I agree, the speeder is pretty horrific, but it's possible that the fighter's just being shown at an unfavorable angle, kind of like how the Storm Raven was (except that the SR just looks incomplete without a Dreadnought on the back).

The flyer might be good, we'll see. They've yet to produce an SM flyer that isn't hideous. I'll pass on the rest of it, though.

expand the nose on the flier and beef up the engine houses and i think it'd look quite good.

The flyer looks a bit like the Lightning (I think?) and the speeders have that cheap sci-fi hover car feel that makes me think of Space Precinct or maybe Blade Runner. Could be a lot worse.

Guess I'll be the odd ball of the group and say that I actually like the new stuff. The speeder looks a bit large and clunky, but the flyer looks rather cool actually, kinda looks like a Lightning variant. Those terminators look awesome though, really look forward to starting my DA army when these drop in the stores.

Looked around at some of those links on that site and something caught my attention in the latest FAQ concerning the new Chaos Marines codex. They officially lowered the price of the Hellbrute by 5 points. Sure it's not very much, but messing with the points cost? Anyone ever see that before? Just thought it was an interesting note

I agree with Ponen19. I think they look pritty cool. The flyer does look a little on the stubby side, but then again I'm coming around to liking the space guppy too!
Only think I'm not keen on is the speeders. Well, the position of the gunner, and I don't k ow what the hell they where thinking with the rear end!

I like the look of the new flyer, although the LS looks terrible!
Also, I'm not a fan of the new Termies, they just look too static (I still think the GK termies are the best looking termies in the game right now!)
And the bikes look like really old sculpts or is that just me??

I think they is only so much you can do with a bike!
Question on DA in general: I know they are a fan of fast attack / deep striking. But are drop pods something that fits in with the dark angles fluff wise?

I actually like the speeder. Quad engines and a nose gunner, thats just sweet. As for most SM vehicles tho, I challenge my friends to look at the tanks like they have never ever seen a SM vehicle before and seriously tell me that they don't all look goofy. I think its just acclimation to it.
Oh, and those Termies look slick as snot with the flails, very Knightly.

If you can't say something nice... well, I won't then. .. except I can't help myself... Why can't GW produce good looking flyers? okay, they have a couple nice ones.. but most of the stuff is seriously pants, there are so many awesome flying machines out there in reality and in fiction that can be drawn upon for inspiration, I mean my 2 year old makes better stuff out of freaking duplo... FFS... yeah, Marines are in the era of a descending technology but they should at least look like they can fething fly.. and whats with sticking freaking church altars into the middle of a fething skimmer.. surely the job of the chaplain is to beat everyone about with the religious stick and leave the flying things to fly.. not to fething transport hideous ornaments of a suedo angelic quality into active firezones. And while I though land speeders couldn't look more pants personally (though I have loved my two typhoons like illicit bastard children of a mutant sledge come hand hoover) I didn't ever believe they could be made to look worse!.. for the sake of the emporer destroy them now.. no wonder they kept secrets with fething gak like that hanging around the back of their armoury! and those terminators look pants too... all I could think was 'bash sticks'.. I know its the 41st millenium and the best weapon is a hammer, but those meatballs on kebab sticks just look like they're tying to find some flame to cook 'em on. I am not impressed. (that some has such a cool job [designing spaceships] and gets it so fething wrong so often!).. grrrr.

(that some has such a cool job [designing spaceships] and gets it so fething wrong so often!).. grrrr. Thats an excellent point, WHY can't GW make decent looking flyers? The Valkyrie was done years ago and is still one of the best looking flyers they've produced. Although I'm a fan of the Helldrake (apart from the rear end) its still lacking something. The Stormraven and talon both look out of proportion and awkward, they may have well just stuck wings on a Rhino... The Razorwing is ok, but seems a little small. The Necron flyers are nice and fit well with there other vehicles as do the Orks stuff Also the Space Marines are GW intro line, its what we all started with (nearly...) Why would they be making the worst looking flyers for there premium brand?? All Hail Forgeworld! These guys make decent flyers! Danger Rod

I love the FW Thunderbolt and Marauder Destroyer, thye look like true flying machines. one fighter one bomber. its like putting a steeple on a lemanruss! I'm not a fan of the skulls and such around the engine of the Baneblade/stormlord kits but they take it to the extream! I wouldnt mind just the addition of maybe angel wing decals like ww2 planes may have on their nose, but seriously?! Oh and I don't think the DA do use Drop pods much, think they prefer sneaking in, landing and stricking quickly in key points from multiple directions. But I only have Vraks to go by. they took the main supply routes and cut off reinforcements to the starport from the main fortress. basicly doing more a covert ops mission than a full on storming the breach, I liked the battles in the first 2 books, wished they'ed been longer

Personally I like the flyer and I'm rather curious to see what those guns taped on to the bottoms are. The Deathwing knights also look pretty hard core.
The unfortunately this is completly defeated by the single most hideous land speeders I have ever seen and the fact that the apothecary is on a bike. That doesn't even make sense? Drive by lobotomy? High speed hysterectomy? What are you thinking GW? :c

I quite like the Terminator with the two handed relic axe. Someone's Wolf Guard Termies are feeling really jealous now. That doesn't even make sense? Drive by lobotomy? High speed hysterectomy? What are you thinking GW? :c The ear syringe thingy. Delivered at over 100mph... Welcome back, Daemon Doctor. *Fires off some Deathstrikes.*
