There did used to be a bastion building that cropped up in many oft he old 40k white dwarf photos that was that shape.
Maybe he saw that, thought it might have been a product, googled it, couldn't find it, thought it was oop, decided to try and con people and didn't realize how wrong he was.

Do you not remember the extensive wooden range that GW did just before failcast?

I particularly like that it has 'superb colour'

[manic _miner]

 I know that Ziterdes did one like it.

 Have you seen the plastic Eldar riding the creatures?They are from the old Epic 40K Tyranid range.

"Woodcast"

I carve miniatures from plaster, how long before gw sue me for copying their new wonder material?

[nic-e]

I suppose that sack of plaster of paris i have is going to be seized and made into the new sisters of battle now? 

[Dr.Falkenhayn]

  so good



He should invest in a Box of Plastic Skellies and glue them allover the Castle,apply a Red Wash and list it again as Khorne Bloodskull Warcastle of Terrorhammerdoom or something

I liked that he painted it silver, for that genuine "OOP Lead" look! 

[beefcake]

Had a look at some of his other stuff. He's also selling warhammer citadel real stone walls

Not oop though as I'm sure you can still pick up stones on many a beach, riverbed, driveway, ground.

I thought about that as I typed it. They changed that image for ratskins, just before they pulled SG development, into more generic post-apoc barbarians. I'm still not sure if it was a great idea, removing any (most) iffy stereotypes, but sucking the flavour out too.

I think you put your finger on the problem with the "new" Ratskins... Along with awkward posing, I didn't think particularly highly of the Fanatic/Specialist Games re-sculpts for Necromunda.

The best were definitely the Goliaths IMO, as they actually had some nice models that fit well with the original aesthetic and gave players flexibility with regards to weapons. They also got much better Juves this time around, looking like Keith Flint from The Prodigy.

Close second were the Enforcers, which were not-Arbites-and-definately-not-Dredd, but looked quite good nonetheless and had fair weapon options too.

The worst were harder to choose, but include: Scavvy ghouls/dogs, Ratskins, most of the Redemptionists, most of the new bounty hunters.

The new Orlocks were okay I guess, but were totally different from the Perry originals. The new Van Saar were a reasonable match style-wise with the Gary Morley originals, but so-so heads and awkward poses spoiled them.

Mostly though, I didn't see the purpose in re-imagining the established models. Aside from being a dick move to those that already had gangs, they would have done much better if they had simply added more options to the original range (which had few melee and special weapon options on the whole).

Then again, their approach to the minis was the same as the rules - fix some stuff that's moderately inconsequential, ignore the parts that definitely need a lot of help (like the wonky quality of the various skill tables).

I'm looking forward to seeing the Pro-Painted Warhammer Shrubbery, made with real limited edition aquarium plants.

[Modhail]

Funny you should say that... I clearly remember GW releasing, around the time of the plastic Catachans first release, selling "Jungle Plants" that were evidently repackaged aquarium plants.

I need to notify the people at Stuff of Legends that there's a genuine Citadel uncatalogued terrain item on the market
