I wish I could afford a plague hulk, would be the perfect soul grinder for my list.Occupy Terrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02585266186988933198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-70829626991241118412012-09-18T12:16:19.331-04:002012-09-18T12:16:19.331-04:00Rumor has it there are a bunch of bits in the Hell...Rumor has it there are a bunch of bits in the Helldrake box that allow you to convert it to different gods and poses, so it could be a pretty open ended kit for modifyingOccupy Terrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02585266186988933198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-86901298639090797142012-09-18T12:04:07.415-04:002012-09-18T12:04:07.415-04:00Hmm, to tell you the truth, I feel a little underw...Hmm, to tell you the truth, I feel a little underwhelmed right now: Some cool ideas, but so far, definitely not the big design revolution some were expecting.<br /><br />Granted, the pictures are a little blurry, so all of this may end up being totally fantastic, but going from the pictures we have:<br /><br />- My main main issue with the dragon is that it's a dragon. I would have preferred something more along the lines of the FW Helltalon design.<br /><br />- The Fiends are perhaps the most interesting concept of the bunch, although it's hard to imagine them completely replacing Obliterators. If that's true, though, good riddance: The Obliterator models were hideous, and those fiends are serviceable conversion fodder at the very least.<br /><br />- while it's great that theres a War(p)smith now, you can barely see the model for all the cable, although I'll wait for better pictures of this one.<br /><br />- I find the new Raptors are hard to rate, since the rather garish Night Lords paintjob in the photos doesn't seem to be doing the models any favour. Some pretty cool elements there, but while I am all fore more detailed armour, I'm not sure I'm all that thrilled about the new "creepy crawly" look -- at least if it's incorporated across the whole line.<br /><br />All in all, I'm glad the wait is over, but these leaks somehow don't make me feel all giddy inside (like Dark Vengeance did).

I think the wings and the top plate could be used along with the back engine afterburner (if it looks like I think it does) - then add those elements together with some drop pod door outer panels, a little bit of chaos plasticard work and all together that should make a pretty sweet Chaos flyer for those who don't like dragons.<br /><br />I may make one, I hope others certainly do.TJ Atwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01304177224607153451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-52182060980203476152012-09-18T11:38:47.995-04:002012-09-18T11:38:47.995-04:00Wow those look pretty legit.
