Sound advice there, actually!

Stay on topic, and polite - please!

I was never into Warzone 'back in the day', but this one's got me very interested now.

I was backing Thon, but the lack of... much...going on there has caused me to Scipio/Azazelx my pledge there, and now I'm seriously contemplating backing this one.

Biggest issue is just not knowing much about... anything!

But... the models sure do look nice!

All I can add is I played 1st ed Warsone along with 2nd 40k. Warzone was solid. I still feel scorned by the demise. The rebirth has me excited. I've been following this from go. I hope it lives up.

Not reallt understanding the hate for the shark face. Fits into the contours of the shoulders.

May have to jump from Bauhaus to Cybertronic.

Cybertronic rules! Thats was my corp than and now. Lol.

I still have my first Ed books in my bookcase, but really all you need are 5 seconds on Google to see the old version of the sharkface, and this one looks, if not perfect, better. imagine the paint job you can put up on that sucker!

The gigadeath chainripper wasn't able to reach the ground either, as well as being connected to the body waaaaaayyy too far back. But with such a cool name... what's not to love?

The old Deathegg is 3.25 inches to the top of the egg and a total of 3.75 including the Rocket tubes.

I do dig the egg shark throw back design.

The old version:



Not so good.

On the subject of the Grizzly, did they confirm that it is getting a re-work/updating as well, or is it going to look just like it used to look?

honestly, just the improvements of tech the last 10 years are going to make most models look much better. I believe the tank will look pretty close to the picture on KS though.

The things I'm worried about are the purple sharks. It is VERY typical on speeder type models to have drivers/riders to be the size of an adolescent compared to everything else. I guess you got horse jockeys that are really small, but the scale is bad much too often with speeders and I really hope that isn't the case.

Considering they are doing everything in CAD, their is no reason the riders should be smaller, unless they scale them to be smaller on purpose.

For the Erradicator, I think all that needs to be done to the "shark teeth" is to change the angles to match the "EKG heart beat" in the background of the Cybertronic C.

I kind of like the Eradicator's new design. Is there supposed to be a human brain hardwired into it or something? Kind of like a Dreadnought?

Also, is there a larger/closer image for the Machinators? I'm really liking them, but I can't make out a lot of the detail from the tiny pics.

I really like the new Eradicator, it looks both sinister, a bit silly and a little cute (in a certain light ) but all in a good way! Sure I'm not surprised people don't like the face but as an old fanboy it gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling . Maybe the thighs should be a little bit rounded though, to match all the other slightly rounded surfaces?

the face cone is the only rounded surface realy, maby make the cone more angled like the shoulder pads and legs? (Regardless of if it keeps the face or not.)

Well you have the arms, weapons and so on, but most big square surfaces could be more rounded imo with the same profile as he "head-fin". So not rounded as in make them completely round or oval but just not that square so to speak ;-)

I'm concerned about the redesign of laura. I think the render is very cool and if you are able to cover her ass with an alternativ cloak I don't see the point in all the hate. But whatever, I don't want to get you guys upset again. In my opinion this would be a great model.

I don't know if hate is the right word but for me it's not so much about the ass as having lost the "knight in space"-feel and gone for some mangaish take (not that I have an issue with manga in general) which just isn't near as cool as the original art imo (which they have been quite fathful to concerning the over all design). And apart from that her pose and proportions are a bit off.

In other words, more of this would be so much better...

Looks pretty good! The jaw and the square "teeth/mouth"-section om the mask made me think it was some cybertronic-dude for a moment though. It would look more like a VR if the jaw was removed and the "teeth" gets a more rounded profile. But good work never the less!

The jaw will be easy to remove so that's not an issue for me. As long as the cloaks and shoulder pads are separate, you've got yourself a sale or three.

Apparently Latveria is under the control of Bauhaus because Viktor von Doom is peeking at me in that pic!

Shouldn't the skull helmet be a fraction bigger? seems like a normal head.

Yup! Looks like a head rather than a helmet. Needs to be larger and have more mechanical detail to show that its a helmet, not a bare skull.

Mouth/jaw looks too much like Necrons or Cybertronic.

yeap, 2x cloaks and shoulder pads are separate

Great looking models!

Now that shows you are really trying to please us the customer. I am so happy there will be so many options and people from all camps will have it the way they like

Awesome.

Well done guys!

Fantastic. I'm really glad I won't have to hack through a unit of Hussars to get my Rangers.

Ok.......I might just be hooked by those rangers. Needs a little work with helmet scaling and I'd like the shoulder pads to be more rounded, but these look really good.

That's looking fantastic so far! Can't wait to see the finished product. The choice of cloaks is lovely and the hooded head looks downright bad ass.

I am not averse to a bit of Dr. Doom in my Bauhaus stuff. Though I do wonder how they would look with slightly more pronounced teeth.

I am ecstatic that I decided to spring for two boxes of these guys.

Yes... for me this is a totally hit on the mark. Hole in one, Prodos! There was a lot of fumbling around for the Hussars, but it pays off on subsequent miniatures from a range.

Now get on those Étoiles ASAP.

Spoiler:

Oh whao. Both cloth and fur cloaks? I love it. Great idea!

Personaly I'm going to use the cloth on these guys because I feel it will look better, but got a feeling thows fur clocks could easily find them selfs in alot of other projects/armies.


I suddenly found my self pretty pumped for these guys. Up untill now I thought I was going to pass on them. I just upgraded from Radiz to Dark legion so I can nab some of these guys.

I have to agree with this. The mask at 1st made me think these were Cybertronic guys for a moment. Stylizing the mask like c0un7 suggested would make them look abit more distinctive.

Well I like infinity, One of the biggest pet peeve about it was how alot of the factions tended to step on each other's toes when it came to aesthetics. At times sometimes the modles could be abit "same-y" between factions.
(Hope that made sense)

How dare you say anything like that about Infinity!

A friend and I, we realized that the holsters on three different armies are *exactly* the same. Although the basic firearms are sufficiently different otherwise.

I'm thinking I'll just convert one of my starters into Étoiles and Rangers and be done with it.

1) Love the reworked Eradicator (and my two Killer Easter Eggs are some of the favorite models in my collection), and I like that fact that you stayed true to the original as well. Please don't give it bumps.

2) The new Venusian Rangers look great, can't wait to see more.

3) Are you guys coming to GenCon or Origins?
