Wow that looks great.

Can't wait to start painting it.

I'd like to see what the finished product looks like.

I'll post it. A little anecdote: I'm the Gamemaster of a Donjons and dragons game I'mplaying with my nephew and we I show him the miniature. He asked me what is and what it does. He went to his sister and said "We better be careful the next game, Uncle have bought a mean monster to fight us."
I swear It was my intentions.

hehe. Making a gamer out of your nephew, sweet.

I need somebody to inherit my stuff when I'm gone! :)

True. So very true.

$16 is pretty cheap if it's from GW.

In my days, we could buy 5 leads figures for that money, Sonny!

I'm sort of wondering what days these were...
Most of my troops cost like.. $35 a model.

Brace yourself. I have miniatures I bought when they were released in 1988!

My car is older! :D

Yikes! What is it ? A ford model T? ;)

Toyota Tercel lol

lol

Or 32 marines for 30 bucks. I miss those days sometimes. Looking forward to seeing how you paint her!

So you have painting kits, hmm?

Infact, just a personal selection of paints.

I wanted to buy some minis at some point but I didnt know what I really wanted. I don't play war games but I like the idea of a customized army. Just nowhere to put them, and no money for a big paint set.

Bwahahahaha, "When I was your age, we had to walk barefoot in the snow, up hill, BOTH ways to buy models. And they were made out of dried horse manure and we were HAPPY. Happy I tell ya!"

Go to bed, Old timer.

Hah!

Damn kids....

sixteen bucks for a plastic figure? sounds like the new material they're using to replace metal, it's a higher-detailed resin than the polystyrene they use for 'normal' plastic figures.

I have to admit, the strength-to-weight ratio is impressive, it looks like it's attached to the base by the points of the trailing dress.

oh it is a nice figure. It just a bit light for the price. I'll have to check if it's made of rein or plastic.

Just check it is plastic!

Then yeah, sixteen bucks is a bit high for a single figure.

Also did a little digging, the new 'plastic figures as detailed as metal' material is called Finecast. Yes, Games Workshop has abandoned metal figures entirely.

Yeah! The only reason why it's so expansive it's because it's a rare charcter.. OOOOhhhhh

Oïe ! 16 dollars pour un bout de plastique ! Décidément, Games Workshop est fidèle à sa réputation de produire à bon marché...
Je me souviens que l'inflation a commencé au milieu des année 1990. Avant, ils vendaient pratiquement leurs figurines au poids. Une fois, qu'ils ont eu du succès, ils vendaient le plastique au prix du plomb ! Ce qui a bien fait marrer mon marchands de jeux de rôle habituels... Les clients, eux, n'ont pas trop appréciés la plaisanterie !

Je me rapelle de cette periode. Je travaillais chez un distributeur et les vendeurs de Games Workshop ont pris le controle de la compagnie avec des pratiques comme: figurines exclusives si on achetait plus de 20 boites de tel choses, reedition des jeux de miniatures a tous les deux ans. Bref ils ont changer le plomb en or!

Mouais, je comprend pas comment ils ont pu avoir un tel succès commercial en adoptant un comportement de mafieux... D'accord, ils produisent du beau matériel, mais c'est vendu à des prix prohibitifs !
Au bout d'un moment, j'ai définitivement arrêté d'acheter du Games Workshop... Et je n'ai plus acheté que des trucs produits par d'autres sociétés. Mais, de toute façon, rapidement je me suis lassé des figurines... Aujourd'hui, j'en ai des paquets que je n'ai même jamais déballé !

ON est dans le meme club!! :)

That reminds me I need to finish painting my scratch-built Gorn dreadnaught figure for my Star Trek fleets. I'm also saving up to buy a Lyrian fleet
