Space Marines Rumor Roundup

[MajorWesJanson]

I'm actually going to name my Centurion Sergeant Rory Williams.

To go with Canoness Pond and Inquisitor Eleven?

To go with Canoness Pond and Inquisitor Eleven?

Right! And when the other two Centurions die I will then make a speech about how the Last Centurion will not fail!

[deinol]

So the Grav weapons wound against armor apparently...why did the function of them change in 10,000 years? The HH grav weapons force a strength test, that's even how the ones the Contemptor can take work, so why suddenly do the C:SM ones work differently?

You haven't been playing long enough if you don't think GW would change the rules and retcon how things work. New GW rules never contradict FW books?

[Brakkart]

I believe this is the correct GW Teaser.

Yup armour suit with extra armour and weapons systems strapped on top of it. Didn't GW just have a court case about people stealing their ideas/IP and making money from it?

[Archon]

Those suits are ripe for converting to obliterators

I fear they are kind of loyal obliterators. And yes, maybe they are convertable für mutilators, not that i like muties anyway but in this special case, the centus look better

Dont´t like the centurion-things. They look clumpsy. And they are far from conventional fluff. Okay the xth version of Rhino/Land Raider/-Speeder/Dread will barley wake a cat but, i should be possible to do a sm release without "there must to be a new unit".

[ecuas]

These are awful models, GW design team are really starting to look second rate compared to FW marine stuff.

[pauljc]

Liking this new Marine stuff. Those Centurions are going to make killer Word Bearer Obliterators!

[Vlad78]

It happens every release:

A handful of poor quality pictures released, met with hows of outrage.
A few more, better pictures released, opinion mellows
Pre-orders go up, 360 pictures go up, opinion turns positive.

Every. Single. Release.

when did stormtalons and ravens turn into decent models? They didn't.
I'm tired of having to rework models I pay for.

Thanks kirsten.

I think they look solid. Not amazing or mindblowing, but not awful/bad either. Pretty much what I'd expect really.

Looks like a few more pictures here : [url]http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/1200/543907.page[/url]
And are those Black Templars on the back of the same box?? I can't really tell personally as I don't know much about them...
