Hats off to the modeller.

That looks fething terrifying.

While I can fully understand why people are hating on the releases/poses/models, you guys have to remember that this is essentially 1st Edition.

Heck, 1st Eldar looked like this;



Which looks really terrible compared to:



Gotta let them clean up the lines and stuff.

And quite a few of mine will be built just like that as that is one beautiful loadout. Of course, it remains to be seen if it is the most optimal for gameplay, but I don't think that's going to stop me

That is the loadout that will obliterate units through sheer weight of fire. It won't do too hot against single tough models like an Angel or another Hunter though. It will also be the most points however, as the game is generally centered around multi-model units.

I'm guessing that will be the most popular configuration if you're just going purely by the rules, so its nice that it is also one that people will likely want to take because of how it looks as well.

Welcome to buying stuff on the internet.

It's a little unreasonable to expect companies to release specific pricing for any country other than the one they are based in, precisely because of that fluctuation.

RiTides wrote:Davor, unfortunately Kickstarter forces companies to choose a single currency for their rewards, otherwise I'm sure Spiral Arm would have set a price for pounds, euros, and canadian dollars.

Thanks guys. As I said, never did a kickstarter and any time I did shop online they were always in Canadian prices. I didn't know they only did US prices and everyone had to convert. I lernt something today.

Again thank you.

No problem, Davor! I'm thinking of backing a campaign that is being run in Canadian dollars so I'm about to be in the same position in reverse

Well now that is just an excellent convergence . Crowd control hunters - love it!

Not sure where your logic is going here. You are comparing models 20 years ago to models now and some how making a strange justification for how something might look several years down the line. People are paying money for the models now and must make judgement on what they look like now not what they might look like in over a decade.

I understand that models improve with both time due to experence of the people making them and the technology invovled but not sure how that has any bearing on a persons opinion of a model here and now and their decision of if they do or don't like said model and if they wish to purchase it or not.

I was wondering something, is there likely to be a Quick Reference Sheet made by the company? I've found those to be utterly invaluable in playing wargames, and I cry buckets of tears when I get a new rulebook without a QRF at the back/separate.

This may have been asked way earlier, but I only got into this at page 70 or so.

Is the terrain sprue add on free shipping to the USA?

I think SAS said the terrain sprue includes worldwide shipping.

I think we have different tastes, as not only do I love the look of the Angel as I said, but I also dig the old early edition models, including Eldar. Yes I agree the new models are more refined, but that doesn't mean I can't like both.

The top eldar was 2nd edition as the RT ones were Mark 1.

Nah, they're Rogue Trader guardians as well. Released around White Dwarf 127 from what I remember but you're right in that they aren't the original Eldar Pirates released.

Here's their original box:

Today's update reveals that our backers have voted, an an entire free Karist Mature Angel is being added to every boxed set as a result!

We've also got a nice compilation of images in place, showing a large range of tabletop style views of the models:

<post removed by poster>

Because it's similarly hilarious to people trying to make equal comparisons of models made 20 years ago to models made today.

yeah,
That's a great looking ammount of models in the starter set!
And there are a few more to be added!

Can't wait, I'm going to be playing Epirians.

I plan to paint mine up like the doom guy!


I bought some Pig iron heads to complete the look. Trim the lens off and GS the vents.


Panic...

That's a cool idea Panic. I still can't work out the style for my Epirian's yet. I'm sure something will come though.

Well, after much debate, I decided to back this.

I'm only going in for the rules for now, as neither of the current factions appeal to me enough to spring for the extra $80 at the moment. I have plenty of Guard models I can use as stand-ins to get a grasp of the rules to see if I want to invest further when art/models of future factions come out.

That and I like Dakka, so I figure I'd support this project, even if only a small amount.

Click the (mostly hidden) 'X' in the top left corner of the banner ad under the header. Thanks for enduring - 90% of Dakka's traffic visits just one page at a time, so the big ads are the only way to ensure we maximise exposure over these last few days!

This doesn't exist on the ads at the bottom of every page.

Do it on the one at the top, and it will remove the one at the bottom as well - they use the same lockout code.

Thanks. That's much less obnoxious, but it still leaves a bit of a blurb at the bottom of the page.

Agreed. Doing so does not remove the ad from the bottom of the page.

Thank God, just the quote is down there now.

Never minded the banner at the top but the one at the bottom of each thread was to much in your face. Thanks for the advice.

never mind...

Oh, very nice! What are those Pig Iron heads called, I may actually do the same if you don't mind as I think full helmets will really help them blend in with the robots better.
