The website has been up for about a year I believe and the ebay store for longer than that so if GW want to take legal action, they don't seem to be in any hurry.

Not sure where they're based, but if it's Eastern Europe/Russia, like a lot of 3rd party companie,s then it simply won't be worth the jurisditcional red tape/hoop jumping and lengthy, costly trial.
Plus GW haven't exaclty been litigiously minded since the whole CH debacle

Also known as 'why your IP monkey needs to know how IP works'....
Yep, so not in the EU, which makes any legal action (and above all enforcement) from GW more costly and complicated than against any og the Polish companies.
Still, it's not impossible at all so I suspect the lack of legal action is because GW doubt they have a case or they don't believe it's worth to take action when considering the cost of resources and public goodwill.
I also have no idea what I would do with those chaos ladies, but I am thinking that I should dedicate some time to figuring it out, because they are really impressive. I wonder how hard it would be to make the limbs look mechanical...
As with a whole lot of the more recent small-run model companies, they sculpt either digitally from scratch or from a scanned master with refinement, then send the files off to a specialist 3D print shop to be done at max resolution on high end industrial gear, and use the prints as masters to produce silicone moulds which can be used to cast a large number of pourable materials.
If they really wanted to they could go from those to spin-cast metal with only a couple of intermediary steps but resin has lesser startup costs even if you lose out in the long run.

It looks like she has a valid gear pick.
WS exarchs can take the following: Keep the basic gun as the rest of the squad. Take two of the basic gun, for a TL’d version (which looks like what is modeled here, just not as a rifle, but part of the extra arms) Take a fancier rifle
And then add some CC choppy blades as a separate option (which she is packing in spades)
In fact, she has the same gear as the stock GW option
Eh, their helmets and guns aren't really that much more massive than the GW ones my biggest issue is that I would've wanted the lower legs a bit more bulked out. That and there's the fact that they're calling the Exarch a Patriarch, despite being female. I do really like that Exarch though. I may need to get her, even though I have no Warp Spiders.
I really hope they keep that kind of style for any future human/inquisitor figures, it's good to see her a. clothed and b. with a sensible bust size. She still looks fairly well endowed, but at least it's not like someone's stuck a couple of footballs (soccer balls for the Yanks among us) up her top.
Warp Spiders look very cool. Just a shrinking of the end of the guns would massively improve them I feel.
I actually don't mind it, not a strength of the model, but it doesn't deract either. Have more of an issue with the fleur de lis (fleurs des lis for plural? GCSE French was a while ago ar this point...) and gorilla hands.

How are they absurd? They look way better than the GW ones.
They really don't. Ignoring the fact that the classic Jes Goodwin Spiders are 20+ years old, they are still better sculpts than these (Exarch aside, that one is very good). Both the guns and the bodies on these new ones look very top-heavy and there really is no sense of balance in the design. They look silly instead of sleek and imposing. The original ones are extremely limited in posing due to technical limitations, but the core design and sculpting is expertly done and still holds up. Just look at this well-painted example I found on Google:
Despite the (realistically speaking) absurdly large gun, the pose and proportions of the legs, torso, head and warp generator all contribute to give it a great sense of balance and movement despite its limitations. Now compare it to the new ones, with their overly large heads and shoulder pads, tiny feet sticking out from the bottom. The guns are opened up like flower petals making the barrels look too big, and even though they are actually only slightly bigger than he old ones, together with the heads and shoulder pads they give the whole sculpt a sense of imbalance, both literally (in that it looks like they might fall over at any moment) and in that the proportions look all wrong.
Yeah, I can see the point about the weapons being too big (although they do have a supporting "arm" coming from the backpack to assist with it, so they've taken that into consideration)
I like them, very dynamic poses, lots of detail (the backpacks look lovely) and the exarch is great. personally, I would have just made a conversion pack with heads, backpacks and (smaller) weapons and let people convert guardians into Spiders though

Still need that Exarch though
No, they really do look awful. Even with a good paintjob the warp spider guns were always absurd looking.
Mental Surge wrote: No, they really do look awful. Even with a good paintjob the warp spider guns were always absurd looking.
I still really like them. Ghost Miniatures' versions come with a nice scaled down version of the deathspinner if that's what people prefer.
I'm definitely not a fan of these spiders. Everything is too chunky and exaggerated (although ironically their chests aren't). They look a bit like I'd expect the 3rd ed warp spiders to have looked like if they'd made them. Exarch is amazing though and could almost be a phoenix lord. Would have to swap the head though as I don't like the idea of taking a random jaunt through the warp without a fully enclosed suit.

