Very nice from Micro Art:

Sorry, but those have been around for ages. I've bought a blister of them myself when they were released. Lovely models, pity that those random arms were all guns and no manipulators.

Their bases are lovely as well though.

Old news...and now that I'm looking at them, their anatomy looks very...very...off, kinda bugging me. But they are cool models nonetheless!

Ah, I see now. Sorry, those are new releases no doubt. They look taller and have armoured chests unlike the previous, who had exposed ones.

They look the same to me man (Iron Brotherhood Angel without the wings), just a different paintjob!

Old:

I edited my post, I meant to say that the bodies seem to belong to the Angel models.

Hmm, the older one's look better than the new ones O_o

Agreed! the older models are much better. IMO

Old ones look like they'd make much better Skitarii

Nowhere near as cool as the old old ones, a.k.a. the originals which I am fortunate enough to possess 20(actually, 22, got free extras it seems...).

Although the "old ones" do seem a lot nicer than the "new ones". Might pick some of those up, but these "new ones" are horribly disproportionate...

Lucky you! I remember seeing the old old ones and being super excited. The sculpts for them that got cast (the old ones that are for sale) and being disappointed. The new ones aka wingless versions of the angels, look worse still. I wish they had cast the old old ones instead of the ones that they did.

See if you cant chat with Hortwerth a bit or something, I only got them because I kept pestering him/MAS and they agreed to sell em to me for about 2-3 USD per mini...

I see them as being a good stand-in for Servitors. Just give them some different arms.

I have some of the old ones, I pose them next to models when I'm doing WIP shots.

I dont mind these new thin servitors , they look like the ones on SOB exorcist.

I'm guessing those ones got C&D'ed, right?

The originals appear to still be available for sale on their website.

These:


... are not these:

I know those aren't the same. Those aren't the ones I was looking at. Check this page:

And then this page.

I know. I've had a look. The models in picture two are no where to be found (unless I'm missing something).

Real pity too, as I'm a big AdMech fan and while the current Iron Brotherhood models are certainly interesting, the ones in that second picture above would be something I'd kill for!

See my edit in my last post. They are showing up for me.

And at that link I see this:

Buh.. Wuh.. Damn. Excellent Skitarii for DH or RT purposes. Are those conversions using MAS bases or a glimpse of things to come?

It's from an early thread showing the original sculpts.

If anyone with more info can explain to us what happened to these because they are simply amazing.

H.B.M.C. wrote:And at that link I see this:

Wait, so these aren't the originals?

As far as I know, those are the originals. Could be that the ones H.B.M.C. linked were done in the past but MAS decided against them.

Those new ones are some of the fugliest miniatures I have ever seen.

From looking at the other stuff on their site I can see that those new ones are angels minus wings and the tracked version minus the heavier lower body.

These new ones seem to be more like technicians and engineers more than warriors or field operatives.
