Ah, but its not a dread. Its a guy in an exoskeleton. (look at Witch Hunter Penitent engines)
I know. But it is still lanky and I still prefer the chunkiness of the SM dread.
Fair enough then. Cant argue with that. :D

Bah. Stop ripping off the APUs in the Matrix; they were crappy to start with, and so is that thing. :cry:

GW has pictures of the new Grey Knights up on its website.

*shrug*

shoulda been better. Not enough iconography on the termis (altho the captain is OK). The matrix thingy is just a silly idea, and no amount of bling would fix it. As AGP said, it was a silly idea in the matrix, and its still a silly idea now.

on the plus side, in no way do i feel inspired to start a new army. Hooray!

one thing - i quite like the kinda nmm effect theyve all got, especially the BigBattleSuit (BBS). shiny!
current (2019) hobby interests
eh, y'know. Stuff, and things

Wow. And then Corona happened. Just....crickets, all the way through to 2023...

Whilst the termie armour does have a few too many large flat bits that could have been a bit more bling, I am sure 20 minutes with a bitz box can solve that.
I like the big Dread Knight personally. From the previews on the GW page there are lots of extras for it, I just hope it is easy to repose it so it is a bit less static.

Agreed. Personally I like the dreadnought really much but it would be boring if they all looked the same and I think it is a welcome variation on the gaming table, but like Prim says, it is very static so it would be nice if you could customize the pose.

Dread Knight really looks like something that is a ripoff a Matrix APU or one of those walkers from the Avatar movie...I would have rather have seen a very cool dreadnaught.

the new terminators look good...

You can still take dreads as well as these things. Besides, everyone and their dog can have dreadnoughts, the blood angels release recently featured a lot of them, so as Seb says:

Plus the Matrix APU and the Avatar movie are kind of new compared to these:

GW have been sticking pilots on big mechs out in the open for decades now. This one just looks a LOT better.
