Cool, good to see those temporary re-releases actually offering some interesting options!

How old are those steed riders? Do those pre-date the old long-tongued ones from 2nd, or are they after the fact?

I see they're getting rid of the Thousand Sons conversions to make way for the new plastic kits which are on en route. Good time to be a Thousand Sons/Tzeentch player.

They were the 3rd version of the Deamonettes and the 2nd version of steeds, and some of my favourites along with the 1st versions

Surprised to see them back, but glad as they fetch silly silly monies on Ebay.

So the Thousand Sons kits just showed up on all the rumour sites...lookin' pretty good.

Not a huge fan of the second and third sorcerer or deamons.

The rest actually is pretty cool.

I feel about the same. I don't get any "oh damn!" feels from them, but I think they're nice plastic kits which will serve well for the next 10 years or so. I think you could kit-bash these with the Prospero plastics for a more varied force. (yes, even in 40K!)

I really like both sets of troops and the terminators. To my eye they are right at the golden mean of cool vs. over the top with abundant detail and style. The character models look silly.

I really like the beastmen there.

Something about the painting doesn't really work for me. Makes them look flat-ish while closer inspection suggests there is actual depth in the detail. The stark white background might not help either. I'm holding back judgement until I've seen some other painted pictures.

The beastmen are a nice touch, all they need now is thrall wizards and i'm sold!

Aha! I think I understand the top right mage on the disc now:

Well, those kits will make a lot of people very happy (which is good, as they've been waiting about twenty years for these!).

I am also pleased to see lots of mk4 armour everywhere, and none of the "modern" mk7.

The kits do appear to have a fair few options too. Here's an alternative pic that shows different builds for the Sorcerers:

Still weird poses. The one flying on a huge fart is simply weird in posing.

Got the new white dwarf this morning. Turns out Space Hulk is back on the 3rd. £75, no mention if it's limited or not.
