Awesome, new tyranids, I mean heavy warbeasts

Actually allows for PP's prices it would be cheaper and possibly better to make up the skull trees from GW woods sets and PP scale bases.
PP is now more expensive than GW per model, at least over here, yet noone complains.

Anyone else notice the Carnevian based beasties are simply the metal models in the pics? Unless the plastics are direct copies of the original sculpts, right down to the posing.

Because what is needed for a good solid playable game is far less and individual models have more impact on the game as a whole. so you feel as if you're getting more value out of what you are buying for the game. That's why. [/dead horse]

I had the same thought. It shouldn't be too hard to bend the model forward 5-10 degrees to get a better looking appearance. Or mount her on a flying base to make it look like she's jumping.

They're nothing like Tyranids, other than the fact that they've got big teeth and scales. I suppose GW should sue Jurrasic Park.

Not here, not even close.

OMF TENTACLE FACE DRAGONSPAWN <3

Sorry about that, but PP just slapped together two of my favorite aesthetics Loving that carnivean and offshots are plastic at last, and that I've held off getting any of them when they were metal

- Salvage

I dig the knifey chicks. The one on the right will be cool mounted at a 20 degree angle or so and coming from out of cover to mangle something.

The trees are... ok. I kind of wish they were a little more subtle. If I can take like 10 of them like it is said, I would like them to not be so crazy ornamented and be more like... trees.

I also like tentacle face! Would make for a cool greater demon or elder monstrosity for non-PP purposes too.

Don't you mean skulls race?

How wide are GW trees? I could possibly use them for some objective
markers or something, but if they're larger than 40mm at the base then
they'd be the wrong size (measurements are done from the base
edge in warmachine)

Upon reflection, even without skill, you can lean it forward a great deal and improve it quite a bit. Alternately base it to have some largeish rocks, and pin her to be jumping off one.

Those Eliminators are beautiful sculpts... I think it's the same sculptor that did the recent Cygnar Warcaster: Constance Blaze.

I like that tree thing. May have to get that for a terrain piece.

The chicks are good as well, still have zero desire to play Warmahordes though.

Gotta love the upcoming plastic Carnivean kit after I've built and painted the metal monstrosity. These kits should be much easier to fix.

Cheaper, too.

I don't like that the right one is up on one foot. They look great other than that.

I can't wait to buy three of the plastic Carnivean kits and magnetize them so I have access to 3x Scythean/Carnivean/Ravagores and the Proteus.

There is supposedly a plastic warbeast kit coming for trolls eventually... not sure what I think of it.

The metal ones are a pain, but once they're together, they're awesome! And each can be much more unique than a uni-kit would allow...

However, for cost it's a no-contest... but including all those extra arms can't make it That much cheaper, right? Probably wrong, but still... I'm attached to the metal especially considering how brittle and non-posable PP's plastic/resinish mix is.

The plastic warbeasts allmost look better then the metal ones. its completely opposite of the warmachine ones. these look like models, not the actionfigure-ish jacks they spit out earlier...

They're metal, right? Bend the foot to lean her forward just slightly as well.

Given GW's history of ripping off IP, how you say that with a straight face is beyond me.

Let's not turn this into a vs. thread, please.

Other then both being "large monsters" they have very little in common. The GW carnifex gives off the "insectoid" vibe typical of tyranids, and the LOE beasts are not insectoid at all and are clearly "draconic".

Does anyone have a release date for the Kayazy Eliminators?

Trees are FA:4 IIRC.

February, again, IIRC.

Putting aside the obvious 'you need less of them' argument, prices aren't the only reason people hate GW.

Nagashek wrote:Kirby's response:

"Oooh! Dividends! NOM NOM NOM NOM!"

Fixed.

I honestly don't see the Tyranids thing though (maybe a little with the Scythean).

I have the Carni in metal and I have magnetised it to be also a Ravagore and Scythean. It was a tough job and I had to use load bearing pins.
I look forward to having the plastic kit. Should be easier to work with.

Oh and please for the love of Scyrah I wants them Vyre jacks!

Seriously, this GW hate is getting silly. PP is even more expensive than GW when you consider price per model, and yet you keep whining about GW prices. The irony is massive.

Pile of new gak?

I find this thread to be aptly named.

Actually, the GW irony weighs significantly less now ever since they changed their cumbersome metal models to Finecast, which now needs a special tube of liquid green stuff to fix.

Only if you lack the comprehension of 'faulty product - return product'.

Liquid green stuff has far more use than filling air bubbles.