She also need to put a hemet on so her hair doesn’t get caught on those extra arms. You can see it happening.
I just received mine yesterday. They look really nice in person. I haven't assembled them yet, but the guns and helmets don't look that out of size on the actual figures.
No flash and almost no mold lines, casting is really well done.
They came in a box labeled GrimSkull, so I don't know if they are designs from another company that are just sold by Wargames Exclusive or if that is another line of their own stuff.
The fluff they put on Facebook says it's a demon enslaved by the inquisition. The hourglass on her back tells how much more time she had in their service.
I'm liking the winged version of the big baddie. Looks cool. Wouldn't mind making another order with them, but I haven't even painted the stuff I got last time....
Howling banshees and Daemonettes are obvious I think. Anything to replace the terrible current daemonettes and finecast banshees would be great. Actually we need new aspect warriors all together. The current finecast ones are terrible and GW doesn't care.
Not a Tau player, but what rules would those even use? I thought wargame exclusive was pretty straight-up making proxies and not their own, "unique" game with different rules?

A lot of their stuff like the cars and the limo have no real 40k counterpart. You can squint at them and make them count as rhinos or whatever but they're not just proxies.
Am I strange for noticing the cog lapels before I noticed she was bare breasted?
Maybe
Although I noticed the DocOc arms first, and bare chest maybe 3rd. One could always paint the chest as a chest plate, similar to classical Roman muscled armor.
I have quite a few of their figures. Anatomy can be a little odd on the older figures, especially dynamic poses, but the casting quality is really good.
Been watching these models for a while.. How good are they in the flesh? lots of detail? Any defects? I was thinking about getting that limo for my genestealer cult

I've ordered a few Tau. Not much cleanup needed- very clean casts. Minimal flash or other funny business with bubbles and whatnot.
Definitely plenty of detail, and they scale just a tad bit larger than the regular figures, so they make for good heroes or HQ.

I can second this. Minimal clean up and good casts. I've ordered two "totally not Tau" HQs, one "totally not Necron" Overlord and a pair of heads that "totally weren't designed for" my Kastelan Robots.

I wish I had enough disposable income to order all of their cars. Why? To do an imperial city that actually looks like an imperial city instead of a massive military base. Gothic cars everywhere.. maybe a gothic train and all of that CoD terrain I have sitting on sprues. On top of the CoD mat I bought back when it was available.
arg.. now math is being done in my head.. very expensive math..

I can also say that the vehicle models are awesomely well made. A few bubbles, a minor mold line - total cleanup maybe ten minutes.
I use diecast cars for a lot of more modern/post-apoc games and I really prefer it to the weird small buildings a lot of MDF companies make that don't really look like anything except a paintball style barrier disguised as a building.
They're the right height for infantry and actually add to the narrative feel of a table instead of just being "blah" another piece of generic LOS blocker..
Yes, I think a heavy stubber would look good up there.
Perhaps the least practical of the civilian cars, a lot of engine in the back, not much going on but still intriguing. If they hadn't already crafted a vehicle with a curved crew compartment I would think this was inspired by the GW cult vehicle as shown in the teaser art.
I wonder if Kestral is getting tired of painting cars for me.
I bought a fair few of their models ( 7 tech adepts, 3 inquisitors, 2 cars and the cult limousine). Only had one tiny defect on one of the inquisitors easily filled.
The resin is really nice, not greasy at all, hardly any mound lines and flash is really easy to remove. Having scenic bases included is nice too. The cars and limo are slightly smaller than you might think but really well cast for such big blobs of resin with no warping. Lovely!
I like that new car and I'd paint it. It seems less impractical to me, due to the ability to see out of the windows.... : ) I find some weird texturing 3D printing lines in the car resin, but otherwise quite good. There's really nothing you can do about it, but it doesn't seem to cause any problems at my level of painting - you can't really see it under a good coat of paint.
I *like* the size of the cars personally. Here's a scale shot, though the mechanic is warmachine and thus perhaps a smidge larger than 40K standard.
Automatically Appended Next Post: I should say that is the Limo with no extensions.
Don't like the asymmetrical leg armor- one hoof, one armored foot, but eh. Otherwise pretty cool model.
Really like my Greater Good from them. Definitely need more!
About the leg: When looking at some of the other views, it seems more like this guy is an amputee, similar to ol' Big Shas, only Big Ghost has a prosthetic replacement.
Barzam wrote: I assumed he was wearing the remains of a stealth suit.
That's what I thought too.. seems like most of the aesthetics are there but maybe it was damaged or he's just really really slow at getting into/out of his armor..
Once again cool, steam punk and diesel punk and gothic as all get out, but the fact it's a 2 door turns me off. I can't imagine anyone important enough to have a car not also having a driver and bodyguard. And I can't see Inquisitors climbing over the folded front seat to get out.
Maybe there's 2 rows of seating and the doors are real big?

