Title: new GW Vargheists/Crypt Horrors
Post by: Heroka Vendile on December 27, 2011, 12:14:45 AM
just hit the net, available from 14th January.

There are a couple other stunning plastic kits that you can look at easily elsewhere (seriously, the Coven Throne looks simply amazing), but this one by far has the most relevance to Inquisitor. Should be about £30 going by the conversion rate on the euro price that can be seen in the image.

I hadn't thought of this when I saw the pics on other forums, but as soon as I visited here I thought "genestealer conversions".

Only, would they be big enough?

Maybe I could use these for some cool mutants or perhaps a Plaguebearer for the Nurgle cult I'm planning...

They would be nice as some sort of fury I think.

Zombies, mutants, chaos adherents, neo-vampires, generic semi-human plastic, they all look like a great scale. If anyone gets their hands on a batch for comparison that'd be great.

If they are a good size I will probably be picking them up for genestealer conversions. The wings may work well for my gargoyles.

possibly a bit small for purestrains, but certainly great for cult hybrids

One resource we could really do with, is a thread with size comparison pictures of Inquisitor scale miniatures next to the larger (and therefore potentially interesting) WH40K/WFB miniatures.

Feel free to start a thread for such things. Or we can create a modelling section  on Carthax to list the alternate manufacturers, models, comparison pics etc.

Got a box of these guys, I'll be posting pics in a separate thread (hopefully later today) but they scale incredibly well. Heads are perfect for mutants/aliens/monsters. Arms are a little big and I've not yet assembled a full one but they are definitely useable in many capacities.

Fugitivus: Don't forget LOTR! I'm interested in getting that Catapult troll with the gimp mask. Not sure what to do about that rock he's holding though...

Alyster Wick: I think it would be great if you started a thread where everyone can post size comparisons between different figures. If this would catch on, maybe it could become stickied?
