You mean the one that isn't scheduled for release until October?

Not sure why people are having issues with these figures. If you dont like em dont buy em. They look cool to me and if this helps keep GW in business than thats a good thing. I dont game anymore but I have been part of the GW since the mid 80's, since rouge trade , thud the barbarian etc. and want GW to be around for a long time.

I'd go for some Orks, and IG. That would be cool to see a Leman Russ or Battlewagon in 1/18th.

At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money.

Oh, yeah, got some Orks and Eldar up in this, then we can make a 1/18 scale skirmish game to go with, maybe dust off the open-filed variant of the Calth rules I was thinking about…

Bleh. As hard as it is to get Cobra Troopers just off Hasbro's site, these guys will be impossible to get off GW site, made to order or not.

But that figure's clearly based on Obsidius Mallex...

Have any of these Joy Toy models been pre-ordered or delivered since announcement?

I think I remember seeing the Incursor/Infiltrator units on pre-order. Have any delivered?

I really want the BA Death Company Intercessors

There's vids on YouTube and photos on Twitter, so at least some people have them (but they might be review copies).

Normally, I'm not much for chaos, but those look cool.

If they ever do Eldar or Tau figures, my wallet is sunk.

I can't help but feel that W40K is moving to 1/8 scale and 25mm is the new Epic.

I want a 1/8 scale Thunderhawk that will barely fit into a two car garage. Make it happen JoyToy!

Death Company Intercessors, Ultramarine Intercessors, and the Librarian have been up for pre-order at BigBadToyStore for about a week now.

Those Space Wolves look a bit bland for Space Wolves.

Their hair is sensible, they aren't festooned with fetishes and other pseudo Viking paraphernalia... poor job on them.

Chaos lads look spot on, spikes & skulls galore!

The objective of the game is to win. The point of the game is to have fun. The two should never be confused.

Makes it easier to keep reusing the same molds though, don't it?

Yea, but they are more expensive there too. The GW website had the first wave of models but I don't know if anyone's gotten any from GW shipped yet. I hope GW puts up pre-orders for wave 2 (the ones on bigbadtoys + suit) and wave 3 which is the SW and Chaos.

The Chaos ones don't look half bad. The Primaris stuff still leaves a lot to be desired.

It just means they are 2nd/3rd Edition Space Wolves, not the 5th edition and on flanderized ones

While being Primaris Marines?

Also 2nd edition Space Wolves were still bedecked in far more gubbins than these chaps.

Do people actually want to buy these? I could see myself buying a larger scale marine to paint if it had more detail and more realistic proportions (gun scale etc) but these are just upscaled miniatures with basically no extra detail added. So what's the point?

I mean this might seem like a silly thing to say on a toy soldier forum, but action figures are toys for kids, right?

I know there was always a call for rules to use GIJoes and transformers, there is crossover, but just not as much as one would assume.

No, not really. Cheap generic/budget stuff? Maybe.. But proper quality brands with full pose-ability/articulation and all that aren't really the sort of thing you'd get to play with like a toy, more so pose for display. Brands like Sideshow for example are very very high quality, large scale action figures that cost £200+, they're more collectable figures than "toys".

I haven't received them yet, but I have a number of Firguarts and Revoltech stuff which are this same quality overall probably. These really aren't toys either. Just poseable collectables. When I was younger I would have killed for some mass produced GI Joe style 40k Space Marines. Now that I'm older I'll settle for these. I may even pew pew some when no ones looking. But We all have our own tastes and interests. They aren't going to appeal to everyone, but those of us that also collect the above mentioned brands are absolutely ecstatic over these. I just wish GW would give us more information on when they will be available to order off their site and if they'll occasionaly have them back in stock. 25% - 50% markup on 3rd party sites is going to be expensive and would force me to only collect the few I truly have interest in and not just want because they're cool. Chaos Terminators for example are the only ones I truly want so far but I ordered wave 1 and waiting to order wave 2 if GW posts them.
