Brother Scruffy Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 .....Does anyone else see the tiny mustache? Now I can't not see it "My name is Lemartes,you killed my Primarch, prepare to die! " fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Honestly, I'm not going to get the BaC box (at least in the near future). Currently painting my fourth and fifth Tactical Squads, it is leaving me a little burned out when it comes to painting red marines and the thought of painting another 30 makes me wince. Due to my lack of time and the fact that I want to complete my Blood Angels before starting anything else (oh the naivety!), I will not be painting them up as anything else. I've also got Dark Elves, Eldar, House Delaque gang, Orks, Space Hulk and Talisman to get round to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Eldar?!? And you scolded me for Heresy Death Guard! Brothers, our Reclusiarch is a Xeno-sympathiser ;) Tasty chappy though. If I didn't have about 6 maybe I'd buy him... Although my chappy guard could always use more plastic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moggimus Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 All the BaC hype has made me think, I must have that boxed set, but taking a closer look at the miniatures, I don't really like them, which is odd because the forgeworld Mark iv stuff i do like, and surely they are the same right? But I dunno, they don't seem as detailed and just frankly don't look as good. Not to mention if you really wanna BA them up, 30 marines worth of upgrades is pricey. Getting a bit off topic here huh, still love the chaplain, and by the way, thanks for pointing out the moustache!!! Now I'm gonna have to call him Pepe.

The Orks came with the second edition 40k box sets (of which I have two sets ) and the Eldar arrived with those blue marines ~ seventeen years ago. I suppose not throwing them in the bin can be considered sympathetic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 3 Chaplains so far ( 1 jump and 2 foot) and am currently elaborately kit bashing a 4th. I have parts earmarked for at least 3 more and an unpainted metal Lemartes. I'm still going to buy this new one. (May have a problem...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always the sell-on-eBay-and-buy-more-Blood-Angels option..? Or if you're bored of BA something you can fluffily ally with them - which I suppose you can with Eldar at a push...

Dont-Be-Haten Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I have found the mustache! Too bad I already named him before I saw this. I just can't justify Gomez, Mario, or Ron.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Hmm, if he had two guns I'd go with El Mariachi. He didn't actually have a mustachio, but you get the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjr Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 That Chaplain model is so cool that I almost don't care about the price tag. What however might prevent me from actually painting it, is that I don't feel my painting skills would ever do it justice. Heresy! Seriously though, if you're worried about that, find someone who's skills you respect and ask them to paint it for you for a few beers or barters or something. I've done that for people on a budget before, but I don't think I'm that great of a painter either. I see your point, but I won't be fielding anything I haven't painted myself. At least that's how I feel for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I dunno, they don't seem as detailed and just frankly don't look as good. I thought that too on the basis of some of the scanned rulebook pics from BaC itself. But then I saw some pics of the bare plastics that someone was selling and they look very good and crisp. They are well detailed but they are in very plain armour with no "bling". That will probably appeal to some but not others. https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/11988481_1005442369479331_8224895651343946435_n.jpg?oh=3194aaf7db7b3f83d7fcfc1a1deb3fe6&oe=56B12C69 https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/12243436_1005442386145996_4028384921410992550_n.jpg?oh=248d62f5e55d6d2a11e9c1f4594ffdf5&oe=56F9D8FC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moggimus Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Yeah those close ups certainly do make them look a lot crisper, not sold on the studs though, the angled ones on the shoulder pad look terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Yeah those close ups certainly do make them look a lot crisper, not sold on the studs though, the angled ones on the shoulder pad look terrible. They're the same as all plastic studded shoulder pads. A symptom of plastic injection moulding. Can be somewhat rectified by paint... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moggimus Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Doesn't seem to be a problem with forgeworld resin versions, I wonder what's different about the process that causes that issue. Not that it is a big issue, like you say it can be rectified, could even just shave some off with a file to make it round. I worry that I am turning into a forgeworld yuppie!

LutherMax Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 The difference is plastic is injection moulded – so two unyielding metal halves coming together to form the whole. Resin is (I think) made in rubber moulds which allow more give and undercut – but less precision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Have to agree, I prefer the FW "interpretation". http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/resources/catalog/product/600x620/99590101181_MkVICorvusArmourPack01b.jpg Having said that, a little work with a file will probably go a long way.

Is that some kind of vibe now, everyone must aspire to become Astrowrath? Or is that merely painted on(fingers crossed)? It's a nice try, but the overall pose looks like it would need a ton of cutting, re-fitting and glueing it all back together. That foot has a very painful angle (ever landed like that after a jump? Say goodbye to your ankle!) and the infernus pistol arm's just hanging there, looking sad and doing not much more. Digging the crest, the shoulderpad and the raised leg(can I have two please? :D ), though. I always felt many marine miniatures looked rather scrawny and fragile rather than bulky and intimidating. I think this one looks the part, a bit top-heavy, which is obviously due to the wings and shoulderpads. Nice overall feeling to it. The wings look cool, too (on an Eldar ).

marine7312000 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Because the model is being released outside of the original box it came in but as a generic terminator captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnorriSnorrison Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 everyone must aspire to become Astrowrath? Mephiston started it, not Astorath. I like it. Yeah, which makes even less sense. Meph is a Librarian, not a chaplain. I don't mind it on Meph since it's been that way for a looong time, but seeing it on PFI chaplains now makes it less special. That, and it seems like a feeble attempt at representing "that dual nature" of the Blood Angels. Red crosses apparently don't do it anymore, now we must give more hints to allies and foes alike It's like that Chaplain's strutting around the battlefield waiting for an imperial soldier going like: - 'Hey, there, do the Blood Angels have some sort of duality going on, by chance?' And he'll be like.. - 'Oooh, you noticed! Thanks, we happen to do so! It's actually pretty hardcore, I don't wanna talk about it. We've had it before it was cool!' Damn hipsters. I'll probably get the model, but it's going to be one hell of work to get that left side all fixed. Snorri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