I think it's like how you get a Rolls Royce so you can ride and be driven and you get a Bentley for when you want to drive yourself. I'm sure some Inquisitors and VIPs want to be behind the wheel sometimes instead of relying on a chauffeur. That would explain the cowcatcher on the front of the car. It's not like Inquisitors want sirens on their vehicles and you know they won't tolerate slow drivers in the fast lane.
New Greater Good gun drones. Now these things look cool. I'm going to grab a few to represent a high tech next gen drone. They look like little techno-burgers turned sideways lol. They are as cute as they are deadly. https://wargameexclusive.com/shop/greater-good/greater-good-gun-drones-3u/ They remind me of the portal 2 sentries combined with the floating disc thing in XCOM.
There are already Kabuki and other's out there, and the eventual FW model. Seems out of WE's wheelhouse, being grimdark cars and overtly female versions of models.
Maybe they are trying to cash in on 1k Sons while they are hot, and that's cool. Gotta make money where you can. Just doesn't do it for me.
Never bought anything from Wargames Exclusive myself but I've seen someone run the female AdMech Inquisitor (excuse me - the "Heresy Hunter Technical Priestess with Powered Axe and Plasmonic Pistol") and she's pretty amazing. I do like the Inquisition batmobile too.

The 30k Magnus will be totally different, so whatever GW released wouldn't be for that game anyway given the setting differences. This model is pretty great as are the new Kabuki models (Emphasis on NEW).
Kriswall wrote: Some of us feel the recent Magnus model was pretty awful. The WE model looks much more how I'd imagine Magnus to look, even after attaining permanent residence in the warp.
I'm largely in agreement - the Citadel Magnus' face looks like he's contemplating his haemarroids and his weird fang-hands are nasty. The WE sculpt is far more dignified, although the lack of his iconic nipple-horns is somewhat disappointing.
That Magnus looks pretty damn awesome, I know some people who have been waiting on FW will probably just grab this guy. Same with Dorn, Alpharius, I mean we haven't heard anything so I guess secrecy has its price?
Exclusive is like a less overt, less OTT version of Hi-Tech Miniatures (who I adore!). I fear that their totally-not-Primarch line could end up tipping those scales.

Hmm. I have a LOT of spare gun drones, and these don't look hard to convert from GW gun drones. Line up the pulse carbines vertically, sandwiched between two gun drone hulls.
I like the Magnus model but feel that he has some flaws. He seems a little skinny and the face looks a bit off from the side, I thought the same as Schmapdi in that he had a Native American vibe about him. I think it's the nose... Some of the raised details look a little too raised as well. I see a lot of that on models you see on Shapeways that get a little too carried away.Probably not as noticeable in person though as renders tend to exaggerate features like that.
Still a good looking model however. Depending on the price I will probably pick one up and maybe set at him with a knife to make a different character entirely. I am making an alt-future TSons army after all!
Hopefully they make some more TSons stuff. I have their terminators and marines already and they are excellent sculpts.

