>Its actually pretty spot on.

>You dive for the mini.
>Jumps out of the way, and koolaid man's his way through your office wall

That fucking face though.

Holy shit.

I don't know what is worse, the head or the right leg ornaments. The raven on it looks terrible.

Future Forge World

Thank you, I'll actually buy one from FW if they put it up.
-Blood Ravens player

I seriously hope there's a helmeted version.

It was today on their semminar. It was mentioned he will be for sale next month.

>blood ravens actually got models
Youre fucking joking, i never thought id see the day

Malcador Infernus a cute.
CUTE.

>"TO THE RHINO BATTLE BROTHER!" He's off, and runs straight into the open rear hatch of a space wolves rhino.
>All the iconography has been sloppily painted over with spray paint.
>The space marine with the bag goes to escape, but trips right onto the bag.
>Theres a disgusting crunch as he falls flat on his face.
>You pick yourself up off the floor just in time to see the sergeant scramble off his ass and into the rhino.
>You try and give chase, but the rhino manahes to outpace you at a blistering 20kph.
>Ah fuck.

One week later.

>Packing up you things.

>Run out sobbing.
>Drive around some more.
>Get home, its late now, bout an hour before midnight.
>Walk into your apartment.
>You may not have your job.
>You may not have your friends.
>But at least you have your wife.

Did people got excited when they showed him?
Not a fan of the ornament on his right legg and of his face...

With how much GW is pushing DOWIII I kinda hope we get more Blood Ravens stuff in the future, I do like them.

>You hear someone rumadging through the fridge.
Wife must have been out working late.
>"Honey I'm home..." but you trail off.
>It is not your wife.
>Its sergent thunderfuck, and hes raiding your fridge.
>Oh no.
>Look around, its not just him. Several crownies are hanging out in your house.
>Their watching the Batimore Ravens
>Oh No.
>Your pomeranian happily runs up.
>Hes besn decked out ina tiny doggy-power armor suit.
>Not him too.
>Your about to break down, but then it hits you.
>Oh no.
>You run past them, barreling up the stairs.
>No no no no no.
>You can hear it from hear, the dread sinking in.
>You pray to whoevers listening that this isn't happening.

>Brohugs you.
>All is right in the world.
>His face when he nicks your wallet out of your back pocket.

Bloody Magpies.

Wait
It just hit me who the head reminds me of
It's fucking Polnareff from Jojo

Oh my goD!

HORY SHITU

He's a fucking manlet.

Sanava beeech!

Pornarefu!

Yeah... to bad DOWIII is shit, they should have do it with both first games

I'd laugh pretty fucking hard if they have chapter tactics in 8th to go with this. Now maybe they'll give Titus a real model instead of a head.

Its a fucking match

Titus was just a sternguard veteran given the rank of captain for the ultra honor conpany that operates in the western side of the galaxy user.

Be content with what you have.

If anyone from the games deserves a model its motherfucking General Stern

That and a Cain and Jergen model would be neat

Titus got a head? I want this where can I get it?

>poxwalkers move 4"

Fucking resident sleeper.

Worthless.

Vanilla sterngaurd boxset

the one good thing about that is the hammer
also that face is fucking atrocious!

Its because of how long it is. They wanted it to connect properly and it probably just looked over the brin. So to take up space they elongated it

So now he looks as if he was gifted an extra chromosome

Everything about the model is great but the face is bad.

Will get it but will green stuff the face or replace it.

As a blood ravens player I'm definitely going to buy this model, but holy shit is that face bad. I'm not sure it's even going to be salvageable, probably going to be better to use a FW cataphrachtii helmet and some greenstuff

Honestly I personally think I'm going to "gift" the helmet of the minotaurs chapter master

Gotta look good you know

f-father?

I hope people bring this up to the FW staff, maybe they can still fix it?

Maybe, the rest of the model is great, it's just that face as that looks like it has been rushed.

OH SHIT

COULD THIS BE

A JOJO REFERENCE?

A lot of the time a bad face is just a result of the paintjob, cause with the face even if you paint it technically well if the coloration is even slightly off it'll look like shit.

"Yes?"

No. It isn't a Jojo reference. Every goddamn thread with this. Nobody likes your stupid show.

WHO IS LETTING THIS SCULPTOR RUIN MORE MODELS?

Blood Bowl and this (and any future) DoW minis are probably what they let their newbie sculptors practice on.

>Face looks hideous
>Blood pigeon on the leg
>WorstAngelos not even one handing his hammer like the game

Sad!

Someone HAS to make an army like this.

I mean, with some few actual Blud Revens and the rest poorly painted "gifts" and other crazy shit.

Like this pic related

To be fair, he still looks better than that ogryn-sized abomination we got in the game.

Have they swapped sculptors? GW's shit is way better than FW these days. Unless it's HH it's dodgy as fuck.

CHIMP HEAD!

kek

That's an expensive hunk of dog shit.

An oldie but a goldie.

I actually like it, but the face though...

Would still buy it and just put in a cool heml or something. The armour and the hammer are pretty neat.

FW has done some dodgy sculpting lately, some of the blood bowl stuff didn't look right and that new sisters of silence upgrade set has gorilla arms.

The Joke
Your head

Still amazed how much they charge for their Hobbit shit. I know you pay for quality with forgeworld (Sculpts anyway, not actual resin) but that Hobbit shit is priced through the roof.

...

Whys he look like an ape?

D'oh!

When it finally gets put onto the Forgeworld store page, would it show the bare resin model as well?
Thats usually a much better tell of how good a model it is, since FW painting is pretty dire.

Found a better image, I honestly it's the painting and the lighting that has made his face look stupid.

No, his face still looks malformed. Just because you can hide it better doesn't make it less of a godawful travesty for what will probably amount to a $50 USD model.

Heres a proper comparison of a static pose. FW squeezed his head for whatever reason.

I said "a better image". Still not perfect but it's a bit better.

At least everything else is about him is good.

Its because his ingame propoertions are just wrong, and while it looks fine in game itd be noticeable on the model.
So they adpated the armor to fit a more proportional body, resulting in a clash of desing
