/Regarding McFarlane Warhammer 40,000 7" Figure Pre-Orders//

For all our customers that have pre-ordered the new wave of Warhammer 40K McFarlane figures -

we have just found out that the 'Blood Angels Hellblaster', 'Adepta Sororitas Battle Sister' and their artist-proof variants that were due this week have been delayed until the summer.

IDtoys have a wee surprise today.

Gold Label 7” Blood Angel Primaris Lieutenant up for pre-order

Didn’t see this previewed before, and I’ve bugger all idea what makes it gold label other than, erm, a gold label.

Comes with Plasma Pistol and Power Sword. Looks rather nice if you ask me! Put my pre-order in, alongside the Sister and Hellblaster, which they also have up for order, alongside the various artist proofs.

I like how A) half of blood drops aren't painted and B) this loadout is illegal in game

What blood drops aren’t painted? They all look it to me..?

The vents on the lack however, I’m guessing shouldn’t be red..

**lord_blackfang**

The detail doesn't seem all that much better than if you just printed yourself an upsized 40k Marine sculpt.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

It certainly looks better in the ‘action shots’. Armour looks to be gloss rather than matte too.

I’m no photographer, but I suspect favourable lighting is favourable at a minimum.

I’ll definitely be touching up the gold though. Wee shade and simple highlight should be enough.

Iron halo/belt bling/sword, also I am not BA expert but I am pretty sure right shoulderpad should have some markings on it and the right one should have heraldic background under wings instead of being solid gold.

**Grot 6**

Local shop is repainting theirs. You break it down, primer it grey, and then go back to work on it.

Anyone casting any heads yet? I'd like to get with you on printing out some weapons load outs, or a heavy weapon, Missile launcher would be nice, but I'll take a las cannon, if your printing.

This nets out for anyone. give me a PM back. because I am also ready about printing some Chaos Space marines, as well...

Ah fair.
Only one I saw was the little belt pendant, but to me that should be all gold anyway.
Can’t say I saw the other two, they blended in

**Stormonu**

Plasma pistol, yay!

Probably will pick this guy up if he's in the same price range as the last one.

Looking forward to a Dark Angel (Hellblaster or Suppressor, cross my fingers).

How can plasma pistol and power sword be an illegal load out?! That’s been a default space marine sergeant/captain option since forever!

You are correct, which is why the current no model, no rules stance at GW is so infuriating.

Same price on IDtoys, but whether that’s a clear indication or them being really good for prices, I don’t know.

It IS a legal load out.

For a different Chapter.

I fully agree, but primaris suffer from idiotic 'no melee for you' syndrome. Why GW made sure their arms are the same size as old SM models if we can't actually use them (when even frakking scouts who have zero bits have freedom to pick anything!), I have no idea

Fun fact - plasma pistol and power sword are illegal on all primaris captains too, and will remain so until that super-limited new partworks mini will appear next year in all of three countries

The Bandai White Scar Intercessor has a one week pre-order starting 27 March.

**shadowsfm**

Space marine is kinda short in comparison to sister of battle

**shadowsfm**

Bandai ultramarine, imperial fist, and salamander, with McFarlane ultramarine

They look fantastic but still need to glue their elbow pads on

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Ahh! Here it is!

Rumour doing the rounds for the next wave from McFarlane.

Reiver and Genestealer, both with Artists Proof variants. Also new Megafigs….Big Mek, Meganob with Buzzsaw, Meganob with Shoota.

Sadly no sneakypeeky pics at this time.

Mystic Grotsnik predicts the Genestealer will be very popular.

**Mr_Rose**

Artists proof = unpainted? Something else?

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Yeah, the unpainted option.

I’m particularly keen on the Orkses.

**Stormonu**

GIMME GIMME GIMME

Finally, my Big Chap and the Gennie can shake ...erm, claws?

**endlesswaltz123**

The UM captain is £200...

I thought it might be a decent premium over the others but....

Wow thats nuts, Thats $550 Aud!

**No One Important**

He doesn't even come with a cloth and wire cape for maximum dynamic posing and his ammo feed is a bad joke. For that price, I expect much better.

**Nostromodamus**

The ammo feed is really bothering me on the captain. Looks more like a bead bracelet.

**hotsauceman1**

This ain't to far off from what Bandai charges for stuff usually

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

I’ll stick with the MacFarlane stuff, ta.

**Theophony**

240 in real $$$$

.

I’d be embarrassed to have that on a shelf near my models and mine aren’t that great looking.

**GaroRobe**

I saw people making fun of the price (It was circled), and thought it was because of the title. "Ultramarine Captain Action Figure", which I stupidly read as Ultramarine, Captain Action.

But then I saw the prize and it wasn't funny anymore.
