Preview of the first new full figure of the new year for Chapterhouse Studios. Once the figure is finished painting he will be added to the web site. He comes with arm options of a pistol, 2 swords, a spear and a shield. The buckle is unadorned, but there are many horse images sculpted on his shield and armor. I'm hoping to have h up for preorders late next week.

Nick - Chapterhouse Studios

I believe that's what you were trying to link to.

You are correct, still getting use to the limitations of the IPhone

For me the details are too soft and lack in definition. I'm not sure who did the sculpting on this but you should not use them again as your digital stuff is a lot crisper.

I like it. I was hoping it would be a new line of guard though :( Surely I'm not the only one who thinks that a line of Attilan infantry would be awesome?

Let's try this again.

You don't have to like everything posted on Dakka. You can even choose to provide constructive criticism, if you would like to do so. But next post that I find to be non-constructive in this thread is going to result in something...unpleasant...happening to the poster's ability to post.

Is it a 40 mm base he is on or? Would be nice with a scale shot with something other than the P3 bottles. Also, what's the deal with his arms? Will those on the table be included or are they from another company - but they will still fit?

Would really like to see a similar version which could be easily mounted on a bike. A well built and ornate model like this for white scars lists would certainly help fill a gap that the GW has left by not producing an official Kor'sarro on a bike.

The details look solidm enough, though the paint could be holding it back a bit.

I like him.

He looks like a great looking new inquisitor to me. Has the feel of the old school one in the term armor from back in the day.

I'll be getting me one for my collection.

That topknot looks really terrible and blobby. It looks like an afterthought.

The trim on the armor has no edge to it just a round blob.

The face may look better without paint but the scar looks way overdone right now.

The horsehead on his back looks like Gumby's pal instead of a serious representation of a horsehead (like is on the shield).
This could be due to the paint however.

The painted on horse emblem on the buckle looks like a sock-puppet. Freehand can make or break a model. I would sculpt something there, leave it off, or at the very least re-do the freehand.

The cape looks very uneven on the edge. The curve doesn't look natural at all.

If this were a conversion put forth by someone who did it for themselves I'd say it was a pretty good effort. Since it's a product put forth by a company that supposedly produces professional miniatures and bits, I'm expecting a lot more.

Chapterhouse has some really cool stuff and some not-so-cool stuff. This definitely falls into the latter without some re-work.

The top knot has more of a 'retro' mini than 'afterthought' feel, I'd say. The softness of the sculpting of the decorative bands on the armour is an issue though. Really, that's the kind of thing that should be fixed before something is approved as a final product. It's not even that hard to do, so given some of the other details I'd say it's not a matter of lack of skill or anything - just a bit of a rush job.
Shame, 'cause it really has a lot of character to it - it's just ruined by some really relatively minor issues.

.... Nevermind, I just noticed the pads on the figure....

I think that with a decent paintjob this model has a lot more potential than what that picture portrays. Granted the sculpting isn't up there with the best but I would still be interested in seeing an un painted version (preferably with some arms attached ) just to see what the model actually looks like.

Also on a completely unrelated note I do wish Mods would stop typing in red text. I highly doubt I am not the only colour blind person on this forum who has to highlight what you write and paste it into MS Word just to see what you wrote...

Why isn't this model at the online shop?

I agree about the top knot, and the blank belt buckle probably should've been left blank by the painter. Not too impressed... although I think seeing it unpainted may help.

Nice model. Lots going on with it and it still doesn't feel cluttered.

So does this mean GW will now disavow the White Scars as an army?

You might have missed it in the first post:

Once the figure is finished painting he will be added to the web site.

I think it looks good enough. Of course, I also decided to resize the picture on my screen to be closer to actual size to help me judge it better (as I doubt the model is really 7" tall).

Wow.. didn't realize that this was here!

I'm the one painting the thing. There's a lot to it that you aren't seeing yet and the paint is still in progress. The bone-chilling blizzard made it hard to get this done this week. Looks like I'm going to have to move out of the shop if I want to keep my productivity up.

It's a neat model and barring a few stylistic choices (I'm not a fan of the topknot, it looks fine though) its great. There is a slight bulge to the cape but I doubt it will stand out at 28mm. The sword and halberd also look awesome. If the head were to be swapped out and a few other conversions made, this would also make a neat base for a Wolf Lord.

