I hated that santa sleigh BUT i really like this.
It harkens back to early Rogue trader art with a dash of Monty python

Feel the same - it's ridiculous and silly, but not quite too much. It feels like precisely the type of ornate statement a faction like this would make. Especially with those flamers attached.

Same, I detest the Space Wolf sleigh. Not sure why but I expect marines to be more practical. Ministorum on the other hand can be full on Nemesis the Warlock craziness.

The carven skeletons positioned as if they were firing the flamers is an especially nice touch.

Carven? I would assume that they are actually remains of particularly honoured members of the order who have been, instead of ordinary burial, been granted the special honour to crew the flamers, thus allowing them to server the Emperor even after their death. The dark grayish colour is from all of the soot that has accumulated on them over the centuries, an unenvitable side effect of such a long service in burning the heretics. Unlike the rest of the edifice, the bones are not cleaned and polished, thus making their lenght of service more visible.

For the Emperor!

Liking the new mephiston.
Could of loved it if they hadn't cocked up the hair.

Edit: stupid morons put the sword blood drop upside down

The gem near the tip? Seems to match the Mark Gibbons' illustration. But it is a weird place to put a gem on a sword, nice model though.

But it and the skull are the wrong way relative to up and down on a sword

On the original figure the skull and drip were upside down to each other, so at least the new model sorted that!

I haven't really paid attention to GW goings on, but I kinda regret missing out on the old Deathwatch Overkill and Killteam starter sets (the one with A. Mechanicus and genestealers).

I suppose once they run out of stock, they're never coming back? So the only option is to hunt for them online, eBay etc?

they say it's based on classic mark gibbons artwork, but the first thing I thought when seeing it was this:

Everything is still available, mostly in Start Collecting and terrain sets. But Deatwatch Overkill was very usefull, as were the Kill Team Terrain sets with playing board... Probably those will be totally scalped out, as are the newest AoS boxed 2-factions scenario sets.  :'(

Ahh the chapter approved gamer pass is two books this year

True I guess, but it was the combo of minis, board & terrain pieces that looks attractive, plus I am guessing they would have been cheaper in comparison? Oh well.

[Duncan McDane]

Yes, those sets are good deals, hence the rampaging scalpers. These days it's possible to order such a boxed set in a GW store, on the they go on preorder. That should guarantee you a copy...

[Knightofspades]

The result might suprise you.



Obviously the deck was stacked before the cards were layed out in this one. But on a metaphysical level I think that is apropriate no?

Anyone ever seen where someone has pointed out and transferred stats and rules for primaris and custodes (the stuff that wasn't in 7th) for 7th edition rules? I know we can just port over most stats but points and special rules are beyond me.
