Custodes are also pretty well liked all around the board I think, same for the Black Templars.

Custodes are too much bling for my tastes. I'd really really love if they do an iconic piece from all the major factions, although i acknowlege they will likely never do the less popular groups like necron or tau as there just wouldn't be a market for statues of this scale and price.

I can still hope for a super badass orc nob or mekboy of some sort though, and an eldar farseer or warlock.

Big E's personal guard better look fancy :P They're wrecking face in the field now too. Just 500 of them and 2 vigils of SOS wrecked 6,000 chaos SM ^^.

I wouldn't be too keen on tau either, they largely hated :P

I don't mind tau, my friend played tau for a very long time, as well as eldar, but they definitely don't have as much 40k character as the other classic races.

I had/have an ork, tyranid, and necron army, I can really only hope that an ork gets made as there is almost no way they'd do necron or tyranid.

I need to get back into reading the books, there has to be a ton of new ones since i stopped reading them back in about 2009. I'm trying to avoid getting sucked back into the game since I already spend way too much money on pieces of plastic lol.

I don't really play the game, a few matches a long long time ago, I used to collect and paint the minis (also a long long time ago). Still got one venerable dread left actually the rest I gave away.

They're sorta rewriting/retelling the horus heresy, fleshing it all out a lot in their horus heresy book line (there's like 40 books or something :P). Some of them aren't that great unfortunately but a lot of great books there, I'm a little disappointed that it's discredited the old star child story line for the Emp though. Eisonhorn is also a really really good one and I highly recommend it if you haven't read it already.

Just watched the video of TCC, the guy skips right past the warhammer stuff, though I can't say i'm surprised.

Anyone who wanted a basic marine, you're getting your wish, although probably not the chapter you wanted, looks like a blood raven sergeant with bolt pistol and chainsword. I think it looks really good, and I now know what I'm going to be spending my 600 dollars of sideshow rewards on hehe.

There we go.

Basic Marine is a perfect representation of the overall universe.

And damn...I was supposed to be holing off on stuff.

Ha, now I just need an equally scale blue space marine from Starcraft

[Zombiez]

The basic marine looks better than his chapter master.... it's still too bad that they don't seem to be doing the primarchs.

It is indeed a shame that it's a blood raven and that they only seem to be doing DOW3. However he looks like a fantastic representation of a regular space marine as opposed to his frankenstein chapter master next to him and I am totally on board.

Also as you said he doesn't linger on them long in the video but it actually looked like a bolter instead of a bolt pistol.

Yea, was hard to tell whether a bolter or bolt pistol, but i guess it is a bit big for a bolt pistol.

well, to be fair, that Gabriel is pretty much half machine at that point. but meh, i will have both of them. I don't mind the blood ravens, I'd prefer space wolves or dark angels, or possibly black templars, but I did love me some DoW 1 and to a lesser degree DoW 2.

[dao2]

might turn him into a blood angel :P

also dunno y the exhaust bells are facing up :|

wonder if they're still gonna do the sob
