Marshal Reinhard Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 It could also be that seeing an elite in normal colours made a whole lot of BT fans, not just us, wonder wether this was the case not. That response can come from just havin been asked the question enough times, which is not an unlikely scenario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Likely. The fact that Max was annoyed to have forgotten to mention it could be because he's sick of having spent the last 18 months telling people why? (18 months because that's how long ago these models were painted.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sete Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) "It might surprise some, but we are well aware of the background we create..."This comment gives me the feeling that some obnoxious individual(s) loudly and aggressively claimed otherwise, which mildly upsets me. Corbeil is a nice dude (he helped me with my paint scheme on IG), and Faleij probably is too. I hope that people didn't complain to/spam these two guys directly.Unlikely. I follow Corbeil on FB and insta and I dont see him at least getting any kind of spam. Probably just questions on warhammer FB page. Plenty of loud and obnoxious fans there, so much that I stopped following the page. I absolutely despise the wannabes that go around answering fans that have questions for team, or even worse are rude and condescending imbecils.Back on topic I wonder if and when we get some primaris char, they will have this type of tabard..

Hymnblade Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Likely. The fact that Max was annoyed to have forgotten to mention it could be because he's sick of having spent the last 18 months telling people why? (18 months because that's how long ago these models were painted.) That seems insanely far in advance. Is that really how long GW's production pipeline is, that they've already finished designing the models, produce at least a few, and paint the display copies over a year before announcing anything to the public?

Sete Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Sometimes we see rumour pieces that take ages to come out, so it's not entirely unlikely. It's a bussiness, they must have a scheduled plan to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redmapa Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Im pretty sure GW themselves have said several times before that their production schedule can be years in advance, hell they just said on stream that 9th edition artwork were commisioned 18 months ago and the Primaris range was also designed sometime in mid 7th if I recall correctly. I remember Maxime hinting that he wanted to work on Black Templars if GW gave him the opportunity and these new models are basically Black Templars in all but name so maybe he was working on them. As for their answer to the color scheme, I will never fully trust GW and how they handle our lore after the absolute disaster that was 6th/7th edition lore and the unnecessary retcons, they've gone back to being closer to the original lore but I wont ever trust them to do us right after claiming we worship psykers.

Sete Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) I can tell, from Maxime himself, he did not work on these models. I asked him about this. "Glad you like them, indeed they feel suitable for BT but that’s not because of me, I didn’t work on the range." And I dont think he worked in anything BT specific yet, but this is my assumption, and hopefully I'm wrong. My message: "Been following your work for a while, love the classic look you gave your Templars. Hope you had the chance to work on them for a future release. The Crusade is Eternal!" Reply: "Thank you, I would love to do this for sure." Obviously he is under NDA, but I secretly hope next year will be good for us. We got a tab on the store for some reason.

It wasn't aimed at Maxime, there were comments to that effect on the post which shared a screenshot of the twitch stream showing the Black Templar. It was into that thread that Maxime posted the above comment. Sete 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I bet the weirdest thing about working for GW is day one, sitting down with the new boss and being told not only the epic new stuff that you're about to work on, but also everything that is fine and will be released in the two year lag fill before what you do goes out. Imagine getting two plus years' worth of release announcements in one go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medjugorje Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I dont think so. I mean at first they said they painted JUST ONE model. It sounded like one model extra (because so many people want it). The whole process need that time but painting one model for this skilled painters is done in a few weeks if its their job. btw - i add him as a friend but never had contact. Never talked or wrote him. If I have something to say, i do it directly to GW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BitsHammer Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 Painting models still has a massive lead time to get photography and book layout done in time for it to go off to print in time. Not to mention GW is working on multiple projects ahead of time, meaning the "due date" for those models may have been far earlier than the book layouts would have needed to be finished.

Sword Brother Adelard Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 but not the paintjob. I think they said the whole creation of that model Yes the paintjob. The interview was with the head of the Eavy Metal team. He has nothing to do with starting the creation of the sculpting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medjugorje Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 in germany Helbrecht, Grimaldus, the emperors champion and the sprue are all sold out but the sword brethren are still aviable.

redmapa Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Its just a shortage of stock, its worth remembering that we are in a pandemic and it wasnt that long ago that GW production was stalled completely so they may just have run out of stock. In Canada only the Emperors Champion is out of stock and the Land Raiders and several Primaris HQs are also out of stock. I dont think this means anything except that GW hasnt recovered completely and will be slower in replenishing their warehouses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BitsHammer Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) EDIT: Got my threads mixed up. That said, if large units don't see bonus attacks for being large units, I'll be writing GW an email about the issues of melee units with 32mm bases and more than 10 models since AoS figured that out, but 40k hasn't (so far).

MegaVolt87 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 BT have always looked better with cream robes, ice white shoulder pads, metallic armour details/trim IMO. I have seen BT like that since 3-4th ed days, bone chest detail, black trim etc was a tired style even back at release, though iconic. Red splash for SB is a must though.
