So it can feed your young!

What has been seen cannot be unseen! damn it, I really liked that model for about 10 minutes but now I'll never be able to take it seriously

Jesus these are expensive!

The price of the (rather lame) Razorwings is just amazing...

4 Beastmasters, 5 Kymera, 6 Razorwing flocks (what I'd call a proper beast unit) comes in at £124.50. Thats disgusting.
You can make an entire army for that!

I like them, nice characterful sculpts, really like the beastmaster the most.

The succubus suffers from man-face syndrome. She look exactly like Hugo Weaving as Elrond.




Also, I really like the Razorwings. However I think there is definitely a paintjob fail on them because they did a shoddy job of NMM on the primary feathers. It should be chrome-bright if they're going to do NMM to contrast with the dark color of the birds. And the red streak on the head is weird.

The best part is the razorwings can be used in all sorts of ways... I've been dying for birds to add to my WE for a while, so this is really cool. My one beef is the photo... Only 3 come in the blister pack. Adding that 4th on the end is a little deceptive, because my first response was, "huh, 4 for ~$12, thats not too bad." No, its 3 for ~$12 which is quite different. After realizing this, it is really bizarre how they have the 3 on the base, and that 4th one is just sort of like, "Hi, I'm floating here to make the flock look bigger and more dynamic". Hrm. Just bizarre.

Edit: fix typo

I like everything except for the Succubus. She looks too generic, one could probably bash together an equally convincing model from Warrior and Wych bits.

I love the Chymera models, but I would never use them for that price. Chaos Hounds are the way to go instead.

Nice, but too expensive.

What weapon has the Succubus got in her left hand?

Guess I'll still be converting my Succy after all. I really hope the DE get a plastic HQ kit like other armies have.

I think one of the birds is attached to another, making the miniature count 3, but the actual amount of birds, 4

I think the top two birds are made into the same piece by the looks of it, the wings are touching. If they aren't then i think the base will look a bit sparse with just the three.

Edit: aah Ninja'd!

I found a better picture:

Wow if it is 2 connected together by the wing tips like that, how long till that tiny plastic pin snaps? Eek.

I don't think you could. I mean, you could build one that kind of looks the same, but the armor, weapons, hair, tabard and face wouldn't be nearly as detailed. There's a lot of little, fine detail there that doesn't exist on the Wyche sprue. It's your call of course, but I personally like my commanders to look more detailed than my stock troops. I think this new model does that nicely.

Phototoxin wrote:Succubus would made a good Valkia for WoC!

Definitely! Thanks for pointing that out.

I like a lot the Succubus. The Beastmaster and the beasts are pretty good and would make their role. Despite the... birds. But the beasts are EXPENSIVE in capital letters. A expensive unit that won't probably be decisive in the tabletop.

Great models, but I am a little annoyed that they are metal. My list is based around units of beastmasters and khymerae (30 in my list) and I will never have the money for this many metal models

There good enough I suppose, although I don't field any beastmasters so price is a downer for people who do, but look on the bright side inquisitorial players, cyber eagle thing to make your inquisitor look a bit cooler? (and also a chooser of the slain for the SW players)

Succubus looks great, as do the beasts. GW has been killing it in the mini department at least imho

People will probably buy a Hellions box + some leftover agonizers from other plastic kits instead of buying a unit of x times this same metal sculpt.

The Clawed Fiend and the Razorwings look fine Imo, but the hound-things not so much.

I dislike the succubus and beastmaster.

I'd probably buy Razorwings and Clawed Fiends, but use something else as Khymerae. I don't have fifty pounds to burn on just them.

beastmaster is too chunky for an elf & the razor wings are just poo - I will be using bats painted a funny colour me thinks.

The rest are great!
Also it doesn't mention whether the bm's board is plastic or metal.

+ a little converting, green stuff and 40k bits.

I think the Succubus looks pretty good, and I'm not seeing the similarity to Hugo Weaving or transvestites. The amount of paraphernalia on her is no more OTT than other DE models. Although I also agree that it would be fairly straightforward to convert a Succubus from the Wych and Warrior parts (they are in fact almost as detailed as this model). I prefer her to Lilith, although she's less dynamic.

The Beastmaster looks like a bit of a throwaway. I suspect a trainee sculptor did him, as many of the details are rather ham-fisted (such as the stomach muscles). Again, I think it would be easy to convert Beastmasters from Hellions and Wyches.

The beasts are well done - especially the Khymera - and they have something about them which is reminiscent of the original RT rulebook's nasty fauna (Ptera-Squirrels etc). The Razorwings are bad designs, however, as they look neither alien nor scary (the Razorwing does actually date back to the RT rulebook, and looked much like these models). Nice sculpts though.

Pretty cool models, but this may end up being the most expensive ($$$$) stock model unit in 40K.

Wracks! were are my wracks!? I love the beastmaster model though, and was stunned at the succubus. Great sculpts.

Finally another DE update, even if it is metal. But whats with all the complaints, has everyone become THAT spoiled, whenever there is a long period of no updates, everyone whines for new models, but when new models are released everybody jumps on the "I hate it bandwagon"

TBH I'd use them as is - terror no?

But that's great, because it means I can buy a whole bunch and add them to my Raven Guard Army!

At 20 Cad $s a base you sure about that?
(Also as I don't know how to reset my proxie or whatever what does GW want in your dollars on your site? It's 13 GBP for a Flock here.

Awesome sculpts, obscene prices.

Because it's cool to hate. In all seriousness I have noticed this as well, but then I don't really care for other people's opinions about models. As long as I think they're cool thats all that matter to me.

They'll work. Thanks!
