The keen eyed will quickly notice just how many new parts are involved here:
- Modelled wings on shoulder pads – ideal for pre-Heresy Emperor’s Children as well as Blood Angels.
- A new mark III helmet, easily converted to any legion by removing or adapting the tears on the mouth guard.
- Another mark IV helmet, similar to the Black Templar sprue.
- Mark V and VIII chest plates – Mk 8 is great for Mk II conversions!
- High-crested shoulder pad – useful for Custodes or Honor guard kit bashes.

It’ll be interesting to see the sprues, and see how many of each component there are.
I think GW have done a good job with the various Chapter-specific plastic kits; they’re very versatile, beyond their intended uses.
It would be nice to think they are aware of us and our needs for pre-Heresy and maintain the variety of classic armour bits within new releases. I’m happy either way 🙂
I can tell you that you guys will be very happy with the sprues that contain the new Blood Angels parts. There are several different armor pieces that are new to this release as well as awesome power weapons that are new…. and wings instead of jump packs? I won’t go into specifics but this is just a taste of what you guys have in store for you.
Indeed, check the latest post 🙂
