What's the poseability like? Like the extra robot arms and the position of the eh "turret" (torso?) can it be turned around at different angles for example?

The manipulator arms on the Breacher Guns are ball and socket. The only linked bit between the torso and tracks is the waist, so fairly straight forward to re angle them and that

Other manipulator arms appear to attach via a semi circle shaped bit, so probably not that reposable.

I gave up doing non-Ork armies recently,but those Kaphron and the Dominus are making me regret that a little. Fantastic stuff.

Join us.....

I'm so glad those people that used to say "there shouldn't be any new armies!" aren't in charge. I love these new armies.

[Mr Mystery]

I'm wondering if there's been a removal of creative restraints at GWHQ, and how long ago it occurred.

It is of course tempting to jump to a conclusion and say 'when the CEO changed', except that was relatively recently. Granted I'm no expert, but my understanding of GW's creative process would suggest a much longer lead time than the few months since the changing of the reins.

Harlequins, Mechanicus, and rumours (salty as I consider them) of Genestealer cults, and it's like sad old duffers such as myself having all their Christmases come at once....

Whatever the trigger (quite possibly the drop in takings) I'm powerful chuffed at the new toys were getting to play with. Not only are the models fantastic, but the rules are suitably characterful. It's an exciting time to be a GW Nerd, spesh with 9th Ed Warhammer seemingly just around t'corner.

Yes, She's a 9 year old lazy Chilean Rose tarantula that has the personality of a rich CEO father's spoiled self-entitled daughter. She's very fluffy.

Has she ever urticated her hairs a bit much and been stuck with a bald spot until molting? They look adorably ridiculous when that happens.

Yeah, I'm pretty curious about the mechanics surrounding their development and release schedule - I can't help but think that a lot of the things we're seeing have been waiting in the wings for quite a while. For instance, Forgeworld commented that they wanted to put a Solitaire in IA11 (2011) but where told to leave Harlequins alone. Does that mean Harlequins were on a to-do list, or in a holding pattern back then, etc?

Nope, never haired me, She knocks her tunnel over, dumps her ball in her water dish or stomps her front feet if shes annoyed.

[Kirsten]

sounds like my ex...

[Mr Mystery]

Hurr!

Sounds like, well, all my ex's.

I think I'm a terrible boyfriend though - because that's the most rational explanation, given I'm the single common thread in each relationship!