I for one welcome the inevitable overtly female versions of the primarchs
I really wish the hover pods had looked a little less like GW drones.. I get it (kind of) but I would've loved to use these for non-Tau purposes. Even for Tau purposes it just seems a little silly that EVERYTHING would be driven by those little drones. It just reminds me of the little dog in How The Grinch Stole Christmas.. when he was pulling that big ass sleigh.. That.. and it just kinda seems like lazy design compared to their other offerings :(
I'm not super upset or ranting or raging or anything. I was just really hoping they would go a different direction here and am a bit let down. I still think these guys are awesome.. just not my cuppa on this one.
EDIT: All of that is towards the idea of this being a civilian craft.. which.. using military drone designs as the propulsion is completely silly.. For a made up military scout type thing or even a tetra or whatever they're called.. it's fine. (end rant.. I mean.. not-rant)
I have about a dozen of the miniatures, the sculpts are certainly getting better and they are well cast.
I ordered a couple cars for a scenario I want to run which are on the way to me- I haven't seen very many pictures of them 'in the wild' so I am eager to see them in person.

- Salvage
Yep they will be pretty cool - bit like the female Special Chars for Blood Bowl Grebo did
I picked up two of their cars on eBay, very good casting overall. The new limo version is more like what I wanted in the first place, so it looks like a second order will be going in shortly...
Hmmm - interesting, but not the equal of the alternative IMHO. Mechanical wing with curtain of biological feathers isn't working for me. I do like the "sending a falcon from the wrist" thing.
Could be a very nice model if they removed most of the wings and gave her some breast reduction surgery. And redesigned the armour, there's a strange hole where the stomach piece should be. I like the pose though.
Gw's pales in comparison to this true living saint. for her I would take up my puny lasgun incapable of hurting anything wearing cardboard or heavier and happily run into the jaws of chaos fueled carnage smiling as i died knowing that for one brief moment I stood next to perfection.
AKA I like her and she will be my first WGE purchase
I love that there are artists out there who look at GW's insane gonzo over-the-top style and think "ya know what, I can sculpt one that goes to 11," and they're right.
Hm, not keen on it. The wings look more like someone stuck a rack of curtains onto her back. And what's that weird looking hole between her right boob and the shoulder pad?
Got some of the not warp spiders and while they are a little pricey I have to say the quality is high. The sculpts are very nice and the resin and casting quality is perfect.
kestral wrote: The nice thing about GW's version was that was a step BACK from the Over the Top craziness.
Yea but she looks worse as a sculpt then the original they made. Technically speaking, better model, artistically, inferior. This model may not have what it takes to appeal to everyone but at least it takes risks and really drives home the setting, it's very Blanchian IMO.

I don't own either one so I may be missing something, but I really like the current one. Although to be honest, I like the seraphim even more.

Tech Priest looks cool and seems to have the right loadout for a Magos Dominus, which there are a limited range of options available for and I want a few of in my AM force.
Does anyone know if she can be separated from her base, or are you stuck with that one? I'd rather have her on one matching the rest of the force.
I haven't built a Wargames Exclusive figure yet that was attached to the base.
This could be an exception, but I doubt it.
Plus most of the bases are designed for that specific figure, so it wouldn't surprise me if there were recesses in the priest's base to attach her easily.
Cool. One of my plans is to make the four Assassins from Execution Force as female Tau, raiding an Astropathic outpost full of Imperials instead of renegades. I think it's possible with this release.
I have four of their cars now by the way, super crisp castings.

Can anyone in the UK comment on what sort of delivery time to expect? I'm very tempted by the new not-Celestine but less so if I'm going to have to wait the better part of a month for it.

