The hand is very clearly a power armored one. The rim around the wrist is also very typically power armor. I just don't see why the WHF notion is being entertained. At all.

As someone who does not mind the Primaris Hover Bricks, a 40k era Land Raider kit still sits near the top of the wish list. It's just THE terminator ride, y'know?

A renewed land raider kit could only be considered bloat if it did not replace the current one but was meant to go along side it. Me? I'd consider one "about damn time"

GW has had a decade to "consolidate" the range. It instead exploded in number. Consolidation just isn't a anything theyre interested in let alone a priority.

Last time someone else was an edition poster boy was Dark Angels for 6th/7th right? Coincided with a then rather nice update for DA, including the first introduction of deathwing knights if I recall? Come to think of it wasn't the introductionary box hard coded with DA details and the like? If thats the only recent presedent we have it could bode nicely.

We do not. A lot of people seem to be prepositioned to assume this is what it is because of their typical stance taking. (And to be fair I'm sure the opposite can be said too)

As someone who's not stuck his chin out here yet: Yes? Do I think those designs can be allowed to be blatant rip offs too? Yes. Can those blatant ripoffs even be shared? Most probably 'Yes' again. Should they be allowed to be sold, while being all the above? Probably where I draw my line. But I haven't put my opinion out here in this topic properly before now. Just think the above considerations considerably alter your question.

As much as I actually like the bog standard primaris helm, you'll find surprisingly few in my 200 ish strong crusade. I've used a lot of the different BT style variants that came with the '21 refresh, as well as sourced some from various places, notably the 2012 tactical kit, but also the burning of prospero mk3 helms as well as others. Thinking I should get some of the new sexy mk II ones from the saturnine box as well. Really want most of the non crested helmets in this set. We got Mk.X style helmets with the knightly look in another variation different from those I have, as well as helmets with mkVI and VII face plates. Helmet variation matters

Seems perfectly fine to me. It's photo'd at an ever so slight angle, perhaps that's throwing you off?

Not a bad box, but then there's the termie box as well to consider.

Speaking as someone who is not afraid of painting and using bare heads, the ones on display are a bit.. samey? And not too inpsiring. There's a few I like in there, but I think the kit overall could've used different design helmets to a higher degree. Also, to be clear: Every Single helm here is MK.X. The slanted ears is the give away. We have both beakie and grill style face plates though. Overall, I quite like it, but there's a very large portion of bits I know I wouldn't use, including the crested helms.

Do space wolves not get access to hellblasters?

Looking again at the wolf scouts, several of them seem to have Logan Grimnar's Great company badge molded on their pads, which I think might be a first?

Well yes, but this entirely hypothetical wish listing of mine would be Kill Team like this, presumably in phobos armor. I'm not at all looking for a replacement of the main sword brethren squad kit. It's not happening either way.

Nice wolf scout kit. Makes me wish for a sword brethren kit in a similiar vein.. though infiltrating sword brethren haven't really been a thing except for a brief stint in 4th edition... (and I guess 5th.. since there was no templar update at all in 5th)
