The buggy doesnt look like GW followed their own vehicle design. They mention it in the stream that SM vehicles have the outline of a fist ie front heavy and taper off. It just looks rather weak at the front to me. If there was some more armour panels at the fron to bulk it up it would look great

[Lemondish]

Love the ATV. Reminds me of the Nolan Batmobile with how bulky it is. I'm getting 3 as soon as possible. Those absolutely rock.

[Chaplain Grey Raven]

The ATV had potential. But like the B@C Dreadnought, it's too static to be anything else but derpy. A more dynamic crew would go a long way, we'll see some nice conversions with the model as base.

 

Getting rid of the rear gunner and making it an autoturret would be a nice fix as well, just place an engineblock in the vacant place and turn it in a buggy.

Holy hell those Crons look incredible. The walker is FANTASTIC

I wonder if Ravenwing will be able to take / use the ATV and the new bikes

We already know they will. When they officially revealed the Outriders, they called out Ravenwing, not Dark Angels.

 

 Oh, I didn't see or hear that. So that is good to know, thanks

[Triszin]

not a fan of the atv, imho, the atv should've been grav with the way it looks.

 

atv is also one of the rumor images from long ago. the side, cog

I understand that the Heavy Destroyer is a callback so a very specific piece of He's Goodwin concept art, but the big round thrusters seem really off compared to the rest of the Necron aesthetic.

Will still get though as the rest of it is awesome.

I wonder if it fires red shells... *makes annoying go cart buzz*

The next SM codex is going to be thicker than the rule book! Looking forward to this release!

Agreed - I think the texture they appear to have doesn’t help either!

[Maschinenpriester]

Those necron models really make me start a new army. Glorious stuff right there. That attack quad though... It looks like someone took a GSC vehicle and crammed two primaries into it. I think it would be really cool for some... Industrial vehicle conversions for terrain or so... But it looks more like a toy from Mario cart than a warmachine to me.

Apparently it does...

Ravenwing getting the bikes was confirmed by the transfer sheet having Ravenwing insignia on it.

[Biscuittzz]

While I like the ATV, it reminds me of the Nod raider buggy from C&C. I think it would look a bit better if the turret and gunner weren't exactly dead straight like the driver - maybe aiming side ways in the picture. But I assume the full kits will allow modularity like this.

[Dark Shepherd]

Could the Dune buggy be suffering from designing for push fit compatability?

And we looking at a release 2 weeks after the box? Hopefully pushfit will make them cheap

Is this what was thought to be the pixelated landspeeder from that leak or is that still coming?

 

cancel that, found a pic, its totally different

The ATV is really cool lol. Need to see it in 3D.

Infinitely better than the bike with side car.

[Dumah]

I like the ATV, I really do, but does anyone else worry about the driver? His head is awfully close to that gatling cannon... Unless Cawl developed some superior sound dampening technology he's going to be rather deaf before long. And don't get me started about the Melta option!

He’s fine, if the technology has stayed the same for ear protection he would be ok, I’m assuming that it’s better than current.

Theres a 3d vid of it on WC FB and their site too

Unless he is a space wolf, in which case he is more than likely helmetless

I'm hoping these release with the box set, it's an obvious way to bulk out both factions. Love the necron models, not so keen on the atv but as a Fists collector I can't resist the urge to fortress up and get those sentry guns.

I get the vibe they will be or at worst 2 weeks later

Wonder if the turret will fit on the bike

[ThePenitentOne]

I'm not an SM player, so I have very little skin in this game, but...

 

Not 100% sure I like the look of the ATV on its own, but I feel like it goes well with the Inictus battlesuit; they both have a desert recon feel to me. They also go alright with the bikes. I wish there was a Primaris foot trooper that echoed the feel, but there isn't a Primaris that feels scouty enough to complete the picture.

 

Also, I know they need to ride the hype train, and talk about expanding the ranges introduced in the box, but I want a sense of what OTHER factions are going to get out of this edition. We've known SM and Necrons are getting love since the end of May- it's diminishing returns to show us MORE Necrons and Marines.

 

Flash a guy the silhouette of a DE character or something...

 

I know, because this was the unboxing preview, it's really not fair to expect they'd diminish the impact of seeing these two ranges upon those who play them. I get it. I'm just impatient. I can't afford to start a necron army- I'm still trying to flesh out Sisters, Drukhari, GSC and Daemons of Slaanesh/ EC, plus my various Blackstone/ oddball random Imperial Agents.

[Marshal Loss]

The ATV looks absurd imo. Both Necrons look incredible, really digging the war of the worlds style walker, and that Destroyer is thick

 

I understand that the Heavy Destroyer is a callback so a very specific piece of He's Goodwin concept art, but the big round thrusters seem really off compared to the rest of the Necron aesthetic.

Will still get though as the rest of it is awesome.

It matches the new thrusters on the Monolith though, so there will be some cohesion across the army
