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.
I COMPLETELY disagree. This sculpt is far more dynamic and interesting.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion, even if it's wrong.
By "swirly gak" I was referring to the Ynnari style levitating stuff, which this sculpt quite clearly has zero of, and it seems somewhat contradictory that you say they just need to give him a makeover when this sculpt is essentially that, yet you seem quite strongly opposed to it?
Each to their own I guess, not everyone can have taste.

Honestly, it's still priced much more fairly then those garbage Primaris clam packs. You know those guys pretending to be multi-part buy coming unassembled yet having absolutely no customize-ability out of the pack?
Fair jab but who can blame them for making things that clearly sell lol. If the scantly clad models allow them to make boutique characters like their Celestine and Abby then bring it on. And who knows, a shirtless jacked Vulcan might sell like madness lol. He clearly has that forged out of steel physique
So my guy turned up today, thought I'd post a quick image as there'd been some questions about scale, so here's the man himself between a Calth Marine and a Contempor. Pretty happy with the scale myself, some may feel he's a little large I guess, but for a guy who was already considered a big un before all the Chaos began to grow him, he seems just dandy.
I do like that Not-Abaddon. I might have to pick him up this week, and finally grab Not-Celestine as well perhaps? Just have to swap out that swirly sword he has for a proper Drach'nyen.
We have noticed amusing regularity: more likes - less time to wait for release! Let's support folks from Grim Skull studio by clicking reaction buttons and commenting, especially if you like high detailed models!
I'm torn on the DG stuff.. This looks like a good not-Typhus but ugh.. the official range is so hit or miss I can't convince myself to build an army of it :/ I wonder how big this guy will be..
I'd have to see it without the base - looks pretty damn busy. It'd be a toss up between this and the new GW one (I think, honestly I prefer the older mini in metal...). Nice design work though.
That makes a nice gender-bended Abaddon. Femarine confirmed!
(From the comments I'm reading it is not supposed to be a gender-bend but it still looks like one.
I have four of their cars, and about ten of their miniatures. Crisp castings, the resin is perfect- not brittle at all. The detail is typically VERY prominent on their stuff. You may come across print lines here and there though- nothing intrusive. I have minis from at least ten third party resin makers and Wargames Exclusive are easily in the top three for quality.
Honestly, I wonder about their casting process and how long their molds last because some have some deep undercuts and the textures on the bases are very rough. They seem to know what they're doing though!
Just to echo all of the above, their resin and their casts that I have received have been excellent (infantry-sized models in my case). I just wish they'd do more "serious" models for admech, rather than the sometimes-silly female versions, so that I could use more of them!
Gotta fight the reverb a little - I've painted several cars and two of them had a weird 3 D printing texture I wasn't fond of in the resin. I haven't worked with a lot of resin though, so I wouldn't put too much weight in my view. They were fine otherwise.
That crozius is massive and I coulda lived without angel dong but if it's Primaris sized I prefer it to GWs by a long way. If it's in scale with older patterns of marines I think there's loads of similar models. If this IS Primaris sized AND is the start of a full line of those characters, I will be extremely happy.
I think these are the same folks that made my Genetic cult limo, which looks amazing. It's just so TEENY! I wish they did a version that scaled up with a chimera, or the rock grinder. My Genestealers like to RIDE IN STYLE!!
Yeah, thats why I always find amusing the "Very busy!" post in all 40k new miniatures that GW puts today. But at the same time I like my Chaplains to be in the "Humble" side of things. To me it fits them better, thats why I like the new primaris one.
Obviously this is just a personal taste in this specific type of Marine. I like my Captains and Masters and SM Heroes to be full of decorative gak (Plus, I don't like the "halo" helmets, not in Stormcast, not in Sanguinary guard, not in the Vanguard veteran boxes)
EDIT: But as I don't want to be rude with this company that is run by very nice people, I'll say that even if I don't personally like very much the aesthetic of this specific model, from a objetive standpoint it looks like a very solid piece. (I have some Tau sculpts from this company that I use as Fireblades and the quality is out of 5 )
That Chaplain is perfect!! I must have that model. When I first got into 40K I made my own Space Marine Chapter (the guy the introduced me to the game said it is what everyone does). I made a story for a named Chaplain... and this is that guy. Some how you've read my mind. Wow...
Well gak, if that's Primaris sized I'll be having one for sure. Good thing it's Black Templars I'm working on atm, any other chapter and having three Chaplains might be considered excessive

