Do you know why GW or FW or someone never did a line of RPG figures?
Is because they hate their fans or because they hate money?
Probably for the same reason that Warhammer was invented in the first place; why sell one miniature to an RPG gamer when you can sell a hundred to a wargamer? There were occasionally suitable models in the web-only section, but those were basically test sculpts from new sculptors, I think (the Warhammer Empire civilians, for example).
Dark Heresy doesn't really bother with miniatures-centric play anyway. Certainly not to the extent of recent D&D or Iron Kingdoms.
GW's business model is to take advantage of plastic moulding technology and economy of scale to mass produce super cheap figures and sell them for higher prices than boutique resin models
The female Inquisitors are available on their own without their sweet, sweet rides.

The vehicle we saw previewed is out Not an armored limo per se, more of an SUV or station wagon. Not sure if I like the plain looking chasis with the over the top roof eagle. But at $30/euros it's not a bad buy for terrain or other uses.
Even better a 3 car deal for $100/euros! So tempted, so, so tempted.
Some new pin up Tau models I don't understand who wants them, but they keep making them so I assume someone is buying.
New female commissar Still a bit cleavagy but not a full on pr0n/fetish model at least.
And a guardswoman There may be other cool stuff buried in the site too so take a look.
So damn tempted by those cars and Inqusisitors. So damn tempted...

Its hard to be awesome, when your playing with little plastic men. Welcome to Fantasy 40k
If you think your important, in the great scheme of things. Do the water test.
Put your hands in a bucket of warm water,
then pull them out fast. The size of the hole shows how important you are.
I think we should roll some dice, to see if we should roll some dice, To decide if all this dice rolling is good for the game.

The new commissar isn't half bad, just need to replace the grenade launcher with a bolter or the like to make it more acceptable within certain circles.
They also released a crapton of other minis, but those fall within the lines of poorly done pin-ups IMHO.

Am I adding it up wrong or is it cheaper to buy the Inquisitors and Cars plus limo than all cars and then the Inquisitors - likely what I will do.

It is cheaper by €2, if you purchase the new car by itself and the inquisitors with the cars together for €127.97. If you buy the bundle of 3 cars, then purchase the inquisitors separately then you are looking at €129.97. The bundle of 3 cars is really meant for those who want the cars without the miniatures.

I like those models in general, but I can't help wondering if the ladies wouldn't be more comfortable if they didn't have grapefruits shoved into their shirts...
Cool rides, though!

I really like the female mechanics eradicator squad and the necrocyborg ladies except for the exposed breasts. I still might end up getting them because I really like everything else about the sculpts. Unfortunately I'm not too keen on my own modding skills to redo the chests to something less flashy but still good looking. I could sand the nipples off, make it skin tight outfit ghost in the shell style, but not sure that fits either.
They are meant to be pin-ups and I honestly think it is done as one of the main reasons to protect them. They are *cough* art and modified such there really isn't anything in that particular market that matches them... so it makes the gray area less murky. Or that is the hopes. At least that is the impression I get.

The Raging Heroes tech priest I got also has exposed flesh, I decided to take the lazy way out and just paint those parts in the same gold as the rest of her mechanical body, perhaps as a homage to her origins or the like.

I just recently started reading mechanicum, and the description of Adept Zeth when you first see her is something like this.
I got the 48mm tech priest they made previously with the exposed breasts, I did the same as above and cut them off, sanded down the nipples and painted the "skin" areas black to give the appearance of a body glove. I just don't think I would personally be comfortable with putting a model on the table where it is obviously bearing nipples full on. I might pick one up for an arch magos character... that inquisitor with the hat is badass though.
I really wish the techpriestess eradicators had more... I don't know... armor? Or something? Something that makes them look more badass and less... "I have a gun and I'm naked look at me". At least their techpriestess adept 48mm model had a lot more going on with it than tits.

Well y'know when you shrink something to 28mm certain details have to be exaggerated in order to be visible on the table top, hence the lasguns that are as tall as guardsmen, or the Eldar with hats as big as their torsos.
So yeah, NECESSITY!

I mean. If your rebuilding your body anyway. Who wouldn't want a pair of gold plated D-Cups? ;P

I wish they werea little less boobtastic, but the second Inquisitor with the Witch Hunter vibe is really calling to me, all aspects other than the chest are great.

No. For a bunch of reasons.

I wouldn't just make them gold-plated though, maybe put in some flamethrowers or the like.
Captain Murphy had the right idea.
But seriously, Mechanicum is mostly function over form, but there are always elements out there who prefer it the other way around: form over function, especially those who are in a phase where they perhaps regret the transformation of flesh to metal, or feel they need to remind their selves and others of what they were before the changes.

I've been looking at the commissar models for a while now, it is good to hear that they are actually good quality sculpts.
Perhaps I'll finally order one...

If you do (and there's no reason you shouldn't, the quality's great), make sure you don't skimp on the prep. It's super hard to get paint to stick unless you really take the time to soak and scrub them beforehand.
Agreed. A good and thorough cleaning is required, but other than that, flawless casts of outstanding quality with little to no flash, moldlines or annoying gates.

Interestingly enough, she's armed with a Volkite serpenta, so she's excellent for Horus Heresy games and if your opponent isn't a massive jerk, you can always have it count as a Volkite Blaster for games of 40k.
