You won't be confined to the vader welding mask.

Unless it's 14 Vader welding masks variants

There are 3 head variants that allow you to outfit all figures in the same head - and then there are a few unique heads to make a leader, a bare-headed warrior, etc. We have a "fun" one on there too that I think people will get a kick out of.

I assembled one figure with the squad-leader head, a left arm pointing (i.e. directing fire), and the right arm casually holding the huge grenade launcher. He looks pretty good sitting here on my desk. Hope you guys are as jazzed about them as we are!

Let us know what else you want to see if you like these too!

I would have been excited about this 14 months ago when the new IG book was on the horizon.

Keep in mind that while they may not be the most amazing of amazing sculpts, you're looking at like 3 with lots of options for like $3 or $4.

Is it just me or does that only show a corner of the sprue?

Can we get the whole thing?

Do the "laser rifles" look anything like lasguns?

Think of them as 4 years early for the next IG book!

That is quite early! Impressive indeed!

I'm very impressed by the price per model, an absolute godsend for IG players.

Any chance of brutish musclebound aliens?

They've been released!

Pity there is still no sprue picture.

Sure I will order tons of these just based on the great detailed sprue pics.

Here you go!

Loving the whiskey bottle!

I feel dirty all of the sudden. I have already contacted my LGS and order 3 total boxes. They are going direct thru WF so I can get my new toys faster.

First sprue pic with a spoiler tag

Still not there I'm afraid... big disapointment on the helmets... all googly eyed.

A matter of taste, I guess. I like the "Darth Vader" style head.

I'm guessing the bit of fun is a female head.

I'm betting on Bozo the clown since I see no breasticles

Nice, thanks for posting the complete sprue pics. I like the other weapons a lot more. It really looks like a good set, overall.

These turned out quite good. Still not entirely sold on the bottom of the jackets... it just doesn't seem to drape quite right. But they'll probably look fine painted and massed up on the table.


The range of options is nice.

Well, these will have to do, since it's doubtful any other company's going to be catering to that exact design spec. I'm not a fan of the special weapons, the reverse handle looks off to me.

Is the bit of fun head some dude who's just been headshotted?
Like so, http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/4134KdPeY6L._SL500_AA280_.jpg

If you're curious, the new Beasts of War video preview shows off the sprues and assembled models, including the bit of fun head.

Huh, never thought it would be something like that. What a.. lame thing.

Just sent off a pre-order request to my FLGS. They go through a distributor, so I'll probably have to wait til sometime in May, but it's worth it. I've got more than enough IG lasguns to arm 40 or so of these guys.

My conundrum is the heads. I don't dislike their designs, but none of the 3 main varieties really grab me. I'll probably go with PigIron heads, the only question is which ones....

I still see them listed as a May release and this is just another pre-order opportunity.
Am I misreading?

I especially love the "Vaderless" Gas-Mask helmets. With a bit of really simply Greenstuff work, this would make a very cheap and very quick AdMech Skitarii.

Well I guess that somebody will want them for renegade guard but I find myself quite disliking all the heads other than the Stahlhelm equipped ones and the pistol looks like something out of Star Trek.

Eventually I will get some sprues to have additional great coats in my IG. Now we´ll have to see if these models prove popular enough that the HQ/HW kits come to be.

M.

So I was rather excited for these, but the end product is just disapointing. Wargames Factory needs to concentrate on finishing their lines they have now and not extending new ones. So many company do this and their products flop because of it.

I still have reservations about the flamer and grenade launcher but the rest of the stuff on the sprues look okay.

I like em, mostly... but the coats kind of look like dresses. Maybe it's just the pictures. I'd like to see some of these Killzone... er... Greatcoat models painted up