Really? Care to share? I love Chaplains and I can't think of a single stock model that ornate.
Limited edition, but GWS.
Easy to forget about that one, but I'd say it's not even close to being as ornate. Ornate =/= decorations and accoutrements, if you stripped off cloaks, parchment and skulls the WE one definitely trumps the GW one on this score.
highlord tamburlaine wrote: Never saw that terminator chaplain. Shame he's already triple digit prices for a plastic release on eBay.
Supply and demand. I can't quite recall the convoluted alignment of celestial bodies that needs to occur for you to actually stand a chance of getting hold of one via GW, but it's fair to say that it's far from readily available.
According to common language usage? At least here in the UK.
You'd describe a cathedral as ornate, compared to say a basic house, because of it's arches, spires etc. not the ornamentation/decoration it has (Crucifixes, paintings, stain glass etc.).
Ergo for the models, the armour can be ornate even if it's not covered in decorations. That Terminator Chaplain is, as you say, covered in a bunch o' stuff, but his armour, bar the legs and gorget, is fairly plain.
While I like the sculpting abilities of WE --- the over-detailed/busy nature of the models will keep me from buying them any time soon. They have some nice less-busy kits in some of their other lines, but sometimes too much is just too much.
I bought the cult limo on Ebay. Most of the model is pretty awesome. However, I have a part broken, and the broken part is missing.
The right head light is missing.
I've tried to contact the seller on Ebay, but there has been no response. I'd be over the moon happy if they would get back to me, and arrange a replacement for this part.
Maybe they watch this better than they do Ebay?

They have a Facebook page, and can be contacted through that. Wargames exclusive is also just the seller, so it might be worth contacting grimskull through their Facebook page.

LOL First.. THE WHOLE POINT of my post was trying to figure out if this would be primaris sized. IF it is not, then there are tons of SIMILAR models.. meaning models that are similar in nature (ie representative of non-primaris Chaplains).

You could always request or suggest something. I suggested they make a roadster with a rumble seat. The next car out did have a trunk that could pass for a rumble seat and the car after that was a hot rod half track.

Given that's a 30mm base he's on, I'd say he'd make a perfectly good Lorgar. The detailing and style are appropriate, the size matches (this model looking to be around 50mm to the top of the head and Lorgar supposed to be one of the smaller Primarchs) and even the face looks sort of right.
It is a cracking model, if I didn't already have Kabuki's Not-Lorgar I'd be very tempted.

He's nowhere near 50mm - based on a rough measurement in MSPaint using the base diametre the eyesockets of the skull on the chestpiece are about 32mm up from the bottom of the feet, so I'd put him somewhere around the 40mm mark to the top of the head - Primaris sized, not Primarch. Which is perfect for me, I'll be ordering one as soon as the helmeted version is available.
Yes, a part of all the turrets. Good stuff! Although I must admit I deleted the servitor from one of the cars I purchased looked a bit too torchered soul for my use.
I find it humorous that I came into this thread and everyone was talking headlights, but for once it wasn’t about size of the headlights or if they were going to make the same model without the headlights showing .

I would do business with them without a worry. As a matter of fact I would have ordered that Chaplain... except I like the helmet they showed, not the bare head. Can anyone confirm it comes with both?
"With this car all the girls in the Underhive will think I'm the hottest thing in the hab. Now if only I could see where I was driving..."
Yes!
I must admit that the stylistic choice of no front visibility bugged me at first. But given the large number of cyber skulls plastered all over their cars it's easy to imagine the drivers use auspex to navigate, and windows remain as an anachronistic remnant from non weaponised cars. As a person who has contemplated the need to get behind hard cover, I can dig that large powerplant out front! Got to wonder about its shielding though.
The underhive girls rejoice, the only thing that's not shooting blanks is the heavy stubber.
BrookM wrote: The top right model of the ten model squad has an awkward running pose.
Nah, he's just doing the 'comedy tip-toe' routine.
I think it's designed for putting something like a skull under that front foot (most of their other models come on scenic bases).
Just ordered the battlesuits to add to my Tau, should have them at the end of the month.
I really like these take on the guardsmen, might have to add them to the wishlist (along with the Tau hovercycles already on the list).
I've already bought several of their Tau characters, and I'm really impressed with the quality, though it makes me self-conscious about my skills to paint them up.

