The really funny thing, to me, about the exposed musculature paintjob, is that our local GW store manager was already doing an army in that style, a 1000 point Unbound Haemonculus based list with converted models for various things like Grotesques and Talos and, IIRC, converting the Beastmen's giant model into a "Wraithknight" (uses those rules, but would look like they captured a giant beast and added attachments and all). It was rather awesome looking, inspired by "Attack on Titan."
Here's some of the stuff he was showing on a Facebook group:

He started that project in July (might have been late June?), so definitely before the alternate scheme Wracks were shown. There's been more work done on it since, but, well, guy's gotta run a store, and recently has had to paint up a Nagash model, so it ended up on the side. But an army done in that style does look pretty impressive.
Just show me the Vect. The bomber sounds nice, but I always liked the jet better.
Also, while I love the look of the new haemi, I'd like to see a height comparison between it and Urien Rakarth. Always bugged me that the no-name Finecast haemis were bigger than him...

I already have a void raven so the kit will have to be very impressive and not so $$$ for me to get.
Has anyone noticed the arm is wrong in the codex cover pic that is up? It's not the left arm holding the blade, it's a right. The thumb is up!

It looks as though the Scissorhand on the new Ancient Haemonculus is exactly the same as the one on the new plastic Wracks.
I know that isn't all that exciting but it does mean that the arms on both kits should be easily interchangeable meaning a fair few uses out of the clam pack model.
And I was slightly wrong on the plastic Wracks box. Looks like you just get the Venom pilot, to make the gunner for Venom / Raider uses up one of the Wracks, which is a shame.

whoaaa, looks pretty sweet. Wish there was a higher-res photo. Also, I hadn't heard anything before about that combobox before. Could be cool
I guess the combo boxes will be Wyches + Raider and Kabalites + Raider. Like the Cadian Armored Fist we saw with Astra Militarum release.
The Voidraven is underwhelming... looks almost exactly like every double Razorwing kitbash out there

Love the voidraven, and those combo boxes will be handy especially since itsd a 7EU saving if it is a raider+wyches/warriors set.
