  1. Those are out already I think - probably the Christmas Battleforces next week, but personally hoping for the Breachers/Cataphractii box to be out before the end of the year!
  2. Wish the new sculpts had come with those topknots as default! What a lovely homage to Visions of Heresy that would have been
  3. Wonder if there's a terminator command sprue/alternative weapons sprue coming at some stage, noting the lack of options like e.g. lightning claws.
  4. How many points is this/how much of an 'army' the combined arms battle group for marines is? Never bought into LI before but it's a nice array of units
  5. Awesome, can't wait to get my hands on the new Cataphractii and it's great to see Breachers after all this time. Hoping for refreshed Tartaros in 2026 as well
  6. Absolutely love Iron Warriors and CSM of all stripes, and I'd be excited to see a Daemon Perturabo & new Obliterators, but I don't want to see them occupy their own codex. They're one of the quintessential Undivided Legions and breaking them out into a separate book entirely feels like a road to unnecessary bloat and would leave the main CSM book looking hollow, particularly if they choose to repeat the treatment in the future. I just don't see the need.
  7. Be still my beating heart. Hot pink space ships here I come
  8. Not expecting much for Heresy. Breachers are a given as they haven't been properly shown off yet, and probably the next journal tactica which will presumably be the one focused on super heavies. I'd like to see more of this 'acceleration into plastic' they talked about with the launch of 3rd edition, anything more than that will be nice, but I am not expecting a wall of new kits for 30k at this preview
  9. Finished and happy to say it's my favourite heresy novel in many years and a worthy addition to the setting. If it were part of the actual heresy series I'd consider it up there with the best of them as it really does the Dropsite Massacre justice; if you enjoyed French's Slaves to Darkness/Praetorian of Dorn/Solar War style affairs, or the OG FW black books, you'll enjoy this. It gives Isstvan V some serious weight, scale and tragedy - which it badly needed. Definitely a little bit of a "for the boys" novel at times with a dizzying array of Primarchs and other named characters getting at least a little attention but everybody generally comes off well and French has clearly taken pains to plot out a take that doesn't unnecessarily duplicate what we see of Isstvan V from other novels (e.g. Fulgrim and The First Heretic). Was great seeing some of the FW HH characters appear because they were all really memorable. If I had to take marks off for anything, it would be the Alpha Legion being Alpha Legion because reading about one 17 dimensional pre-positioned plot after another drags on a bit, but I feel like any serious heresy fan is basically inured to their shenanigans at this point. I only purchased this on a whim after TEATD/the Siege of Terra series in general obliterated my will to read heresy fiction, but I'm very glad I did. There's life in the old girl yet and I hope we see more like this over the coming years.
  10. I'm about 2/3 through and thoroughly enjoying this, it's great. Top tier Frenchian Heresy so far
  11. Greenish gold(s) look like a good peridot alchemy replacement/substitute
  12. Exciting! Personally hope it's EC for obvious reasons, but I'm keen to see what it is regardless Wrong Red Corsairs Apothecary - Variel left them for the Night Lords, Garreon is still loyal to Huron.
  13. Lots of flavour on display, looks great
  14. Wish there were far more helmets in the set - would have made it the kind of kit I'd buy multiples of to use a bunch of Mark VII/Mark VI/snazzy Mark X across a force.
  15. I turned away from Vallejo after their mass formula change, but we'll see how this pans out - their Metal Colour range is fantastic but these are evidently a different formula. Would be nice to have some interesting high quality metallics to offer an alternative to some of the more unique Scale 75 metallics. Never understood why they didn't add at least a little more to that line. Real pity