Aye I'll need to see the actual models for these - at first glance the detailing looks too "deep" and chunky, but it often looks that way on renders while the final model looks great. If that's the case and the scale is right...
Wow great quality here! But how come these aren't sued and dismissed by GW? "Greater good", "heresy hunters", don't evne have to guess! And the designs, boltguns, space marines...

Because they're from Russia where copyright law isn't what it is in much of the world, and the names are *just* different enough to avoid any branded words.

It really hard to pursue IP infringement in certain countries. Russia Poland and Asia really being the hardest to stop. In China they don't even bother to rename stuff or make their own. They just straight up recast it.
Also, GW's ownership of the IP they claim is often less clear-cut than they'd like to imagine.
In that Chapterhouse debacle I seem to remember GW trying to chase after old employees trying to get them to retroactively sign over certain rights.
A lot of the concepts are decades old, from the days of Rogue trader and 2nd edition, and employment situations and contracts weren't always clear, even if the paperwork still exist.

Yup, and arguably most of what GW does falls under Design Rights in the UK not copyright, meaning most of the WHF and 40K IP - in terms of the visual aesthetics of the factions - should be pretty much a free for all anyway.

True, but when they don't go with unnecessary cheescake, WGE has some really nice sculpts.

Funnily enough I didn't even think it would be skin, I assumed it was the usual pseudo-formfitting female armor in action - aka paint it black like the rest of their power armor.
But on a related note, I revisited the Wargame site recently and had a peruse. Those gun servitor chicks were really naked before they made alts of them
Also you can see a deal for 10 troops or 5 command under the "Imperial Soldiers" tab on their site, or by typing "Dead Dogs" in the search bar at the top. Here's a link to the Imperial section:
https://wargameexclusive.com/product-category/imperial-soldiers/
The troop deal has them at only 4 EUR apiece, or 7 EUR for the command squad. Not bad! I'd actually be tempted to use that banner bearer for my Admech...

I'd say that when they DO go with unnecessary cheesecake... WGE still has some really nice sculpts. Quality of sculpt and content of sculpt being 2 different things

I didn't even notice it, which is pretty good for WE.
I'd just paint it the same (dark) colour as the rest of the armour, or dark gunmetal.

If that's true or not, I can't say, but in my perfect little world these 3rd party companies would continue to make things similar, yet different.
I'd actually prefer something like how Corvus Belli does with Infinity and make some deals with the more talented companies and make clear demarcation lines about what they can or can't do and have tacit OK to fill out the places that GW and Forge World never will.
I think I'm gonna have to get at least the squad of 10 for now. Even with the combat heel's and the slight cleavage the quality is too good not to miss out.

And by unpopular you meant unprofitable for GW. Maybe is Finecast had worked out or Sisters became a Forge World army you'd see official new stuff much faster. Though if GW wants to reintroduce space dwarves (not Squats) I'd say to do it through FW until they could make a game with plastic minis--the same way that they did with 30K Marines. Now if they'd just made the Sisters (instead of Marines) versus Necrons mini game. Such missed opportunities...

A yellow cab chuffs up to the battlefield deployment line. Moments after coming to a halt, a squad of ten Imperial Fists clamber out, with the marine toting the missile launcher pausing to pull out his wallet and pay the taxi driver before the car speeds off.
Across the battlefield, an armored red ferrari peels to a stop, its side presented to its mortal enemies. From the vehicle interior - including the trunk and wheel wells - pours a squad of thirty orks. The head ork draws his ey'fown and with a snaggletoothed grin pays the Uber driver the agreed amount of teef for the lift. "Okay boyz," the big warrior grunts, "It's time to start da rumble!"

A. That's easily fixed by painting said gap as an under-plate of armor so your assuming thats ment to be exposed breast. (probably rightly so though)
B. Your talking about a line that almost entirely goes into battle without helmets to show off their bob hairstyle... Strange that suddenly this is the impractical straw to break the silly concepts back.

