    A 40k laser pointer? Interesting addition to the range, first time I’ve seen a wargames branded pointer.


    Gitteau says:

    It’s their tie-in to the new LoS rules in 40k 5th edition.

    And illegal in Australia! Fun fun :P


    Jonathan says:

    However, it’s stupidly-made. They’d do well to have something like a wee mirror in the tip to point it 90 degrees away from the body of the device, so you can get the laser to start pretty much exactly at the model’s head.

    P.S. Why is a laser pointer any better than (a) your eyes or (b) a nice stiff ruler or (c) a long slender dowel?

    Because it’s a laser. It would work best if it was the way you described…


    Craig Grady says:

    That laser pointer is genius, its going to be a laser light show in every GW store around the world. I wonder how much blind kids spend on mini’s anyhow?

    More importantly will it be in the shape of an “Emperors Flashlight”TM?


    Trent McCaffrey says:

    Not as crazy as the Citadel Spray Gun shaped like a hand-flamer.


    evernevermore (John) says:

    No the laser pointer is not lasgun shaped - its more of a tau looking thing. It is specifically shaped so you rest in on the model and aim. And on second look Im not sure its a true laser pointer - might just be a strong LED showing through a crosshair aperture.

    Actually I like the spray gun - most modeling ones that are similar look pretty crappy too and this one atleast looks to have a decent trigger on it.


    Zac says:

    It is Tau designed as it is a Markerlight :-)


    talthar says:

    Anyone have an idea what’s in the sets? I’m particularly interested in the Necron set.


    king_Doberman says:

    I’d all so like to know what is in the Necron Phalanx box set.


    Sentient Bean says:

    I bet the retail staff are going to love having the laser pointers blinding them during the school holidays…

    Hand flamer spray gun! bwhahahahaha.

    What next? The chainblade hobby knife?


    djgustav says:

    Actually, a power axe hobby blade of course! I rather like the direction. What I am curious about are these mini packs — i.e. 5 imperial guard. I assume these are single sprues, or…?


    evernevermore (John) says:

    the rumors about the mini packs are that they will be limited number of pieces and poses. Ive heard through Bell of Lost Souls that they will have the detail of regular figs just limited poses like the marines from battle for macragge.


    Jonathan says:

    re: the small mini packs, I believe they’re going to be snap-fits like this: http://warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=136064

    When I first saw them I thought they looked terrible, but given what a pain it is to assemble an IG platoon, I’m sure they’ll be welcome.


    a_thousand_hats says:

    Snapfit minis for horde-armies have to be a good thing - I’m liking that idea.

    Laserpointers in the hands of teens gah! I can see the crashes on the streets now as drivers are dazzled by sniper fire from local GW shopfronts.

    Cool idea - could be interesting to see how it develops in practice.

    I’m with the ‘use your eyes, common sense and, as a last resort, a stick’ for settling arguments about LOS ;-P


    Saint of Killers says:

    i saw a preview at my local gw store (they did a cool powerpoint presentation), the necron set is composed by 4 box of necrons warriors, 3 destroyers and the monolith (maybe i don’t remember the number of boxes for each unit but i’m pretty sure this is the content)


    gavroche says:

    snap-fit really puts me off. I actually enjoy gluing together the multi-part plastics :-)