Sorry chapter house , but this honestly looks amaturish. The detail is not crisp or sharp in anyway shape or form. I have a few of your models but this one I won't be buying.

I am liking it depending on the price i will go for it

Some elements on this mini look rushed. Alot of the bases elements do look good, but alot of the adornment for the mini looks like they were rushing to sculpt it on.

Apart from the topknot, I like it. The topknot is completely out of scale with the head it is attached to though.

I really like this both as a model and giving a certain chapter some love. However, I do think it needs a bit more touching up. One area for improvement I think is the detail is a bit too soft. Once you get the detail looking a lot more "crisp" I think you have a real winner on your hands.

Also may I suggest the ability to mount him on a bike. Perhaps an upgrade kit

As for the figure, the WIP shot does it no favours, though that's often a feature of WIP shots as I know from my own photos. While the figure isn't doing much for me right now, I'd like to see a bare metal (resin?) shot of the figure as well as the fully-completed painted version to properly judge.

Cool stuff!

Thanks for posting, with you posting this I was able to see the Chapterhouse site for the first time, and I really love the kit for the Storm Raven! Going to order a couple. Maybe some other bits too. Thank you!

The model you show on the thread would make a great WS Marine!

I have cleaned out the OT chatter. Let's keep the discussion on the figure, folks. To be clear, having a negative opinion on the figure is fine. Contentless bashing of the company behind it is not.

If you have an issue with the moderation of the site, this is not the place to have that discussion.

I can heartily recommend the Stomrraven kits. A bit fiddly to fit properly, but nothing worse than dealing with the usual sort of issues inherent with many resin kits, but well worth the effort...

Is he a multi-peice kit like the torso seperate from the legs?

The Top-knot and shoulder pads kill it for me.

There's something off about the shin-pads too.

That said, the shield is great. I'll take 50 please. (Shields. Not the rest. Please make the shields available by bit!)

Had this been submitted by a user in the painting and modelling section, I'd be very impressed.

But this sculpt coming from a professional who wants to charge money for it, this is wholly lackluster. Amateurish is the only thing I think when I see this sculpt. There's potential, for sure, but this is just a piss poor effort.

With that said, the weapon hands look pretty good.

There are a number of mongolian shields that are being cast up in a set as well.

The right leg on this model is a component. The torso is attached to the left leg. The Braid is also a component as is the horse totem on the back. The base and arms are also components.

By component, you mean not necessary?

And if not attached, will they leave a big hole or gap where it's obvious something should have been?

Nick usually I love your stuff (have purchased Mucho Grande amounts and been very happy) but this is not on my favorites list. I agree with a lot of comments on the sculpting work seeming "thinck and heavy" and not up to your usual par of sculpts. I also agree that the top knot and horse on the backpack look odd and an afterthought. The paint is pretty low par too with all the washes and lack of blending on the cape but I guess we will see what it looks like when complete.

 Thunderfrog wrote:

think he means components = separate parts, basically saying this model comes in parts, not one solid chunk of resin, so if you decide to not attach a leg then yes it will be obvious

Since this is titled "2014 releases" I guess it's on-topic to talk about another of yours I'm looking forward to... the space bug walls!

From the website:

Happy New Year! As you may notice, we have some products that are no longer listed, this is until the appeal process for the lawsuit that Games Workshop has brought against our small business is concluded. This year many changes are being made as well as many new products will be launched. Chief among those are Alien Race Specific Defense Lines, new alternative front torso components compatible with the Games Workshop Terminator Armor and even some Mongolian Space Knight shields, heads and a commander.

The Defense Line kickstarter was funded and we are now in the process of shipping and producing the kits for the folks who funded the kits. As they are shipped out and massed produced they will be added to the site for general sale. The first 2 will be the Space Undead and the Tech Confederation defense lines. Necron and Tau collectors will enjoy assembling and painting these two kits.

And a pic of the first casts of the one I'm interested in from the KS page, update from Christmas day!



You can see others at the KS page:

Of course, if GW removes the ability for nids to take fortifications, that'd be a bummer for the product... although it could still look great for displays. Rumors were that GW removed the spore pod, though, which affected Chapterhouse and some other 3rd party model makers... will find out for sure on the weekend when the book releases.

