The LAF Games Workshop Discussion Thread

There's a heap of stuff which has been spotted in the old leaks which has yet to come to fruition.  Expect multi-part Nurgle Plaguemarines, some form of plague terminators, Mortarion as a daemon primarch and I'd guess a few other kits.

I was looking on the Forgeworld website yesterday (hovering over several items to buy  ) but it seemed that a lot of the generic Space Marine models aren't there anymore?

I must admit it's been a few years since I visited but I suppose some of the older moulds have gone and they're not bothering to replace them?

cheers

Yeah, they've ditched a lot of decent products in the pursuit of more $90-100 dollar resin Primarchs for HH. 

[OSHIROmodels]

Ah, I thought that might be the case 

Never mind, less for me to spend money on 

Although those new 'robots' look rather shiney

So has anyone else seen the new disclaimer under the magmadroth that has been going around ?

If you buy it from the webstore you will instead be sent the start collecting fyreslayers box, for the same price. The full magmadroth kit plus a unit of 10 dorfs and some other thing.

Found it

I hadn't seen that, but this price conflict has happened with a number of models.  There was a Lizardmen big beastie who was $85-90...as was the start collecting box which included a bunch of other models, etc.

As long as they price the stuff as it is, it's somewhat silly to have both of the boxes in productiong/being sold.  So order your Magmadoodle and sell off the extra fellas for some cash back.

I made this up as a joke...on a joke.  Some people may recognize the idea.

Well the new AoS boxes are up fpr preordsr,and GW have officially dropped the price of the magmadroth.all of them have been relisted at £50 ,with the disclaimer that you also get a bunch of other stuff with it.

More marines in high heels, I know they're models but I didn't realise they were catwalk models.

[Mason]

Urgh!
Not quite as bad as those Centurion things but I do not like this idea.
Almost like a cheap Power Rangers style of Cyclone missile launcher terminator mash-up.

I really think that GW are going further away from the original Marine aesthetic with each release.
This is going the way of AoS, I feel.
Which I, for one (and I may well be alone!), do not feel 'works'.

[Andrew May]

Apart from the tippeetoe thing and the guns on guns on fists on guns I don't mind them per say, I mean they fit the Primaris aesthetic but I don't think they'll ever produce something as iconic as terminator armour.

[OSHIROmodels]

The middle one is even striking the 'pose'

Yeah, nothing amazing about those.  I do like the helmets (with the Terminator-esque lower jowel-tusk/outlets), but they're really just better looking Centurions, which isn't saying much.  The more comic-booky "double guns for everything!" approach to modern GW styling still leaves a lot to be desired.
