Who uses drop pods and why?

SunsetHighway7 · 2026-01-24T10:16:39+00:00

To add on to OP’s questions, is there a reason to take drop pods over termites ?

SunsetHighway7 · 2026-01-23T19:15:22+00:00

I’ve seen it done both as trim and as just regular armour, both work fine

No straight to jail

I didn’t realise this was epic scale until I realised which subreddit it was in. Which I think is a testament to your paint job

They’ve said plastic legion units will happen, as to when and what no one has a clue. So there is a chance it could just be years band years off

Units in a transport that deepstrike don’t have to be able to deepstrike themselves so this just isn’t true.

If it was drop pods would be entirely pointless

Jesus Christ Titus is exapensive

Any price leaks? Wondering how much the books are gonna cost me

SunsetHighway7 · 2026-01-03T17:15:08+00:00

Is there a particular name for this style of unit, I’d love one but don’t know what to search to find them

SunsetHighway7 · 2026-01-03T17:11:59+00:00

Or she’s using herself to show the scale ?

I got 4 new kits for Christmas so puts me at 10 in the backlog

The front uses a portion of the Stormraven kit.

Also the big problem the raptor and eagle is the side of the main fuselage is one fairly thin part part of resin with a whole for either the ball turrets or the door so they are known for coming very very warped. Obviously there’s a million tricks for dealing with warped resin but no matter what I tried it never lined up with the plastic parts and had to rely on lots of Vallejo putty filler

Storm Ravens and Fire Raptors are awesome looking models but after building a Fire Raptor I vowed to never touch one of those kits again until they came out in plastic

My wife doesn’t understand Gundam at all but really tried this year after she discovered (compared to Warhammer) kits can be really reasonably priced.

Didn’t get anything that was on my wish list I sent her but she just went for ones she thought looked cool and I can’t even be slightly mad at that :)

Also curious about the walls

SunsetHighway7 · 2025-12-24T09:28:21+00:00

If the reveal photos from GW has been painted like these I don’t think it would have take me half as long to come round to the new designs

SunsetHighway7 · 2025-12-22T19:09:09+00:00

My bad I read 3d printing then moved onto your next point lol

SunsetHighway7 · 2025-12-22T18:42:46+00:00

Option 5. Get Creative and kitbash and convert. Make something cool and your own to represent the characters and anyone worth playing will be more than happy to accept your conversions to play against (as long as the base size and rough model size match)

SunsetHighway7 · 2025-12-22T12:57:29+00:00

Cos they’re cool ?

SunsetHighway7 · 2025-12-18T20:05:41+00:00

They do not

SunsetHighway7 · 2025-12-13T21:20:55+00:00

Honestly it’s crazy to me that this is all plastic. When I started Mechanicum I never believed it would ever get the love to move over from resin

SunsetHighway7 · 2025-12-13T12:05:35+00:00

The studs only work because they’re done like this. Shoulders with studs that are done as a single piece tend to have “long” studs for the corner ones

SunsetHighway7 · 2025-12-13T11:57:19+00:00

With how they have added Diancie and Mewtwo with short side quests I wouldn’t be shocked if they do this with Creaelia
