I think the first priority would be to ensure that their heads are one piece. My God... two-piece heads. What were they thinking!!!!!!!!!!! I have two unopened boxes of Gaunts still waiting to be built and I've avoided them simply because of two-piece heads.

There, there, H'. It only takes a bit of glue.

I glue coins on their bases.
Which is funny, because they really need that extra bit of change added to their cost.

I like the current Tyrant. The only thing plastic would help is wings.

Gargoyles and Raveners in plastic would make it worth filling out a few broods though, even if they are not fielded.

I hate the two piece heads. Sometimes they just never, ever line up. If you cut a bit too deep cleaning the flash off of the back of their head parts, then they definitely will never line up because one side might be rounded and the other will be flat.

Pss...

Glue it together then clean it.

LOL, yep...

I buy 1 Inch steel washers at Lowes, I think they are 5$ for 50 in a box. They are the perfect size to fit on the bottom and they fit flush, the extra 1/16th of an inch height is no big deal.

Just superglue them before you prime the models.

Pennies... they're 500 for $5 almost anywhere. If you have the money I might even recommend the deluxe edition nickel... only $.05 a piece... that like 100 for $5 and fits pretty well. :p

I have heard that legion of the dammed is comming out in januaryand nids are comming out in febuary

I don't like using washers on the slotta bases. I found these tungsten disks for relatively cheap. 3 or 4 per hormie and no more falling over.

Nice. Buckshot works as well as long as we'll discussing weighting your bases.

I use birdshot on most of my bases that won't fit a nickel, and it's terrific.

Nice. How many do you guess per bag? If they are that dense and heavy I don't imagine a 1oz bag contains a lot of them or am I way off?

And please use capital letters where appropriate. It's not difficult.

Probably a hundred of them in each bag and I got 4 bags for about that price (can't remember if it was that exact site or not). Besides my hormies I've also used them to stabilize metal marines like Dante, vanguard vets and the jump pack chaplain model. I've also used them to balance Zoanthropes by putting 8 to 10 on top of the base and another 8 to 10 on the bottom of the base and then liberally covering them with green stuff. I've still got plenty left over. They only real downside is that they aren't sold in uniform sizes. Each bag has an assortment of different sizes. I've been using the thicker ones, about 1/16".

First new creature, thanks to Lorizael from 40konline:



I guess this is the new big psyker that was rumoured about.

ooooooh. very malanthorpy.

I like...
Although it reminds me of something I saw in a video from Japan

The FW model is a lot nicer. This has really wierd proportions. It reminds me of an asterisk. *

I prefer the FW model, but I'd have to see more images first to make a real decision. This is of course assuming it IS a Malanthrope.

That's assuming it's supposed to be a Malanthrope, I'm thinking it's something new. Though I agree that it's a little out of proportion, but perhaps it's just a bad photograph.

looks like a conversion to me.

I suppose it could be yet another resculpt of the Zoanthrope, but what are the tentacles for? Lash whips? It doesn't look like a close combat species.

Yeah, the white on white is kinda messing with my eyes.

Is that two pairs of lash whips as its weapon symbiotes?

It looks like it's got feeder tendrils, two claw arms (but not rending claws or scything talons) and then two tentacles.

I don't think it's a conversion. The lower body looks substantively different than the Zoanthrope. I think it's one of the new species.

I also fear it's going to be a horribly top-heavy metal model. At least I can't really see them doing a model like that in plastic.

As top-heavy as it must be, if it's not plastic, it's pure fail on the tabletop.

Zoidberg meets a Tyrant? The most horrible model in the army!

Not so much close combaty goodness... Im not liking it so much, I think the FW Malanthrope looks like a New York Floating Parade Baloon so the resemblance isnt good IMHO.

If it's like the current Zoanthropes it'll be ok once you weight the base.
