WETA + Warhammer

Yeah, 3D printing is churning out AWESOME minis these days. Call whatever you want, but I think companies like Games Workshop drives a lot of people to it. The stuff people sell on Etsy is crazy lol

Ok, did a search and some ppl have their Abaddon statue now and also the first two or three type of Helmets replicas are in stock.

Abaddon vs Titus size comparison.
Titus was closer to edge of table so i shifted abaddon a bit closer also. Back leg is approx same stance so the comparison line is below that foot.

1:6 Height diff equals his terminator armour.
Base diameter about the same.
Paint quality seems on par with the Titus statues.

Some more pictures.
I am happy the sword looks to be same resin too (instead of a cheap plastic look).

Thanks for the pics!

The whole body with arms, legs and head are one piece.
Both hands, cape, shoulder pads, skull rack are loose parts.

Found one person who received a broken leg, the rotocast is quite thin (hence the 21kg for such large statue).
His version also has some airbubbles in it.




This is the Khorne Berzerker helmet.
Saw a few pictures. Colors and black wash not quite the same as promo pictures. There are prob more than 557 each helmet.
As you can read on the box those are 1:6 too.
Weta told me 'non scale' but i calculated they are close to the 1:6 and indeed box says the same.

Kept my eye on yotube but overlooked the first vids, but when you add 'unbox' there are four youtube vids already.

This is how you do not open 'statue boxes'.
Rip and tear, plus open upside down.

Nice unboxing in 4K

Tabletop man unboxing his one and only grail statue (assembling the parts in correct order).

What can be seen in these vids is that the cape is prob pvc like material (still nice leather texture, but looks lightweight, which is ok).
The swords blade looks a bit thicker than promo. thats why i think/thought this is resin too. But maybe it is also pvc type or a combo (blade pvc and hilt+hand resin).

I don't have any space left, but really like large scale warhammer.
Just ordered the Abaddon with free shipping. Should have it within 2 weeks.

Hopefully receive a prestine one, bcs bought at random unknown store (but it was in stock for normal price).

I got in both Abaddon and Titus last week. I'm new to Warhammer through the video games but when I saw these two pieces I had to get them. These are the only WETA pieces I have, but have to say they really are amazing. I have them sitting next to my Prime 1 Doomslayer and I'd say their paint quality and details are better.

Welcome to the forum Arkham. These are the only two Weta statues for me too. Quite expensive but the Titus regular came with both heads and it was obvious they made the effort with quality, details and perfect paint applications. So had to bite the bullet for this new line.

Imo the Celestine is a bit less detailed and the figure itself looks to be at the small side. Hope they announce one awesome figure soon and then im prob done and switch to 3dprinting some of my own models to match.

Yeah i do not play tabletop or make any of the small models either.
For me it started with playing (hooked on) WH40k games like;
DoW / WinterAssault/ DarkCrusade/ Soulstorm.
Then we modded a lot of this stuff, many hours multi playing with my brother which was great.
Then playing through DoWII / Chaos Rising/ Retribution. At first skipped DowIII but got it for few dollars later.

Started some of these games again when the brutal WH40k Space Marine was released. And prob Space Marine 2 end of this year when all add-ons are ready.
