DIY chapter. I think some Vanguard vets or sternguard would look awesome with those heads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJD Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I have to say I really like these. In particular the heads don't seem to conform to any particular mark of armour, I might be tempted to mix a few of the helmets and shoulders into a vet or company command squad. Maybe even just sprinkled through the rank and file.That said more robes please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakithe Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 Yep I was thinking for vets/command squad too. Maybe sergeants. Maybe even a CM in AA...that would look sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe selling like this has something to do with the 'truck load of salt' rumors about plastic horus heresy minis. That said i am interested to see how they look painted up. Another reason why I don't buy Forge World. I HATE buying things separately. Sell me complete. I guess they are afraid of sticker shock if everything is tallied all together? GW has no problems doing this, I wonder why Forge World has a problem with it. Was thinking of picking up the Dreadnaught. Then I see arms sold separately. No thank you. Why does Forge World sell everything separately? I just don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who cares if it was lost by M41. Rule of cool applies. Just do it if you like it. Rule of Cool overrides everything and anything, especially fluff.

Master Avoghai Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Mmmmmh release of those conversion kits just when the rumors of HH plastic boxset are more and more frequent... Another proof of the Lion's perfect timing :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exsulis81 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I still don't like those shoulder pads but the helmets are glorious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHyperion Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 The helmets and torsos would be awesome for the fallen ravenwing biker I have planned for my Khorne Daemonkin army..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aura_enchanted Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 i dislike the helmets, i think the torsos are okay and i love the shoulders. im probably just going to use maximus heads if i invest in any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother_Darius Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 The helmets do not scream Dark Angels too me, but are cool looking. Not sure how they would fit in. I'd like to see them on some current armor (Mk-V+) The shoulder pads look pretty much like the current plastic DA pads, (other than being on Mk-II pads) The torso's are my favorite. I think I could slap them on my current plastics and they would look fine. THOSE scream DA to me. I hate the old style legs, and won't ever use them.

Malakithe Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 The helmets don't really have specific dark angels stuff on them even thou it says they do in the description...they come out 2 days before my bday so I guess I'll have to order 3 sets...just not sure what I will do with them yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solly Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 am i the only da player that thinks these helmets look fugly? the helmets as stated by other people here already dont shout DA at all. the torso's are ok but again, dont shout da. the shoulder pads are pretty good but as already stated they should have made at least MKIV - V. id buy them for my 40k da but dont think they would fit in. id have to see more images to be sure though. tbh, i actually prefere the blood angel hemets that i saw previewed a while back.

Grimdarkness Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Well that saves me a lot of money if all the D.A stuff form forge world looks like this I'll stick to 40K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Rage Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 £1.15 for each helmet/head dang didn't it used to be like 50p per helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakithe Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 I might have to make a DA successor chapter and use the crap out of the helms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blank05 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I like it all. The shoulder pads leave a lot to be desired since they are just like the GW ones, but they still look good. Also, since so many people want robed torsos, wouldn't the robes cover the MkIV amend earlier armour, making the torso almost useless? Can't any robed torsos be used as long as they're on HH era legs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