I've heard from my TO who heard from a guy (That's the basic formula for bs, I know) that GW is using it's Army Books and Codex's to strike back at guys like CH and anyone else who makes bit parts.

"Oh? You made a really good spore kit or Boneswords kit? We will just remove that option. Thanks for playing!"

Going by that information, it looks like Razorbacks will no longer have turrets, dreadnoughts no longer to have weapon arms, and Space marine infantry no longer to have shoulder pads, jump packs, backpacks, weapons, heads, torsos or legs....

And they'll still sell better than all of Fantasy combined.

- release codex with option not supported by models
- third party producers start selling stand-ins for those options
- wait 5 years, and then release new codex with those options removed, thus guaranteeing that those third party producers are the only ones who will ever have made any money from those options.
- profit!

Sounds legit.


On-topic - that 'nid wall does look pretty cool. I'm sur there would be uses for it as terrain even if they do lose the ability to take fortifications.

I was thinking that. I've got a few of the old FW spore towers, but some more Tyranid-y terrain would be great.

I personally play Tyranids, I have been playing them since 1994. I hear this codex is not all that great though. Are we really surprised if Games Workshop hurts the hobbyist and collectors by removing models that 3rd party companies have worked on?

Still, I think if a model is cool enough people will use it regardless of rules, our spore pod will look good on the table with along side the Space Bug Fortifications as a spore chimney or a living weapons emplacement.

Please do some more Tyranid-y terrain! It'll look amazing.

Yeah I'll be getting the bug walls for sure. Once you put them up for sale . Can't believe I didn't kickstart them, I think just didn't have the funds lined up then.

Do you have an idea when they'll go up on the website / preorder / order?

Bug walls = good

Mongolian dude = not so good

Mongolian dudes paint job = makes model look bad! Possibly worse than unpainted.

Would like to see unpainted model, but it doesn't look good for the quality of this model.

And Tyranid-like other things. That's what attracted me to CH in the first place. I enjoyed the daring attempt to go beyond just Marine-mans.

Here are some more photos:

I think I finally see what bugs me about the shin pads... they look like they are sculpted out of Fondit. (Sculpt-able cake icing.)

 Thunderfrog wrote:

I like the sculpt, I have held it in my hand and can appreciate it. The plus side with using resin is that if you dont like a specific portion of a model (like the smoothed edge shins) you can modify it easily.

Also, many of the details like the horse head, braid and banners are seperate bits, so use what you like. Kit bashing, remember!

I will see about getting more bug stuff done. Any ideas for terrain?

 Chapterhouse wrote:

Counterparts for most "normal" terrain would be welcome - multi-leveled buildings, forests, tiered hills...bridges? Or there is always the "infested terrain" route - e.g., normal ruins with space bug nests inside, or spires growing out of them.

I like some of your stuff but this guy seems like a swing and a miss. The concept is good but the execution is a little loose and sloppy, frankly. The halberd is very nice and you should consider selling that and some variations as a weapons pack.

Any plans for an Ork-compatible defensive wall? That would be pretty popular and I believe they have a book coming soon. You already have Tyranids covered looks like.

The tricky thing with terrain is cost...

Lots of resin, heavy items to ship, I can see why most companies stay away from the larger pieces. Defense lines are really on the edge of that line of cost vs profit.

As for the Space Orc terrain.... I have it being cast now.

I'm sure holding the model up close adds a lot more perspective. Even the best pictures seem to obscure some details.

Couple of more items that we have painted up and will post for sale as soon as we have stock.

Some Heresy-Era Front Torso and Head bits, you can use these to replace the front and heads of the Games Workshop Terminator Model kits - we are planning on these being sold in sets of 2 with one of each set.

Any idea when the Space Bug Walls will be up for sale (likely)?

Like the terminator kits, any chance of a world eaters one any time soon

Surely it'd be logical to sell them in sets of 5 of the same?

with ^^.

Both look pretty damn nice, but I can't imagine wanting them both together, really.

I agree, sets of 5 for each design make more sense that a set of 2 (1 of each design). I would be likely to buy it stes of 5 per, but as planned am unlikely to buy any.

I like these a lot - and will add my voice to the choir asking for a more logical set!

