They remind me of squats in power armour.

I think we can safely assume we'll be seeing Heresy era Centurion models from FW at some point that will look way better.

Like how they took the horendously awful GW Ironclad Dreadnought model and made a good looking older design version of it.

More new photos:
Hunter (a lot better looking than the garbage can aesthetic of the epic model IMO):

Devestator Centurions:

Are those twin-powerfists (presumably) meant to be usable in combat without wrecking their heavy weapons?

I didn't realise marines needed an obliterator/battlesuit equivalent to make them work on the tabletop... The design, taking the shape of a human body into consideration, makes even less sense than Terminator armour. Unless the arms are fully bionic & the marine's actual arms are inside the chest armour, which isn't likely.
Background wise these seem to embody the phrase 'Tactical Dreadnought armour' but are instead piloted by Assault marines & devastators? They'd have to be desposable or easy to produce if they aren't saving this new tech for the chapter's actual veterans.

As for the Stalker/Hunter, it's pretty cool but I find it hard to justify the stabilisers, given that tanks like the whirlwind/vindicator don't have anything similar.

I'm not opposed to the 28mm marine line getting more stuff, I'd just prefer it actually looked good.

EDIT @ elsmore LOL!

On the other hand - good potential as conversion for titans.

What's even funnier is that these instantly reminded me of mantics warpath orchard power armour... Should they put in a C&D ? ;)

Which ones? It doesn't look fast and agile enough to be a Warhound and it's a lot too small to be a Reaver.

Reaver - turn thighs into part of upper calf armour, extend with plastic rod. Rotate torso 90 degeees forward, leave off arms, apply underslung weapons.

I did a similar hack on a marine -> knight

I still think it would be a lot too small, but I do prefer truescale titans.

It wouldn't be that cheap either - I think I heard these new Centurions are 3 in a box for £50.

Somehow i like the Ultramarines Devastator Centurions.
The Hunter looks cool but more like an artillery tank.
The Stalker with his two separate movable turrets looks abit odd.
