So, as someone who already owns Chaos undivided, I get to play with all the heads right......

I'm sure we can expect Khador Scout lance heavier than any Steiner lance could ever be.

Yea, I don't care about the alt-setting tbh, but those minis are going to make GREAT pirate mech options, or Marian Hegemony, or even Comstar/WoB commander units. The customizable pieces are pretty cool.

It is amazing how butt-hurt some people are online about any new release that doesn't directly interest them. People are just absolutely committed to being unhappy

So... no one's looking at this as Catalyst's April Fool's joke?  I don't play 40K, but even I get the Battletech Gothic being a play on Battlefleet Gothic from at least the late 90s.  I have to imagine if this was a serious product line, that Games Workshop would be suing...

It appears to me that this is more of a Limited run sub-line, what with two more themes being announced. In my group, we've started looking at using these minis as Pirate/Solaris Jock/Lyran Moneybags (Rich Asshole) sculpts, and we've also started kicking around the Idea of doing a Tharkad Productions-style integration into the main timeline, as a set of missions to be "Actors" in a Kaiju production for the TPB. (I along with one of my other players have already come up with a Mecha-Godzilla design for Solaris when we get there in a couple months)
