Okay, this is pretty awesome. Joytoy revealed Leviathan dreads for IF and SoH. At 1/18 scale, these are going to be pretty massive. The Redemptor dreads were done very well and had a lot of presence on the shelf and I expect these to be similar in that regard also. More pics found here: https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/BreCcbb3_0sRA6TgfrjBTA https://www.joytoy.com/products/imperial-fists-leviathan-dreadnought-with-cyclonic-melta-lance-and-storm-cannon https://www.joytoy.com/products/sons-of-horus-leviathan-dreadnought-with-siege-drills

Yeah. There's trying to get customers with money to burn and then there's this... $300 could get you something actually good like a DX VF-1 or something. Well, if there are suckers that are actually paying $380 for these things, good on Toynami for finding people to bilk. 😁
-
Holy crap! 😮 I was like what's this $300 item he's talking about? Then I realized you were talking about the above toy which I thought was only maybe $15-20 and I thought I was being generous with that estimation. What drugs were they taking and in what vast quantities?
-
Yeah, pretty positive they'll make him. Aside from Abaddon, they're kind of lacking in the named SoH characters at the moment. IF at least has Sigi and Faf.
-
Even so, given that there is an official mini for him, I wouldn't put it out of the realm of possibility.
-
Indeed I have and I don't feel like I missed out on anything worthwhile. 😀
-
That's amazing! They must use some actual "robotechnology" in the making of this toy! 😁
-
LOL I didn't even notice the ejectable fists until you mentioned it. Where the heck did they pull that from? This isn't Mazinger! And this is an officially licensed toy?
-
That KX139 painted up like that does seem very similar to the VB-6 Konig Monster. Very nice!
-
More Sons of Horus stuff from Joytoy revealed during Toyfair and up for pre-order. Disappointed that they haven't done Garviel Loken yet. Hoping he's coming at some point. Another SoH praetor Tartaros pattern terminators

It's about all things WH40k. Tabletop wargaming is not really my thing, so I never played. Played a bit of space hulk way back though. The very first Dawn of War game was what got me into WH40k and I dug into the lore and such after. I liked the minis and thought about collecting them, but the size and fixed poses turned me off on the idea. The JoyToy stuff was perfect for what I wanted, though I didn't start collecting until Roboute came out which gave me the push to start. Before that, I had gotten a couple of the early McFarlane intercessors, but they just didn't do it for me when I got them in hand.

It was probably inevitable since they they were doing the space marine portion of the Leviathan box set with the new terminators, Agemman, librarian, chaplain, and sternguard. So now they're doing the other half of it with the nids. Hopefully they sell well because it's nice to have more than just SM. Yeah, the sculpts are great and I think they've done a good job of hiding the joints. The colors aren't quite right for Hive Fleet Leviathan though which is strange because normally they do a good job matching the colors to those of the official minis. The overall skin should be more pinkish. The gun shouldn't really be the same color as the skin. Not quite the right purple for the carapace either, but good enough I suppose. I expect that I will need to fix the colors when I get them.
-
JoyToy finally revealed their first space bugs.
-
Might need to thin it a bit. If I had to do it again, I would probably just thin it enough to airbrush it on as my paint brushing skills are not the best. I recently got some Citadel contrast medium and it seems to help the citadel paints flow better as well when brushing. Small are touchups like I did in my pic should be fine. Doing something like a whole strip, I'd probably use my airbrush.
-
Here's a pic with it partly out. It does seem pretty far forward, but not nearly as far forward as it appears to be on the toy.

Horus Heresy Space Doggos stuff announced.

Wow, that's a really nice find. Some nice art in there. That's pretty funny they actually listed gerwalk in there.
-
Apparently a new UM terminator chaplain is also coming. I like this one a whole lot better than the other termie chaplain JoyToy has already released.
-
I was wondering that too. I really hope it's darker like that. It looks better that way, imo.
-
Got my IF despoiler squad and a breacher with the graviton gun. They looked pretty good already, but I decided to do a bit more with them. Joytoy said it wasn't feasible to have their workers paint up all the studs and such, so I took it upon myself to do that. Painted up the studs on the armor for the despoiler marines and made my first attempt at painting a plasma pistol because it didn't look right by default. I think the extra effort makes these guys stand out more.

I posted this in the SV-262 thread, but figured I'll put it here too just in case. Gold touch up for SV-262hs
-
This comes very late, but coincidentally while painting something else with Citadel Paint - Retributor Armor, it came to my mind that it looked just like the gold used on Keith's SV-262. I had one that had a lot of the gold that was scuffed off and tried applying some to it. It is nearly identical. I repainted that whole area outlined in the black box on both sides of where it separates and I think most people would have a hard time distinguishing it from the rest of the gold on the 262. Just a tip if there's anyone else that had the gold scuff off or peeled off with the protective plastic right out of the box and wanted to do some touch ups.
-
Pretty sure they're coming eventually. I do want those inner circle ones with the new helmets. In other news, they announced a few days ago the 10th edition Leviathan box set terminators including UM 1st Captain Agemman, the librarian terminator, and some terminators including the sgt with the teleport homer. The helmet sculpts have been fixed so they're not so small looking and more detail have been added to the legs. They are also a little bigger than the Deathwing termies.
-
Yeah, I mean it's based on the same source material so there's bound to be a lot of similarities, However, they don't look to be using the same gimmicks like the twist down of the intake turbine sections to allow the arms to slide forward or the fact that it looks like these allow the pilots to exit out of the front hatch. Kind of looks like it has a mid-thigh swivel also which the Sentinel versions don't have.
-
Wow, these markups are brutal. They're skipping the scalpers by doing it themselves.