I don't normally like his super sexy models, but that one balances the sexy to functional ratio enough I might get. The Tau dude hoping over the wall is giving me Commander Shepard vibes. I really need to get some of his greater good range this year. I like a lot of what he does. Actually come to think of it I don't know much about the company or who even runs it.
Edit
That ain't no Tau-alike. That's a darkstrider. I painted the official GW one myself, but this one looks way cooler. Still going to have to pick him up.
Edit
So this year I need to get Big Shas (what self respecting Tau aficionado doesn't have a big shas), Greater Good Chaser, heavy drones, three drone skimmer, master sh'ogun, o'katan, darkstrider, and some pulse rifles just to mix up all the FW I have so they don't look so samey.
Possibly the dolphin car at a later point for background terrain. I really hope he does fusion blades, onager gauntlets, and possibly his own style of melee weapon for the tau at some point.

I like that they seemed to listen to the feedback and added more sensibly dressed versions of some of their models. That Ad Mech lady is sure to be on my next order from them!
On a slightly related note I am currently painting their Not-Thousand Sons models so I'll post a pic here once they are done
New month but no new car makes me a sad panda. Clearly with the way 8th ed is trending I'm going to have to play gorkamorka rules to get my vehicle game on.
She's certainly a massive improvement over the IMHO lacklustre resculpt done by GW not that long ago. Showing perhaps a bit too much skin, but she's nowhere near as naked as some of their other models thankfully.
Yeah, don't think I'm judging anyone for that. Wasn't my intention.
I just really like the model in general, and a female cypher is ultra cool, but... maybe another time!
(I have actually bought for them some of his male-tau, they are ultra cool and of a high quality... if they made some female non-pinup Tau... that would be perfect for me! My Shadowsun is alone )
You can always ask via social media if they'll do an armoured version of the model. They have obliged with certain requests in the past, leading to some very, very gorgeous models indeed:
as so often these small companies accede to peoples requests only to find the ones who asked for the thing don't actually buy it
Yeah I have already buy some miniatures from them. Perfect product! But I don't have Social Media accounts, so I'm not gonna be able to requestfor a armoured version of Cypheria

I think the bare skin parts would look fine with a bluish grey skinsuit look.
Agreed!
And nice choice to make Cypher a female character. If there ever was a space marine that could be it's him/her Anyway, this has pushed me to my very first purchase of Wargame Exclusive miniatures. Once I get paid at the end of the month, I'll send a small order their way (I also LOVED the recent Mechanicus minis).
Very nice sculpts though I am on the side of preferring those with the more practical armor for use on the tabletop (just jarring to have most troops fully dressed/armored then you have this one that is exposed - seems off.) Now with demons, whyches etc I have no probs...
Wish they (or someone) would do a female "not-farseer" dressed in a practical manner (ie not in a bikini) - seems like that would be a great seller, no idea why GW has never gone there (aside from a test model maybe?)
I doubt it, though maybe others can say since I haven't held a golaith in my hand. All the ones I have seen have been long low and narrow. Don't get me wrong, I hate huge vehicles generally.
Thanks kestral. Yeah they do look small in comparison to the more military / industrial vehicles that are the norm in 40K, though I agree that they end up looking better for it.
I have emailed them asking if they have in their plans make a more practical armoured Cypheria! They have answered that they haven't receivet many request for it, so it wasn't in their plans
I suppose I'll just use the idea of painting the skin like a bodysuit like Zero Samus!
Actually just a more feminine version of the standard magos dominus would be nice. I like my conversion but I'd like to see someone else's take on the concept.
Looking through the Chaos Index I was thinking that 2 of the most dated figures or sets of figures were Abaddon and the Berserker models. While I am sure GW will be along shortly with their own plus probably a C&D.. I am pretty sure I'll be getting this guy.. and hoping that he isn't $30 like the GW will probably be. Now what to do about those dated Berserkers :/
Aaand ordered. Can't imagine a GW resculpt being any nicer than that (in fact it'd probably be overdone with loads of swirly gak) and I'm a CSM guy who doesn't own an Abaddon. Literally nothing about it I don't like.

And this one isn't? He looks like an evil Christmas tree! In my book, the classic Jes Goodwin sculpt is better, even though the proportions leave much to be desired compared to modern sculpts. All they need to do is give him a make-over a la Ahriman and he'll be perfect.

Obviously he and I don't think so lol. Of course opinions will differ, which is a good thing. I'd like a GW update, but I feel like they missed the best opportunity for that 6 months ago.
I need one of those models!
