@disqus_IRUpXsOZST:disqus I agree, I’ve always had to convert an aiming one before, and as for grav-weapons, terminator killer for a tacsquad? Sign me up!

Agreed. One of my own “counter-point” is that the armour’s machine spirit won’t let you fire the bolter if you don’t have to, hence the finger that can linger on the trigger…. And, if SM do fire a stray shot by error…. Whoe else to blame than the Emperor himself ?!?

Still, I am completely fond of those small details that add so much character to the models… So thanks to the sculptor

True. Technically though, if you have Power Armour with all sorts of in-built targeting-shenanigans, you wouldn’t really need to lift the weapon to the eye to aim.

You could probably aim just as well shooting behind you over your shoulder or whatever, with the target displayed in your helm.

Sternguard at 30 pounds is good I guess because they are so detailed theyre like a squad of characters and they are 15 pounds each so in total 75 pounds. They are cool but 6 pounds for one is a bit to exspensive

[…] The make-over of (presumably) Games Workshop best-selling box of miniatures of all time, the humble Tactical Marines, is no less […]

Yup. Looking forward to how these go. Concussive is the rumour so far…

You would think so, but they, in fact, were not. If you’re thinking of the torso with the “X” shaped power cables connecting to the grill in the center – that is a Mk5 torso.

The Mk.6 breastplate has somewhat of a “W” arrangement of cables leading from the shoulders and head to a central chest module from which a single cable continues to the belt.

GW hasn’t released a plastic Mk.6 torso since the RTB01 Imperial Space Marines in the Fall of 1987…when I purchased mine!

I believe Games Workshop sells them unpainted, actually
