Straight from FWBlog14.

Huzzah!

Oh!

10 man tactical squad £25
Combi weapons £15

Boom! 10x Sternguard £40

or 2x5 Sternguard £60...

[Mr Mystery]

Yup.

Though do note the lack of Gravguns.

Which is no doubt a carefully calculated slight and slap against someone on Dakka. Because these things always are. Apparently.

[Wolfshade]

Meh, don't tend to use them. Prefer meltas...

[Psychosplodge]

Gravguns are ugly anyway.
Plasma or meltas look best.

[Brakkart]

Nice release that, I can see me getting a pack or two of these for future projects.

[Mr Mystery]

Just wish they'd do the same for the Cataphractii.....

[Tyrendian]

can't you just use them? the "grip" part for the second/under-barrel hand isn't obviously a grip, could just as well be part of the weapon itself - maybe decorative plating or some such... or are the bolter parts on Cataphractii combis twinlinked?

[Mr Mystery]

Twinlinked.

Plus, the hands for the Cataphractii are attached to the weapons, and I'm not at all sure I could actually be arsed to sort that out.

forge world grav guns are quite different to GW grav guns, so maybe they just wanted to release a multi use set that can be used for anything, and will release a grav set later.

looks like a great set to have though, I will buy one, even with no specific project in mind, very handy to have.

[Mr Mystery]

I dare say it's also wee'd on some 3rd party bitz sellers.

I mean, being FW you know these are going to fit, and be easily recognised by your opponent.

I doubt it's a death knell like, but it's certainly something GW have been needing to release!

Only annoying part is that with the grip instead of the hand these aren't straight off compatible with the current plastic Tactical/Sterguard minis. Good thing I've still got plenty of the old hands on style tactical right arms.

Aren't all the FW weapons ones with grips? All the ones I've bought are like that. (Admittedly, a very small sampling.)

Probably. Their resin marine kits are all like how the Plastic tac marines used to be; both left and right arms had hands, and you would cut the grip off the gun you wanted and glue it to the top of the right hand. You still get plastic marines like that in stuff like the Devastator and Command squad boxes, otherwise your option is cutting the right hand off one of the bolters in the newer plastic marines and then gluing on a FW gun.

tl;dr if you're buying FW resin marines, you're all set. If you're buying new Plastics, better have old arms or prepare to be cutting stuff.

I like em...not cheap but I would only use them on Sergents and a Sternguard squad...although I need to actually get more then 2 captains & 5 marines to start a Deathwatch strike force detachment for my Guard...
