The sooner, the better.

Recent releases have been pretty dull for me. Finally something I may be interested in comes along.

You're being ridiculous. BolS is going to tell you Slaanesh is getting squatted even two weeks after GW confirms as Slaanesh release.

Cool. TBH I wouldn't have objected strongly to them rethinking Fiends a bit as they've always seemed a bit ill-fitting design wise, but they seem very reasonable implementations if you're going to stick with the general concept.

DARN they've improved the legs massively over the original!

I like how from the front it looks like a human with claws and an anteater head, but spin to the side and it is suddenly scorpionish. Well done

Exactly my thoughts - it's a really nice creepy thing

Sort of a necrobump: Does anybody have a scale shot of Throgg next to some regular Slaves to Darkness or the ever helpful fleeing peasant? 45€ is a huge chunk of money, but the model was always tempting.

The best internet can come with. I love Throgg, but it never justified his own price for me. Of course, now, compared with 30€single pose Primaris Marines HQ it looks much more reasonable.

Can we also just talk about the fact that the Incomplete Sprues from the picture, they went for £110 on that eBay post..
That’s ridiculous

It's quite possible the 'winner' won't pay,

It's quite possible the winner is GW looking to track down a leak (and if so it's a fairly small price to pay)

but yes if it was a real punter that's crazy money for something that will probably be out before the end of the year

Yeah maybe.
Though they wouldn’t need to track him down paying for it.
Thomas from Birmingham, and his full address (though I won’t post it).

He has covered himself by saying the sprue came in a ‘job lot’ he received, but still they would want to start tracing backwards (though he could just say no, they can’t force him to reveal who he ‘bought’ from)

I thought it got taken down? I did message the guy selling it and he was a bit creeped out that the it was selling for that much (I think basically thinking it was a joke bid war and that he was going to have to eat the issues with ebay over a non-payer or such).

Either way I'm fairly sure GW could find out what happened fairly easily with a message to the seller. Chances are it was just as described; a job lot of stuff that was dumped that happened ot have something in it it shouldn't have.

But point being as you say, crazy money.
14 bids too, so even if one is GW. There are other crazies there.
Most likely this year out yeah, and a complete sprue then rather than just bits

Some people are morons.

You see stuff from Forgeworld events, that will definitely be on general release within a couple of months, going for silly money on ebay all the time. Being willing to pay waaay over the odds just to get something earlier than everyone else is bizarre to me.

Paying a huge amount for incomplete sprues does take it to a new level.

To be honest though I don’t believe that. It wouldn’t just randomly be in there (though possible I agree). But I’d say the same thing if I was selling something I shouldn’t, it’s deniability.
He’s got the perfect cover for it

Heck I've seen people pay more (in bidding not including postage fees) for stuff than it is sold at for retail! Bidding wars are a real thing and many forget to double check a price when bidding.

And yeah some people will pay silly money for exclusive stuff even if its only exclusive for a few moments. I could see a review site pay more for something as they can at least then market it head of their competition (though if doing so put their contracts and agreements at risk they might well avoid it like the plague).


As for the excuse I can see it as justifiable. I'd wager a lot of GW stuff and such do end up with a lot of spare and waste sprue; if it makes it into the hands of sites that sell parts that's more sensible than it being thrown away or just stored. I recall a local GW manager telling me that the second floor of the store was mostly just full of old spare parts from kits - returned kits with defects, end of promotional runs and all other kinds of stuff that he wasn't allowed to shift or get rid of at the time. If GW has moved on it could be that they are bulk selling some of that to 3rd parties for a small cost

It's sad that my photo of my unfinished Throgg is the only size shot available!

I'll try and take a photo of him since he's been finished for some time with some chaos warriors this afternoon.

I'm a big fan of the model, but I got him reasonably priced due to a seller spelling his name wrong.

There are even Buy It Now listings for current product priced significantly above retail (plus shipping) on eBay - I saw a Start Collecting box for 85 GBP yesterday from a UK business seller - and you have to assume people buy them or such listings wouldn't be there.

Then a thank you for the (promisded) pics.

Looks like it IS loveably massive chunk of material, but 45€ is about two thirds of an imported Rogue Trader/likely Speed Freaks! Sigh. I haven't even bought the Harbinger or Snikrot models for years thanks to the crazy MO/regular GW pricing.

Throgg and a few chaos dudes and a lady.

I still remember when that model was previewed and someone on dakka responded with "The cape is a sign, a symbol. Throgg is the hero Troll County needs." It was right as the second Nolan batman was coming out.

I've got my Throgg coming.

Interesting

we can confirm that Blood & Glory this year will play host to another exciting Studio Preview – replete with exclusive reveals of just what’s to come for Warhammer in the next few months.

Remember Nurgle’s Carnival? Here's a followup:

Man, I just can't see such kind of creative insanity work well (or even fit) in WH Fantasy...

This is brilliant!

Amazing work.

That is an amazing army right there. Absolutely inspired, and one of the best examples going of a crazy theme that someone just 100% commits to and sees it through.

I dunno about that, looks a lot like they just floated out of Marienburg to me.

Ya, I agree. If they had done an Undead version of the "Blood on the Reik" artbook, that stuff would've fit just fine.