It looks like a high heel bionic leg to me as it seems that would be something that WGE dose for a female character.
It's really hard to tell if the Tau gunner is wearing clothes, even on the alternate views. I like the idea and the execution, except for the ambiguity about the tau attire. And the head with the pigtails is ridiculous.
They can do really good Tau models though.This guy is awesome. I'll probably grab him next time I get paid.

Their eBay store is adding US$5 shipping per item. I'll stick to their main store.
Request an invoice/ total from their eBay store. It did that to me last time, shipping was an ungodly 50+, once I got the invoice, it was only 13 or so to ship everything to the states.

This. When combining shipping, it's full shipping cost for the first item, then $2 for each additional item.
Got my sisters in the mail, here's a size comparision. Heads and backpacks are mix and match. The arms are marked on the ball joint with roman numeral numbers to match a left/right pair so they arn't mixed up.
The minis I have from them seem to fit the Forgewold IG scale fairly well, as the proportions are not as heroic. Although their not pathfinders/ stealth dude looks pretty heroic. Some of the old Sisters are on the small side too. The hospitalier is tiny campaired to the necromunda figs
WGE figures tend to be on the larger side of things, more in the 32mm range. Their Tau models are all a good head or two taller than the typical Fire Warrior. The new Ethereal towers over a bunch of stuff.
Their Primaris- style chaplain is a monster of a figure too.
Doesn't surprise me to hear their Sisters skew a bit taller.
The Red Pact are putting out a heavy warzone vibe compared to some other takes on Abnett's vision.... Not my preference personally, though I do like Warzone.

I guess creepy bionics are too creepy? I can see that medic getting to the heart of the matter but you could probably do a leg swap if it bothered you that much. Though many would balk at cutting up such expensive miniatures and some skill would be required. I know I didn't like the servitor in the back of one of their cars so I turned it into a fastback trunk.

I actually think that version is a good opportunity to put more details on their "flat" torso surface. Boobs are nice, but their curves make some details a bit "odd" if they're not adapted.
It’s actually a bionic waist; she was captured by a haemonculus that took the concept of a ‘belly shirt’ far too literally, but managed to escape on the back of a pair of warp turtles after improvising a replacement skin from interwoven shardnets.

Legs dont bother me, but ill wait until versions with torso armor come out before buying any.
Design aside, I'm amazed of the quality of their resin. Very few bubbles and mold lines, the details on some parts are amazing. Very well worth their price, IMHO.

The wargame exclusive stuff is made very, very well, but it could stand to be slightly toned down in the detail department. There are practically zero surfaces that don't have some kind of. . . thing. . . going on. Can't even see the armor underneath all the skulls and chains. It's like they saw that limited edition terminator chaplain from a couple years ago and said "hold my beer".

Digigrade legs is one of the cool things you can get from a company like WGE to spice things up. They're kind of hit or miss with me though.
I too noticed the waist on that figure. If you're going to make a more realistic SOB figure, you might as well go whole hog and not have the waist smaller the face, IMHO. It is not like you are catering to the market that is bugged by silly boobs but hot for narrow waists - I think that population mostly vanished around 1900.
Look how tiny her waist is. She needs that exosuit, otherwise she'd get blown in half trying to fire that gun.
In all seriousness, I've had ideas for how Guard could field Ofryns without having to use their ugly models and one idea I keep coming back to is a Guardsman wearing an exoskeleton. This figure fits that idea perfectly.

Difficult to see. Always in motion the future is.
But I imagine they are going to see like gangbusters for the impatient. Furthermore, do we know a SoB release date other than "2019"? WE could rack enough enough sales to make a profit on the work and molds well before GW does an official release. And the Repentia models could sell well despite the GW offerings.
Just my uneducated guesses.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Are the Wargame Exclusive minis made from 3D printed masters? Or does someone traditionally sculpt the minis that go into the mold? (is it called vulcanization? I'm still pretty new to the mini creation thing)
If they are 3D printed, does anyone know the software, printer, and materials they use? Because those renders are awesome. And if the resin-cast miniatures are as good as reported, I'm impressed - the 3D printed stuff I've seen has way to much stair-stepping to my liking, and I'd assume that transfers to the rubber molds.
