New Mk III and Mark V assault squads from Forgeworld

[energongoodie]

Love the Mark V

[DrLove42]

They are very nice!

Can they just release IA11 already?

[Morgan Darkstar]

am i the only person who is a bit disappointed with these?

they could be far more dynamic, rather than the same old static "look we're space marines" poses

nice armour tho

verdict, can do better

[Wolfshade]

I think I've found my new veterans

[Necron2.0]

Yeah, I may need to get the Mk III's. I'm using the tactical squad as the basis for an Iron Hands army I'm putting together.

[SotonShades]

I agree with Morgan Darkstar; could be more dramatic. However, they are resin, so easy enough to convert, especially compared to the metal vanguard vets. I think I may need to get me some for a vet squad, probably the Mk III. Much more Siege-y in my opinion.

[Sister Rosette Soulknyt]

Damn i wish i had access to these guys before i painted up a 10 man Vangaurd squad for my Salamanders.

Well, bear in mind they come as pieces. Maybe the legs could have been done in variations other than standing, but I'm not certain how dynamic you could get with the rest, since they come as just arms, torso and head. How those models look in the picture has more to do with how the modeler chose to display them, not how they could be put together.

These look very similar to MaxMini jump packs, which have been out for ages now:

Were the MaxMini jump packs imitating older GW art, or is this a case of GW imitating the imitators?

I seem to recall seeing similar jump packs in the 1st Edition Rogue Trader rulebook, in artwork by Ian Miller, by my memories are hazy.

They are based on the old GW Rogue Trader design. I like them.
