rosa Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) I have to say that I didn't like the Lumineth at the beginning. I liked the look though, but the model range was just a tiny bit too limited and so I was not please. But now: with these it feels just right and the mounted lord looks really awesome. For me: lumineth: from zero to hero!!! Edited January 19, 2021 by rosa 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Under the Mountain Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I retract my original statement about the Kangaroo mounts, they look pretty cool. I am now 100% convinced that GW releases the Potato camera pics themselves 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said sometimes they seed their own leaks, sometimes things slip out Spoiler Eg what prompted that video above was someone selling part of the sprue for Slaanesh Fiends randomly on ebay. It was basically bundled into a box of excess bits that had been sold off privately and the ebayer picked them up - put them on sale - then wound up with the net going nuts when the misstakenly included sprue was spotted. However GW today tends to roll with those leaks rathe than go nuts trying to shut them down. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dope model, happy that he hasn’t got a pegleg. but the painting seems a bit ‘flat’ and the base quite big for its mass They take the pics with tele lenses, so perspective gets totally flattened. Once you get the minis in your hands everything makes sense, but most pictures look weird. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralZero Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 They will do the whole zoo bestiary: soon the hypopotamus, the turkey, the ostruch, the gazellas, the rhino (no, not the brick in the 40K range) etc... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still-young Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) Every time I look at the treerunners I flip-flop on if I like them or not haha. I really like the vampire though. And the Vanari hero is very cool. Edited January 19, 2021 by Still-young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enoby Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Really love the new mounted Lumineth hero! Not sure if the Vampire lord is really doing it for me - seems a bit flat, but could be the colour and photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swarmofseals Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I was kinda meh on the archer mounts initially but I like them quite a bit in these new pics. The poses are great, and the riders look fantastic aside from the (likely fixable) crazy hats. I'd like the mounts more if the heads were a little bit larger but overall a solid hit. That Lumineth lord though... amazing. Love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feii Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 the HQ choice is a different model than shown in the new year reveal trailer. it has differeent shield iconography and skin color so we are getting kangaroo riders, this HQ guy and meele guys on alpacas most likely. (+ the wukong guy) HYPE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the great thing about armor like that is that it looks basically the same on men as it does on women, so swap out the head and call it a vampire lady and you're gold! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutton Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Vampire lord is cool. I think it would have been cooler without the shield. Shields evoke a cautious (sometimes even cowardly) mindset. To me vampires have always been about pride and power. I don't think hiding behind a shield reflects those attitudes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dope model, happy that he hasn’t got a pegleg. but the painting seems a bit ‘flat’ and the base quite big for its mass It's difficult, because the flesh is supposed to be pale and pallid. This leads to the face - which is supposed to be the focus of the model - being a bit lost. However, I feel the white eyes and the aggressive edge highlighting on the armour doesn't help matters...

The Tactical Rock(tm) also feels really unnecessary, but I shouldn't imagine it's difficult to remove. I think the model overall looks good, but it suffers from the Plague Marine problem of 'Eavy Metals extremely clean paintjobs robbing it of Oompf. I'm sure it'll really pop when some painters do a NMM job on the armour or add some weathering.

In real life, a shield is actually a fairly aggressive weapon as you can collapse distance more easily (among other reasons). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyriakin Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) Just adding red to the eyes on MS Paint really re-balances the focus of the model where it should be (i.e. the face) IMHO Edited January 19, 2021 by Kyriakin 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
