Blimey, that's impressive!

[von Lucky]

Haven't seen if it's LR6 or something else.

[3 fingers]

ebay is completely flooded with the figures if you are interested.

Yes I thought it would be,but Mr sensible head also  pointed out that I didn't really have storage either

News just in: GW fans get first new dragon in over 20 years. Howls of disgust heard as far as north pole.

My biggest beef with it is that it's obscured by all that irremovable(?) sigmarine armour. Otherwise it's pretty good, and refreshingly different for GW.

The chaos dwarf team has bull centaurs although they look kit bashed from chaos horses. The tails are completely wrong. The teams do look cool though.

Wings also look to be attached mid torso?

[Elbows]

Looks okay...but this is irrelevant to me.  The AoS (while the rules have been well received) have been far and away the most expensive and over-the-top styled stuff I've seen from GW. This is odd since it clashes heavily with their cheaper, simpler moves in other areas.

It looks silly with armor, and will likely be $200 USD or something.  Don't care:Engaged.

The armour makes it look like something out of Dino Riders.
Got my Genestealer cultists in the mail; they might be the most finely detailed plastics I've ever seen.

[Vladimir Raukov]

Does that dragon have a 'meh' aura? Because that's what I'm feeling right now. That's good about the genestealers, though.

[Mason]

 

That dragon!

I know it's daft to take opinions about a model personally, and I wish people would grow thicker skins, meself. But it gets fairly frustrating when people ridicule a thing without giving any reason for it.

I think this is one of the best dragons GW has produced in years. Not the best evar, but one of the best by GW. I agree that the armour doesn't look great, but underneath it is something sculpted by the guy who sculpted the plastic carnosaur - someone who knows what he's doing. I'm waiting to see the sprues, see how much of the armour is moulded on and what are separate pieces. I'm pretty sure those leg pieces can be left off, at least.

Just because the sculptor is great, doesn't mean the concept is not stupid.

I mean, look at obliterators and mutilators. Objectively great and well-done sculpts, but they just look dumb as a sack of bricks.

If it wasn't for the wings between the legs i'd pick it up and convert it,but i can't help but imagine it flying with its front abd bag sagging in the air like a big heavy bumbling daddy long legs.

For me, it's just the umpteenth example of GW figures looking more and more like Rescue Heroes:
