Not sure about that Captain mini. I mean, it's not bad but as a BA Captain I imagined the armor being gold and super ornate. Dante's armor is gold. Tycho's armor is gold. Old RT captain figs have been painted up with gold. So why no gold for this guy?

No reason he can't be painted gold... In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if paint jobs started popping up that made this model look good. It wouldn't be the first time my opinion of a model had been swayed by the paint job alone..,

Whats up with so many new base sizes?

I hope in the future they release the Blord on a individual box packed with options, I would buy that!

The current scheme is that "artificer" armor is painted gold. That's why Dante is gold as well as the Sanguinary Guard. Also, Tycho's official scheme is gold and he is actually a captain in artificer armor. They might be better examples than using the rogue trader bolter on the hip captain that they stopped selling 20+ years ago.

In any case, there is nothing preventing you from just deciding to paint your captain in terminator armor gold as well. There are no GW paint scheme police (or lawyers) that come to your house with a cease painting and desist from deviating letter because you painted your spees marine differently.

Saw 32mm bases for sale, thats definently intruiging

Sorry for the OT, but on looking at the new releases, has anyone noticed that they're selling Hobbit stuff which, in order to get the whole set, one would have to spend £118 to get 14 ordinary 28mm scale models (and small ones at that, being all dwarfs except one hobbit?)

Oh yes, we noticed...

All twelve of us that still cling on to that game for dear life, and find it increasingly impossible to explain/justify/comprehend why half-sized minis need to cost so damn much. It's just greed, which I why I've not been able to justify even considering the 3+ new LotR armies I would have bought in a heartbeat should that have been at old/reasonable prices...

This in my opinion is the sort of inspiration they should have used for the captain, moloc just looks very blood angel with how ornate the armour of his is.



Sure with a head swap and some other additions/removals, and obvious weapon swap, you could make a much better model with moloch as a base.

And they're not even plastic are they? So super-overdrive Hobbit prices + FineCost = FAIL!

I nearly made a Sisters of Battle quip there. Nearly.

Can't see it being new winged Tyranids. We have Gargoyles, Flyrants, Crones/Harpies already. I think we've had our second wave as it were...definately suspect Blood Angels...you know, them being the jump-pack army ('wings').

We do not have wings. Except for Celestine, but she is not deadly...

I guess "On Purely Decorative Wings They Come"
is less ominous sounding.
Seems like a bit of a weird way to herald the arrival of the Blood Angels though.

You need to change your user name to "Drax the Destroyer".

Maybe it's literal. Maybe we really are getting the Blood Angels riding giant bats unit that we've all been dreading.

Well, lords of war posted about the new base sizes. Its confirmed, as far as they can tell. Bleck.

The wings are made of blood. Blood that kills. The wings are literally deadly by themselves!

You're replying to a Sisters player who's complaining about something in their Codex. Do you see this line of enquiry ending well for you?

Please explain the joke .

Nothing can go over your head Hybrid. You always catch it.

You are mocking me.

Since she had T3 with 3 Wounds. Even coming back, she isn't hard to actually kill.

Shield of Baal: Deathstorm, are those the rules? Hardback 128 pages for 1750 yen is that a typo? (or is it a novel?)

It's a novella starring Karlaen.

Well at least the 32mm bases are reasonably priced, to bad they are on line only.

Hahhaha, AUD$70 for three Dwarf minis? Oh GW...

165€ for 10 dwarfs and a hobbit seems a real bargain!

So are TOs going to force people to rip up their painted models and place them on new bases?

GW nukes the tournament players once again with total chaos.

Who knows... the last time this happened (with terminators), it was with a new sculpt switchover (new plastic kit and brand new Grey Knight metal terminators) and the rule in the book was that you had to use the base provided with the mini. If you had the old metal minis or the old plastic ones, you had 25mm termie bases as legal. If you had the new at the time sculpts, you were supposed to use the 40mm ones. I ran into a few folks that preferred all terminators on 40mm bases and still bring some cheap balsa wood litko 40mm bases with me when I use those figs.
