Does anyone know how big they are going to be?
Based on their price I assume they would be as big as Artemis or even bigger...
These look very good, if a bit Cryx-like, not a abd thing I just laugh at GW :P
Hopefully they'll be just the right size, lots of gubbins for conversions if they are!
They look very useful, very nice for servitors or perhaps even mutants or daemonhosts depending on the size.
Possible uses in my mind are:
Alien
Some sort of servitor or tech expert
Daemonhost
Possible parts etc. or could be an alien daemonhost (who says the inquisition are the only ones to create them!)
Can't really see mutant, imperial servitor at a stretch but I prefer my previous two ideas.

Possibly an arco flagellant
They're on 60mm flying bases, so they're analogous to dreadnoughts in bulk. Great bits on the sprues, but I've no idea why GW have put them on the website as two separate items when it's exactly the same set of sprues AND box for both of them.
It could become a mutant when the chronos 'leg' parts are made to look like tentacles. The rest would be some sort of armour.

Can't see where the mutant would get the armour, still if backed up by background it could work
Looking at Axiom's eldar threat (see 5 completed models on this page: http://www.the-conclave.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1165.30) I'd say this has all the accessories you'd need to create instant Dark Eldar at 54 mm. Not that people couldn't do that already, but it's really a one stop shop.
At that scale it looks to offer plenty of possibilities to turn Artemis into an Emperor's Children Marine as well. On a somewhat related note, GW seems to be all about the absolutely massive monsters these days. Not that I'm complaining, but you used to be able to count on something that scaled reasonably with INQ, while it's not necessarily the case today (turns out they're still monsters at 54mm).
I think all of those 'injector-y' bits and miscellaneous technical gubbins would do very nicely for an Inquisitor conversion or two.
I was just having another look at the images of the sprues and it struck me that the 5 face masks are probably the absolute perfect size for 54mm full-face helmets. Good not only for exodite/dark eldar but probably great for imperials in the right context as well.
Well as I've tentatively put in a order for one I'll let you know exactly what it comes with, and how nicely the masks fit etc. when I get it!
I went into Bristol GW shop today and the guy happened to be building one of these and let me look at the sprues, they look fantastic for Inquisitor, so much so that I pre ordered one. The head look a great size and all the gubbins have oodles of potential, the torso and arm also ar not too oversized for use on a character, chaos, mutant etc.
Definitely worth a purchase I think!
