Well I suppose with the winning streak going for the dark eldar release it needed a big kick in the nads from GW at some point.

I believe that's the model they were reffering to.
The model is the Bio-Terror, nothing to do with GW or dark eldar but has plenty of frankenstein genetic science monster nastiness.

Holy crap. That thing's a better Grotesque (proxy) than the actual Grotesque!

I know, gross, isn't it?

Its waist is stupid thin.

So's a boa constrictor's


Doesn't mean it isn't strong as hell

I don't have my codex on me, but I remember it saying that all their organs are taken from its body and slumped onto a heap on its back. Just to make him sexy thin I guess.

edit: not saying this thing is supposed to be a grotesque or anything.

So GW "news politics" are kick starts with Razorwing??

Anyone notice how much the PP and GW wracks/cryx look like Cenobites?

What's wrong with that? I think it's EPIC.

Where did I say anything was wrong with them looking like Cenobites.

I was enquiring whether anyone else had noticed this similarity.

I've always thought the whole Dark Eldar mythos had a lot of ties to the Cenobites.

That Bio-Terror is simple hilarious. Even the helmet looks the part.

They are fanTastic models. That is why I have 3.

Are the Paulson figures posable?

Yeah, I have to say I really like the razorwing price. I'm sure it's much smaller than I'm imagining, but I could have sworn GW would charge stormraven/valkyrie prices for it, regardless of size...glad to see that's not the case and now I'm really tempted to get three of them, and I never really wanted to get any in the first place.

Tempted, mind you. Considering GW's latest bout of stupidity I'm not really interested in getting "non-essentials" for my DE army, I just want them playable so I can use the models I already bought. But if GW weren't god-damned idiots I'd like to get three of them, anyway.

Well I plan on picking up some of the wracks and grotesques. I will probably only get a few and mix them in with my conversions. For those that absoultly hate the new wracks and grotesques, you could always convert some like mine:

http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/images-14732-14503_Grotesques%20%26amp%3B%20Wracks.html

Those grotesques remind me an awful lot of the strigoi and much maligned metal chaos marine possessed, especially in posing. Not a fan.

The Wracks on the other hand I do like, they could've been a little more animated, but I like them as is.

I'm not a fan of the grotesques, I'll hold out judgement until we get decent pictures though. The wracks (although static) look good imo.

i like your grotesques too, and don't really like GW's. the mono-pose is the biggest problem, but on top of that, the fact that the huge growth+techie-bit-n-bobs sticking out of the back seem to be larger than the actual torso itself is, in my opinion as a designer, a bigtime fail. i know that this is in keeping with the pic in the codex, but i think the torso should be bigger than the growth/tubes/vanes growing out of it.

PS-how did you make your legs/skirts? is the skirt made out of GS?

Thanks for the comments. I made them with green stuff. Basically just took a piece and put some water on bottom side of the greenstuff and pressed it flat against a piece of plastic. Then I peeled it off and pressed it on the Chaos Spawn. Using a sculpting tool, I moved it into place better and tore at the bottom of it to make it look frayed.

The shape of the piece was something like a trapezoid.

That's why FLGS are so much better! Most of them are way more lenient.

Elbow joint is ball and socket. So is the wrist. Looks like each claw is as well. :-)

Scottywan82 wrote:Are the Paulson figures posable?

Yes they are posable. Except the legs. Other than that they are posable. There are some pics of poses in my gallery. There are a lot of ball joints

The legs are posable below the knee if you are wiling to cut and greenstuff

The Paulson Grotesque rocks, I have a few (pics in my gallery) but I like the GW ones - will use one for the leader model with the liquifier gun.

Heck, your shins are poseable if one is willing to cut and restick them, but I don't think that's what people mean when they ask if something's poseable.

hmmm
I don't like it at all. The waist is to exaggeratedly thin, looks like a cottenball on a stick. The ball and socket joints (im looks mainly at the hands) are too noticable. Not that this doesnt resemble a grotesque, it does, but id rather have monoposed dancers than this
