Praetor of Calth Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Awesome model, I hope this and Slambo are indicative of a return of the "Collector's range" in a wierd sense. Ie; Sculptor's personal projects getting cast up and released for the general public. Would anyone mind telling me if he's resin or plastic please?

depthcharge12 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 GW’s actions have, as of late, been pure and utter fan service. What’s next? Squat Land Trai- *gasp* What have I done? Schlitzaf, Plaguecaster and Parweke 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isolia Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 (edited) Next should be Macharius or Schaeffer's Last Chancers redone and with rules, but that's just me and Christmas time. Maybe Gaunt. I find it funny that we can soon field the Stallone/Sheen (platoon-sheen) old model alongside the new Schwarzenegger/Lundgren variant, a few more years and we'll have our Expendables 40k :D Edited November 24, 2017 by Isolia lordhellblade, Brother_Bethor, Jarl Kjaran Coldheart and 4 others 7 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandMagnus Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I need to get my hands on Marbo... And sargeant Harker. Hell might as well make an IG army while I'm at it.

Corswain Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Next should be Macharius or Schaeffer's Last Chancers redone and with rules, but that's just me and Christmas time. Maybe Gaunt. I would very happily build an entire army around the Last Chancers or the Tanith First and Only. So cool. Wouldn’t need too many kits either. Make it happen GW!!!! Please..... Marbo is great but I do feel like he’s gonna make the rest of the Catachan line look even goofier by comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ie; Sculptor's personal projects getting cast up and released for the general public. Would anyone mind telling me if he's resin or plastic please? Since he's from GW it's 99% likely it's a plastic model. ^^ Dunno about that, while I certainly hope so, Slammbo, Centos, and Veridyan were GW too and are all resin... The point is either that nowadays we have to put up with models being released late because New GW apparently feels it can't trust 3rd parties to not make a Sly Marbo model in the 6-odd weeks since the codex came out but the model wasn't ready yet, so he's not in the codex, or GW is deliberately staggering model releases for brand new codexes (which are therefore rendered almost immediately incomplete), again, for the same reason - fear of 3rd parties, and no one'll complain because hey you get the rules in the box anyway. (Which I think is your point). That's not how it works. At all. The IG book was printed months in advance (see immediate Commissar patch in reaction to a problem that only became apparent a few months after Index hit, once people actually painted enough conscripts). So, either GW knew Marbo would be delayed way back in May/June, and decided to delete him from book then, giving them clairvoyance powers, or Marbo was always slated to be released 'when he is done' and was delayed by GW power problems, like hauler. Plus, your argument doesn't even really make sense, because if Marbo was in the Codex, everyone would just think these are rules for his old metal mini and no one would have rushed to produce new one, as if a recaster wanted to make not-Marbo, they had plenty of time and opportunities to do it over entire last decade...

Your first point is fair. I don't think it requires clairvoyance however to know Marbo would be delayed; either he obviously was, hence why he's coming out now, or he wasn't and they've stockpiled him for later release, which gives no valid reason to drop him from the codex. Of course the codex is prepped months in advance; any releases for it should be too! I think (hope) that the delay was primarily down to the production problems, which are apparently severe. As for your last point, he could never have been in the codex just for the old model, as GW don't make rules in new codexes for entries without models, remember? If the rules were in the codex they would have to produce the model to accompany it, as they have done now. Look at Sergeant Bastonne; generic looking, meant to build your own to match your army, hence uncopyright-able, no model, so now no rules, so now no incentive for GW to bring him back...shame, as he was my favourite low-level dudesman.

Leif Bearclaw Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) Why???? I don't even. Is there some weird faustian pact GW have to follow that dictates the only resin releases are random, really cool single models/anniversary/celebration minis? I mean, if it was FW resin, that'd be OK, but I'm not trusting anything 'resin' from GW proper. Edited November 26, 2017 by Leif Bearclaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishagu Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) Last few of the most recent resin kits from GW I've purchased have been exceptional. 100th anniversary Captain and Cannones Verydian had absolutely no problems.

the jeske Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 All I know is that my friends Sambo got damged by the sun heat when he left him among his plastic models durning a weekend game break. If the resin is the same for w40k models, I would not advice to buy them in places where it is very hot or very cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascanius Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 It makes sense that it's resin, given the expense of creating a plastic mold, right? I mean, for all that people are talking about buying one just to paint, they're still only going to buy one. Dosjetka 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
