I like the mini and the plasma pistol is a riff on the old one.

I overall like the mini but Jesus wept its expensive and its cost to hire for games is overkill.

Uh, to be honest the gun on the Bounty hunter Beastman reminds me more of a hairdryer..

Maybe its a plasma hairdryer with high setting for melting things, low for hair. Drying.

He is a Beastman.. so maybe he needs it to be Multi-function...

Just has to remember to be careful with his settings selection.

Dial on the side :

- Dry
- Fluff dry
- Ranged plasma burst

You think there is any other reason Escher would hair* this guy ? :>

That won't be necessary, really,  let me get it for you 

Haircare aside, it is a bit busy, and ok its nice but, its not quite.. something, it does not have it.

I think a less frantic paintjob would calm things down a lot, less extreme highlights and fewer scritches & scratches on every surface. I understand why they do it - for showing extra detail in close-up photography - but I reckon a subtler bit of colouring-in would make a big difference.

Cool that rules are free, but I hoped we will get his card in the box with him!

...a Fighter Card is included

You do!  


As far as pricing goes he is a bit pricey but not necessarily that much more expensive than some resin casts from other manufacturers. Hasslefree's resin masters are around 10/12 quid not including VAT for example (yes I know they're master castings and FW are shit and HF are great and GW are the Evil Empire  ).

[AWu]

Thats cool then. I would be pissed off after I will pay 18 pounds for him (and lets be realistically here - I will pay 18 pounds for this guy.. probably twice )


I like the model a lot but dont like the gun. There is slight chance I will buy some cheap Harlequin with plasma pistol of the RT era bunch and transplant...
To make him more like his original RT self.

Any Oldhammerers recognise the pistol from some old Adventurer or whatnot? It has a distinct whiff of Bob Naismith's 'stick random shapes together' weapon design process.

[Citizen Sade]

Nope, looks like one of those cheap, rechargeable MiniVacs to me. Maybe he’s the cleanup crew?

[Gibby]

But guys, he's smoking a cigar! That makes up for everything else!

[AWu]

Everything got them this time around. There are two cigar smoking Goliath head in each N set.

I really like the Beastman, he'll be added to my Renegade Guard force even if I don't end up using him for Necromunda as intended.

At £18 though it does sting abit but it'll make a nice treat to myself as I'm such a good boy hehe

It's based on the plasma pistol from the old beastman mini, http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Beastmen

He's here to take out the trash!

Well if it is, they fucked it up because that looks like a plasma pistol and this doesn’t.

It's wearing a cunning disguise to help the bounty hunter sneak up on people without them realising who he is?
