Drop Pod - Pics...

[Ravenheart]

Cool! Thanks for the pics!

The FW version is still nicer, but at £18 this one will do just fine.

So seating is side-on and back-to-back against each fin. 5 fins 2 seat ... logical really. Nice looking model. Thought that missile launcher looks a but silly on the inside where fins would break LOS.

Notice the SM's are the same old model nothing to indicate any new pieces/redesigns.

I like it but it looks very brittle and fragile. Doesn't strike me as something that can fall out of orbit and survive, especially with ten fully loaded Marines on board.

I have money in my pocket that is now reserved for , oh I reckon 3 should do.
Well worth the wait. Yes, the FW ones are nice but for the price difference these will do just nicely.

For it to hold a Dreadnought there would have to be a way to build it with 1 large door each side, similar to the FW one....so 2 design/build options.
Or 2 totally different kits...

I have a feeling that if you want your dread to come bursting out of a pod then you will have to buy the FW version.

I think those are the new marines btw as someone else pointed out. It looks like there are shadows around the U symbol.

[SilverScorpion]

If that's not convertable into a dreadclaw i'll eat my army

Looks nothing like a dread claw matey,how long will it take you to eat 7000 points? :P

If those are the new starter box marines, then I am suitably impressed. I have my doubts, however, they look exactly like the squad originally featured on the 3rd Ed Tactical Squad boxed set, and the image is too blurry for me to believe that's a shadow.

But that's just my .02 Imperials, of course.

Nice looking Drop Pod. Must have two of those for my Dark Angels.

[wickedvoodoo]

At long last we have a picture !!

How long has the plastic drop pod been rumoured for, must be years now.

Looks ok to me. I am not a marine player but i look forward to finally seeing some drop pod armies.

[The boyz]

Very impressive. I will deffinatley get two or three of them for my BA's, when I get round to starting them.

[Lance-a-lot]

I don't like that they put red on the trim of the missle launcher, it makes it look like a toy. Other than that, a very nice model!

Yeah, it looks like an egg-thrower!!!!

[Hellfury]

Last I heard about this, the pod ws supposed to be able to be made in either a 5 door infantry pod, or a three door dreadnought pod from the same box set.

Anyone confirm or deny this?

[Tommygun]

That engine piece is in fact harnesses for the Marines. Two per door x five doors = ten harnesses.

I hoping your right, but I fear it looks like a 5 man pod. I'll be happy if I'm wrong though.

[Hermanesq]

its definatly a ten man pod, theres 10 sets of harnesses in there that you could see if it asnt so blurry. *my bad, camera phone ftl*

They aernt the new marines either, their existing multi-parters.

Will try snag some pics of the rather nice new 3 piece mini's later.

I have an entire battle company that wants them for starters.
