I don't have the rules for these but do you think us Nid players could benefit? I know it's not particularly fluffy.

We can use Void Shield Generators, as far as I know. There is no army restriction on them in SHA that I've seen.

My origin plan for a Void Shield generator was to use my FW Spore Chimney. Looking at this official model, I can do that very thing with more confidence. It appears to be similar in size and structure.

It doesn't do anything to me, but at least we will have dimensions to make a nidtastic one.

GW is really taking the "Mine's Bigger" philosophy to heart. Kind of tired if each thing they release having to be bigger.

Ten! Ten lumps of resin!

Popular theory is that the plastic fortification kits haven't sold very well, so they're saving on production costs and only dropping 1k of these.

Other theories suggest they're releasing a mini so that people know what scale to model the thing on. That one seems unlikely, given GW's history of c***blocking other companies, though.

Subject to Instinctive Forum Behavior: Lurk.

There's still a few in the older codexes that don't have models, mostly amongst the special characters but also a few IG vehicles I think. I suspect we won't see any new codexes without models though.

If you include FW, I believe IG, DE, and Orks are the only Dexes left with gaps. Mostly Special Characters and a couple of IG Artillery vehicles. At least one of the IG gaps (the Hydra) is being filled in the new release, and I am confident that any of them that don't get filled in the next release will be removed.

That is the least amount of skulls I've ever seen on a GW fortification piece. I only counted like 32. They must being doing cutbacks. Every piece needs at least 100, for me to remember it is a wargame...

Aren't these things cheap pointwise, and can't you field multiples? It really makes sense that it is limited run...

Oh and another kick in the Toxin Sacs, no.. No you can't have an immobile pod unit. You like mad scientist immobile shields though right?..

Oh well, it looks pretty cool, I wish there was a mad scientist race. (DE?). I would Einstein a Haemo and golden. Maybe even try to model a little operating table so you can do frankenstein.. Ahem "Orkenstein."

My jetbike warlocks still don't exist, and that was the main reason I did my Elfdar, other than the undead. Wraithknights make jaigers look like whiney little kids.

Not sure why they went for the limited run either. Makes White Dwarf a little more pointless this week: Hey, buy our model... Oh wait, you can't, its already sold out.
