*Desire to build a skull throne intensifies*

Same bro. Was always too expensive before. I was planning to use sprue and cover with a layer of Skulls but with 340 to work with, it can be entirely skulls.


SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE.

Not too sure about the Daemon skulls, but otherwise very cool!

I guess Bloodletters can have their skulls taken and not sent back into the immaterium because Skulls for the Skull Throne!

Makes as much sense as anything else Warhammer. Maybe it only works when they're decapitated?



On second thought, maybe it also works on all daemons?

Do you really think Khorne would make anything that didn't have a skull in it?

If they were summoned into or possessed a mortal host a Demon could twist the body into a more demonic form. When the Demon is "killed" it would then leave behind a corpse.

Wait a sec is that a bird person skull?!

It is far more likely that Khorne demons are all skull. And blood.

Could be a Tzaangor?

That would certainly explain the Hellbrute model...

Bird skulls are the same as in HERO BASES kit. Not sure if they are person though.

I'm glad there aren't 339 skulls. That wouldn't be enough. Also 341 would be too many. Looks like they nailed it!

I wish they would have released a pack of 680 skulls, I don't think 340 is enough for me.

Guess you're going to have to learn how to press mould then...

I'm going to assume that daemons which manifest by possessing a host then mangling the host's body into their own shape (or something similar, like Nurgle's Rot victims becoming Plaguebearers) have an actual skeleton, while ones that manifest directly from the warp just dissolve into ectoplasm.

I'm gonna assume the rules are kinda confused and chaotic! eh, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh?

Wait...what?

The barbed bracken - looks a bit alien and more suited to 40k



And painted vines



Preorders this Saturday (12th)

So what's the cost gonna be for these?

The skulls and the vines are sweet. Don't think I care for the bracken from that picture.

Digging the vines, bracken looks more 40k to me and I'm thinking they'll look great on my tyranid bases.

Meh on the bracken. That's not how I imagine bracken to look. They should have named it random spiky space plant instead.

Might be the picture and perhaps it looks better at a different angle, but for now I'll stick with just skulls.

The vines look really really good. And flexible? That's certainly something. But does it mean PVC or resin?

They will be PVC, as previously established in this thread.

I wonder if only the vines will be pvc or if all three might be just as kind of a group release thing.

According to the WD photo on the first page, the vines and the bracken are flexible.

So the skulls will be normal plastic. Well, I guess the real question is whether that's in fact true, or if it's Chinese plastic like those basing kits. The skulls on those are hardly as crisp as the ones in the Skeleton Warrior box. But so far we have no indication (that I'm aware of anyway) that the new skulls will be anything but a regular plastic kit.

As much as it is a cliche to make fun of GW for their weird skull fetish, this set actually looks pretty skull.

I mean pretty cool.

Yeah, when I read about GW releasing skulls, I thought 'lame', but they actually look awesome.

The "Chinese plastic" is still polystyrene like the miniature kits, though.

Yeah,

Any lack of detail is down to either the master or the mold, not the material.

The barbed bracken looks perfect for Catachan Deathworld terrain, remember the WD rules for maneating plants?

Catachan Confirmed! Half Life 3 Confirmed! NOICE!

Yeah, I know. I'm not concerned about the material. Quality, on the other hand...

And it was just a thought. As I said, so far we have no indication that it'll be anything but the usual GW plastic we know and love.

The master of the skulls I spoke of is the same CAD file as the one that makes crisp skulls in the skeleton box.

I assume a less precise, outsourced mold for bases and accessories is simply cheaper for GW.
