I've never really cared about Talisman.  I know it has a charm of the old days, but as a game it's pretty meh.  I'll be skipping this one (though it could sell well if it sticks to the Old World and actually releases some new plastic figures).

They'll have to go some way to make the figures any worse or the art any more naff than the FFG version...

Is it actually any fun to play?

I think the FFG artwork is rather nice on all the Talisman sets. The models are 98% shite admittedly, but there are a few good ones in the last couple of sets (for bendy plastics anyway).

I agree.  It's fun the first few times but then you realise there are not very many meaningful decisions to be made.  And it's very easy for a group of experienced players to stop anyone winning.  I've seen games go on for days with the winner being the last player to lose the will to keep going.

Triumvirate of the Primarch up for pre-order - pre-order

Maybe it's a sign of the times, but £55 for 3 figures doesn't actually sound too bad

However, given that the primarch is on a 60mm dia base, that's one large figure

£44 from Wayland.

I rather like the two chaps with the primarch. In fact I prefer them to him.

Cue the outrage at the price tag or the 'it's not what it was in my day' comments.

I really don't like all the fussy detail on most of the recent models from GW.  That Primarch looks like a right mess.

Um £55.  Wow.

Guilliman's expression looks like as if he's smelling something really unpleasant...

[The Voivod]

He's smelling heresy!

I agree. I'm not a huge fan of the Prinarchs,  in particular his head. The other two are pretty nice. In particular Cypher. He's needed a good model.

Five minutes experiencing the Imperium in the 40th Millennium would cause any primarch to make that face

[Predatorpt]

You don't need to use the face, just build it the helmet version



I read that the parts can be easily swapped anyway.

I do prefer that

Helmeted version much nicer

[The Voivod]

Outrage at the price tag and 'it's not what it was in my day' comment, as per Stone-cold-lead''s request.

But I do like the model.
It is what I think a primarch should look like and partly makes me wish Sanguinius wasn't dead-dead.
Cypher is pretty cool to.
The grey knight is, well I like grey knight, but he's not very special a grey knight in my eyes. Still nice enough.