I really like those terminator kits. Agree with the above. Would make more sense to have squads in uniform armor varients.

Consider it done...

As an aside, if done in metal they would be much faster to produce as well as a bit cheaper at the end cost. What do you all think of that idea?

The fit of the torso is pretty tight and good on the back torso.

Those look great Nick!

Awesome news, can't wait. Metal sounds fine to me!

Those Terminator chests and heads are really sweet! To bad I already have all my terminators assembled and painted or I'd be tempted.

Centurion.

Wow, those terminators are great- really appreciate how minimal the conversions are, considering how effectively it changes the look.

Sign me up for a Tyranid ADL. Just let me know when you want my money.

Love the Terminator torsoes - will definitely be in for a set of them, particularly if they're in metal.

Keep up the good work, Nick.

Is there a general time/effort savings when using metal compared with resin?

Those Termi kits look spiffy!

The number 2 is looking really cool

I like those termi conversion kits, particularly #2, as others have mentioned.

I also think I identified what I don't like as much about #1. The torso piece looks wider than in #2, and the completed model looks broader and larger, which in turn makes the legs appear spindly. Now that could be the picture perspective or a trick of the color, but the raw pieces look bigger than #2.

I'll probably pick up some #2 torsos, as my deathwing didn't get started, so my termie are unassembled.

You might want to stick with resin for the Terminator chest parts.

Odds are the original parts were sculpted on the GW plastic model.

When the original green is mastered, the part shrinks with each successive mold so the production part you get is smaller than the original sculpt and metal shrinks a lot more than resin.

If the part is cast in metal you'll likely have significant gaps, or the part might be a tad too small and won't fit properly.

Just for reference, the size difference between the metal master and the production casting of one of the old GW metal SM Scouts was just over 1mm. You could see the height difference when standing them next to each other.

Metal would be more of a pain as the top part of a plastic mini as well. I've specifically waited for Victoria Lamb to release certain parts in resin instead of metal to avoid having top heavy conversions.

They both look good! The 'loin cloth' on #2 is a little sloppy, or it's been sloppily cropped for the photo, but they are both nice alternative torsos.

Yeah, I wouldn't be interested in metal torsos to go on plastic legs. That's always a recipe for much gnashing of teeth when minis refuse to stand up on sloped terrain.

I'd wait for resin too.

Those terminator chests are pretty badass. I like #1 a little better but they're both quite good.

Those termie parts are pretty danged spiffy!

I prefer the first option - looks older, somehow.

The Auld Grump

Really digging the Terminator torsos! I rather like #1. The wider look is nice and distinct.

The first Termi torso looks great, very menacing and up-armoured.

I like both of the terminator chestplates. Not really keen on head #1 but that's easily swapped out.

Those Termie parts are sessy. I am looking forward to these coming out.

I'd prefer resin , so they stand up for more than five minutes.

And I'd like them right now......

I'd vote resin, as well.

I can't seem to get my "when will the bug wall likely be released" question answered, though!

Excellent torsos there Nick! Metal or resin works fine for me. I figure that termies have such large bases that one metal bit won't really make the model unstable at all.

Looking forward to more terminator conversion sets! I like #2. Over #1. Would make great Morlochs.

I'm OK with waiting for resin versions as well.

Any hope of a terminator plasma type weapon arm? I really hated the one in the dark angel release and was hoping it would look more like the mk v dreadnought one from FW.

I don't think the model will fall over due to the metal, but I think resin would be a better way to go for "fit" purposes.

Since metal shrinks considerably more than resin you may have fit problems with the part, since the front plate would be a smaller size than the plastic body.

You could get significant gaps or a "step" where the two plates meet since the front plate would be smaller then the plastic body part it connects to.

That is a fantastic idea! And is what I'm actually doing currently. Existing ruins terrain (which there is tons of) can actually work quite well for Tyranids, imo, with the right conversion pieces. Things like this "Anklebiter Barnacle" for Deep Wars would be fantastic. Tentacles, spawning vats, anything like that

http://antimatter-games.com/products-page/terrain/deepwars-3/ankelbiter-barnacles/

I'd agree with resin.

On the sets, I think the 5-packs is a great idea. What about additionally giving the option of which of the two types of heads you want with your torsos with a pull-down?

