These one-click bundles are getting stupid. Even the new battle-boxes are close to the same price as the individual kits.

In the IG one you pretty much just save the price of one fairly useless sentinel.

those Aquila emplacements are bad ass though! was reading the battle report in white dwarf and they snuffed out lord Zed's lord of skull's in two turns! shame they are the same price as a fortress of redemption lol

that Khorne thing is truly awful... who the heck designed that...
admittedly, if the stupid body is removed the rest of it gives potential to make an interesting nurgle plague engine thingy or ork kustom-fortress.
I wonder if at any point the designer thought "hmm I best check to see if this massive axe can actually reach anything..."

One thing I'm confused about with Apocalypse is that all these big new shiny models all have 'this model can be used by any player' underneath them Can someone explain? So a Guard player can use the Khorne Lord? Also, The Lord of Khorne thing, despite me being the first one to say it looked awful....is very slowly starting to grow on me....

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I repeat:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It's hideous!
Do not give in, it's another lame idea from lamesworkshop and is freaking pants!
85 freaking pounds for a cak handed bull headed muppet on tracks.. seriously!
If you want to get something that looks that ugly buy a Wall-E toy and stick an old he-man toy to his head ...
I am very disappointed that they didn't make a decent chaos apoc model.. forgeworld can - their stuff is ace.. the possibilities are huge and could have been so good...

Actually, having gotten to see the Lord of Skulls from other angles, and with a better (darker and more threatening paint job) in the latest WD, it's actually pretty cool. Tons of intricate detail, lots of skulls, and there's an alternate armored head that looks far better than the fleshy one. At some point I will probably wind up acquiring one, but just not right now. Also, was chatting with my gaming buddies about that terrain package, and they actually did the math on how much all of it would cost purchased as individual sets, and came to the conclusion that the package deal actually has about $400 of savings built into it, versus buying each set individually. Still, don't see myself getting it, but hey--discount!

if I didn't just spend £800 fixing the car then maybe I would of considered the terrain pack lol although I wouldn't want all of it!
I do fancy an Aquila emplacement or 2 though in around 2 years when I have money again lol

Where the hell are the plastic hydra and collossus kits we were promised?
I would honestly just laugh if that superheavy Khorne monster moved only 6" / turn, like superheavies used to move in the old Apoc..
Like a large snail.. crawling ... across a field full of tank traps.. just crawling..

yes, our new kit will merge the chimera and basilsik and a hydra. And all the infantry will be in 1 pack with only enough bits to make 1 of each unit BUT you'll be able to buy enough packs with the one click buy to make 6 platoons!

they defo should bring back some of the unique (er) guard regiments to plastic kit, tallarn, mordian etc! id be happy even without a re cut/ design.

I think the best you can hope for without a re-cut (if I follow what you mean by that) is a finecast release.

It could mean putting old bitz and cramming them on a new sprue, like they did with ork boyz back in ...'05 or '06, or it could mean someone reversing their circumcision reversion procedure.

I would drop my cadiens so fast if a descent new plastic guardsman came out!

I run 2 platoons in my 2500 point guard heavy armour list. one is Mordian - five man platoon command with regular lieutenant, 2 x 10man squads, 3 x heavy weapons teams and the other is tallarn, Alrhaim command, again 2 squads of 10 men and 3 heavy weapons teams. The theme is a combined operations battle group

To be honest the only game of Apoc I ever participated in wasn't very fun. It took forever, then my entire BA successor chapter, The Angels Amethyst, died in a random blast, except my 15 terminators, who charged into Abbaddon the Despoiler thinking they could tank him, maybe wounded him twice, then they all died as well....

Did he have his arms on? You've got to watch out for that when it is apoc.

Also, The Lord of Khorne thing, despite me being the first one to say it looked awful....is very slowly starting to grow on me.... Saw the actual model of this and it looks damn sexy! Like really! The picture does not do the model any justic. Any complaints about the arms looking out of place are wrong. Yes, I was surprised when I saw it, but still won't spend £90 on it!!

My meltasquad did a driveby on abaddon and killed him. That was a good day
