So some guy named Wakelin posted this to twitter. I don't think he'll mind us yoinking it, I mean he probably never even heard of Dakka.

If anyone has better pics feel free. IMHO this looks promising but I'd need to know prices and have a better pic first.

That's the 'satan' analogue?

Or is this a differnt big gribbly?

It's hard to tell from here if that's the base that was shown in the previous thread by MadNes, but it doesn't really look like it... no sign of the 'tortured souls' as far as I can make out of the blur.

Not really a good enough pic to tell, but looks blurrily ok.

The model on the left in the back is Lucifer. The one holding his sword to the ground, with the burnt wings.

I do like the angels in the foreground but will need a better pic.

Yikes! That is one big critter!

What is the quality and pricing like of this company, comparable to GW?

I noted the pic of the "big" base - looked okay.

Padre^.

That is indeed the big base we've seen I'm pretty sure. You can see a rough triangle of red/black with the point ending at a white/blue colored thing where the dead angle was.

The scythe seems a little over long, but otherwise it looks like it would make a cool Nurgle Daemon.

Here's a pict they have posted on their wiki, showing much more details.



There's also a lot of pictures up on their forum from GenCon.


NB: Using a temporary account in case it's not ok to hotlink their stuff =)

Ok, that's more Tzeenchy than Nurgley I guess. REALLY odd face, I'm not sure if I like it, but I don't think I dislike it.

I love the scale comparison shot! Can't say I'm much for the model. To be quite honest, I think the vacuformed base shot released ahead of time may have given me a predisposition for not liking this model. Maybe it just tries to do too much, but I particularly don't like the face either.

It this model had an actual face, rather than... several... it would work, but because it hasn't, it doesn't.

Nice size though.

Don't understand what the face is supposed to be/do. But the body is A+.

Nurgle, or maybe replace the head with an eyeball for Tz.

I love it!!! It looks like one of those eye-twisting sort of things that you see in a video game and just assume that there's no way an actual model could be made of it. Even seeing the picture of it has me looking around it for elements that I can't quite name that are missing and are conspicuous by their absence even though I don't know exactly what I'm looking for.

Needs an alternate head/face. What's with the horns coming out the eyes?

Well, it's really all about what it actually is. If this were a model of some sort, I'd be pretty underwhelmed. As a toy that you can pick up at Kay-Bee, sure ok. I can almost feel the vinyl squeezing in my hands, like some kind of dogtoy.

And that is the thing. I actually like some of the design cues on it. But once again, execution has executed this model for me.

Not really a fan.

It suffers from trying to do too much weird in too many different ways and ends up not doing any of them very well. If this was just a giant monster with a reaper that would be cool. If this was just a giant with a soul prison in its chest I'd think it was awesome. If it was just some weird freaky thing with horns growing out of its eyes I'd think it was something truly nightmarish (though I don't like the way the pink-head's neck just kind of goes down and gets cut off while the real neck goes backwards. It looks kinda like they tried to that pink neck into the top of a mouth, which would look really cool if the bottom of the mouth wasn't just a hole.) I'll give kudos on the hooves and carapace though.

I kind of feel like Ex Illis should be congratulated for doing something different. I mean, everybody and their brother has a miniature for some giant, hulking horned winged demon a la the Bloodthirster. So it's nice to see them come along with a new idea. I don't think their new idea works particularly well... it's just too many unrelated weird things tacked onto a very conventional demon body (boy, isn't that an odd thing to say!) with very little blending of the strange concepts together. For a starting company I could forgive the faults of this model and if it's priced right (and if we don't get 6 pages of various Ex Illis employees and fans trying to tell us we are wrong for not loving this model), but I hope in the next attempt at a big beasty the sculptor spends a bit more time trying to build a coherent sense of weirdness, rather than weird bits and bobs in isolation.

I think the head is really where it falls apart. As conversion fodder I can see this easily working with a dremel and a new head though. Whats the projected price?

I personaly like what they did with the demon, making it truly demonic, eerie, and disturbing.

Yeah, the head DOES just tacked on there, doesn't it? Good call, I couldnt place that one into words.

Hmm im not a huge fan.. but since its a one eyed deamon, you could always paint it red and call it Magnus .

It's not the horns growing out of the eyes, or the weird face on random obtrusions that bother me. It actually looks like it could have come out of Bayonetta and follows a similar design philosophy. What's getting me is the ear sitting on it's clavicle. For some reason, that is really bothering the hell out of me.

I wonder if that paint job is representative of the mass-produced "for sale" version?

As a conversion piece, I'd say it definitely has potential. I've bought cheaper and lower quality plastic (if that is indeed representative of quality) for that purpose (ork trucks and tanks, mostly).

Found out there are more better quality pics over on Beasts of War

Check out the ex-illis wiki for Baal-Zebub - that's him I reckon!

No sir, I didn't like it.

It's so... plastic-y...

Oh it seems what i thought is an eye actually are the lips... of a face with horns where the eyes should be.
Way to weird for me this deamon thing.

EDIT: Does anybody have a picture of these Angel guys next to a Space Marine? I think these wings might be good for conversions.

Well, seeing it in that red paint job actually made it look quite a bit better. Not digging the angels at all, rfemind me of the plastic toys you can get out of A.C. Moore for a buck.

Not diggin the throat-mouth, either. But actually, I LIKE the clavicle ear.

I like the fact that this seems to be a kit you can build (or Modify) and thus you have a choice how he looks. I may not be a Ex Illis player, but that looks like a good Evil Big Meanie for a RPG or .. other game...

I wasn't much of a fan until I saw the red one. I think with a little bit of green stuff and kitbashing it'll look *amazing*.

Some nice parts and some not so good, all I can say its good to see big kits from other companies.
