Start hitting up eBay or find a buddy in Japan.  lol

Don't we have Laffers from Japan?  ;D I would gladly pay to have these Space Marines  o_o

The male choir heads (thanks for that image, Cubs!) make them just right for doing some Angry Marines!

Aren't angry marines just regular marines?

Land Speeder and Land Raider had a drunk one night stand. Way OTT for my tastes.

Call me racist if you like, but newhammer space marines all look the same to me.

That repulsor thing is a joke. On a par with the taurox prime.

I love the plastic Mk.3 and Mk.4 kits but aye Mk.7 and above all look a tad boring/samey. I liked the Taurox Prime though.. once I gave it wheels :D

Dang; dat gatling...  :-*

Looks like Assault Frag launchers over the doors, twinlinked forward firing lascannons, and turret mounted lascannon plus even more launchers.
But what the Dorn is that coaxial thing? ???

Plenty of stowage for conversions too btw.

It looks Landraider sized, but floating.

I'm still on the fence though. I mean: it definitely looks Space Mariney and has a certain odd cool factor, but antigrav? One thing it does not look like; a deodorant bottle...
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

Right now, I think it's a bit crap.  However, in the hands of a sane modeler who removes the seven (yes...seven) missile launcher boxes and removes the comically over-sized rotary weapon on the turret ring, it could be cool looking.  Comically over-the-top at this point, in a bad way.

I'm hoping for many to do exactly that, as I can immediately see the potential for my crawling-along-at-a-snail's-pace Space Crusade modernisation project, for which I will be needing 6 man/marine portable gatling guns...  :D

And here's a photo for anyone whod didn't saw the video:



There's also a new book coming out near Christmas:

Quote
We’ve said right from the start that the new edition of Warhammer 40,000 is one that we’d work to make even better over time. This is one of the ways that will happen. Each year, you’ll have a new Chapter Approved, expanding your gaming options and making what we think is already the best Warhammer 40,000 ever, even better.

Expect the first Chapter Approved book in time for Christmas.
