This was a bugger to find. You can see some nice snaps here.

Really nice Farseer took the sword, however many many lovely models.

Personally I'm torn between the troll (4th model), the amazing mounted High Elf banner or the sublime work on the High Elf cloak.

There's more pics of the day/event/models etc

here and here

worth digging through.

**lord_blackfang**

Awesome. That's ALL the Ork sprues now, finally.

Really? Its on the front page of TGN ;-)

The Grots look great. :-)

**budro**

based on this pic: http://www.gioconomicon.net/modules.php?name=coppermine&file=displayimage&album=97&pos=15 it looks like the nob box does have a pk in it.

**Scottywan82**

More than one!

Ha, actually that was just for the Golden demon stuff.
The other links were indeed heroically found on TTGN. Typical really, I bribe the Italian speaking lady at work to have a look for me, she finds the above forum as her brother plays, get home to post them and the same poxy links are on TTGN.

**ShumaGorath**

Excellent, there will finally be an affordable set of grots, nightgoblins are hard to convert.

**Gavin Thorne**

I love that Farseer, the dwarf vs. snotling (giving him the finger, no less!) duel, and the High elf with the cloak. Amazing work, all of it and certainly worthy of a GD...

**NinjaRay**

Wow, all that stuff looks amazing and I counted two Power klaws on the nobs sprue. I'm hoping I missed one, but It looks like you could make some wicked claws from all the big choppa Parts if you wanted to. Over all I"m very impress by these new Plastics. Now I'm all sad because I have to wait until January for them to be released.

**The Phazer**

That Farseer is amazing. Indeed, there's lots of very impressive GD miniatures there.

I miss the days of GW putting all of these up properly on their own website.

Yeah one of the Nobz on display had a Power Klaw. I doubt there will be a box of 5 Nobz without a single Klaw.

What I like is the three different weapons you can give the plastic Runtherd - whip, grabba stick and something else.

BYE

**MagickalMemories**

Hmmm.
Plastic Chaos Hounds, too.
Niiiice.

Eric

BTW... I checked out those GD minis.
I'm left with TWO thoughts:

1) That Dread is an AoBR dread! Wow!

2) Anyone want to buy all my paints, brushes, greenstuff and other modelling stuff? I just need superglue and clippers to clip stuff off the sprue. I don't think I even want to bother with mold lines anymore. :' (

looks like 2 klaws and 1 small buzzsaw arm (painboy?)

**Waaagh_Gonads**

Those grots are great. They will make a great resource for pistols for necro and =][=munda.

+1 agreement on the quality of the GD stuff. Excellent.

**BrookM**

Could it be that the runt herder might actually be getting a grot prod?

**Bignutter**

i can see painboy bitz on that nob sprue...sweet

**H.B.M.C.**

Can someone point out the Painboy bitz for me? I can't see them on the sprues.

BYE

**JD21290**

thought i would point out the painboys parts

(too small to be klaws)

HBMC, its next to the klaws on the sprue.
you can see the arm goin into a buzzsaw hand.

**Gordy2000**

I for one am simply gobsmacked those Stormboys are plastic. The level of detail is outstanding. The Nobz and Grots (plus Runtherd - excellent!) are also very good.

DE and Necron players should have much to look forward to if this is the level of detail GW is now putting out on plastics.

One has to wonder, if this is the standard they now set for plastic figures, why on earth aren't the SM Vanguard and Sternguard in plastic? Surely the numbers would justify it.

2 reasons.

1. They've mentioned in the past that they only have a limited amount of 'slots' to use to create new plastic kits for each new release. It's the reason why Jes' resculpt of the Eldar Jetbike wasn't made into a model. I think that the 2nd Wave gives them a bit of leeway (Orks are getting another 4 plastic kits - Nobz, Stormboyz, Grots, Battlewagon - one top of their original 4 plastic kits - Lootas, Boyz, Bikes, Trukk), but otherwise there's a limit on what they can do for each release.

2. Money. Plastic Moulds are expensive. More expensive than metal. They want to put everything in plastic, but the cost to do so is prohibitive.

Additionally they probably figure that, say, unlike Lootas and Stormboyz, there really isn't a huge amount of difference between Sternguard and Tac Marines, Vanguard and Assault Marines, so people who want lots can convert plastic ones.

Veteran marines look exactly like regular marines, just with more purity seals. They are more pure. Purity seals!

**warpcrafter**

The fact that the Grots come with a slaver makes them worth buying. I wonder if they also come with a herding-squig?

And what's something you always have heaps of? Purity Seals.

I just really wish they didn't have metal jump packs. Reminds me of the dark times of 2nd Ed, where Jump Packs were made of lead... *shudder*

Yes they do, you can see it in one of the pics of the painted unit. It goes on the slaver's base and he is holding it by the collar.

**War Grot**

I had one of my Grots write up where some of those discussed bits were located.

Afterwards he HAS to go back in his box.

"I woz one of da boyz, Oi!"

**Sicarius**

Wow, now that looks awesome. I like the new designs, a bit better than the ones that are out now. Is that a commisar's hat I can see one of then wearing?

**migsula**

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC work on the Ork line GW!!!

The best range of plastics out there. Hands down.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Can anyone confirm any health warnings about doing Orcs and Orks at the same time?

Physical, Mental...will it affect my wellbeing at all?

**Anung Un Rama**

Altough Grots aren't really very high on my priorities list, it's nice that they finally have plastics. And appearantly, they are about the same size as the Gnoblars, so you can do some head switching here and there.
There don't seem to be any Snazzguns on the Nob sprue, but if they have two-handed shootas and stuff, they can easily be converted.

**BrookM**

As I thought, single part models just like the Gnoblars, pity.
