      Hellbrute still looks lie a dread though to me

    2. PorkyAugust 17, 2012 at 1:34 PM

      The more I look, the more the details look off. It looks a bit too comic splatter, and the central structure is almost '80s Saturday morning cartoon.

      I bet that hell-brute is just chaos-infested dreadnought, just at those ragged edges around its daemonic head as if was blown by inner tension. Wonder about that daemon creature stats, it looks like it supposed to counter-balance entire terminator squad. I wished to see some unique raptors models (to counter-balance bike-squad), but c'est la vie, now I hope for same details level raptors to be released in September!

      I still expect that thing to be AV 12. If it's an AV 12 walker, with a fist and a multi-melta, then it's a dreadnought. A very pretty dreadnought, but one none the less.

      Delete
    5. GordonAugust 17, 2012 at 1:39 PM

      Yeah, but I'm assuming its not a straight-up dread. Maybe a daemonic dread or something.

      Delete
    6. DrBoredAugust 17, 2012 at 1:56 PM

      I'd be surprised if the Hellbrute was an entry in the Codex all on its own.

      I wouldn't be surprised if it was an upgraded form of a Dreadnought, like a Possessed dread or something, some option that has a point value that makes your dread extra chaosy, perhaps with regenerating hull points and immunity to shaken or stunned results, or the ability to regrow blown off weapons.

      Delete
    7. AnonymousAugust 17, 2012 at 3:51 PM

      Maybe its a uniqe dread
      Makes sence for GW to Limit the amount of use you get from DV Box.

      My guess is MC with 2+ sv

      Or maybe some gimicy rules like repair ?

      Delete
    8. AnonymousAugust 17, 2012 at 5:27 PM

      Maybe the Hellbrute is what happens when a dreadnought catches the Obliterator virus. If rumours be true then GW is already expanding the idea with close combat versions, could this be a big daddy walker version? It looks too organic to be 'just' a SUPA daemon-y dread to me. Of course maybe this is just me wishing there was a way to make an Obliterator army... take that Paladins! :P
      Oh... maybe next edition? xD

      Delete
    9. AnonymousAugust 17, 2012 at 6:57 PM

      hellbrute is pretty much just a dread with 'demon' special rule so = 5+inv and a few other quirky things. Defilers also count as demons now so they will have a 5+ inv too

      What's interesting is that in structure and texture there's not much new here, and they look like they could have been put out ten years ago. Plus the proportions are a bit inconsistent, almost as if they're the work of different sculptors or different models were sculpted at different times. Could some of thes have been waiting the best part of a decade for release? We know things do get put on hold.

      I'm with porky, look like necromunda cawdor gangers to me. Ah!!!! Necromunda, now that was a game! But reminiscence aside, are they new? Are they old? Who gives a monkeys? They'll do! I feared a re hash of daft skirt wearing goons.

      Delete
    5. SeiAugust 18, 2012 at 2:54 AM

      Agreed! They do look like Necromunda but they also look like beautiful new sculpts to me.

      And they are , imo, the kind of non armored figures that the game lacks. Of course there are IG but the figures are getting old except for a few new ones.

      Those cultists alone would lead to Chaos even though I promised myself I wouldn't.

      I think it is great they look kinda Necro (I'm going to use them for that too). Old school is better then the Storm Talon school. Which negative bacon complains about the Helbrute.

      I'm just grateful nothing looks anime or soda pop.

      You mean like Karl Franz? Oh wait...

      You mean like the Swarmlord? Oh wait...

      It's not like they could never do him differently than he was depicted before. Oh wait...

      I just imagine the old characters will stay...old. It's sad but true. Look at Dante, Mephiston, Corbulo, Logan, Ragnar, Ulrik, Bjorn, Stern, etc. It will have nothing to do with whether or not they are willing to make them plastic.

    3. AnonymousAugust 18, 2012 at 3:55 AM

      But look at the Franz and Swarmlord kits.
      Franz and the Swarmlord are each an optional build - the Franz kit can build a Griffon with a captain dude or an Amber Wizard, and the Swarmlord kit can make a footslogging Tyrant or a Flyrant.

      Oh, and they're monsters. GW couldn't release them as Finecast, or they wouldn't sell as well.

    13. DrBoredAugust 17, 2012 at 1:47 PM

      What's hilarious about this is that the DA models look subpar. They're just some tac marines with a few characters that look like all the other Space Marines. Only the Chaplain really stands out, and he just looks like another Chaplain. On the Chaos side you have tons of new models, new concepts, new designs and styles. Every unique model is a breath of fresh Chaosy air.

      And yet no mention of a CSM Codex? Just don't seem right.

    15. DrBoredAugust 17, 2012 at 1:54 PM

      Likely, but let's look at what we know.

      GW likes to put small finecast waves in between bigger releases as a way to spread out their releases while always having *something* new coming out. Look at the recent LOTR Finecast wave (and the very meh Bray Shaman that came out a little before). It's not groundbreaking, but GW released it to fill in the hole between the Chaos Daemons wave and the release of the new Starter Set.

      We know that the Starter Set is hitting the street September 1st (or was it 8th?). Next week is preorders for some finecrap on the 8th, which will probably release on the 15th. Then what? There's another 15 days of September and there's nothing else?

      Methinks we'll start seeing more Chaos Marines stuff as we get into September, and closer to the 15th.

    Those Chaos will look nice painted up as Word Bearers. :D

    Also, here's rough itemized list of cost (based on US GW prices from website), with some assumptions:

    - chaos lord $15
    - helbrute $60
    - chosen $35
    - cultists x2 $58
    - DA master $15
    - DA librarian $15
    - DA chaplain $15
    - DA terminators $50
    - DA tactical squad $38
    - DA bikes $41

    Total: $342

    That's some good savings! Now maybe we can lower the cost a bit, because the models don't have the versatility of multi-part kits. But even if we cut off $50-100 for that, the set is still a massive saving. So it would be well worth it to get two boxes for the core of a decent army.

      Even if the box is 150 dollars it's worth it. You're also forgetting to add in the value of the mini rulebook, and I think it also comes with dice and templates, and a little whippy stick that you can torture your cats with.

    Very nice stuff, I wonder if the hellbrute is very posable, though. Doesn't seem like it, judging by the picture.
    That Chosen with the maul is just begging to be used as a HQ, considering his pose and all.
    Hmm, DA are solid too. While I don't particularly need them, I suspect converting them for my vanilla marines should be easy enough. I just hope the shoulderpads are removable.

      Probably not too poseable, but with some green stuff work and a little inspiration, I'm sure we'll see plenty of conversions out of it.

      What I'm liking is that you can have 4 different Lords out of those Chosen... Cut off the Plasma Pistol on the first lord and give him a regular Bolt Pistol, then you've got a Lord with a Power Sword, a Lord with a Power Axe, a Lord with a Power Fist, and a Lord with a Power Maul, and finally a Lord with dual Lightning Claws so you can satisfy whatever need you have for your Lord or squad leaders.

    I think I figured out why there's no Chaos Marine stuff in here besides the starter set.

    If they let people know that Chaos was getting new stuff, it might cut into the sales they'll get from people wanting to buy things with the starter set for Chaos Marines, or if people knew that different or better Cultists were coming out in a box on their own, people might be less inclined to buy the whole box for 100+ dollars and would just get a box of cultists for 30 dollars.

    That's gotta be it...
