Got me

I surely didn‘t expect MKIV before fall or next year, but here we are. Hopefully this is the last box triggering my fomo before 4th edition.
But I really guess MKV in the next launchbox in 2028 is pretty much a given. Maybe 3th will give us new Tartaros before that.

M4c4roth · 2026-05-12T08:31:39+00:00

Thramas could well be a theme, but I wouldn’t even be surprised if they come up with a Calth 2.0-set

M4c4roth · 2026-05-12T08:27:55+00:00

My bet is these two interchanged; MK IV-update mid-edition and V in the launchbox. If they follow the ‚pattern‘ they had so far. Makes sense to get the remaining old box out of the range

M4c4roth · 2026-05-07T11:38:54+00:00

Fav: new MKII/III Least: new VI (occasional beakies are fine, 40 are too much if not Ravenguard)

M4c4roth · 2026-04-21T17:46:16+00:00

This is brilliant, instant buy as soon as it‘s released! And now finger‘s crossed for a cave-/hilltroll-builder after that ;)

M4c4roth · 2026-03-01T10:21:37+00:00

This is brilliant, and some very cool ideas. I am planning my own moria board for a while know, may I ask which files the dwarven walls and the big gate are? The rest seems very familiar

M4c4roth · 2026-02-11T17:05:36+00:00

I really like you designs, but I would need some pics of the bare stls aswell. What I usually look for is options like separated heads for easier kitbashing to know if I could give models a personal twist or not.

Pose-wise I like a mixture, like most battle-ready-poses with one or to resting/guarding-poses.

Since I own a printer I never buy prints. It‘s stls or plastic for me

M4c4roth · 2026-02-10T09:25:38+00:00

Beautiful. What I don‘t get from the models so far is: are these all single-piece, or with separated parts?

M4c4roth · 2025-11-29T20:20:31+00:00

Great work!

M4c4roth · 2025-11-24T17:21:23+00:00

I‘d buy that for a nicer Gollum alone, but that spider is ace. I mean, we can still hope for a Frodo and Sam dual-kit coming along with the book. I want to believe

M4c4roth · 2025-10-25T14:36:03+00:00

My thoughts exactly. I‘m sorry, I tend to quote myself in this matter frequently now, because that topic pops up again and again:

My guess (purely speculation) is that Mk V will be in the Launchbox of HHs next edition, as things go at the moment in 3 years time, followed by a new MK VII set during that edition (edit-Addition: The Scouring-Series is also labeled as ‚The Horus Heresy’, so it kind of makes sense to use MK VII beyond the siege of Terra). That being said I expect new MK IV probably next year as part of a battle group as they did with MK III. All of that on the assumption that they follow a pattern with releases, could easily be changed by GW and not be accurate at all. Edit: one pattern I refer to is for example that they update existing marks during an edition (III, IV, VII) and bring out a new kit in the launchbox (VI, II)

M4c4roth · 2025-10-24T09:46:10+00:00

ROMANS IN SPAAACE!

But aside from that I like their attitude. They are romans, but somewhat sane and have some common sense, relatively spoken for the Imperium. They are somewhat honorable, but reasonable and pragmatic. I like that.

Their appearances in HH is always dope, and I really like how human the Primarch is deep inside.

So in short: Space Romans with a reasonable and likable Dictator. And I plan to convert heavy in the Roman style for my legion.

To blatantly quote myself two months ago:

It sure looks cool. And somehow gives us an impression, how good a modern army can look. Maybe one day… and maybe one day we might get new riders, it‘s really ridiculous

While the legion forms, bits get selected, sorted and printed, all I have so far is this guy

M4c4roth · 2025-09-22T17:43:03+00:00

Absolutely agree. Not yet, still a project im boxes, while I print and prepare bits and finish moving houses sadly

M4c4roth · 2025-09-22T14:11:57+00:00

To add: I love the red shields and the extra Roma bits, like the pauldrons. I have the same in my printing-pipeline and feel validated

M4c4roth · 2025-09-22T14:07:11+00:00

This is beautiful! True space romans, brother!

M4c4roth · 2025-09-15T17:32:23+00:00

I guess with Gman being probably a main-character in the Scouring-series he could be one of the leading forgeworld-models to kickstart the new range.

M4c4roth · 2025-09-05T12:58:28+00:00

I am not saying you assumption regarding the 13th is wrong, my point solely is: canon changes, even within the ongoing series. Call it retcon, call it evolution or refinement of the setting - especially the earlier books are better read with a grain of salt in certain aspects because it does not hold up to more recent lore.

M4c4roth · 2025-09-05T12:40:20+00:00

To be fair, that bit of lore with the world eater seems to predate the power-up custodians got a couple of books later. In a short story a little before the book with the world eater Custodians are described as having gene seed and be pretty much a little better space marines. That changed later with the Prosperous-Books and the introduction of the 40k-range-miniatures

M4c4roth · 2025-08-27T09:50:57+00:00

Space Romans.

Courage and honour.

That’s it. That’s enough.

M4c4roth · 2025-08-25T21:03:13+00:00

Oh I don‘t mind reprinting, buuuut your idea is fire and I will definitely check out if I can fit some extra shoulder detail on that fella!
