The worst part about that model is what he's wearing on his head. He's got a chainsaw hat. It looks absolutely rediculous. And he's dressed like Sean Connery was in the movie Zardoz.
Strangely no pics of this figure exist in the Solegends database. This is the best one I could;d track down from a quick google image search (though the left arm is converted)
Here's my unconverted one...
I love this mini, for the same reason I love the movie 'Bloodsport'... it's cheesy and over the top, and just silly enough to be amusing. Chainsaw hat!!!? Sign me up

Ogre women aren't supposed to fight, so she's in disguise.
The best part was that the fake beard was a separate piece.

Back to the range that started this:

Top row, fourth from the right, foot in a bucket and head beeing eaten by a fish. How is that for silly?
The weirdest miniatures made by GW are not this one, but most of the original 80's miniatures made by Kevin "Mad Dog" Addams. He made at least twice as many models as any other designer at the time, and that was AFTER half of his production was rejected.
Might be why he ended up in a mental institution in the 90's..

No, definitely the person.
That is one of the most epic, iconic models/paintjobs in 40K. Anyone who doesn't understand its universe shattering awesomeness should be nowhere near 40K.

He has lime Green Hooves, Leopard print skin armor and a fething volcano coming out his head.  The model itself is silly but awesome but the paintjob... For me it is stupid. However we are all entitled to our own opinions.

saw that yesterday, and I'm inclined to agree. If they wanted a three-man vehicle with large plasma weapons, it should've been something similar to a predator. (plasma cannon sponsons and an executioner turret). This one's not too bad:  it looks like a stormtalon crossed with a valkyrie, which is a good thing. It's how the stormtalon should have looked.

The only problem with the Stormtalon is the oversized underslung assault cannons. If you mount those somewhere else, or use smaller ones from another kit, it looks great. Really 'attack helicopter-ish'

"Did you ever notice how in the Bible, when ever God needed to punish someone, or make an example, or whenever God needed a killing, he sent an angel? Did you ever wonder what a creature like that must be like? A whole existence spent praising your God, but always with one wing dipped in blood. Would you ever really want to see an angel?" |

It hasn't been released yet. It's one of the new Dark Angels things that went on Advance Order today.
Both of them, in fact.
