Warhammer 40K is coming...

[Ulfnar]

So I played dawn of war 1 and 2 and really enjoyed them, haven't played 3, but from what i was reading Gabriel has become halfway between a terminator and a dreadnought now due to the horrific maiming he received apparently. That does explain why he looks so much bigger than a normal terminator does.

But yea, is this ideal for a choice of character for the first statue? no, he's like waaaay down the list for me. I think he's still fing badass looking though, and in the interest of helping ensure there are more made, i'm happy to buy him and cancel some other statues that i don't feel that strongly about that i had on PO.

I look forward to seeing what else they do from warhammer.

I just hope they do ANOTHER after is my fear, these kind of licenses are already so small at this kind of collecting and prices. We will see, I was hoping like most for a more standard 40k representation then a specific character as the opening act.

I own a a full IKEA case of Hordes/40k/War-hammer Fantasy pro painted miniatures from MANY professionals and friends that I hold VERY dear to my heart, as they are ALL custom specific for me. I hope Prime 1 comes through with another statue eventually, but I know with the amount of licenses they have we could be waiting a good while.

I mean there's more coming... No need to jump on the first thing available when even another company (HMO) has the license.

Also there are other large scale marines. FW made a 6 incher a while ago:



Also there's a guy who used to (or still does?) make 1/6 space marine figures.



So there are both existing and future representations, and I can't imagine what's coming won't be better then this ;p

Hell even Silver Fox (former Syco collectibles, so take your money and run guys :P) did something I like better. And their other collectibles shown so far are abysmal (mike tyson, derp t-rex, and someone failing at cosplaying snake plisken)

Hopefully still a SOB, or at least not dow III.

I agree with the issues of this line...

I'll realistically look at anything Dark Angels, however I probably won't be interested in anything else, especially at this size and price point.

It really is an odd choice though.

Surely, if there was ever a line that people would welcome variants, this is it. Put out a space marine with 4 or 5 switch out options (arms / weapons / heads), and release them painted up in various chapters.

Minimum effort, for maximum monies. Heck some people might buy multiples and thanks to the switch outs they won't all look the same.

that's assuming there's enough to buy just some of one chapter, making 100 of a few different chapters isn't great for p1 ><

Too many space marine collectors...
I like good adeptus astartes as much as the next guy, but there are so many other good factions in War40k that are as badass or more badass than space marines. orks, tyranids, eldar, IG, necron, chaos, tau, adeptus sororitas, ordo hereticus, chamber millitant of ordo malleus etc.

but yea space marines will likely be all that gets made cause that's what makes up 80% of War40k players, vanilla marines players.

[dao2]

well the first think they showed was a sob so I dunno about that :P

[Sathis]

I just want a Awesome Chaos Terminator with switch out mutant parts! I always had a thing for the tainted marine side of things.

We will see what is next, it still is a really beautiful statue, just not what I wanted to represent the universe.

I think everyone is right though, the world has a LOT of stuff to make, so it will be tough to satisfy everyone in one shot.

Well doing Big E himself and Horus or Abaddon would satisfy a lot of people ;p

Custodes are also pretty well liked all around the board I think, same for the Black Templars.

That's the strength of 40k - it has so much cool stuff. Also the problem when it comes to making high end statues. I am just hoping HMO's 1/6 line will be awesome. I love 1/6 a lot more tha 1/4.

He is up for order now (PRIME 1 Angelos)... all 350 of them at $1,500 a pop. Way out of my range
