I think the army will be as good as any other army coming out of GW as of late, but wont be nearly as easily adapted to as a power armored army...
I'm in, for at least painting some up. Just put in my pre-order.
Here is the prototype mock-up. You can see the boarding plank partially extended - though I have looked at the sprues and I can't find it.
I can't put my finger on it, but something about the mock-up that seems nicer than the actual finished model.
I definitely see it on the finished model. And on the Ravager that's the place where the side sponsons plug in.
I see it on the first sprue pic, lower left. It isn't a plank, just a small piece to plug the notch. Obviously something a little plasticard can fix right up.
It is the sail. In the mock-up the prow and sail make the same angle, giving it a swept, graceful line from nose to top fin. The finished model has a smaller nose and more vertical sail. I might omit the top piece of the two part sail.
Edit: I take that back, there's two different sails. Definitely not going with the three-rib, more vertical one.
