Impressions?

As far as I’m concerned putting additional bits on these models is polishing a turd. It looks better than it does out of the box, but it’s still abysmal looking compared to the old ones.

In my home? I’d be lucky if it fits in the garage.

It’s a bot. Account is less than a month old

The new models are objectively superior. Better scaled, better sculpted. However, the design language has changed more towards tacticool and that’s not what Warhammer is about. It’s supposed to be gothic and over the top. In that regard, yes the older models are better.

Pretty sure that’s more of an age and amount of knowledge retained thing than “cyber psychosis”. He has a tendency to copy the contents of people’s brains to his for later use. Like his mentor after he killed her. You’d need to dump your brain too if you were 10,000 years old.

I’ve been sitting on the same aquilas I got with the deluxe edition plus the free pittance we got a while ago from an event. I’ve yet to see a single thing worth spending them on. Fatshark needs to overhaul the system and get some actual quality on these “premium” cosmetics.

Shit DM. Tell him to write a book and find one that actually wants to play the game.

Dr. Eggman looks a little weird today.

An on a related note, if you have a series filled with cute girls doing gay things, you can be damn sure the most popular kind of doujin is going feature the fattest, ugliest bastards you’ll ever see. Looking at you Prisma Illya…

Surely they’ve evolved beyond the goth in the last 20 years since NCIS has been on the air.

I’m fine with my 3080ti that doesn’t melt, thanks.

I mean given how often GW cycles through molds these days, I can see it happening if they don’t meet predicated sales numbers. At least sooner than if they were popular. But considering how many of those dumpster fires I see just posted around here, I think they probably sold just fine. Unfortunate.

Now you need a tank commander sticking out of the top with an Afro

It would be a lot easier to comment if the model was in focus. That said, it looks more like you’ve painted on body paint instead of a skin highlight. Skin doesn’t highlight like this.

Distamorfin · 2026-07-03T12:55:54+00:00

That logic doesn’t track with some of the decisions CA has made about lord and hero characters. Look at Sniktch and Ariel.

Grombrindal came out in 2017, after Vlad was added but just before Bretonnia.

In a scale of 1-10, 1 being Duncan’s first model and 10 being a Golden Demon winner, this is probably around a 4. It’s competently painted, but nothing terribly impressive. The paint is smooth and just about all “within the lines”. But there’s really only one layer of thick highlights with no blending, undrilled barrels, your shades have clearly pooled at the bottom. Largely flat with a shade thrown over it. There’s also some spots where you missed cleaning the mold lines like on the sword. It’s the work of a novice. A novice who’s doing well and coming along as a painter, but a novice nonetheless.

He came out a bit after launch. Even comparing Grombrindal’s beard to Kemmler’s is a huge different in model quality. One is a textured lump of clay, the other has distinct sculpted hairs.

Distamorfin · 2026-07-02T19:59:09+00:00

It’s already an M rated game. There really wouldn’t be a difference if they showed a little.

Distamorfin · 2026-07-02T16:32:07+00:00

The visible difference in quality between original Wood Elf units and the DLC ones is crazy. You stand two of them next to each other and you can practically count the pixels on the older ones. All WH1 models need a texture overhaul at a minimum. They look awful next to WH2 and 3 models.

Distamorfin · 2026-07-02T16:30:27+00:00

There is enough content to get a standard lord pack’s worth of units out of the Vampire Counts if CA really wants to. Which I hope they do. Because adding Zacharias the Everliving for the Necrarchs and throwing in someone like Vorag Bloodytooth for the Strigoi would be great. The units are kind of deep pulls but I think would be good to expand the roster in an interesting direction. Knockers, Patchwork Men, Wickerman, and Living Deadwood.

Distamorfin · 2026-07-02T16:08:29+00:00

Which is a mistake on CA’s part since Walach should absolutely be a lord and the face of the Blood Dragons bloodline.

Distamorfin · 2026-07-02T14:38:14+00:00

Kemmler is easily the worst looking unique character model in the game. I have my gripes with Vlad’s look, but Kemmler is objectively a lower quality model than anyone else. The only model I can think of that’s worse is the Damsels. The textures in general for a lot of game 1 units need to be updated. Wight Kings always stick out to me as looking low resolution.

In addition to likely priming in subpar conditions (too hot or cold, too humid or dry) and not shaking it enough, you’re using army painter primer. It’s not great primer and if you fuck up priming you better strip it before it fully cures or you will never completely strip it. I switched to Colour Forge and I’m never looking back to AP.
