Hi, i was recently looking into acquiring a Baal Predator. Having never even seen one irl i had a couple questions, since i havent been able to find much info online about it.

What would be the major differences between this model of predator and the standart model? Looking at the poor images i have been able to find of the sprue, the only thing i quickly spot r the blood angels themed decorations. Is that all? How many decorations does it have? What other models could come out of this sprue? What is the kitbash potential with newer models?

Any information or ideas r welcome! Thanks in advance!

What do yall expect or foresee for the future of these models?

Just like how all Firstborn r being replaced by Primaris, i fear that the old Castaferrum dreadnoughts r destined to be replaced by newer Redemptor models.

But what abt these iconic models? What do u figure will happen to stuff like Murderfang and Bjorn? Will they remain forever as the last remaining examples of Castaferrum, or will they get a new Redemptor version?

Recently have been getting into the Carmine Blades. And there is great potential here for more books and short storys.

Their lore is unique and fascinating: Their recent reforging from the Swords of Haldroth. Their inner conflict to accept their new Legions traditions. Their relationship with their Feral Homeworld of Haldroth and the influence that can come from it. How they r called savages among the Blood Angels Sucessors, but havent seen em compared to chapters like the Flesh Tearers or Knights of Blood.

All of it leading me to imagine em as a mix of the Emperors Spears or Space Wolves with the Blood Angels, which i just find too cool. Overall i wish there was more lore to them.

Anyone has more tidbits about em? Prehaps some short story i havent found? Any information about em that cant be found online in wikis and such?

(Ik the last image is Corbulo from the Blood Angels, but his unique paint scheme just happens to match the Carmine Blades perfectly, and there isnt much artwork of em.)

Recently been looking into building a couple dreadnoughts, and while looking for inspiration stumbled into a couple pieces of sword wielding dreadnought artwork. But this doesnt seem to be in any dreadnought kit. Outside of the Galactus Custodes dreadnought.

Any sword for dreadnoughts available? Has anyone built one? Whats the lore overall around dreadnought swords?
