New Guard Stuff

Yerp, new Russ Battle Tank/Vanquisher/Eradicator/Exterminator/Expectorant is up for advance order, as is the new Manticore/Deathstrike, perfect for all those occasions when you simply cannot abide the Eldar Revenant nine tables over.

The Deathstrike isn't phallic enough and the Manticore has a saggy rack. The Russes I guess are okay, if you like that sort of thing.

I like the new turrets - over the old style - now I am glad they have got around to making the BT variant. I agree in a way about the Deathstrike. It's like they had five missiles lying around and thought, let's build one great mecha-missile. No, it should just a big missile. A King Missile, if you will. And yes the Manticore is a slightly odd looking contraption. But so indeed are all 40k machines generally, and Guard specifically.

The manticore was based on the Epic scale one, except the 40k one looks like its had a stroke on each side...personally I quite like them both but just personal taste I guess.
