Resin doesn’t = premium.

There's a difference between buying chinese recasts because they're cheaper and buying boutique resin sculpts because they're better. Wargame Exclusive is very obviously in the latter category, mmkay?

Never bought that stuff. But it doesn’t look that good to be. Some of the poses are ropey and the details don’t look that crisp. For superior quality boutique stuff I would look at artel W. There stuff is amazing quality. This all looks meh to me.

Just had my first orders of both WE and Artel arrive, and first impression is that yeah, Artel has a slight edge in quality, but the WE models are very nice and hold detail well with little cleanup or pre-work required. In fact, of the two, Artel was the only order that has an issue worth sending an email over (bent sword with bubble preventing straightening).

So I would definitely classify WE as boutique, and to me worth the price.

I got my first order of WE for christmas, wasn't expecting much quality wise, just some fun minis to break up a bit my army painting schedule. I was amazed by their quality, no air bubbles, almost no flash or mold lines, easy to put togetether, much better quality than Forge World for a fraction of the price. Sculpt wise I am not a fan of all of their sculpts but some of them, their not-Tau for exampe, have some gorgeous, full of character sculpts.

Many years ago I bought a bunch of WE models. If anyone remembers their "totally not a Custodes Terminator" that they no longer sell on their website. Even for one of, if not the, oldest sculpt it still holds up well. I didn't buy it because it was cheaper. I bought it because it added variety.

I got some of the not-skitarii bodies, and interestingly they were packaged in ‘Army Gainer’ packaging (rather than the usual ‘grimskull’ stuff), and the resin appears to be slightly different - their usual stuff is quite shiny, and this is a more matte, and feels slightly more brittle. Still good casts with no real mould lines/slippage/flash as usual, but just thought I’d point it out. Not sure if maybe the Army Gainer thing might be a new range for things to be used with left overs from other (GW) kits, like what people were discussing above...?

I am quite the fan of their not-Necron alt bodies for the Immortal/Deathmark box set. Lends some good variety and uses up the extra components in the box set.

Anyone remember when these showed up?











The guns aren't new, I believe, but the turret base appears to be. Some of these are the closest I've seen to Quantum Gothic's stuff, if anyone remembers them.

Also I think this Tau biker is new:

The turrets are old stuff. The guns were parts of the razorback conversion kit (been there for a couple of years, if I remember well).

The T'au biker is the only new stuff.

That Tau biker looks perfectly suited to hunt down psykers named Kanea.

What are some other dual kits they can do?
There are a few AOS ones i wouldnt mind but i doupt those are options
The Ogryn/Bulllgryn ones would be good IMO

Genestealer cult Acolytes would be a really good choice, with all the leftover bits from just one box you could easily make an extra 10 models.

My other suggestions would be Neophyte Hybrids/Brood Brothers and Sisters of Silence.

Looks like Wargames exclusive are also working on a basing set of plastic Necron bases, Sounds like it might include 3 different sprues with the one in the image having 6x32mm, 3x40mm and 2x50mm bases.

Well , I was looking at basing for my Indomitus Necrons and that style just went to the top of my list .

That's hella cool. Not only as the product itself - which looks excellent - but as a portent of third-party faction-specific hard plastic sculpted bases for GW armies in general... hot damn. What a time to be alive.

Agreed, I've similar resin bases from Tabletop Combat, but with plastic models nad small contact points it means a lot of work with drills and thin bits of metal to pin every single model. If there are plastic bases on the market I'm going for them fast.

Did you try Araldite, Overread? That's what I used for plastic CSM on third party resin bases, and it mostly worked. Admittedly power armoured models have big feet.

I'm more worried about things like the new walkers, which once you take off their base decorations have tiny tiny contact points (and you can't really keep the decoration on as its all rubble/ruin and doesn't blend with the base)

Yeah fair. And the Araldite definitely seems to need slightly bigger areas before it really sets right, on plastic-to-resin, than e.g. on metal-to-metal (where it can be a good alternative to pinning, for the lazy, i.e. me).

Surprised these haven't been shared yet: https://wargameexclusive.com/product-category/mechanic-adepts/

Alternate heads for the Skitarii cowpokes!





These and more over at the link.

Wonderfull

Utterly awesome!

The turret bases are fairly new, they still have the other bases though, the three legged and four legged walker/stand.

I have been watching them a while and the large rocket launcher turret is on my buy list, to serve my Sisters army.

Spotted on Facebook:





Damn it, if I had the budget I'd snatch these up in an instant, perfect for my collection of inkies.

Wow...just wow...

Oh yes, those are great.

Love me some grimdark, but how does one turn the pages of a book when your other hand is a flashlight?

Heh, he can't even see because the top of his head is a brazier. But this is the right amount of grimdark that wouldn't look out of place as art for a splatbook.

edit.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand oh gak..





I want to put this model on top of that flying Sisters pulpit now.

Ok damn those are cool.

With faith. Obviously.

Clearly he doesn’t need to as he’s already memorised it letter for letter. They only carry it around because it weighs thirty pounds and makes an excellent bludgeon.

TAUSUO!

Ontopic.

I had no real need for anything new but those retinue minis have made me develop a new itch!

He's just the bookrack and reading light. He doesn't read the book.

Looks more like a speaker to me, still can’t read too well when your eyes are surrounded with flames.

Wargames Exclusive's new IMPERIAL TEMPLAR MARSHAL model. (AKA totally not Helbrecht.)

https://wargameexclusive.com/shop/space-warriors/imperial-templar-marshal/

I get really "Space Marine Video Game" vibes off him and the ork (not a bad thing at all in my book).

I think it is a fitting update for him, although quite a different feel to the old model (who I love)
