GW News: BIG N' SMALL WAAAGH! COMIN'

How come the Amazons get what should obviously be a Lizardman model?!?

 

I wonder if these could be a new unit type to add to Seraphon?

 

With the cost of Forgeworld BB models I may be converting one of these. Five minis for about the cost of one

 

i did that it works fairly well

 

Any pics?

 

Very nice, what about the other 4?

Also have you tried kitbashing them with the thin torsos of Saurus Cavalry? Because I'm wondering if they'd work as a Krox conversion

 

I have three of these. And they are way too small to be used as krox

 

i call them high priests of sotek

 

They are pretty sweet Erta. Nice one.

 

This lad looks better:




There's more Dwarf there, if GW had given the rest of the Votann range as many Dwarven symbols and beards they'd have been on a roll with this new faction, but the beards at least can be scavenged from other Dwarf kits.

 

Honestly, it's too space marine-like. It's more classicly dwarvish than the earlier Votann stuff with the addition of runes, beard & head-piece-thingy. But it also just looks like a short space marine, especially now that it's armour covers most of him (unlike the other stuff that still showed a lot of cloth). Same with the Einhyr Hearthguard, who just look like misshapen terminators. Similar to how the thousand sons are "egyptian space marines" this feels like "dwarvish space marines".

The earlier Votann stuff might not have been classicly dwarvish, but at least it looked distinct from the rest of 40K. And the earlier stuff did fit well with the theme of prospectors and miners in space, so in that sense they captured the ideas of a society of mining dwarfs in space quite well. This feels more like someone just slammed a KO and space marine together, it lacks creativity.

Decent model though. Just can't help but feel like an opportunity was missed here.

 

I'm sorry that this isn't in the meme thread.

But it's relevant and hilarious if you are familiar with Yogscast and the song.



Furthermore, he's the only previewed model that looks like a space dwarf to me

 

It's certainly more entertaining than the Krieg shovel memes.

 

I'm surprised you post them personally, normally your standards of comedy are higher than that.

 

Maybe my standards are so far above yours that you simply cannot comprehend it. (you are an advocate of Jar Jar after all )
