Professionalism is indeed a good thing.

Wow.
That's a LOT of boobage for an elf.

Two things to Chapterhouse. First, I like that Elf Arachnid Queen. Just a little bit wide in the face I think, but other then that, no complaints. Gonna have to get one for my shelf, since I don't play Elves, space or otherwise.

Second, have you guys givin' any thought to to making compatible pieces for some of GWs evil super soldiers?

this is pure win, I will have to buy one >< hopefully she comes with different arm options. though I would love to see a squad of all females like this, just with different poses and helmet options. if you guys made a full 10 wo(man) squad, and sold it for about 10bucks more than the 5 man squad GW makes I'd be all over that, lol I'd more than likely buy more than I had a use for ><.

IMHO one of your best items to date, keep up the good work CH.
G.A.

Wow... I dont even play not-Space Elves anymore and I wanna buy the Space Elf Boobage Queen for my next diorama.

Ok, I'm done. If you think my opinion is meer trolling then there is no point in posting. I will also leave this thought, if one company with no original ideas is allowed to poach ideas from another then what is stopping that company from cherry picking big sellers from others? I really don't like the look of that wedge. Scibor and the others have found a good balance, and are bringing out high quality products, why are we not seeing that here?

Ta ta

Now see thats a lot better, I agree its probably a little too much, but, and this is the key thing at least at a first glance from a few feet away anyone looking can tell 'yep its a girl'

You've probably got your first sale from me when that Arachnid girl comes up CH.

It's hilarious that people were complaining that the Female Farseer didn't have large enough breasts whereas people comment on the large breasts of the female "Stinging Arachnid" warrior.

Regardless, I love the sculpt. I am a huge fan of all Chapterhouse Eldar and Tyranid releases. They're both my armies and untapped potential for third party bits.

My only complaint is a personal one. I'm not a fan of armored units without helmets - human or elf. I even modeled my Rangers to not have unhelmeted heads.

Either way, it's good to have an auxillary model to augment my squads with wargear options that don't exist in the Codex.

Actually my complaint about the female farseer was I couldn't tell it was female, and already noted, I'd rather it was slighty over the top like this and obviously female, than unable to tell.

edit - in fact after a couple of checks, its not that bad anyways, its on par with the GW Banshees.

I really, really wish I could say the farseer was an awesome model but thats just not the case for me. If I cut it into 3 pieces... the head, the torso and the legs, each bit is averagely good. But not as female, seperately or as one piece. The proportions are almost painful to look at, when I look to buy a female model, especially a HQ choice, I want to go 'wow' thats incredible: not see that the legs are to short, the shoulders are completely too wide and even taking into consideration for shoulderpads and armour haven't been counter balanced with a wider hip area. Female models are all about hips and pose, to a lesser degree breasts (okay not that much lesser ): the farseer just doesn't tick all those boxes.

As for the scorpion; couldn't the farseer have those proportions at least? Its a much better model and I like it enough to say if I had an Eldar army she might just have a place in it.

IMHO, claiming that a company has "no original ideas" when it's patently not the case could be deemed to be insulting...particularly with sunshine's track record of posts. Probably what Kroot was getting at.

Oh, and on topic...love the female space elf - brilliant pose, good execution, and nicely over-the-top.

Far from "Not the case", surely? Giving a Striking Scorpion breasts isn't exactly original as an idea. Making a Farseer that is a girl isn't either...even more so because such a beast already exists, and was posted earlier. It seems more insulting to expect that people take the knowing wink that is "slightly adjusting the name" as evidence that something is original and not just copying. calling something a "Not-Shuriken Pistol" does not make it any less a Shuriken Pistol.

I think I recognize the style of that sculpt. Was the sculptor by any chance a Brit?

R.

Good Lord...why couldn't the "not-Farseer" look awesome like the "not-Scorpion"?

I might be late to the thread, but terribletrygon was referring to this farseer, from DoW 2. Definitely much better than Taldeer.

Dear fans we appreciate and welcome all feed back to further improve Chapter House's product quality so we may continue to serve you well into the future and beyond.

Saying that, we have two different sculptors for the two minis. This is the first offering (impressive as it is) from Michio who frequents the site.

I also has this model looked at by another sculptor upon initial receipt, and he was able to point out some things I had not noticed and we were able to have Michio fix those as well. The end product is very nice and interesting.

If you do have any critiques on the model I am sure Michio will be reading them (so do be not-insulting).

This model will come with the multiple options I showed earlier. It will probably run in the 15-16$ price range due to the 6 different arms it comes with (and are great for conversion pieces as well).

Painted photos should be up soon. I dont know if this model will be on the site before I head out for vacation this saturday, if not then it will be soon after.

I appreciate the intelligent post and thank everyone for their contributions.

But enough about Games Workshop!

so this scorpion is someone's first offering !?... congrats on getting a fine sculptor.

okay that scorpion chick is awesome. the doomseer thing, well, couldnt they have made her/it more female looking?

I love the "Stining Arachnid", that's pretty awesome.

But are they going to be 16$ each for a single model?

if so, that's a bit much, even with the extra bits in each package.

I believe its supposed to be a chracter, ie exarch or autarch or summit, not a grunt.

Or at least i think thats the intention!!

Wow, the scorpionchick is in a whole other league than the crappy farseer!

Legs & arms are awesome,
Head is okay, I'll just model on a faceplate
Only the torso looks slightly off...

Not perfect, imho helmets are better for miniatures in 99% of cases, for faces are hit or miss. This one was almost good... Just slightly off (too small? Dunno).
The torso, dunno

I think I'll be getting one of those, if only for conversionbits (legs&arms are superb!)



Far better than the (really crappy) farseer, good job!

I feel vindicated now in wanting boobs for the farseer!

could you show us the scorpion with the not-biting blade and other arm options?

Here you go (wish me luck I just spent the last 2 hours trying my hand at the production mold, its my first time making a mold).
