I guess i don't need to point out what is about to happen tomorrow.

Interesting, when new models come, i take more interest in what bitz are useable for conversions.
So, the new HQs are completelly worthless to me. Not to mention, that the Captain-of-the-Black-Reach-box 2.0 is completelly unnecessary, and the helmet of the chaplain looks like from the 90th. Ugly as shit, although his armor and the librarian are pretty nice. But 25€ for a single model with a small sprue, an optional head and limited to no posing capabilities? Am i made of money? They are even more expensive than the new Finecast-Apocalypse-Captains, who all look better. I guess GW has gotten so greedy, they forgot how sell stuff.

The other new models are bitz-boxes to me. Expensive but awesome. Modular Kombi-Weapons, Stern- and Vanguard, finally additional vehicle parts and an anti air missile laucher that looks like a heavy mortar and might be used for optional Vindicator- or Whirlwind-designs or even a custom Thunderfire cannon. Even the Centurions have universally usable Bitz. In my minds eye i see Obliterators made from Centurions, not half as ugly as the originals (but more expensive).

I guess i need the vanguard-box (the shooty elites, can't remember wich guard is wich in english) just to make the still missing HQs. Two versions of Calgar and Vulkan He'stan, Helbrecht, Champion of the Emperor and Grimaldus, and I hope the new codex will also contain an Iron Hands HQ, as they are the only loyal first founding chapter left with no own HQ.

tl;dr: New HQ nö, rest ja.
