Not quite sure where you saw "surprise" and/or "shock" in my post...

woa a space marine with long hair i must buy!!!!

I am more interested in the retinue than the guy, to be honest. Although I could see myself getting the guy for the parts. Head, body, sword and shield.

That, and I bet that sword is Strength 5.

It's preobably a Nemesis Force Weapon, so probably at least S6 (assuming base S4).

any idea on a release date for this beautiful model? i might save up some $$ and get me a new =][=

Wonderful, simmply wonderful.....this is a must for me.

Inquisitors are base S3.

50£?

My personal guess is £35, actually, or 10 pounds more than the DK Quartermaster, who likewise comes with a three-man retinue. Unless those three guys are GK Terminators, in which case it's anyone's guess.

Good point, and good guess Ag2!

A few of the GW sculptors need to talk to whoever sculpted this and get some lessons in dynamic posing because this model is sweet.

Can anyone post the full text from the newsletter? I didn't get this one emailed to me. Do they mention any other models?

Nothing else was mentioned. It was just a newsflash, not an actual newsletter. The text seems to indicate a newsletter is due next week, tho

With this newsflash comes our last teaser picture of a forthcoming model for the New Year, which you can combine with the previous two to get a full picture of this impressive model. I can end the speculation and reveal it to be Inquisitor Lord Hector Rex, a powerful agent of the Holy Ordos who will feature prominently in our next Imperial Armour book. Although just to tease you further, the model will also be supplied with a set of three new retinue members! But that will have to wait until our next newsletter in the coming week.

This is one of the first minis I've ever seen that I'd actually buy to just build, paint and put on the shelf to look at, with no conversion or modifications. Wow.

I have seen and looked at this picture a few times now. I like the pose and detail of the inquisitor, and look forward to his retinue. I can imagine a FW Bloodthirster off to the right of the picture and the inquisitor screaming "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" The Grey Knight redeemer is on my FW to-buy list. If FW came out with an entire Daemon Hunter line including Grey Knights, it would bankrupt me :(

He's wearing a fashionable half-trenchcoat. All he needs is a fedora and nerds everywhere will rejoice.

He needs a Bowler, Fedora's are so last millenium..

but sorry all, Kyoto nailed it. sharp kid.

it is still a squat, no matter what anyone says. the pictures lie

im failing arnt i?

Forge world needs to get a better camera. There's a ton of visible image artifacting there.

His retinue is suitably 40k as well. This is a great release.

You've always got to find something to complain about, don't'cha Shummy?

(/irony)

BYE

The retinue is a real letdown for me.

GW's main line retinue figures are way better than these!

NOW I am surprised and a little shocked...

This model looks incredible, I might have to buy him just to paint him and have around as a show peice...of course I'm sure like all FW stuff its not going to be kind to my wallet. >_<

The retinue is perfect, they look nice and individual enough, but don't steal the thunder from their master.

I'd buy it for the lord, the retinue would quickly find their way to someone else.

Amazing model though, amazing...

The Retinue isn't terrible, but the metal WH Crusaders are aces and would really complement this guy.

FW's new stuff page lists it as £27.40.

Well no, the thing is they had a better one. I noticed it with the plagye ogryns a bit back.



There is an immense amount of non monochromatic film grain. It's usually due to anti shaky hands crap they put in digicams these days, but sometimes it just arises due to a bad camera in general. I think what most people were hating about the ogryn models wasn't the paintjob or the models themselves, but the poor photo quality which made discerning the details impossible.



By comparison this small color pic was fairly well shot, but even here you can see the grain (take a look at the interior cape). You didn't really see the photographic issues before the ogryns.


These really are almost as bad as the ogryn were.

an ordo maleus term with storm sheild and power weapon maybe it adptas cusodeus character
