EC Rumours

[TheHaplessHeretic]

Damn those boxes went nearly as fast as the Krieg box did (from Element I mean).

So the Infractors kit only has five unique bodies apparently.

They weren't especially impressed with some aspects of the box.

EC would want to be taller than average, the vain bastards. 5 unique bodies is also only an issue if you build them all exactly the same, cause simply going by pairs of arms you get 50 different poses, before even adding 9 different heads in different directons, or stealing some from the noise marines.

5 unique bodies was clear from GWs sprue share yesterday. Enough bits though so hopefully able to make them unique despite the similar posing. 

 

Also from 3-5 feet away I won't be able to see

Looks like the 10 copies they made have sold out, and everything else on their website. No surprise there.

 

I do like what they'd delivered it's just that they haven't really given us very much. 

 

Anyways, I think if you are painting these in the black and pink then start with a cream basecoat. Block the black in, and correct any areas. Trying to build up to pink from black to cream to pink will be a pain, imo. That's how I'd do it.

Got my copy through Wayland. Curious to see what the various creators come up with painting tutorial-wise over the next few weeks.

Yikes, that scale looks way off.

If they made ten copies then my FLGS got more than half.

 

More seriously use Army Painter's pink primer. It's almost a perfect match to Emperor's Children pink so you can clean up any mistakes with the black and it takes washes just fine.

The box lasted right at 5 minutes at the online retailer I use.  Hope folks who want it can get it but it doesn't look promising unless GW kept a lot for their website.

It's already gone in then U.S.
