New Plastic Assault Terminators
« on: June 20, 2005, 07:03:14 AM »
From Sleepwalker on the Bolter & Chainsword, who works at GW Head Office:

Quote
Heya- I know the assault terminators will not be out for a while, probably to be released around Games Day in the UK but I have just seen the new sprue and it looks rather spanky.

Included:

5 thunder hammers
5 storm shields (the hands are attached to the shield, not the holding arm) the sergeant shield is massive- it's about the same size as Archaon's shield.  :o
5 pairs of lightning claws in various poses
5 storm shield holding arms

plus:

a new head- shouting as usual  :D
another scroll case
several tabards and icons

this sprue will probably be added into the box though i am not sure if it replaces the existing weapons or is added to the box along with the storm bolters etc. The shoulder pads (the upper pads) are not included on the sprue leading me to believe that this sprue will just be added to regular box. I assume it will replace the weapon sprue already in there (someone correct me if the weapons are on the same sprue as the bodies.)

Anyways- no piccies available, just thought I would tell you what is coming in the near future.  :)

Thanks for the update, that sounds awsome! Lots of extra claws and hammers for the termies not equipped. Though they will probably cost as much as the shooty termies, which are might expensive. But nonetheless, sounds like a good f-in box set!

I know it doesn't say, but what would you guess the release date to be? I'm just wondering whether to beef up my DW now, or wait for the box and get the extra parts.

when they come out, it'll make sprue shopping easier.  (finally.. my GK termy and inquisitor will have the thunder hammers they need!)

they might also come in handy for blood ravens (aw... everyone's already in asssault?  deep strike behind enemy lines and join in the fray!)

Thats nice, I can finally get some Lightning Clawed Terminators - which cost only a small limb - not an arm and a leg...
The parts also sound generous.

Its an even stranger day when you have a fat Games Workshop-Fanboy Ninja declare to end you for something you did for April Fools on Teh Interwebz.

It's a strange day in the world where I find myself agreeing more often than not with Swiper.  :D

yep thunder hammers where easy to convert, as where storm shield, but lightning claws involved a power fist in each hand and lots of the same knifes.. or green stuff and plastic card

They'll probably cost the same as the current plastic Termie box. Or worse, they'll be more.

it costs an arm and a leg, though you get lots of useful arms
