a snip at £127

I think I just had a spontaneous orgasm. That thing is amazing...

Unfortunately, the number of legs are wrong.

Oh well, I can live with that. Looks like my Chaos are getting some lovin' this year.

HOLY SMOKES! I know it's partly the paint job that makes that thing looks so incredible, but DAMN! That's a NICE model.

That's lovely, and MUCH nicer than any defiler conversion.

As part of their dedication to Khorne, Brass Scorpions pull some of their own legs off. Carapace for the Blood God!

I would like it more if the tail is longer.

And does this mean it wont be out in plastic for chaos any time soon? BOO

the price seems nice for a massive model , so its a plus. I can see every chaos player getting one.

GW's always said since Apocalypse that Forge World would be making the kit.

IT'S A BEAUTY!

Oops! I just wet my pants :(

That's one sweet looking model. I don't know if it's worth getting, as brass scorpions started life as a failr simple conversion project, but they did a great job with their take on it.

Very nice. Lots of great detail. Well done FW.

Nicely detailed, well put together, but to be honest..... I don't like it...

Taste thing I guess cause its a nice enough figure, but something about the overall shape just puts me off. Something about the Tail/Body being one thing I think, makes it look like its standing on its head too much....

Hordes of people will however buy it your right! :-)

Wow, do want!

Wow. That is nice. I love the gloss effect on the carapace.

That is what I always imagined a Talos should look like...hmmm....

Great looking model.

Wow thats all i see now that you said that. Good call!

*poops pants* Damn that is SICK.

I guess FW has to do SOMETHING to up the ante now that GW makes plastic titans.

Orgasmic! Makes me want to dust off my Black Legion...

Wow, they've taken it into a completely different direction from what GW was doing with their Defiler conversions.

Really, making a design as far away from the Defiler as possible was the only real way to tackle this particular design, and I believe they got this one down just right. All in all, the design looks evil, demonic and very much alive, even though it doesn't have any kind of eyes or face.

Holy crap. I have not gotten a dorkon like this from a model in ages, that thing is jaw dropping.

Wow, wow, wow. And I love apocalypse, I hope someone in my group picks this up to battle my baneblade and incoming stormlord.

This
is
AWESOME

WOW, plus the aesthetics and shape make it OK for me to get away with plonking it in my 1K Sons!

Now that, that is a cool Brass Scorpion.

It boggles my mind that people like this model.

I think it's crap.

It's not a "Scorpion" due to the leg count being wrong. And the pyramid design? Ew.

Now don't get me wrong - the techno-organic detailing is exceptionally well-done.

It's just that the overall model design is lacking. Especially when expectations were set with the pictured model in the Apoc rulebook.

To be honest, when I clicked on the link, I was hoping for a resin-plastic hybrid that used the Defiler Leg sprues around a poseable resin core with resin armor plates and extra-sexy claws.


Still, the fact that FW is going backwards on more Apoc Superheavies only reinforces how much GW must be making with their new Apoc-centric approach. In particular, I'm excited to see Ork Stompa and Chaos Brass Scorpion precisely because Imperials don't take them. I'm excited about that, because it makes it more likely we will have Eldar Scorpion & Revenant sooner, rather than later.

The pincher looks way off compared to what scoprions looks like

could probably pass off as dark eldar telos :x

Nice armor plating design, but ... tail / pincher not quite there .


I mean... i would rather spend $20 on

Likewise, I am boggled by your opinion, and the blunt way in which you insinuate that the idea of anyone actually liking this model is literally inconcevable to you. To me, the Apocalypse rulebook conversion looks not only like a simple conversion, but also bloody stupid, what with that idiotic little face on the gun mantlet. Of course, for me the Defiler has always been the slowed stepchild of the Games Workshop plastic models range. FW didn't take the easy way out with this model, and I respect them for it.

I don't understand the hangups people have with it not having the "right" amount of legs or the right kind of claws. "Brass Scorpion" is just a name, not an accurate description, or are you telling me you'd feel the same way about a perfectly-proportioned model that simply wasn't painted brass?

Platuan4th wrote:Unfortunately, the number of legs are wrong.

Que?
AFAIK the FW Brass Scorpion in the pics has the right number of legs (8):
- six normal ones and the front two legs in claw form - just as a real scorpion.

You will spend a *lot* more than $20 for a Deathpion...

They typically run over $100!

It's a Scorpion because that's what people call it in the setting. Do you complain because the F-16 Fighting Falcon only kinda-sorta resembles a raptor in the genus Falco?

Anyway, it's got six legs and two 'pincer' weapon-arms. That's a total of 8 to make Khorne happy, and seems to amtch msot scorpion pics I've found online.

A DeathPion runs something like $100, if you can find it!
