  Not wondering there is no 360° View for that one   Not Gollum holding not Fish

also the Guy next to him looks more like early Mantic Stuff than high Quality GW

I don't really like the faux-native-american look of the Hobbit hunter orcs, and the recent GW painting style of boxy highlights don't help, IMO. It makes me appreciate the older plastics even more. Now the hobby butterfly is whispering at me to buy a load...

[Argonor]

Oh my. Surely, that can't be the work of a Perry? 

[Cubs]

No way.

Just ... no way.

You can clearly see how the amazing wonder-material that is failcrap has really helped to preserve the fine detailing of the chunky paddle-hands and faithfully captured the nuanced facial expression of the original sculpt. Truly, this model and it's medium are a marvel of the current golden age of miniatures that we are lucky enough to be experiencing!

ALL PRAISE THE FISH!!

With you - it's a technically amazing plastic model, but it feels soulless (if you'll pardon the pun).

That nails it on the head. Technically great but no spirit to it. Its the antithesis of something from Andy at Heresy or a Hasslefree fig.

I had a lot of fun assembling the skeleton horde plastics when I was a kid.
But now I am going with some nightmare legion metals I got off ebay. they will do nicely for spell effects.

Has anyone tried the ebob bendy metal skellies? I imagine they would be quite good anatomically.
But for that sort of thing I agree with other posters that the Heresy plastic ones could blow away the competition if tand when they get made.

You know what, I at least can respect the fact that Nagash isn't another one of those multi options sets. Could you imagine what that model could double as with a different head and staff? Cause I kind of don't want to.

With a robot head and a different staff, maybe he could be a terrible great Necron character too?

[YPU]

Actually I could live with that. The whole soules sculpt might kinda work then.

Yup, it was changed quietly a little while ago.

At first glance I thought that was a figure in bronze armour....

Someone mentioned the four horsemen of the apocalypse some pages back - looks like they weren't far off - link

£144.00 for 3 plastic models (or £48.00 each, providing the usual bulk buying discount).

Together with Nagash, over £200  - the End Times indeed
