Does FW not realise that my whole waiting on starting Necromunda is hinging on them releasing big cats? (and possibly trying to at least get the bulk of my Daughters of Khaine force at least half built and bought)

I figured it was worth posting the unpainted image of Kria so people can see she doesn't actually have square eyes.

The face is a really nice sculpt - really who ever let that over painted face slide needs a slap lol

I can’t wait to see all of you paint that model up so we can see what REAL artists can’t do .

That's a gak argument, and you know it.

This painter has been fairly controversial, and I think it shows why GW paint models like they do, in the Eavy Metal style: it is perfect for clearly and cleanly showcasing the sculpt. It's not a vehicle for the painter's self-expression, it's made to show off a product in the best way possible. The FW painter is great at painting, and I'm sure his armies look amazing (his diorama in the latest WD is great), but they're not the best for extreme close-ups meant to sell a product.

I think it's funny that the description says she has flak armour yet the rules say she has mesh armour... I will still buy her but is funny. I am waiting for BRUTES!!! omg when are they gunna be released it's been an age.

The brutes *and* the pets... in addition to all the other bounty hunters... and that is just what we know of. If the rumours of juve models are true...!

Well, then they completely failed at that. The sculpt is great, the paint job totally ignores the sculpt of the eyes.

You're agreeing with each other, his point is that this model isn't done in the 'Eavy Metal style and GW use that style for a reason.


I'd say that other than the eyes, there's nothing wrong with this paint job and it's better than 90% of the 'Eavy Metal output.

What's wrong with these exactly? Are you talking about the paint job?

Yes, they’re talking about the paint job.

Yep, hence using the words paint job...

Your wit would be impressive had the answer before yours not been typed hours before.

It was still fairly impressive as the answer (yes, it is the paint job) was typed out about an hour and a half before your post asking if it was...the paint job.

Anyway, can the OP please update the thread title?

Thanks!

I think your definition of impressive is sub-normal. Is this about the Ad Mech stuff? Please no. I don'y like adding people to my ignore list, it's a headache when they're in a thread that interests me, I have to read their posts anyway since it could have good info (never does, but still I must click).

Does anyone know when is the next FW 'Big Thing Announced Day'?

It feels as if FW is not really firing on on cylinders as of late - feels like they're in 'tread water' mode.

FW is still undergoing an internal reorganisation, which may take some time yet.

Good point - that's certainly what it feels like these days.

I do hope that they get back to more of what they were doing, soon.

Unreleasing models?

Ha! Good one!

But no, not that!

More along the lines of getting back to what appeared to be a plan/schedule and sticking to it.

The Horus Heresy books/game/models for one, as well as fun and interesting things for 40K.

Not releasing books?
Teasing decals years before putting them into production?

Enquiring minds need to know.

Hasn't the reorganisation really been going on since the sad passing of Alan Bligh? I should think he means back to that point, not what we had a couple of months ago.

Well yes, that!

Alan Bligh must have meant even more to FW than we knew - and we knew he meant a lot...

If my memory banks aren't playing their usual tricks, didn't they say late 2019 for the next HH black book with catch up releases for models in the published ones in the meantime.The latter certainly hasn't been much in evidence yet, though you'd have thought the generic legion consuls previewed recently can;t be too far off.

Could you entertain the notion that, as the author of one of the comments seemingly in question, I was confirming IAmAGeek's assertion? I wasn't trying to be particularly witty, just a spot of light snark to start the day. Having seen your interaction with Mysterio, feel free to also ignore me henceforth.

I feel like Alan Bligh was the raging bonfire that kept the Horus Heresy forges working, and everyone else there is just a Zippo lighter.

Aye, but the fire of HH burned everything else in the FW studio.
