I'll wait for Mantic's Enforcer Peacekeepers, you can't beat a 5 for $10 hard plastic kit that includes multiple options.

Considering that the only difference between a Ripper and a Destroyer is an arm and head swap, I don't think it'll even take that long to get them out. I was kind of hoping the parts for both would be included in that set though.

Actually, the rifle arms for striker models are no more than an arm swap either, yet they've kept us waiting on those for almost 2 months now.

Has anyone gotten the new ripper suits? I'd love to see how well they turned out.

It isn't new product, but this is actually a pretty nice shot showing a size comparison of their various models.

That is awesome.

I just got my shipment. I got them within a week after ordering, 2nd day after they emailed me that they were shipped (mainland Europe). There are only tiny casting defects that you won't notice unless you specifically go look for them, no bubbles to speak of, and hardly if any flash. The shipping method itself seems to me to be a bit risky (bubble envelop, no small box), but they aren't damaged at all so I guess they are correct in assuming that's safe enough.
Pics or it didn't happen:




Let me know if you want better/different pictures and I'll make some.
Edit: Not sure why it's posting the pictures on the side. They weren't sideways when I uploaded them, and they refuse to be changed back.

Just wish they didn't have that armored tabard, and I'd love these...

They are mostly "loose" from the legs, so if you really wanted to you could shorten them yourself to be only 2 thingies long iso 4.. Wouldn't recommend it without a dremel or something similar though.

Nice figs... One question... How big are those bases? They look like 25mm, but the Rippers look like they should stand on 40mm's.

Valete,

The bases are 25mm. They werent meant for the rippers, but since I ordered them at the same time from Puppet's War I figured I might aswell post them at the same time.

Ah... That makes more sense... Tks.

Valete,

Cleaned up and magnetized. The precut holes make magnetising a breeze. Some small bubbles popped up in the shoulders when clearing the casting rods, but nothing you haven't seen countless times before on any resin, easily fixed if you dont plan on using shoulder pads. If you like the asthetics I would recommend the kit any time.

Ah excellent. Seems PW are picking up their game then, thanks for the review Isnigu!

My pleasure.
Something I only just noticed: those holes on top or their gorget look like part of the armor itself. However, they would also hold a magnet with a little figetting so you can give them a cyclone missile rack or banner. No clue if that's intentional or not, but a nice side benefit.

Nice to see PW upping their game again, as their sculpts are awesome.

I'd be curious to see them next to terminators, or even centurions.

I really like the design of those. Do they come with the proper options to make devastator versions of the GW equivalent? If not, would such bits be in the pipeline?

I already see the Rippers being an alternate to the Centurions GW sell

Awesome guys non the less

I agree, just wondering if the manufacturer was working on or had already produced and heavy weapon options for them.

Most likely observing the opportunity, they probably will

Don't have any centurions, since I hate the models. I'm actually waiting for the destroyers from PW to come out to use those instead.

The bits I posted are all they come with. They are releasing destroyers in the (near) future, which come with alternative arms, and a "head" swap. I have no clue how big centurions are in comparison to terminators, so can't say if they would make a good fit sizewise.

That would make them firmly too small for centurions.

Some really nice sculpts, think the less armoured guys in the first post are probably my favourite. Can see those being useful for tons of different games.

And if PW can make another miniature of that quality Centurion-sized, they will be rolling in it..

These are great, I can see use for them as "boarding Termies" with a proper kitbash. I hope they decide to make a bigger version also.

Edit: It looks like the Destroyer suit is aimed to be a tooled up version but appears to use the same body. Maybe they'll bulk it up even more before release?

Thanks for all the pics guys... really helps me sort them out.

I think I'd like to see the PW Ripper Suit with a GW Termie head. I like the idea of this as a boarding suit. I could totally see this thing lumbering down the corridors of a hulk with some regular Termies coming up behind one of these guys.

With the seeming improvement in casting + the awesome new products I may have to place an order soon.

Thank you Isnigu for all the pictures and review! Looks like I might need to get some of these.

Supposedly being released this week.

Nice and chunky armor vehicle!
