Liking the model but GW must stop doing the floaty pose

My how little Bloodtaster has grown....

The irony in what you said is that if the scale is correct on the WD cover (and it should be) he bloodthirster has... Literally... GROWN. Hahaha

New model looks to be huge, which is great!!!

Quite possibly the best thing about HIPS is the mass availability of large models (and ease of assembly).

Is it me, or is this pic new to the thread?

And we still can't see anyone's feet to know what bases they're on.

It's like looking at Rob Liefeld art...

Look at the Bloodletters. They're on squares.

I know Ive seen that style of chain whip in some anime, but I cant remember the details.
I think it was pretty devastating in effect too.

I love this model, but I had kind of got used to the smallest MC in my collection being the angriest, and made it part of my personal bloodthirster lore

El Descanso del Escriba has more pics http://descansodelescriba.blogspot.de/

Ahh the T6 curse continues lol.

What does a Bloodthirster cost in the current WFB DoC book?

Edit: in Meltabombs

Wrathaxe and Bloodflail, oh lordy.

Bloodthirster of Unfettered Fury is identical to the current bloodthirster.

Thanks, Xera

The price list via Spikeybits

Surprised that:

1. Listed as "Warhammer" and not "Chaos Daemons".
2. Not listed as "The End Times".

Well he's hardly limited to End Times is he?

Lots of pictures - via Waaaghschale on the gw-fanworld.de forum

The blog logo there is quite annoying...

Also, on the base thing; I can't see bloodletter bases, but the crusher bases are definitely square.

I'd definitely snip the flames off and put some sorta big rock or partially demolished building for his base. And the flamey chaos star on the end of the whip.. WE KNOW IT'S A CHAOS DAEMON GW! LOL

I'll probably put a fallen dreadnought

Really like this kit

Now, I'm impatient for the KOS

The Bloodletters are clearly on square bases if you check the top pic in warhamms previous post

Ya know I was going to make this reference too but figured it'd be wasted

Could this mean we'll get 40k specific packaging down the road?

Cracking model, really love it.
€91 though is.....hefty going.

Just had notice that the image I shared has taken me near my bandwidth on Photobucket.

If someone would be kind enough to take over hosting duties before it disappears, that would be most kind.

The head on the "Unfettered Fury" version is by far the best, and is a huge relief to see (won't have to convert my own non-stupid-looking, non-donkey head!)

Not in love with all the parts, but I like enough of it. And if I can sell/trade the extra parts and the stuff I don't like, that will offset the cost enough to make it worth my while, I think ($116 would be steep even for an AMAZING model. And this one doesn't rise to that level, it's just pretty damn nice.

Also: flail-hammer is silly, and the flames on the base/feet are kinda dumb or at least just weird too. Easy enough to work around though.

Found it on www.waaaghgaming.de

Excellent, thanks!

Amazing modle, but the cad price is some painful to swallow.

and in before the slaanesh jokes.

Im not impressed tbh, forgeworld one is 10 times better. I thought that they have 2 ways to go with it, more cartoonish satyr esque close to the classic one just technicaly better or a serious, menacing beast and what they offered looks to me like something in the middle and therefore half arsed from both perspectives. Also legs look like a bad case of synthol.

First impression ofc and I need to see different paint jobs to judge it.The variant with two handed axe looks most promising, I want my plastic bloodthirter as a crazy goat because true demon menace direction is covered by forgeworld or that krull guy.

*sigh* is GW so scared of all of us not buying their stuff if we look inside a book it HAS to shrink wrap everything now?

This may just be because it was a subscription copy sent through the post?

I don't know about your shops, but in the US?

The copies of White Dwarf that my local GW store puts out on the shelf are in the same shrink wrap. I thought it was unnecessary too...until I saw someone taking pictures with their camera phone of rules and then just putting the copy back on the shelf.

One thing I will say is that the manager keeps his copy with him and lets people flip through it at the till to see if they would want to buy a copy or not.

Yeah, people used to walk into the GW shop, read it, and then put it back on the shelf...or do like that.

So, if you want one and want to read it, spend $4.28.

It seems too "CG" like and not enough life like. The sculpting seems too clean, more so on the legs and wings. Also, does GW really need to continue the trend of mounting large models on dinky base connection points totally no conducive to transporting or using said models?

Maybe it's just not my thing, but I don't like the model and should Creature Caster ever produce (still waiting for my dragon...) then that's more the angry rage daemon I'd want.

I know exactly what you mean about the 'look' it has but I hate seeing that called the CG look. Creature Caster is sculpted with CAD, so is infinity stuff. Computer modeling is a legitimate sculpting process.
Lets call this what it is, bad sculpting.
