Nephaston Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Love me some dangly models, but on the Overlord front I would've preferred a fully fledged multipart kit instead of this being the 4th(?) plastic overlord.

Matrindur Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) I have to say I don't like it. Its a nice model and if it was some special named character or event model it would be great but I don't want crazy special effects and a half translocated body on my generic Overlord If I was looking at this guy and the new Imotekh I would say this one is the named character and Imotekh is a generic one Edited October 30, 2023 by Matrindur Sky Potato, phandaal, Inquisitor lorr and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grailkeeper Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 He looks great, but I'll bet thats from onlyfrom very specific angles. Armchair Warlord and Karhedron 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrawlingCleaner Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 "It's nothing personel, Lifeform" This is such a sick model, also the oldest rumour engine solved! Tyriks, MithrilForge, SpaceDwalin and 3 others 5 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firestorm40k Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Again, the design studio's use of negative space on their miniature design is excellent I've already got two Overlord miniatures, but I may have to add a third..!

Lexington Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 It's a neat idea, but...like...you basically can't even tell what the model is even supposed to be at first glance, which seems like a problem.

CL_Mission Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I like it a lot. I can agree that this is the sort of model that would fit something like an anniversary or special event better than being the generic release. I like the concept and I think they did a good job with it, also I'm reminded I need to pick up a new copy of the Overlord with scythe sometime. A proper multi part Overlord set would have bee great though. Firedrake Cordova 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noserenda Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Its clever, but not really a pose id want on my army general, or any kind of leader really, definitely agree itd make a great promo model rather than a line item.

Bouargh Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Nice mini. Yet, still the same tactical (plascrete) rock anyway... I do not think this was so necesary here... My only bemol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfTheLion Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 It's a very nice model, I'll definitely pick one up for my Necrons. As far as what the army needed, new Lokhust destroyers would have been it, but I do like this a lot. jimbo1701 and MithrilForge 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I think this new miniature does look interesting, imho the indomitus one is the one truelly deserving the name. ( though its highly subjective ) And it feels as if this new one almost should have been something different/new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Not just this guy - a lot of newer models look very busy and confusing. Seems to be the result of using CAD and maybe focusing on increasing the level of detail at the expense of visual fidelity.

lhg033 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Nice model but as others have said, this would have been a better subscription/anniversary model. New plastic destroyers might have been a nicer release (just sold off my old ones then found another in the loft) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrox Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I like it. Don't think the paint job does it any favours, would like to see what the community comes up with MithrilForge, Doctor Perils and Hathor42 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irlLordy Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 It does look cool, but I would have preferred a generic Overlord which could make any of the existing wargear, not another Overlord with fixed loadout. I'm also hoping the reason it hasn't been released for so long isn't that it's an absolute pain to build like the flayed ones or psychomancer. I guess this also means the lokhust lord is moving to legends in the new codex, I doubt GW will bring back a finecast upgrade kit for it.

Redcomet Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Nice model for a diorama mini, or celebration model, but as a wargaming piece it is terrible N1SB 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Marshal Posted October 30, 2023 Author Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) Conceptually I quite like it. Visually unless you're looking at it from the side, it looks more like he's using an anime powerup than in the process of teleporting. I think if they had to insist on it being so D E T A I L E D they should have 'removed' more parts of his body to really sell the effect that he's vanishing.

Toxichobbit Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 (edited) It's a nice model, but almost all of the new Necrons have been. However, it's a complete waste of a release slot when there's already been 4 plastic Overlords (3 still available) and Lokust Destroyers, Shard of the Nightbringer & Shard of the Deceiver are rocking models that are coming up to 24 years old. If they aren't with this Codex release, they could be coming up to 30 by the time another Necron Codex rolls around. Come on GW, sort your out. Ancient models first, then you can sculpt a million variations of each character like you do with Primaris.

But yes, I completely agree. Would also have made more sense as the 40th anniversary model too. At least Necrons have been in the game more than 5 minutes, unlike Leagues. Hell, this Overlord could have been for any promotional event rather than a standard Codex release. HolyPestilience 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xirix Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Eh, was somewhat hoping for a multi-part Necron Overlord as per a rumour, this seems... fine, consider me whelmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
