While browsing the new Reaper site, I realized that in some point in the past three months, they've managed to fix whatever had been stopping their Greens section from displaying new ones. Now, I don't remember all the ones that I've posted on here already (and there are a LOT of Greens on there), so I'm just going to hit the highlights. Or at least the ones I could come up with funny captions for.

At some point, every artist tries to do a self-portrait. A lot of them take the cop-out of doing a self-portrait of themselves, doing a self-portrait. Here's a new way out - why not the Reaper succubus Sophie doing your self-portrait?



Sometimes, even gobbos feel the need to rivet a bunch of metal together to create a shield. Fantasy, 40k, who cares? It looks orky!



Need Chaos warriors with their arms doing more than just elbows-at-the-sides? Well, all you have to do here is add a few skulls, replace the wings on the helmet with horns, add a topknot, and you're set!



And who hasn't had the urge to add naked humans dangling over fires to their display boards? I know I have! Luckily, Bobby Jackson has read our minds...



Sometimes, sculptors come back to themes. Finari is one of them that Werner Klocke has done before. It's OK with me if he just sculpts a few more versions of her...



Sculptor: "What should we call this model, guys?"
Salesman: "How about Snake Eyes!"
Lawyer: "Ummm... try again."
Salesman: "How about Cobra?"
Lawyer: "Well, that *DID* apply to the organization and not a single member... so I'll let it slide!"



Personally, I know one of the things I've really been lacking is a model with a diving bell. Great Old Ones! Eureka!



Reaper just has this thing for paladins. They keep producing more and more of them. And yet, I keep buying more and more of them... I think I may have a problem.



And, because Werner Klocke loves getting us in trouble with our wives, or girlfriends, or boyfriends:

(No, no honey! It's for painting!)


What kind of model is this? Well, let's run the checklist. Huge shield? Check. Pointy or slashy thing? Check. Beard? Check.
That must make it a dwarf.



Show me on the model where the Julie Guthrie sculpt touched you...


And we'll close out with cameos from the Plasmatics, Motörhead, and the grown-up outcast of the Jackson Five:

As a model, the brigitte sculpt is awful, but I know that there's gonna be folks who just eat that kind of crap up. Loving the motorhead dude.

Haha that's awesome.

Well, the captive girl will be finding its way into my Chaos army (Probably the warshrine), Brigitte will be cut to pieces for conversion (daemonettes mostly) and the pillar of nudes will go into my daemon temple.
The three bottom ones will be sitting in my display cabinet (Probably undercoated but not painted for a good few years) and Sophie will be joining her sisters on their own shelf.

Is it me or is the entire reaper website set up counterintuitively?

Finding anything in their online store is quite frustrating.

Also I don't know if they know this but the majority of the world reads from left to right, so putting their menu for the online store on the right is just... bad.

great champ of slaanesh there
might have to pick 1 up at some point.

Yeah, definetly a lot of Slaneesh stuff there.
Oh, and I'm so gonna order that Cobra guy. Not only is he almost perfect for Snake Eyes (funny that I want a mini of him altough I've never seen the original cartoon....well, that's popculture for ya'), but with the right head he will make a kick-ass Solid Snake mini as well.

Superb sculpts from Werner Klocke there, good stuff. The rest is ok I guess.
