You can edit your own thread title.

As typos go it could have been worse. traffic for the thread might go down if you advertised pictures of nads.

well bugger me you are correct, i can edit my titles ! yay for knowledge

cant seem to change the thread title for the section

Well like them or hate them, it does mean that SW and Nid players can stop bitching about "missing units" for a while

personally im happy that they are here and happy that GW are committed to getting units out that they put in codexes.

I think the Thousand Son head looks like something a guy just had in his bitz box tbh...

could be except there is also one on the base of this dude too (bottom right hand corner)

which makes me think could be a base icon, not unheard of ,a few kits have these things.

Don't know if you all read the list thoroughly, but I missed this one the first time through:

That should make a whole lot of WoC players happy

i have always liked the model but avoided it because it was metal, in resin however i could be tempted, but ofcourse it is fine cast so it will be full of holes and bubbles, it will be covered with flash and no doubt it will be so warped it will be inside out and upside down, it will need three pints of liquid green stuff to fix and it will no doubt eat my cat and sleep with my wife when my back is turned..... oh and it will probably melt is i leave it in a room on its own in slightly warm weather

well to put the wolves into perspective, the raging heros wolves are £60 for 3, they have no riders so your gonna need to find marines to be riders and does not include a base and comes out a week later than the gw ones, the GW ones are plastic, about half the price and come with riders and bases and by the looks of it some more unique space wolf parts to convert with.

they may not be everyones cup of tea, but you can bet your house GW will sell stacks of them, i dont think any third party company has got the look right, but in GWs favour is they are offical and plastic and reasonably priced compared to others.

i think the fur is something we will have to live with, its got that chunky choppy look to give texture to the model, plastic is ok for detail but i think it wouldnt look bad if they accurately sculpted wolf fur in plastic as you would basically end up with a mostly smooth model, which would look alot worse. As for the cybernetics and armour, till we see sprues its hard to say what can be done with the kit out of the box, but three wolves and the riders,weapons,sheilds etc is gonna fill a sprue quickly so dont get your hopes up.
Either way a welcome addition to the range, plastic trumps resin, GW trumps third party or conversions.

On a separate note thank you to everyone who +repped me for the thread, i tried to reply to all messages but i may have missed some.

I was looking at the photos last night and in the nid heavy photo you can see a trygon next to a terivgion/tyranafex and flyrant in the back ground and i was amazed at the size of the two new kits compared to the trygon, they are huge!!!

Also what units are we missing for Nids now? Harpy?

so basically GW should have made them more rhino like and more mechanical bits and then we would be ok with them? something like this ?

I wonder what happened in the Chapterhouse case then?

I dont think the chapterhouse case has any bearing on anything released within GWS own IP, I think the speculation about chapter house getting trade marks and such was just internet bollocks.Besides IF chapterhouse wanted to take GW to court for IP infringement they would be in the same boat as GW is, except they would have to do it in the UK, which would mean hiring a UK lawyer, which would mean needing money which we know they dont have and i feel confident a UK lawyer would simply say "you are taking the piss, jog on"
