Another pick. Not much better. These are the Centurions, BTW.

Are they 1 piece models? Yuck.

I seriously don't understand how so many people managed to think that these models were good enough to sell. I don't mind the concept at all; but the execution seems seriously lacking. As Tim pointed out to me earlier though, the models usually always look better with 360* views on the GW website, and even better than that in person. So I'm trying to recognize my knee-jerk reaction for what it is before writing them off The anti-aircraft tank looks pretty sweet, Vanguard Veterans are pretty generic. I'm excited to see what Sternguard look like; and some of the new characters (particularly the Chaplain). We'll see what happens with Black Templars as well, currently looks like they're being folded into this codex.

Here's the original concept: Now, look at what we got. GW failed miserably with these.

It looks like the tabard/plates in front of the legs are a seperate piece. If that's the case, terminator legs might look better on them depending on the size comparison. Then you can wrap the tabard/plates farther around the body to give the armour more of a shielded look. The arm weapons would look sweet on a Dread, but just look awkward and too cumbersome on these guys.
Like Brian said, I'm hoping my initial reaction to them is wrong and once we get a 360 look it won't be as bad.

I'm glad I have these guys coming from the Sedition Wars kickstarter.

Yeah, the Dev Centurions don't look so awkward. The legs are still too bulky IMO buy it's not quite as bad. I do like the new chaplain model.

aagh... really difficult to get excited about Centurions with those pics, they really look as one piece (starting set) models in the other hand there is the AA tank which looks really cool ;D

Visual confirmation of BT being in the SM codex, and another shot of the Centurions too (they look way better when they're in that dead sexy black and white scheme ). Sternguard pics are floating around too.

I must agree, that black pattern is damned smexy

I bet the centurions are gonna be like the stormraven kit; crappy pics but an overall good model in person. I think the new book will be good, and it gives me a good chance to start a pre-heresy imperial fist army with some BT
