The new models are looking gorgeous as always, though I can't wait to see the wheel add-ons as I like the idea of the limo as a ground car.

Also, I know people are requesting everything under the sun from you, but I'm curious if there are any plans for some Craftworld Eldar style models in the near future? I just started an Aspect army and I'd love some more dynamic Banshees and a female Farseer.

I'm VERY interested in them as "all" my armies are all female. Has anyone ordered them and can show some pics?
Will there be any more? These seem to fit Necron warriors? What about Immortals/Lych etc, their torsos are a bit bigger.
So if anyone orders these can you please put up some pics of the torsos next to Warriors, Immortals, Lychguards.


Mine should arrive in three days. I'll let you know.


Hoping this works... damn drop box

This is a comparison against a lychguard sprue. Please ignore photo/camera issues.

The torsos are thinner in terms of chest size (ignore boobies ) and much thinner shoulder width. They are about the right length, shoulder to rib. However it's worth noting I'm building these into lychguard. I don't have a spare warrior sprue to hand, I'll try to put one up later.

The casting is excellent, though the "hair braids" at the back are very thin and some of the sharp detail will be difficul to pick out - but then I'm a dreadful painter!. On the whole I am really looking forward to this. This is my third purchase from Wargames Ex and the first two, both phaerekhs, are simply stunning, and I can't see a single thing wrong with the torsos at all. Also, there's no ank. I assume for IP reasons.


Edit:

These torsos are great but a few things to note:

They are designed to fit warriors. I've tried them with the legs of warriors, immortals/death marks (which are a little thicker) and lychguard/triarch praetorians (thickest of all). They look best with warriors legs proportionally. In the end I went with lychguard legs (S&B) and cut the little cape things down so they are sort of wearing short skirts. Don't judge me.

The holes for arms need to be bigger. They aren't concave enough and needed ot be drilled in order for the shoulder socket to fit 'in'.

Lastly, I now have female pilots for my ghost arcs. Be afraid

Flamer Car is out. http://wargameexclusive.com/shop/imperial-inquisition/female-arbitrator-with-flamer-heavy-car-28mm/


The door is also the driver's shield, which is neat. I know some of the others are more to everyone's comfort, but I really love asymmetrical vehicles.

The door is really the only part with the hard Inquisitor iconography, so I'd probably end up sanding and greenstuffing the door into a Sororitas logo to proxy the car as an immolator. It's a separate piece, though, so theoretically WarEx could sell different/replacement doors.



You can also get the driver without the car, if that's what you're into.

And as long as we're talking cars, here's the prototype sculpt for an upcoming one that reminds me of a dachshund. I can't unsee the resemblance.

So far, I've loved every vehicle they have released. I only have one at this point, but plan to order a few more along with a couple other models. I have a lot of cityfight terrain, both intact and ruined, along with boards to go with it, and these cars add a lot of character to it.

The flamer car looks very Fisher-Price with what looks like an upscaled 40k flamer without any additional detail. I can only see it as some sort of novelty balloon thing you buy at Dollar Store.

That flame car is just the right sort of flying rodent gak insane.

I am in love with the door-shield. Makes all sorts of fun, cinematic 'car screeches to a sliding stop, occupant leaps from the vehicle in a dive roll holding the door in front of them' things happen in my head.

I like the door shield a lot.

At first I was (perhaps foolishly, in a grimdark OTT future) thinking of practicalities, mostly along the lines of "but you would surely want thick heavy vehicular armour on your door whereas you want light high-tech thin armour on your shield so it's easy to manoeuvre". Then I remembered what a faff it is to have a shield in any kind of confined space; if I take one to a larp event it has to go on the roof or at least on top of a big pile of kit in the back, and it's non-trivial to get it out of the door in the latter case or unrope it in the former. Whereas here you just grab the handle, push the quick-release, and you're out and fighting. Perfect.

(And of course you can have a balance between light and strong... spend a load more cash/resouces on rare materials for the shield that you might not want to spend on an entire array of vehicular armour... etc.)

For some odd reason the door shield bugs me, not because it's a door shield, that's kind of cool, but it leaves the driver's seat to a greneade or even a hijack.

Yeah the cyborg cop with exposed cleavage doesn't bug me, the car with a flamer thrower the size of a sewer pipe doesn't buy me, but that does.

At which point you'll probably need the shield, so it all makes sense.

You're mixing up "making sense"(ie, internal logical consistency, the setting has this or that quality or makes this or that claim, and subsequent material acknowledges and proceeds logically from said quality or claim), with "practicality"(ie, "a flamethrower that large would never exist in RL blah blah I love joyless pedantry!") - I suspect most of us in this thread are probably not big fans of the latter
