The Doodad looks kind of like a bird to me, possibly a Dodo , so close. Was there any of the plastic guys from the leaked picture that had that sort of a pose?

I thought it looked like a bird too! But I didn't say anything about it because I thought that it being a bird on a back pack was a completely daft notion and would probably get me laughed out of the thread.

It's not the khan. Aside from the sword as mentioned, there's a blurry image of it and it's certainly not a primarch model. Looks like a custodes to me.

It's a custode, the image has been shown in the other thread. I'd try to link it here, but I'm at work and not all images load up due to our system.

It could be a new design standard to allow easy posing of dynamic miniatures that do not possess what HBMC refers to as 'swirly gak'.

More of a pain for you with the clear plastic bases you've stated you use.

I can cover it with chinchilla bath dust!

Models running on tippee toes can be a pain though. I never liked the extra time to hold the running Cadian in place due to the small contact area.

They are heroes so far removed from others that their feet cannot stand the abomination of a simple base.

GW adding interest to bases is a good thing. Any opinion to the contrary is wrong.

I think that's a bit of an exaggeration.

With good plastic cement you cover the contact points of both parts with glue, give it five to ten second to start a reaction, put them together and apply pressure for a second or two. Stuff shouldn't come apart again after that.

With GW models especially I'm not sure why an even larger surface to stand the model on is desirable given the oversized feet GW usually puts on their models. It makes sense as it goes with the general heroic proportions, and it has the added benfit of providing a large surface to glue on the base. Adding a tactical rock for stability alone is overkill.

Even the Witch Elves I cut from their tactical rocks that only have actual, tiny triangles of the tip of their feet to keep them on the bases are sooner going to snap at the ankle than lose the glued connection.

Or it's the replacement for the slotta tab that used to fit into slotta bases. Now, to keep a model in place, one needs a big, flat rock to glue to the base-top.

Most of the rocks GW puts their characters on are kinda small, just look at the Emperor's Champion for example, it's standing on a rock barely larger than is foot.

Besides, things like Skitarii have tiny feet and no rocks under them, and yet they're very stable.

No, definitely more time than a small dab on the feet of the two feet on the ground models. Plus a little extra time to prevent them developing a bit of a lean.

So glad there was only one per sprue of five Guardsmen.

I can imagine worse things.. like, what if they don't show the new HH box this time either? That'd mean we'd still be way off from the actual release. If they at least show it, it cannot be too far off

Same, I'd like to see what we saw in the leaks in more detail, and see what comes in each kit as options tbh, the Contemptor in particular.

I'm really not expecting the box to be shown. Just a hunch that a release of that size would probably be saved for a summer slot. Hope to be wrong.
