Why are there no pics of the Forgefather models from Gencon?

Ronnie had a no cameras allowed policy, he wants the first pictures to be released to be the painted ones from Golem.
I couldn't even take a picture to share internally with the rest of OTL.

Im a lot disapointed with that behavior...
I dont expect this degree of secrecy from Ronnie and Mantic, specially, its like they dont knew about the lots of out UK/USA fans they had, who are willing and waiting to buy those minis...
That sounds like "they will buy it anyway, cook them a little more".

Yeah, I think we can all agree the Facebook idea is a little lame. I can perhaps understand why they'd want nicely photographed ones shown, but you'd think Gencon would be the perfect place to show them off, what difference is a few days going to make to them

Guys, the models aren't even painted yet, golem have only done 2 out of the 5 models that make up a unit.
This thread is packed full of hyperbolic statements, on both sides.

Cyporiean wrote:Since I didn't see it mentioned, The reason they haven't posted the pic of the models yet (Open Day/Gencon) is so many people bitch about the photos of their unpainted models and then realize how great they look when painted. SO they wish to avoid that initial bitchfest, and just show off the painted version.
And yet I've only ever heard people say the Golem paintjobs look worse than bare plastic. Certainly that's the case for the orcs, at least, with their radioactive green skin.

No. In fact, I think the exact opposite. This thread has proven that it's definitely NOT something we can all agree on.

I actually have a resin master in my possession. I was sworn by Ronnie at Gencon not to take pics, but considering he and llew Almost beat me in a grudge match game of KoW, I assented. I have also seen the painted pic and some other WIP art. Looks amazing.

They have an agreement with BoW. What else is there to say? I will state the the detail is sharper and crisper than everything else i have seen before, although whether this translates into the Restic Production run is to be seen.

I can understand that, but the BoW deal makes no odds to what they are doing on FB.
Just put the pics up on Backstage then release the info slightly later for the rest of us who can't be bothered with Backstage.

If anything showed up on Backstage it'd be posted on the net for the rest of us within 10 minutes. Probably be half a dozen different people.
Also, who's Ronnie? I know he's a honcho at Mantic. I mean what's his backstory? Ex- GW? What did he do there?

Just went to 2933. I just liked it. I just bought the 110 piece undead army deal last night. So awesome. It's really even bigger than that if you are judicious with your zombies-you can make 40 instead of 30. Definitely worth it.

You? Maladjusted? All I have to do is say..." GW price hike" and you turn into She-Hulk during 'that time of the month' Haha, just kidding buddy. They're just trying to use social media though to get people involved. It's still a small company, but growing and doing well. One of my semi-local shop owners just got 90% of the range in yesterday and finished it today. Hopping over there on Friday to pick me up some wraiths And maybe more revanents. Looking forward to beards in space.
