To be honest I am not totally blown away by these miniatures. I hoped for more dynamic pose for company master and now he reminds me of that of Ezekiel.

 

as for Librarian it seems that he lost his neck somewhere - i know his head is pointed downwards but still look strange to me.

 

In contrary the Chaos marines on leaked pictures are far better IMO. I will wait for official pictures - maybe they look better.

Perhaps their a gorget? It is hard to see.

 

Not to be pessimistic, but the Master actually looks digitally rendered to me. Especially the background. But maybe it's just a print behind it or something. It just doesn't look quite right. Perhaps it's from the cover something when they super impose them onto terrain.

I said this on the News-Rumors board about the images:

I'm not too terribly excited by the DA models shown, the librarian is nice but seems a little off, body-wise, and the Company Master, while nice is really just more of the same. Hopefully the large chapter symbol isn't actually sculpted on the robe/tabard. The Chaos stuff looks awesome, IMO, and gives me a lot of hope for the Terminators included in the starter set.

 

As to them being too detailed for snap together plastic: as I recall, Space Hulk's Terminators were mostly solid plastic molds

with only a couple of single attachment point sections (heads, arms) with no real posability and look how detailed they are.

I think the sleeves on the Marines looks a little silly. We don't need stinkin' big voluminous sleeves.

A good point, you can make high dynamic and detail poses and people wouldn't worry about customizing as much. However, and I have no idea of the answer, but to sculpt 5 unique models as opposed to 3 very vanilla looking ones and reusing 2 sculpts seems like it's the cheaper route. Then again, we are playing at least $100 for this box of plastic toys.

 

I certainly hope the Deathwing are awesome. I like the Librarian - I mean, he's only a basic Librarian no need for him to be too over the top. The physic hood fitting over his actual hood is a nice touch.

Looking good. Now if only they would confirm a release day so I can book the day off work. <_<

It's something.

 

Now why would you need to get off work? Will we not be able to order these online? One of the models is noted as being limited edition - will they stop putting him in the box set at a certain point and just add something generic? Or is it just limited because you can only get him in the set?

I don't think that is a Libriarian. He is Green. If he was a DA Libby, then he would be blue, with DA Green Shoulder pads if I am not mistaken. It's hard to tell. Is he blue or green? Please correct me if I had made any mistakes please.

 

Relearning everything all over again.

 

*edit* On a bigger pick I see the blue now. Thought it was green at first on the smaller pic.

Here's the Chaplain.

 

Snagged link on Dakka.

Thought it was Chaos at first. Not sure if I like the flame chimneys. It reminds me of what Witch Hunters should have been like. Just guess I will have to get use to it.

 

Now I wonder when will the moaning and crying start that there is DA iconorgraphy on the minis.
