The first Warlock from the Retribution of Scyrah faction is now up on the main page of PP. Also a Dawnlord Soldier concept sketch is down below Vyros.

So far not too bad, but I still want to see more and to find out whether or not they are going to be plastic Myrmidon's and units with Caster's, Solo's and such metal?

Enjoy!

PAULDRONMACHINE gets another great sculpt. I played this game for a bit when it came out, the armor designs are really starting to get out of hand.

Thats a bare arsed brazen statement if ever I heard one. I think you might have a slight problem with tunnel vision.

Theres great stuff coming out for other games, Infinity, Anima tactics, not to mention independant (non rules related) miniatures, from the likes of Enigma, and Wyrd.....

Both look like something out of a Squaresoft RPG. And not in a good way.

I was really looking forward to seeing PPs take on elves develop but so far it is pretty meh. And I am not a WM\hordes hater, as I usually only dislike the goofy poses some models have.

Yes, it's a sad, lonely existence. I'm just consistently very hard to impress, and none of the companies you mentioned have succeeded in doing that this year.

The head. I think it's the wrong proportion. Though I think I see why, given the suit. Maybe
they were trying to figure out how to make him fit his armor and not have the weird thing
where his arms would look tiny sticking out the sides.

I blogged about this, and ended my post about how I think it'd be hilarious if Lord Vyros
were the falcon rather than the elf

Egh. Why the hell can't Privateer Press come out with decent Elfin heads? I love the concept art of these guys, but this model exhibits most of the reasons why I can't really get into the game - models which have many good features, but enough "silly" features that turns me away from them.

I agree, PP does some good stuff, this just isn't some of it. slowed Vladesque shoulder pads, butter knife oversized sword- it's phail --. They seem to have a problem with elves. Their Everblight elves also tend to look really awful. Whoever did the Nyss sorceress should be the only one allowed to sculpt elflike minis for them.

I like the model. I guess the fact that I grew up playing Mutant Chronicles, which was my first experience with Mega Pauldrons, desensitized me to how awkward and bad they may look. The sword is a bit...um compensating for something??? And I don't know about the duck-billed squirrel on the arm.

I do like the face. These are more manly elves, which might actually entice me to want to play them. I generally hate elves and refuse to play them. This is PP's take on elves and you have to take that with everything that comes with it. These aren't your tree hugging hippy elves who want to save nature. These are badass warriors who loathe humans and want to show them how war should be conducted. This guy looks like the general who could start that war.

I am looking forward to seeing what the whole army will look like, as well as how they play against the current factions. Rifle Swords that look cool for once! Hell yes!!!

A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve is someone who, at one point in his/her life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America" for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

Part of the reason why the head looks horrible is the seeming unnatural angle that it is tilted at. The whole dynamic of the model seems to be at rest, yet the head looks like its trying to be in motion, especially with the outstretched arm and falcon.

The cloth skirt stuff he has going on kinda hides his legs (which are pretty thin to be honest) and makes the whole model look kinda top heavy, and also loses any of the movement he may have in his legs, since you can't really see them.

To fix this model, the head needs to just be turned a little bit, or cut off and use an eldar guardian or DA head and put it on straight, and really that should fix the model. Also I might add that I'm not really feeling bald or scalplock elves, especially when their faces are extremely square. That kinda makes him look more like Santa's Christmas Elf rather than a stern elf destroyer general veteran.

Thats why we dislike the model. The concept art and the model do not agree.

Exactly!

Now, I'm worried to see what PP does for the Wraithlord & Wraithguard...

At least we've got 2 sculpts of Mage Hunters to work with, so we should be OK there.

Well, it looks like every other PP model.

I like their stuff, but they should shake it up a bit, make an army that doesn't take design tips from lady's fashion from the 80's.

Maybe some Elves that are lithe, not juiced out NFL linebackers.
