That dragon makes a great first impression, but on closer examination, the back legs look too static, the tail looks awkward and the head design means it will be very hard to establish any sort of focal point as there essentially isn't a "face" thanks to all the horns.

Since it's a WIP, I'll wait to see the finished result and a painted version of it before I give it any criticism.

Really?

Those pictures aren't enough for you to base an opinion on? Exactly how much work do you think is left to do on that thing?!

Paint can mask a bad sculpt or ruin a good one, so I'd look out for the naked resin version if I were you.

Unless I was writing in a different language, yes, really. I like the model so far, but I want to see it finished and painted. Nitpicking at the unfinished product is a bit pointless.

Is it wrong that I think a Khornate juicing machine would kinda be in character? Gotta do something with all those headless bodies after all

No, it isn't.

It's a succession of clear, in focus, pictures of a complete/near complete model. If they scrap large parts of it and redo them, I'll revise my opinion, but if you're trying to argue that there's somehow insufficient information to have an opinion on this, as opposed to some of the half frame, fuzzy leak pics that do sometimes illicit a premature reaction, or are trying to argue that because it's "WIP" the pose and detail of the finished thing is going to somehow radically depart from what we're seeing, I'd suggest it's more about your inability to accept other people criticism of things you like, which is something there's copious amounts of evidence to support!

Or is it somehow ok to "like it so far" but on the same evidence I can't say "I don't like it so far" because that's nitpicking. Maybe I think you're being premature in your liking it?

First of all, let me congratulate you on your membership of my Ignore list. Enjoy your stay.

And if anything, your comment earlier would suggest the same of you. I am open to people's criticism of things I like, but frankly, I find it annoying when folks jump on it like I've just killed a baby seal. Which is generally when the Ignore button kicks in.

Anyways, now you've had your little poke at me and made yourself feel like a big man, let's return to the topic of the discussion, shall we?

That Khornate Dragon might not be bad if they lost the Lord and had it carrying some Eldar Exodites instead.

This is excellent advice, actually.

No new Chaos Dwarfs? Disappointing...

As for that dragon thing; Ugh, it's just, no.

Trish Carden strikes again it seems. Still, at least it isn't in her usual "bowling for the wickets" pose.

Could he have microcephaly? Also, not every *gift* from the dark gods is a good thing.

Is it bad that I now want someone to konvert up a Khornate Kricket team?

Because if not, that means it's contagious...

Runs for the runs God! Wickets for the wicket throne!

Jumpers for goal posts, skulls for balls.

This, this, a thousand times this.

Trish cannot sculpt realistic looking animal/monster musculature, so why on earth GW and Forge World see her as the go to person whenever a monster needs sculpting is quite frankly beyond my comprehension.

I'm sure that she is a lovely person and I bear her no ill will personally, but I really really dislike her sculpts. technically they are just not up to scratch.

Just line up Skaarac, Seamus and the Mourngul. Bonus points for the Tyranid Dimachaeron. You won't have to do much converting... Though you'll be hard pressed to find a batsman. They all fancy themselves as bowlers

Presumably as she's pictured behind the model and holds up the wing in one photo...

That's Trish?

I saw photo of who I thought was supposed to be her, looked nothing like her. I clearly need to revise my design studio head canon.

Here's a recent shot of her from a Forgeworld Bulletin.

Well it's Khorne. Brains aren't highest on to-have list for Khorne followers That's just Khorne moulding his followers to his taste!

I got an update for my digital version of DFTS, but did the Vendetta make it in there? I didn't remember seeing it, still just the Valk.

I think the Dragon looks absolutely fine. It's clearly a WIP that has a bit more fettling and tweaking left to do.

A friend said to me today that solar auxilia storm section with rotor cannons was rumoured for september october, is there any evidence for this or have i got my hopes for awesome looking miniguns up for nothing? -thanks

I think I like the dragon so far, though I want to see more shots of the head. That will make it or break it, for me.

The rider is... Yikes, it's awful.

This is news to me, but it wouldn't surprise me, as there are just a few models / options missing from the range as is right now:

- LORD MARSHAL IRETON MASADE
- Auxilia Rapier with Laser destroyer array
- Auxilia Rapier with Graviton cannon
- Veletarii with rotor cannon
- Tarantula with twin-linked multi-laser
- Tarantula with twin-linked heavy flamers
- Tarantula with twin-linked rotor cannon

Plus the reintroduction of the Stormblade super-heavy tank, which has been removed from sales some time ago sadly.

The Veletarii with rotor cannons shouldn't be too hard though, just like with the power axe variants, they use the same stock bodies, just different arms. Though as cool as they will no doubt look, I can't see myself using rotor cannons on such an aggressive and mobile unit.

Thanks as for why id be using them they are better than lasrifle sections bs4 and higher bs and being half the model count but still geting 40 shots.

It's still here, just temporarily out of stock. https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-GB/Stormblade-Arkurian-Pattern
