OK nice. There are not many European shops who offer the Battleline version (bcs main wholesale has the Limited in stock and Battleline is delayed by 6months).
Indeed, prob i got one from the international batch like yours.

It was well packed with some small paddings added around and between delicate pieces.

Did yours arrive in perfect condition? happy with it?

Got my Limited Edition Titus and he's amazing! Super happy with this, it's weighty and the paint up is great.

Awesome.
Paint application appears to be very consistent within the Titus production run.

I still have to test my helmet light (batt. A23_V23GA_MN21)

Warhammer is new to me. Grabbed Space Marine 2 & the new Ultimate Guide as well and hope to really get into the universe.

There are a lot of fantastic books if you are interested in reading.

New PO is up.

Skragrott the Loonking from warhammer Age of Sigmar.

These are also 1:6
ES 700

It is pretty small total height 18.5" (35% of it is only his staff). But has a lot of nice details.
$799 excluding taxes/shipping.

Yeah I have already posted 3 times at FB page. Pls lower the warhammer prices to generate continuity and steady sales.

Compared to the nice 1/4 Witcher with 3 ghouls or 1/4 Lara Croft or some larger LOTR statues these WH40k pieces are double in price.
Also Witcher and LOTR often get 40-50% off during stock sales. Which is not nice to PO buyers. Should be better priced from start to end.

I'm sure the big chunk is licensing. Games Workshop is maybe the greediest nerd company I've ever seen.

Yes i think so, bcs 1:6 HMO was already expensive too.

And look at those original crazy small plastic figures without paint.. LoL.

Im strongly thinking about 3d-printing 1:6 myself.
(tried the 3D-hobby for fun with the FFF (filament wire version) but that is not enough for statues.
For same price you now have good resin printers, but the time it takes to actual making the parts and then preparing for paintwork is sooo much.
An avg part take 7hrs to print so large figure will take multiple days. Thats without making and calibrating drawings, test printing etc. Also 1kg resin is not cheap and you prob need 2 or 3 kg / each.
