Its a hover-chariot pulled by wolves in a bionic space-harness. With a Space Marine riding on it. There are no words.

"The best way to defeat a Space Wolf is to wolf his wolf. You must be careful, though, because if the Space Wolf wolfs your wolf first, then your wolf is wolfed."
—Attributed to Wolf Rider Volk Wolfclaw, On the Weaknesses of the Space Wolf Doctrine.
"A good way to get into a state of pure wolfness, would be that you shall wolf the wolf until the wolfing wolf wolfs. Then, when the wolf wolfs your wolfness, the wolves of the wild will wolf your wolf up. Wolf!"
—Attributed to Wolf Master Jonal Wolfhand, "The Call of the Nightblizzard".
"Wolf wolf wolf wolf wolfity wolf. Wolf wolf, wolfo wolfy wolf wolf wolf. Wolf? Wolf!"
—Attributed to Wolf Lord Egil Ironwolf, On the Intricacies of Tactical Wolffare.

Lords of War
Logan Grimnar: OBLIGATORY 200+ PTS NAMED CHARACTER, now taking up the Lord of War slot. He is pretty great. He's lost all his really cool FOC-modding rules for little-to-no benefit besides a fancy new sled mentioned below. However, he's still a pretty nasty h2h fighter, complete with good gear (His axe can either be an S+2 AP3 Frost Blade or an Sx2 AP2 Two-handed Unwieldy weapon to kill big monsters), Eternal Warrior, Stubborn, and his Warlord Trait lets nearby friendly units re-roll failed morale, an ability quite useful to the painfully-average LD units of the Space Wolves. He is quite expensive though, more expensive than two discount characters, and good at little beyond bashing people in the face, so consider him carefully...I've seen Mr.Grimnar take on a Dreadknight AND Kaldor Draigo 1v2. Guess what? He came out victorious with two wounds.
Stormrider: 7th Edition has given Logan a baffling new accessory for 70 points: An open-topped hovering chariot, dragged along by wolves. We couldn't make this shit up even if we tried. This Armor 12/12/12 has 3 HP and 3 BS, which is worse than his own, but it comes with a 4++ that makes pens against it into glances, making sure he'll last as long as he can. To make the wolfing thing even worse, it gives Logan a bonus 4 S5 AP- Rending attacks in close combat at I5 and gives him the ability to move up to 12" in the moving phase. Yeah, he's finally getting the ability to go fast without joining with Termies.

I'll agree that those are good models, Koumei, though I'd say that the Colossals and Gargantuans can compete with the Imperial Knight on the big model, kinda cool level. It does depend on whether you like the faction motifs, already, though, I suppose.Koumei wrote:That's true, particularly in recent years, but GW has the upper hand (in the Western markets) when it comes to big things: dragons, mecha, biglargemcfuckenhuge tanks and weird flying churches or cauldrons with twirling flame-and-smoke towers that have demons sitting on them.
Now if you look at a global market because you're in a world where you're able to order things from other continents and convert currencies, Japan actually takes a massive shit all over GW by having far cheaper kits with more parts and complexity, and even after you assemble and paint them, they still have moving parts so can adjust their poses.
But the wargaming competition hasn't come up with stuff to compare with:

That's the best they have going for them though, and I don't think "four Baneblades on each side with minimal infantry" really works. If PP get their act together with their bigger GIANT ROBOTS (and make the rules actually support loading up on them), then they won't even have that.

I really find it interesting that you call out Space Marines and Skaven, because those are the sparest things in all of Warhammer. Rat pelvises and human pelvises are pretty fundamentally different, and I don't know which they use for Skaven because the Skaven wear skirts that obscure those details. Space Marines have some doohickies on them, but primarily they look like Star Wars Storm Troopers, with all the smooth clunkiness that entails.OgreBattle wrote:I like the designs Jes Goodwin does, he did the Space Marines as we know them now, the skaven, and the iconic look of tall helmed elves (when he did the miniatures for Michael Moorcock's Melniboneans). I think he's also worked on the new Necrons. Eldar Warlocks, that's another of his designs.
I'm not sure who did the green gorilla mad max orks, but that's another really strong design.
The space marine though is a really good 'generic' model that can be loaded up on with wolf pelts, lizard pelts, angel wings, demon horns, chains, studs, wires, and whatnot, while still being identified as a space marine.
The difference in silhouette is the main part, which is important when you have dozens of 28mm models on the table. The GW marines had...FrankTrollman wrote: Space Marines have some doohickies on them, but primarily they look like Star Wars Storm Troopers, with all the smooth clunkiness that entails.
