Unless you are playing industrial, space-station or urban boards.... not to mention alien environments, crystals, lava and others... Then there are those who just model and like a purty base for our one-offs.

Sand and static grass work nicely in most cases though you are right.

I actually theme my bases to the army, so any cool bases I'm always ready to consider.

I do have to say the larger blades are growing on me a bit more, but I'm gonna wait to see what the 2nd wave will look like. I need to find the old concept art from gw that showed some ideas for boneswords, one of which looked similar to these but had a sweeping cresent blade.

That's a total side note tho... Hope that second wave comes soon!

I like to do that as well, with elite armies like Eldar and Chaos Dwarfs. But with a 200+ body count Tyranid army, this will become very expensive.

Let me clarify my comments. I don't mind the flesh on the blades. I mind the flesh on the cutting edge of the blades. That part of the bit is counterintuitive but the rest of it looks good.

All up to Nick and time, if I can get my hand on them I can easily fix the flesh-over-sharp-edge problem.

Don’t put too much time into doing bases there are too many company’s at it already. Stick to the pads and conversion parts that you’re so good at

I'll buy these, and a few other things you guys sell in bucketloads!

Hence why my nids are on a desert world.

And mine come from a model railroad gravel planet

Are those arms/blades to be metal or plastic when finished?

I am leaning towards white metal, the cost is lower for me, and that means for you as well.

The whips would bend with metal, not in resin.

Yes, but WHEN?!? I think it's too late for Adepticon (2 weeks from today), but it they were available in the next 14 days or so, they'd be in time for the SoCal Slaughter in Space....

wow, thats bio weapons are wonderfully detailed! good job. The lash whip kinda reminds me of the alien xenomorph's tail...

Navarro sculpted the Spinal whips to be able to be used for converting the xenomorph tails if one wanted to do that.

Yeah I am saddened by missing adepticons deadline. But I dont think there was much to do about that.

Nick

These will be in resin (the first run at least) and will be available for preorder next week. Keep an eye out, these will sell fast and most likely sell out (like our resin Xenomorph heads, backordered).

Nick

Those look fantastic!

I am still eagerly awaiting another sculpt of the bone swords.

I love these! Very cool, unique take on the bonesword idea.

Any ETA on these bad boys yet? I can't wait to purchase some! and the Lash Whips too!

Just spoke with our caster. Molds have been made, expect the first shipment out late this week.

Pre-orders will be taken for the first allotment Weds or Thursday of this week.

I will say that the cost per pair of arms/blades will be no more then $3.50-4.00 (compare that to maxmini $2.74 for just bio-swords (no arms included))for monstrous creature size and $2.50-3.00 for the warrior size pairs of arms.

That is my best guestimate and will have a firm price as soon as the caster sends me the info in a day or two.

Orders will be taken at the end of this week to ship out next week. If the xeno heads are any indication of demand these will be selling out as fast as they are made!

Nick

Any chance some unpainted/painted pictures are made of the final versions? Preferably some mounted on models to show off the scale?

Also, any time indication on the Tervigon and Mycetic Spore kits, or at least some pictures of them?

As soon as I get the first cast in, Ill take some shots for size comparison. (I was excited to get them molded so forgot when I have the greens in hand :( )

Tervigon and Mycetic Spore are worked on, Navarro said the spore has the main shape done.

My tervigon sculptor is doing a great job, the conversion kit will be true to the illustration in the book, and will make your carnifex kit look great!

Nick

That's good to hear about the Tervigon kit, though I'm guessing that's quite a bit down the line.

I'm just looking forward to these swords and lashwhips for now.

Not as far as you think

Pics of any of these W.I.P.?

Well, with "main shape done" Navarro means that he has made a big green stuff egg of the approximate size



Who can blame him for having fun with private bug projects after 2 years or so of commission work.
In the pic you see his newest termagants with fleshborer on its back and ripper bodies as heads.

Nice!

Do you have any Previews of the Tervigon kit too, Kroothawk?

Sorry, no. Navarro posted these over at Warpshadow. I don't even know who works on Chapterhouse's Tervigon.

I am hesitant to post pictures of any WIP until they are near completion, lately a lot of competition has popped up since we started showing people the way of the "avoid GW legal trouble" path

Well, then that's fully understandable.
Still, looking forward to buying up a great deal of things from you, if you maintain that quality on the Bone Swords and Lash Whips!

I know, I was disappointed in your bonesword arms till I realized they weren't yours! I'm very excited to get yours (after I realized which ones are yours), when are they going to be up for preorder?
