I don't know that the Primarch game is the one to be getting into these days.

Some of us feel the recent Magnus model was pretty awful. The WE model looks much more how I'd imagine Magnus to look, even after attaining permanent residence in the warp.

The 30k Magnus will be totally different, so whatever GW released wouldn't be for that game anyway given the setting differences. This model is pretty great as are the new Kabuki models (Emphasis on NEW).

I'm largely in agreement - the Citadel Magnus' face looks like he's contemplating his haemarroids and his weird fang-hands are nasty. The WE sculpt is far more dignified, although the lack of his iconic nipple-horns is somewhat disappointing.

I like the gw one better, but the lord of change is cooler still.

Yup, those are awesome.

Although now they need to make a little Tau Tom Cruise to oversee them...

That was the first thing that popped into my head!

As somone who owns a lot of the WE models I can tell you they are wonderful sculpts. Cant wait to see more of them!

yea same here haha

That Magnus looks pretty damn awesome, I know some people who have been waiting on FW will probably just grab this guy. Same with Dorn, Alpharius, I mean we haven't heard anything so I guess secrecy has its price?

I would not have guess that was (not) Magnus. Has a very native-American feel to me.

Exclusive is like a less overt, less OTT version of Hi-Tech Miniatures (who I adore!). I fear that their totally-not-Primarch line could end up tipping those scales.

New Greater Good gun drones. Now these things look cool. I'm going to grab a few to represent a high tech next gen drone. They look like little techno-burgers turned sideways lol. They are as cute as they are deadly. https://wargameexclusive.com/shop/greater-good/greater-good-gun-drones-3u/ They remind me of the portal 2 sentries combined with the floating disc thing in XCOM.

Hmm. I have a LOT of spare gun drones, and these don't look hard to convert from GW gun drones. Line up the pulse carbines vertically, sandwiched between two gun drone hulls.

I like the Magnus model but feel that he has some flaws. He seems a little skinny and the face looks a bit off from the side, I thought the same as Schmapdi in that he had a Native American vibe about him. I think it's the nose... Some of the raised details look a little too raised as well. I see a lot of that on models you see on Shapeways that get a little too carried away.Probably not as noticeable in person though as renders tend to exaggerate features like that.


Still a good looking model however. Depending on the price I will probably pick one up and maybe set at him with a knife to make a different character entirely. I am making an alt-future TSons army after all!

Hopefully they make some more TSons stuff. I have their terminators and marines already and they are excellent sculpts.

IIRC they already make Thousand Son heads and other bitz.

I'd love to know how the transmission on that new car is supposed to work.

I for one welcome the inevitable overtly female versions of the primarchs

It probably has the same method as the Forge World Elysian Tauros Ventor- "rugged drive axles are individually powered by high-yield galvanic motors"

New limited edition, some sort of Red Magus...

40 EUR

Another new car on the way - The Dolphin!

Note that the wheel wells have drone slots and the drones are removable.

Can't wait to see cars for the other races. Trazyn needs a sweet ride.

I really wish the hover pods had looked a little less like GW drones.. I get it (kind of) but I would've loved to use these for non-Tau purposes. Even for Tau purposes it just seems a little silly that EVERYTHING would be driven by those little drones. It just reminds me of the little dog in How The Grinch Stole Christmas.. when he was pulling that big ass sleigh..
That.. and it just kinda seems like lazy design compared to their other offerings :(

I'm not super upset or ranting or raging or anything. I was just really hoping they would go a different direction here and am a bit let down. I still think these guys are awesome.. just not my cuppa on this one.

EDIT: All of that is towards the idea of this being a civilian craft.. which.. using military drone designs as the propulsion is completely silly.. For a made up military scout type thing or even a tetra or whatever they're called.. it's fine.
(end rant.. I mean.. not-rant)

Think of it as an Officer's Command Car rather than a civilian vehicle ...

I have about a dozen of the miniatures, the sculpts are certainly getting better and they are well cast.

I ordered a couple cars for a scenario I want to run which are on the way to me- I haven't seen very many pictures of them 'in the wild' so I am eager to see them in person.

'Greater Good' car looks pretty sweet to me.

Yep they will be pretty cool - bit like the female Special Chars for Blood Bowl Grebo did

I can't wait to see what they do for eldar. Maybe I should just have auto deductions from my pay check for these folks.

New month, new car. And this one might just get my money finally.

THe Imperial City Shark

Available in long...



And short



4 doors, and under $40. My last 2 arguements just dropped away.

Man that is a nice one.

Yeah, looks like it drove straight out of Tim Burton's Night Haunter.

Just a pity there's no way for the driver to see forwards….

Can't tell which end is the front. I'd like WGE to back things off 20% Then they'd be perfect.
