Hey guys,

like almost everyone we hastily devoured the first official pictures of Games Workshop's Dwarf release. Today, the first leaked pictures of the Dwarf Gyrocopter trickled down the Internetz.

And while some discussion on whether one likes or dislikes the new designs will certainly go on (I love the new slayer for example, don't care for the egg-plane-copter), we found something a little more disconcerting in these pictures: possible quality issues.

As always, we will give you all the core information here, but our famously long wall of text of our popular mini-series about "The Future of Games Days and Games Workshop" won't be posted here as formatting the content for and answering comments on multiple forums is just too much work with thousands of views and hundreds of comments and PMs

So here's the gist, physicist:

First of all, this is not the end of the world. Some of us won't care, others will now how to deal with this (aka sandpaper).

In the picture below you see three sections taken from screenshots of official GW pictures. In the middle you see a section of an Ironbreaker that is available on their website now and left and right you see segments of the leaked images of the Dwarf Gyrocopter thingie. You know where to find the full images, I did not want to show them, fearing the wrath of the Legal Inquisition.



The pictures show what seems to be fingerprints. In fact these are not fingerprints but so-called "stepping lines" caused by not cleaning up the digital designs prior to production of the injection mould. Did this slip through multiple nets of GW's Quality Control or is that a new, acceptable standard for the best plastic miniatures in the world?

If you would like to read the whole episode (part 12) or join our discussion on the subject, you can find it here.
Be warned, it might be a little more satirical that some may care for and this time we really eggsaggurate. The title of the article is: "Bugman or Feature? How Eggs & Fapping Could Save GW".

I warned you thusly
SHARE & ENJOY!

Or, someone touched the model when the paint was still wet

After having a look at the bare plastic sprues for the Long beards on the GW site, I could not see any rippling.

So, possible quality concerns.

Or the painted versions are in face pre production 3D prints to give the studio more time to paint them up in advance?

Either way, smells of clickbait.

My first thought was fingers on wet paint.

It's and affliction that far too many of my models seem to be suffering from lately.

We already have a thread discussing this release, thanks!
