Evil Craft(ed) Chaotic Marines

An appearance of new bits company is usually well reported on news sites like BOLS, TGN or TTFix, but this time I would like to add my 5 cents to promotion of new business, because it's Polish company...

Evil Craft

They just started, thus rather limited offer , but it looks like interesting designs...

 These helmets should go smoothly along plastic Raptors from GW...

 Shoulder pads have nice details, and enough generic design for any Legion...

Another nice design with good amount of details...

 I will try to get these bits ASAP, to tell you about casting quality... stay tuned...

Extracted from last Tyrranid rumors (pre-release rant!)

While the blogsphere is flooded today with new pictures of plastic Tyranid models and bits of rules, ther are two things which worry me:
"Unit Kit: Warriors (Includes parts for Prime, but no wings)". Does it mean no shriekes in the codex? bad decision... and this:
"Removed: Mycetic Spores on the game board are gone". This one may be somehow explained by expected poor sales of such uni-purpose kit, but they still could combine it with some living terrain options.

Not just another goblin (a gem!)

Sometimes independent miniature makers are selling figurines so classic that I have no choice,  must share :-).
Ladies and gentlemen, Goblin Sorcerer by Brother Vinni... is true old-school wonder, IMO.

 

While the goblin above is just perfect, this minion of Nurgle is one step too far... Eh, there's only a thin red line between the sane and the mad.

Going back to Iron Warriors (again)

I recently collected some alternative Chaos Marines. They have pretty generic design with some old school flavor, but originally were supposed to represent Iron Warriors legion. Thus, I started some basic comparisons, which I will show here from time to time. Today, just 3 pictures...

 

 

For the next time, comparison with Mark III pattern and some terminators...

Afterlife project on Kickstarter seems interesting (one day left only)

In the past, I've bought several miniatures from Anvil Industry and they are of very high quality. Especially their recent creations are impressive resin casts. For this reason, I believe their Kickstarter project is worthy supporting , if one is looking for some non-standard Marines and Guardsmen...With free shipping it may be a good deal, and delivery time is not so distant (Jan 2014).

AFTERLIFE project link

I suppose that these miniatures will be available in Anvil Industry webstore next year (project is already funded), but during the campaign they should be cheaper.

Women in charge (grimdark, of course)

Just two figures from Bay of E...

 

 

  

Eastern theme continued...

Two more figures from the east.
This time they are not only made there, but quite originally fitting the existing eastern theme of WH4K by using Vostroyan style...

 

Death Guard Obliterators spotted

Obliterators of Nurgle are ever popular choice for Heavy Support slot in Chaos Space Marines army. As it is with all minions of Nurgle, creation of quite unique models is not so difficult task. However, sometimes people offer home-build miniatures re-cast in resin as a quick solution to buy. Below are such miniatures, offered on eB for ~50 USD / squad, i.e. the same price as GW failcast product.

For comparison, I will show another option accessible via some Russian website.

(Painter unknown...NAR+ ???)

Another Orc Warboss (with a puppy)

Resin Warboss and his squigg are roaming Ukrainian grasslands.

Orc Warboss is a popular subject for wargaming miniatures sculptors, and here you will find another approach to this theme...

Few interesting pictures (no nekkid girls... this time)

Few miniatures which (for some reason) I've never seen before.

I present these pictures found through the net, as they may be interesting for some folks around...
