I bought the Neraph/Seraph kit. It continued the trend of being one giant mold line, however the material wasn't their "Restic" I'm used to from my Bane Thralls and battle boxes... it was much, much easier to clean them old lines and still feels very durable. So while not perfect by any means, it's an improvement.

On the plus side, it was incredibly easy to magnetize with it having preformed slots basically for a 1/8" round magnet. That's a massive plus. And it's really good looking, too!

I can confirm that the TEP is sprued plastic. There is a photo over on the Google+ WM/H group, but as I'm at work, I cannot link or post it.

But it appears the change has finally occurred.

I had to request missing parts from the UK parts service 12 times since I started Warmachine this year, all for stuff bought new from retailers. Worst thing is when you wait weeks so eti es for a retailer to get the stuff, then the missing part means waiting 2-4 weeks to complete it!

By comparison two items from Warlord gave been badly mis packed, and no item from GW since 1988 has ever been missing, wrong etc

I'll just leave this here...

MAJOR improvement on their plastics there if you ask me.

**Aesop the God Awful**

That is a good looking sprue. The details are looking a bit soft, but it's not really any worse than you'll get from most companies plastics.

In terms of quality I've generally been pretty lucky with PP's stuff. I've had harsher luck with pieces and stat cards missing than I've had with mold lines and miscasts etc, but some stinkers have been the Battlegroup plastics and the Spriggan kit.

Well Convergence does have the cleanest lines and probably the least small detail. Probably won't get much sense of the plastic's ability to hold detail till they make a beast or a normal warjack.

The TEP is absolutely bonkers.

It gets 2 sprays base. And then it gets three servitors each turn.

For each servitor completely within its left arc, it gets an additional die on attack rolls. For each completely within its right, an additional die of damage. For each completely within its back arc, it gets one additional spray.

So if it sticks one in each arc, its rolling 3 die for attack and damage and has 3 spray 10s. It can get as high as 5 sprays, 5 die for attack, or 5 die for damage if it goes all in one arc.

And to top it all off, it has Sac Pawn on its 3 little derp bots.

It's worse than you think. For each servitor in its back arc, it get another autofire attack. It is Autofire [2]. I was praying this thing would never see the light of day. It is just crazy good!

It's sickeningly good. I used to play at a club where the resident

gamer started with CoC. I can see these getting an outing!
