It really is amazing how often this needs to be said. All minis made by GW are initially cast in resin so they can be painted for the rule books and box art. The rumour picture is clearly resin, bur that does not mean the final mini will be. Anyway, looking forward to finding out what next week's preorder will be. Hoping for skirmish or shadow Aelves. We should get the details on Monday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was true for metals (given I have held the great weapon Wood Elf lord from 2005 in my hand which is resin). Plastic models are sculpted in CAD. But lets have this amazingly said more often. Cause it never hurts to be snide on a forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjarni St. Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 They cast the plastic kits in resin first too and that's what Eavy Metal are given to paint before plastic production kits are finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'eavy metal painters said as much on Warhammer TV, so you're wrong there, and the rumour photos in resin are most likely pre-production plastic kits.

Captain Marius Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 On the Rumour Engine i believe when theyve shown unpainted bitz before they have always been plastic, suggesting that this latest one WILL be a resin kit, which i think suggests BloodBowl (or a special edition ork of some description).

Actually, they said this on WarhammerTV to explain why the studio's Kharadron frigates were wobbling so much, and that the plastic versions wouldn't do so.

Does anyone have an example of this, ive looked through all the previous unpainted bits on the rumour engine and they all look like plastic to me!

Chikout Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 So it looks like more bloodbowl stuff will be next weekends preorder. Maybe skirmish after that? I am starting to think that shadow Aelves will take the July slot alongside Ghb2 as the slyvaneth did last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segersgia Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 nope, none so far. DakkaDakka has a decent collection on what is revealed and what is not. https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/709691.page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chikout Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) Time for me to eat crow on this one. A pretty fast turnaround between rumour image and reveal. Edited May 8, 2017 by Chikout 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still-young Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Well, turns out this one was actually a resin model! That's gonna make it tricky in future to know if it's a resin master or a FW model haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dez Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 YEAH I'M DA MAN I CALLED IT!!! Just kidding I do think it's a bit funny that there was some controversy over something that came out to be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malin Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 My point regarding this part "looking resin to me" was based on the fact of its complexity. Don't get me wrong, GW did huge leap in terms of plastic casting technology, they are the best IMO on the market right now. Still this chainsaw part was very similar to the one on Khorne Blood Slaughterer from Forge World, which I have pleasure to build and paint: https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-GB/Khorne-Blood-Slaughterer These chainsaw like pieces are very similar in their built to the one on BB goblin. In addition I do not think GW have cast chainsaw which included holes/depth between each chain part, like in this resin cast. When you look at SM or any other Chainsaw part in 40K they are always shown entirely "on the outside". Hope you get what I mean. Maybe I am wrong with this 40K shenanigans, but its not my cup of tea, not taking to much care of Grim Darkness of the far future And it was resin after all Question is, what will we see in 2 days?! Plus we had very short period of time, between show up on rumor mill and reveal as someone stated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we thinking this will be a boxed release (rule book, models, maybe terrain if we are lucky), or just a book release? If Shadow War is anything to go by we could be surprised, but quite frankly I have no idea what to expect from GW these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daedalus81 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I'm thinking it's just a ruleset to get us playing smaller games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
