Land raider... proteus? Very retro. Indeed. I still have one of the original LRs as a display piece, and the new resin kit looks very, very similar to the old plastic kit...

The Boarding upgrade would be excellent for an Arbites squad for Necromunda. I can see some awsome conversions being made from that. SaN

Loving the look of the Tantalus and Proteus, but the only thing that's seriously temping me are those boarding shields. Also, for some reason, I don't like the look of that Contemptor Eggnought. Love the gatling arms, though.

Ok idea, Buy a contemptor with two combat arms, change the bolts for plasma guns, paint Red and Gold and proceed to do sing iron man every time it moves.

This guy wins ^ Laughing Man that is amazing SaN About 3 of us at my Gaming club all had the idea at the same time. Along with the, convert it into a nemesis dreadknight because it looks better than the dreadknight model.

Are these 'eggnoughts' going to be how current Dreads will be looking in the future?

I think they're actually older pattern Dread designs.

From old models or old in the sense of their use in the Imperium?

From old models or old in the sense of their use in the Imperium? Both. There was a picture of the Contemptor included in some artwork for the Epic system way back in the early 90s, and FW snagged onto the idea and started making models based off of it.

It looks a lot like the dreadnought on the cover of one of the HH books I think.

i like the idea of a Contemptor with dual conversion beamers.
and also this is the first time im gonig to games day and apparently i can preorder things from Forge World and have it so i can pick it up at games day, anyone know how i go about doing this, is there a box that i can select or something like that?
also like the look of the Lietpold the Black guy, i recon with a small amount of converting i could get him to be a IG commander on a horse =)

I have seen the new land raider described as faster. Fast land raiders perhaps, or a special rule?

Does this mean they're running out of ideas so they have to revamp old ideas.

Does this mean they're running out of ideas so they have to revamp old ideas. As someone pointed out on another forum, the "Pre-Heresy" stuff they've done so far has proved very popular. I think they're just going with what the market's asking for.

Dude. I'm grooving so hard on the Deimos Pattern Rhinos. I always liked the look of the original Rhino kit.
Might have to pick up a few of those when I start working on Chaos Marines again.
