The heads look better without the visors. Actually, as seems to be the case recently, the models look better unpainted or painted by anyone else (see: Brews and Sprues) than GW’s own teams paint job!
New models incoming

I have to say, and I have been quite vocal about the helmets, that to me they look about a million times better without the visors. I'm glad I saw this.
My personal boycott has failed, lol. Recently I got hive scum, BB snotlings, paints, and just today a new Deimos Rhino.
The hereay era / Deimos Rhino kit is an improvement in every way over the standard kit. It's a better platform for converting to chaos and also fits my mixed era / old equipment Space Wolves. It fits together more cleanly especially the tracks. All the extra bits on the upgrade frame are tasty. This was well worth $40 (47 normal retail) when a single character is about $30 now. It's a perfect tribute to the old design, which I still have a few, while being more detailed and sized correctly for modern 40k past RT.
The Predator version will be hard to pass up honestly, when it comes out.
I think my Space Wolves could pass as a Heresy era force and they're gonna get it. My five Chaos Marine factions are furious but they will have to wait.
I never thought I would buy another Rhino chasis but here we are. I know any future new Rhinos I get will be this version.
Snotlings and scum are good kits, but I haven't studied them enough for any kind of review.

I wish you good luck and much fortitude if you'll be assembling the pump wagon(s) as intended.
Yeah that wagon looks a bit daunting and fiddly, lol. The Snots are often just two parts by comparison.
I will probably build one pump wagon to spec, and use the other for a conversion. Maybe combining both kits into a longer land ship could be fun.

Lol Boycott? I don’t really go out of my way to buy GW stuff over any other manufacturer but it just seems to happen 
I have 2 Scum kits, Ambots and the Market kits all nicely cellophane wrapped that Mrs Troll got me for my birthday back in April.
Plus for me their paint range is still rather good and I use it alongside the Vallejo and Army Painter ranges.

This is a big thing for me too. GW paints may be expensive, but they are really good these days, credit where it's due.
They are certainly polarising, but I honestly really like the helmets without the visors down. The giant ear cans give them a nice industrial vibe, where you would expect them to need serious hearing protection (since they probably care about their work force) and it allows for earphones integration to be able to talk while working etc.
I do think the 'half' visors are a little awk still, but there could be hope by having them half rotated instead of fully down to cover their faces without covering their faces.
I'm looking forward to grabbing a kit and trying it out.
New league of Votaan on Warhammer community. They look good. Similar enough to the necromunda ones that you could probably mix and match and expand the gang size. Mind you it sounds like it'll be an expensive gang
I read the sprews and brews article about the new book. The everyone can get dirt bikes sounds very cool. I was confused when they said a move 4 dirtbike though. That sounds very slow. Am I missing something with the way the vehicles are moving?
Just a few moments ago I saw a FB post that said they count as mounts and cost 50cr as wargear. I've also failed to pay close enough attention to any of the previous posts and reviews so I don't really know the capabilities of an M4 mount.
No preview I've seen has detailed what the Mounted Condition as granted by a bike as wargear actually does. All I can find so far is it allows drive by attacks with versatile weapons and causes you to take damage if pinned based on your last move distance. I presume it must somehow also improve your move stat or something because that's a very situational bonus and a big drawback so far.
The direbike is definitely 8" movement...you can see it in the video at this timecode. It also specifies it can represent other vehicles or mounts, and can even take an upgrade at the Arbitrator's discretion.
The new league models definitely look like a good mix and match with the 'munda ones. It would also be good to have some around with the bulkier armour to differentiate between actual models in carapace vs lighter armoured models.
Also, the ability to have non helmeted heads could be nice too for some.
Standard. I can see the disappointment but also the logic as these are meant to be primarily an Ash Wastes gang.
Waster's Dirtbike grants M 8", costs 50 credits and is available to all fighters of all gangs except:
- Crew.
- Ash Wastes Nomad.
- Wargear that affects movement (for example jump booster or grav-cutter).
