Thanks folks.

Yes the swords are like the concept art ( the one with one eye) but I was asked to add some crystals in some places due to Fluff... Yet the overall design is like the concept art.

I will also, like Chapterhouse said, do a tentacle classic lash arms... imagine the small tentacle bellow the the vertebrae multiplied by 3 on the new classic arms.

I must say its getting nuts to handle so many new commissions requests these days... I will do my very best to keep everyone happy.

Oh spotted the bug heads I done on the last video of beasts of war ehehe funny.

Ah...I was kind of hoping they would look more like the actual GW bit. I guess if I want one of those I'll have to wait until GW themselves do them (lmao, yeah...).

I really like your take on the lash, though. I may wait for the more traditional tentacled ones instead for mine, but I dunno, I really love how the sculpted vertebrae version looks.

Hoping that non-GW companies sell exact copies of GW designs is unrealistic.

Obviously. I wasn't asking for an "exact" copy, however, just something that looked similar...like if there were an actual hand integrated into the blade to make it look more like a symbiotic organism (and a hand holding a weapon at the same time ) instead of just a weird growth on the end of the arm.

How would you bend the whips. I dont get it

Well if they're cast in metal then you should be able to bend them easily, though they'll also break easily, as I've experienced with many models that came with bent weapons in the past.

And if they were cast in resin you put them in hot water and bend them.

Im pretty sure they will be cast in resin so thats good to know thanks. Boiling water? And how long?

Why are you "pretty sure"? Hasn't CH himself said they would be in metal?

They're supposed to be in both metal and resin.

Oh I had just remembered hearing they would be in resin. Is there a Tut for reshaping resin?

You just put it in hot water or use a hairdryer or something.

That’s how you do the cables on the warhound titan. Just dip them in a bowl of freshly boiled kettle water for about 30 seconds, then take out shape and hold till it re hardens.


I find with the hair dryer method the temperature is too hard to control, sometimes resulting in the resin melting.

Email CH last night and he said they would most likely be metal because it was less expensive and the swords wont be too thin or have holes. So I was wrong.

ETA on the boneswords and lash whips? Pics?

I have a crap load of nids fighting battles, missing a bunch limbs!

Navarro, is mailing the swords and spinal whips this friday (or so scheduled). So that means they should be for sale in 2.5 weeks.

Will be metal

Awesome!! Any chance of some preview pics?

So only the Pods are missing now and then you`ll get a realy big order!

Oh thank you, thank you CH and Navarro! The whips and swords will be greatly appreciated. Metal will be easire to bend, but resin would have been lighter and thus more preferable to magnitizing so as to avoid droopage.

I already ordered a bunch of the SW Celtic Shields. Looking forward to Pyriels take on the SW termie shoulder pads. Hopefully he will do some standard SW shoulder pads as well! Given the popularity of Thunderwolves, some Deathwolf shoulder pads would be nice.

Ya I know, but I was hoping to see how the actual model came out.
