Evicerator Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I guess I'll be the only one that says "meh" to this... It's almost as though GW doesn't play the armies they make minis for. a BA Captain... NO ONE uses captains in BA armies. Even if they did, powerfist on said captain... seriously... I understand the mini can be used for other purposes like Sternguard or Tactical Sarge (again... less than 10% of BA armies include those squads...) Nostalgically - it's a fantastic mini. The sculpt is also one of the better poses/detailed sculpts I have ever seen. I remember starting 40k in 2nd and seeing the artwork on the box was what inspired me to play BA. The part that screams out for me is that sword scabbard. It'll make for an interesting mini to collect, but will likely not see much use.

It'll make for an interesting mini to collect, but will likely not see much use. the last line says it best... not everyone uses every mini in a game... i use about half, some are out dated some have never seen a battle, i make em cuz they are fun:) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244273-games-day-exclusive-figure-2012/page/2/#findComment-2955167 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 The model is quite nice, but for some reason I just can't seem to love the paint job. I think it's the yellow. Now if only I could get down to Chicago somehow...

VAGABOND Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 This colour scheme reminds me of old school Blood Angels and the pose looks like it's a revamp of the infamous Captain Cortez model back in 3rd Edition.

Terminatorinhell Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Wow this beats the ones from the last two years by far! Definitely will use him as a sergeant without and BA icons.

Baal Dropout Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Aargh, I want one too ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244273-games-day-exclusive-figure-2012/page/2/#findComment-2957937 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamaNagol Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Will be buying 3 for conversion material. It's a fantastic model and EXACTLY what they should be doing for Games Day's. Finecast is really allowing them to produce some fantastic display pieces, regardless of the casting quality issues. Obviously it is only of use on the table as a Sergeant. But it will be a fantastic Sergeant!

Venerable Jazzman Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 am i the only one who thinks the model looks like an old cover art from the previous soft cover codex Dem, it's not the BA Codex, it was the Codex Imperialis book and the old (2ed?) box cover http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1sx0DvF-kLU/TFa6KQoXD1I/AAAAAAAAAKw/VoeJ97dVO2c/s1600/codex-imperialis.jpg I wonder if I can convert him... http://slorker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/867327-hello_kitty_in_warhammer_40k_super.gif Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244273-games-day-exclusive-figure-2012/page/2/#findComment-2963495 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruthven Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Is there any information on whether or not you actually have to attend Games Day to get the miniature? I know in years past they have mailed it to me with my ticket. I'll gladly buy a ticket if I get the model in the mail. making it to the event is almost impossible for me, however.