They pop up on ebay every so often, under a seller called hobbyworld.ua They are quite nice, but just because someone has already done Egyptian terminators doesn't mean that more companies should. More choice means more variety. Just need to persuade companies that they should be doing Egyptian themed marines/terminators rather than more ork heads

Consider me sold in the even that you release some Egyptian variants as well! One can never have too many terminators.

Egyptian themed terminator legs would be nice also

If I recall correctly they are incredibly expensive.

Recently, December 22nd, Chapterhouse Studios LLC stopped working with an employee by the name of Tomas Fiertek who lives in Sweden. He is also a sculptor and frequent poster to many discussion boards and goes by the name of Pyriel or -Pyriel.

I was not aware of the fact that he was using the company name to hire out a sculpting job to one of our regular sculptors. Unfortunately he mislead this sculptor into sending him a finished miniature on January 2nd, and Tomas was released from the company on December 22nd. Unfortunately, the sculptor has not been able to contact Mr. Fiertek through emails since then and he considers the time and miniature lost or stolen. I am currently speaking with the sculptor and working with him towards a solution.

The sculptor has not seen payment from Mr. Fiertek or emails since he asked what address to send the sculpts to.

Please be cautious if you have any contact with Mr. Tomas Fiertek, he is no longer associated with Chapterhouse Studios LLC or any other company that I am aware of. Seeing that the sculptor was not paid for works delivered, I have my doubts on whether Mr. Fiertek has the funds to pay for future works. If there is any further information I will update this post.

so if you see anybody trying to sell the above stuff get in touch with me please.

Below are the photos the sculptor shared with me.

Yes that poster, real name Mr. Tomas Fiertek. He is not associated with Chapterhouse Studios anymore and I was unaware of him saying he owned the company he was part of...

I would suggest being cautious in dealing with him as he's stolen these minis from an independent sculptor, not the company.

He made this claim 3 days before Nick says they parted ways too..

This Pyriel-? His user profile claims he owns Chapterhouse Studios.

Yes that poster, real name Mr. Tomas Fiertek. He is not associated with Chapterhouse Studios anymore and I was unaware of him saying he owned the company he was part of...

I would suggest being cautious in dealing with him as he's stolen these minis from an independent sculptor, not the company.

Click on the link I gave and it shows his DakkaDakka "Bio"

Occupation: Owner of Chapterhouse Studios.

Apologies for the continued off-topic. Just making sure you're aware.


On Topic: I've used both your Tactical Shoulder Pads and Devastator shoulder pads, and was very happy with both.

I don't know if we should be bringing up Pyriel in here, and as to whether or not he's 'stolen' something from someone?

Probably best to stick with talking about "Chapterhouse Studios 2014 releases" and leave all the rest of that stuff to some other thread, if in fact it is appropriate for another thread.

Alpaharius, I posted this in the new releases and news thread as I want the word out that this individual is no longer a member or representing the company. He did not "steal" from the company, but rather used our name and then took ownership of a work from a sculptor and did not pay. That all I wanted to say on this.

Hmmm. I have been eyeing off those chimera conversion kits for a while. This may be the straw the broke the camels back.

Well played Nick. Well played.

Order made.

They've been done before, but I don't know who made these or where to get them.

They were done by a lady called Irina in Russia, who used to put ten batches of each up for sale on Ebay once a month. They would then usually be swiftly bought up and resold for double the price by other ebay vendors. Sadly, she hasn't put any up in quite some considerable time, leading to them becoming quite the rarity.

Fortunately, I have two of her kits.

A very fitting offer, it was -28 Celsius this morning...Very tempting deal though. I have wanted to pick up the Drop Pod doors and Rhino armour for a while now.

Any chance we will see the termie torsos released before the offer expires?

Maybe, If they arrive in time that would be perfect.

What about the bug walls? If not that soon, could you hazard a guess at their release date? Just any kind of ballpark number would be great.

Thanks

What is it about Chapterhouse threads that reliably have them getting weird as gak?

Anything to do with Chapterhouse Studios has a massive invisible sign that says "PROBLEMS HERE PLEASE!"

Any chance of the terminators before the sale ends or should I give up and place my order now?

VERY interested in the first terminator torso, not so interested in the second.
If you will be selling these in 5s, what price are we looking at?
