Longstrike looks like hes trying to be a DJ
Once seen, can't be unseen....
Darkstrider looks lie the legs are to wrong way round. Thats just my opinion on the pose. They look unstable, and likely to fall over if they fired their Carbine.
They're perfectly fine. Suppose it's just the angle of the pictures.
I'm concerned the new Comander kit is not very posable. All the pictures show the same leg pose, and the arms seem to have the hands molded on.
Never stopped people from converting crisis suits, so why should it stop you with a resin kit?
Farsight looks ok, but Anybody with the old pieces could have pulled off the same pose. Again, he seems to be pre-made to have a single pose. Not very customisable
You seem to have contradicted yourself a little bit here
New stuff to work with is always something that I am happy to have, just takes a little more effort than just getting it out of the box fully poseable. But I suppose that's what we get for being non-marine players.
Cadre Fireblade looks like hes about to throw his Bonding Knife down in disgust. And anyone else notice that the Bonding knife, looks more like a combat knife, rather than a Ceremonial Blade?
"Im fed up of these mutha huffin Orks in ma mutha huffin lines!"
The Pathfinders are just a collosal "Fuck You" to any person (Like myself) who used the Fire Warriors box to covert their own Pathfinders. It isn't need. The Drones could have been their own little box, along with the PF special Weapons. Oh, would you look at that, one PF is holding an infantry size Ion weapon. So much for Tau not utilizing "Heavy Weapons" on organic troops
I call bullshit on that level of paranoia. Reason as to why people converted their own pathfinder teams = because there were no plastic pathfinders available and the metal ones were stupid expensive. So when we get shiney new plastics....
As for heavy weapons not being available for standard troops? They were present in chapter approved a long time before the current Tau codex in the form of rail rifles as others have pointed out. Also, as Novae pointed out, another infantry boxed set for the Tau is most welcome. Especially when you consider that we only had one, for around a decade, to do all of the converting work with.
Looks like they have simply combined the Hammerhead and Sky Ray into one kit. Anyone who can do math would have seen this coming from years ago, and its surprising they've waited until now. Oh wait, it isn't a surprise, the price is probably £10 more just for being the same as before.
Warhammer 40,000 is expensive. We get it already. I'm just happy that I'm sat on three of them already, so I don't need any more.
Broadside looks cool. I admit, I never tried to convert my Broadsides to this design myself, mostly because I never bought the actuall Broadside Kit (I convert my own Railguns, god dammit).
Good. Nice to see that the eventual release of the tau codex has created something good for you.
Now we're getting to something which is shocking. The XV8 Crisis Team, is actually cheaper then buying three battlesuits individually. Holy Shit GW, maybe ther is hope for you yet!! But one kit among many is not going to save your ass.
Still better than nothing. I'll take a £5 saving any day.
The Riptide isn't my cup of tea. From a design point of view, it just doesn't really "work" in my mind. That waist joint just screams "I'M THE WEAK SPOT, FOCUS ATTENTION HERE!!!"
It's a fuckhuge robot of destruction with a mahussive chaingun from Doom. Whats not to love?
On the subject of the "Collections." GW seems to havelearnt its lesson from the Flyers release. The Recon Team is cheaper than buying seperately, though the Kroot Merc collection just about matches seperate pricing.
Good.
