Yum! I like the drop pod. Nowadays I am crazy enough to buy them; in the old days they were too expensive for me.

I lost the old thread for this, so I thought that I would start a new one. The new Land Speeder is the picture of today. What do you think? Then there is one more picture that I have found! [Edited to confirm with new board policy!] |

They're nice. I was expecting all the marine stuff to be Templars first before other chapters. |

Like the land speeder, but it looks a little rough, maybe it's the paint-job, I don't know... I'm off to find the "hidden" picture now. |

Eh? The landspeeder Typhoon isn't specific to any chapter. And based on the current Templars list, the only units that will need new models are the Land Raider crusader, and neophyte bikers. |

I was going by colours. I had seen a load of black templar marines, so thought that the marines would be in that colour scheme upon release. However these two were in dark green, like Dark Angels (although their landspeeder would be black if it were raven guard). The good thing about not being black, is that its easier to spot details. |

Ah ok, I was thinking of the models not the paint schemes. I would guess they will have pictures of models from several different marine chapters. The pictures on the Epic site of the new SM vehicles were from several different chapters. |

The Black Templars army is Mark Bedofrd's personal army, a lot of which is comprised of Resin masters rather than full-production metals! It is used at the shows he's present at so has been seen quite a lot, but its not a "studio" force as such. |

Hi I managed to pick up the new SM Battle Company box set at the weekend and started assembling them yesterday. It struck me that the sprue was suspicously like half of the old SM Infantry sprue. You got the marines with bolters, missile launchers and jump packs but that was it. You did n't get the sergeants, scouts, termies, bikes or command figures. Does anyone know if something happened to the old SM Infantry sprue mould? Or was this just an excuse to overcharge us and force us to buy the new metal bikes/scouts/termies etc....  Cheers James |

Trashed, to be replaced by metal stands. |

The way I understand it: GW have changed the way they cast their plastics & are using machines upgraded since the 1997 moulds for E40K were designed. In order to cast the older moulds would have meant considerable adjustment of the casting machine every time any of the epic sprues were needed. This wasnt possible under current production cycles so new moulds had to be made which do fit the current machines & also the production process in the plastics department. New moulds were too expensive to make from scratch so they re-tooled the components of the old moulds to fit new Boss'. In the case of the SMs (and possibly others, I'm going on a conversation between myself & jervis here, I havent seenthe new inf castings yet), this did indeed result in something which was basically one half of the original. |
