Sception Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 There's a new 3rd party bits seller on ebay. Goes by the name of 'evilcraft'. Torsos, legs, heads, shoulder pads, bolters so far. No arms. Ornate, but not mutated. Pretty nice looking, although the poses & proportions aren't quite fantastic, and the backpacks look to be closer to the current CSM scale, rather than the reduced DV backpack size (which, IMO, looks better overall). If the new model rumors don't pan out, i may have to give them a try. Even if they do, some of the shoulder pads, torsos, & heads look pretty nice. http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z142/Malisteen/Evil-Craft-Legs-with-Body-Backpack_zpsc3c30032.jpg website: http://evilcraft.eu/ ebay store: http://stores.ebay.com/evilcraftminiatures/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jeske Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 "Denying a thing is one of the ways to make it better" Made me smirk and that doesn't happen too offten outside of my job . Models are great , specialy when one looks at ze old plastic csms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyl- Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Those are really sharp. I feel cynnical to wonder if the models are actually cast to that high of a quality in bulk, but they are quite on par with the current new model lines. Perfect if you think of chosen as more mutated and regular marines as basically not mutated. (except some of their mouths look a little.. well there's not a family friendly way to say what I think.) I hope they come out with much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Heinrich Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Man I'd love to grab some of these up, too bad they're in Poland and my hobby muse refuses to wait for international shipments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctus Cornix Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 If I'm perfectly honest, the only thing I like from these guys is the legs. The rest is just sort of... well, meh.w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gezabutla Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I think the legs and torsos look great. However when it comes to conversions and customisation, they would likely be difficult to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Definitely on the same line as the DV models, so that's cool. I doubt I'd buy them however. It's mostly a non GW/FW thing for me. I like to use the official stuff as much as I can. The head sculpts have a very Sons og Horus look to them. That's pretty cool. Prices aren't too bad either...

Chaeron Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 There's a thread about this by the creators if you've not seen it in the News section - they've been posting WIPs etc. I'd like to try and get some at some point - depending on value etc.!

The ebay store sells them for about $12 for a set of parts. $12 torsos, $12 heads, $12 legs, $12 packs... no arms yet. In my opinion they don't mesh well with the current CSM aesthetic to be used as bits, and they're too expensive to build whole models with them. They are nice, though.

Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 So if the arms are also $12, then we are looking at $60 US for a 'box' of 5. Not a very good deal, if you ask me... However, I do think they are making some great bits that, as I stated before, will look good with the possible new kits we may or may not be seeing soon. I'll be watching these guys either way.

FENRISÚLFUR Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Hopefully once they get the arms done they will sell a whole kit, at a much reduced cost. I could understand it being more expensive than the current CSM kit, as they are a small company and more than likely don't have the production capabalities the GW does, but at their current price (about $10USD per model) they are way to expensive to buy in large quantities. That said, they are absolutely amazing sculpts and I wish I could afford them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyl- Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Such an unfortunate price. I can't help but think that the production wouldn't actually be all that expensive once you get around the overhead, which also shouldn't be terrible. If these were cheaper than GW models, they'd probably sell big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FENRISÚLFUR Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 If these were the same cost as GW they would sell big! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron_Within Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Yup, the price is far too high but the sculpts are lovely and far more the 'baroque' appearance I like. I think I'll stick to Anvil Industries Steam Lords for now - they give the other end of the spectrum I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaeron Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 They look to be a similar price to say Kromlech or Maxmini though - give or take. Completely agree though - if they can get a combi-set together, for a reasonable price, watch it fly ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RolandTHTG Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Found a review someone did.
