[Archive] DEATH SHRIEKER ROCKET & MAGMA CANNON up for preorder on Forgworld

GRNDL:

Its a shame they brought these out so soon after the others - my bank account has yet to recover and I’ve had to spend $$ on a lot of other things. These are going to have to wait. ;(

gIL^:

for people that dont want them minis i think this would be a great magma cannon

Zanko:

I’m quite disappointed that the two new warmachines are too much similar!

More diversity would be cooler.

Nonetheless the models are quite nice but I’m not sure to buy them … :~

wallacer:

Quite fetching. I think i’ll hold off on buying them until I get my Infernals and Iron Daemon painted though.

Admiral:

Don't get me wrong I like all of them iron deamon hellshreiker and the magma cannon I do. The thing that I always look at is could you scratch build them yourself and I think you more than likely I could so for me I will not be getting any just yet.

Thorne
I agree. These pieces are great but given the hellcannon as the only pre-existing examples of chaos dwarf technology, I would have expected something that went further bringing in that more sculptural appearance. The hellcannon is daemonic but still these should have had a bit more going for them. Given this aesthetic I think my own scratch build will be more fun.

Agreeing with the two above gentlemen.

I'll have an ardous go at Hellcannonifying my planned FW CD artillery pieces later on. :P

Shosuro:

The magma cannon is very good, probably a “must be” in all the lists. With 2 of this things you can do a spicy barbecue with your opponents army ^^<br><br>And the deathshrieker is better than expected. Its a mortar but more aimed, and with the monsterslayer option. Not bad.

Summerian:

I’ll be getting a magma cannon after I finish painting the iron daemon but the crappy crew member with the telescope in the death shrieker puts me off of it slightly :frowning:

Borador:

I like the deathshrieker, the magma cannon, hmm… not so much. (I dislike the crew anyway so I’ll just comment on the machine ;P)

What I do find odd is that you can’t add another vehicle to the back of the magma cannon and deathshrieker, there is no hook to attach anything to!

On the opposite hand, I really like that miniature. He looks like a Mesopotamian astrologist.

Baraz Gorechain:

Don’t like the ‘rocket’ it fires. Other then that, cool models.

Abecedar:

Great to see more coming but the Bank balance is shot so I’ll definitely have to plan to build own. just hope I do better than the own built hellcannon.

thrawn:

I really like these models and am definitely going to start a CD army (if I ever have enough money).

Novogord Vivendi:

I’m actually waiting more for that book, with the rules and army list.

I like the models, but they are a little to expensive for me, certainly to collect a whole force of them. I dislike the horns on most of the dwarfs. If they where only present at some of the hero figures, it would be much nicer. Now they look a little cartoony for me.

Xander:

I am also waiting for the book at this point. I got a set of the first wave, but for any more, I want to know what kind of army I am building.

Sanguinarian:

Models are nice (except for the Deathshrieker crewman with the stick who, in that pose and with that beard and horns, kind of looks like Pan), but I'm not quite sure why the rules for the Deathshrieker feel the need to laboriously reiterate how a stone thrower is fired. About three paragraphs could be replaced with "fires as a stone thrower, but use the black powder war machine misfire table".

Elementary mistakes like that don't make me optimistic about the eventual book...

Thommy H
I was wondering that myself though I do have a theory on how it could potentially be useful. Placing a token rather than picking a model means that you can potentially fire into combat or shoot a model behind a building (especially combined with the homing missile daemons ;))

There are simpler ways to do that (hobgoblins having "life is cheap" for example) but that's my thinking on why they did it.

Xander
A lot of people are either waiting for the book or to see the basic chaos dwarf warriors/blunders.

Yep. Come their release, that's when the little landslide will happen. Also, quite a lot of people are saving up so that they can afford FW CDs.

ChungEssence:

ooooh Very nice. Like the Magma Cannon a lot.

Not so fond of the rocket launcher… i prefer the ‘classic’ Death rocket

to be honest, Im not really a fan of the magma cannon, the crew awesome

but i think the death rockets crews look a bit to much like hell boy

I think il probably scratch build a death rocket on a trailer and just add crew from other warmachines

Smagma:

Funny thing. I ordered my magma cannon and deathshrieker rocket 2 days ago, and just rec’d notice that it has been shipped. I thought it was a preorder for later this month? Maybe they are shipping early knowing that it won’t reach me in the States before the official release date. Can’t wait to get them and can’t wait for the basic CD warrios and BB to be released. I hope a GW option is included. -S
