I like the SF Roman General, I think it’s the best one they have done so far.

However it’s still the same face yet again, kind of lets it down a bit

The Egyptian weaponry may make for some nice Necron conversions.

The Mad Dwarf is a perfect Bloodbowl Reroll counter.

Does scibor know that I am thinking of starting a pre-heresy 1k sons army and sculpted some weapons just for me?

Great stuff, love the dice dwarf!

Was considering whether it is easier to sculpt the BB symbols on it, or to remove the die and put in an actual block die.

These new sets are VERY nice!

I know where some of this year's tax return is going!

Hmmm...I like the twin power fists...going on my must have list...

well i guess i dont need to figure out how to get romans holding helbards for my custodes anymore

I am really surprised how unnatural are the poses of these new romans. Really doesn't look like scibor style of posing.

Compared to the sergeant holding his helmet and the standart bearer those four are quite ugly.

But still gonna get body set to make custodes army more differentiated

They look like pretty standard Scibor poses to me. He's somewhat limited by his habit of blocking in between their legs. That, combined with the hugely deformed and over-sized armour tends to make them all look a little awkward.

He has some lovely detail on a lot of his pieces, but posing has never really been a strong suit.

Nice parts, but damn they are expensive. It's a head-scratcher when Forgeworld's stuff is so much cheaper than a third-party alternative.

Dunno, maybe I'll pick up the sword/powerfist and double-powerfist packs down the line from a Maelstrom sale or something.

Have to agree with this, if anything his posing is getting worse, not better.

I can see a lot of use for those legs in my army.

Would be great if the arms were available separately...I dont need the whole mini, but I could put the arms to use.

Really? It strikes me as very non-impressive.

I think its the simplicity (so to speak) that I like. In typical fashion GWs Calgar is way to busy (excessive seals, etc) and this one isnt over crowed with that kind of thing. It might be just me, but I dont like tons of extra junk on my models...like purity seals, skulls, etc. I can forgive a little bit, but GW seems to have gone way overboard with that kind of thing.

A really nice small release of "Dark Angels" terrain:

Angels Temple Ruins (5 pieces 22.30$)
http://www.sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=1271






Also new some Spartan bases

Spartan Ruins (25mm, 3 for 6.10$):
http://www.sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=1266


Spartan Ruins (60mm, 1 for 9.10$):
http://www.sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=1267


Also another 25mm and two 40mm sets.
Guess I haven't posted painted pics of these as well:

Templar SF Knight #5 (25.40$):
http://www.sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=1264


SF Knight (25.40$):
http://www.sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=1261

The guy that paints the minis for scibor is like the best painter I have ever seen way better than GW famed heavy metal team.

I really wish these had options for helmeted heads....I like a lot of these but dont like painting faces.

Ooh, I quite like those dark angels ruins.

Agreed. Very nice stuff.

Some very nice things in here!

Two new releases:

Egyptian SF Warrior #2 (25.40$):
http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=1273


Celtic SF Bear Rider #2 (45.70$):
http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=1272

Why is it that I'm ok with a Marine on a bear, but not on a wolf?

On the bright side at least he has a weapon that makes a little more sense to use on a mount.

Those Roman guys are really fantastic imho.
But €88 for 10 of them? Ouch that is dam steep.

Man I want that Battlebear.

Its almost as if they were trying to make Sanguinius....
