Don't know what I'd use it for but I want it.

Yeah, that's very good!

It's really pricey though. Would you pay that for a GW terminator? That would seem to be thye equivalent....
Is there any word on the materials?
I'm assuming they're resin, will they be released later in metal or not?
They're nice but 22 quid...

I really like the look of it but the price is to high for the size of it I think.

Inso · « **Reply #5 on:** September 01, 2011, 08:54:25 PM »

I agree that it is expensive...and I wish that it was cheaper...but on this occasion, I feel that I am pretty blind to the price.

It is a thing of beauty

hmmm

what about a 28mm mech game?

Yet to see anything from them that I want to paint.

Is it just me?

Oh, and grossly overpriced. Then again, if I really wanted to paint something they produce, I might think it was worth it. And they certainly seem to be popular.

Guess we can't all like the same things.

Are there rules for Sedition Wars yet?

It some how says 'Mk.1 Tactical Dreadnought Armor with Flamer and Power Fist' to me... (the yellow armour resembling Westphalia Chris' Imperial Fists does add tho that..)

186 DKK x 5 to field just a single squad = DKK 930 + postage, and we're looking at at least DKK 1000.

I guess, for a single Squat/Forgefather dreadnought or ancient battle suit it could be worth it... if it comes in a slightly cheaper metal version.

Im with Inso on this - absolutely a must have (already ordered in fact!). By KW too!

Argonor · « **Reply #11 on:** September 02, 2011, 07:56:54 AM »

It's not that I don't like it -it's just too expensive for what it is. I'd rather buy 20-30+ plastics for the same amount...

Entirely underwhelmed as with most of their overrated sculpts..Mike's best work was with Games Workshop but since then I have seen little to impress me...no real originality and as has been mentioned the price indicates they think they're better than they are!

Moving furniture or perhaps carrying your mum's shopping back from the shops.

I'll agree with most of that but this particular sculpt is by Kev White (Hasslefree)...but I would suspect that the concept came from the McVeys.

I agree that it has echoes of the old style dreads from the 80s/AT43 mechs but I don't view that as a bad thing.

I think that the price is the real sticking point for a lot of people...with something that expensive, you feel that you have to REALLY like it to buy it so any doubts will mean that it remains un-bought.

I wouldn't say that the sculpt was uninspired...just utilitarian and I quite like the rustic nature of the design but I guess it isn't to everyone's taste.

Even I have to really think about whether I want to buy one because of their price...and I like them a lot.

(I'm tempted to buy a bunch of arms and build the rest myself though...)
