The rock isn't attached to it. The top of the rock is shaped to hold the legs of the model, not the other way around.

From http://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?163625-Prime-Axiom-Unboxing-Pictures


The rock is the thing in the lower left, and the Y shape is to make room for the pin striping along the lower legs of the model.

Why the half-drills on the hands, though?

Looks like "1/3" drills to me, and my impression was they came together to form a whole drill when the "fists" are closed.

Referring to this pic:

Love the angel look on the unit and the warcaster. And like the look of the Prime Axiom as a unit but the center base it looks on looks so lame.

So getting rid of that base will be easy enough. And I'm thinking two big pins per joint and then pinning at least two legs through the base should mean you don't need any support there. Overpinning should handle the load.

It's supposed to be floating, though, isn't it? Those feet don 't look like they're touching the ground, and they certainly don't look like they were ever meant to do so. Not that pinning would be impossible, but you have to replace that central pile with some kind of flying stand. A short piece of clear acrylic would be my choice, but it's probably not as easy as just pinning the legs to take the weight.

New stuff!

Nice, thanks for posting these! Unfortunately, the unit looks like many of PP's do to me... lackluster :-/

They're mechanical grey knights. See they have wrist mounted storm bolters! PEW PEW! Seriously though, I can't really make out the details too well from the picture.

The optifex looks too bulky, but nice style.

So on Friday I played against someone running Aurora and maximum field allowance of the Clockwork Angels.

It was so beautiful. Easily the best looking miniature release of the year.

Her:


and a bunch of these:


They look so good on the tabletop.

Question, are those spanners on Aurora's thighs a separate bit or part of the body casting?

Separate.

The miniature actually looks good without them on as well. Maybe even better.

Ready to repel any threats to the Great Work, reciprocators stand firm, shields interlocking with engineered perfection as they brace to absorb enemy assaults. After blunting a charge against their heavy shields and spears, the reciprocators spring into an immediate counterassault, converting their protean polearms from defensive spears to wicked halberds.

I think they look really good, despite the thin legs . Lots of conversion potential for use in other games, too!

Accretion servitors are indispensable on the battlefield due to their versatile suite of semi-autonomous repair procedures. They carry a small array of mechanikal tools that enable them to provide temporary fixes to clockwork vessels and vectors in the heat of battle. These quick repairs can mean the difference between victory and defeat.

Not the biggest fan of the light infantry, but the heavy infantry is looking awesome.

Is it me, or do they all look to busy?

I like the heavies too. If only I liked those vectors. Gar!

The head dome thingys maybe. They actually look pretty clean to me compared to other infantry (no little axes/grenades/etc).

I thought the same thing til I got them in hand. Lemme tell you, once you assemble one and get it in hand (despite fiddly bits and a pain to magnetize), they are pretty.

The Colossal Vector should be called Colossal Rectum. Because, you know... Plenty seem to fit.

Yeah?

I wish they had a bit more art deco and a little less Star Wars Probe Droid, but I'll give em another look

I also wish those Angel models were plastic...ugh. Why not make them plastic!

Because its not efficient. With small models that don't share bodies with another entry and only three per unit, they lose out on the volume of sales that make plastic worth it.

Ribbit! Now I can finally start that Battletoads army I've been dreaming of

What an odd faction, so much I like and so much I just don't get. I still find myself wanting to paint them though!

Is 3 the Max Unit size?

Can you take more than 1 Unit?

I understand the answer, but I don't like it. If they'd use another plastic instead of restic they'd get rid of those problems as they could add other models to the mould.

God I wish they'd move to plastic like Wyrd did....

PVC(which is what PP uses) is plastic.

Personally, I'm glad they don't use the Wyrd style of plastic, I'm not a fan of their plastics.

Not this again

We'll have better terms one day, I just know it

I'm going to need you to elaborate.

Do you dislike the great detail? Or maybe the tiny amount of mould lines? Or maybe the extra options they're now including?

I have to know what you don't like about the Wyrd plastics, if only because I'm having trouble understanding why someone wouldnt like em.

I debate the great detail part. The detail on my Ten Thunders figures is soft. Also, the fits on some weren't the best when assembling and the instructions are very lacking in the "where to actually put everything" department.

They're not bad, but they're not as good as many people rave about. I personally don't like the ABS they use as a figure material, either.

Did I miss this?



Epic unit attachments? Whaaaaaaat?

Also this:

Missed one, Kan:



Also, they should probably be in the general WM releases thread.
