Yeah, that is pretty bad ass.

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

I'm loving the new Death Korps models, they look fantastic, and that Gorgon assault carrier is immense! Its just a badass Higgins boat with a shitload more guns, armour and tracks! They've got the WWI style trench warfare feel right on the money. The only models I'm a bit iffy about the are heavy weapons teams; the base for the weapons looks a bit silly IMO, but otherwise good stuff.

Apparently the first FW Manta will be at Games Day, and as the most expensive model they've ever produced, I doubt they'll be getting many orders. On the other hand, there are those gamers with way more money than sense who feel the addition of an £800+ lump of resin to their collection is worth the price tag...

Made a little comparison between the Bloodthirster and Avatar. The photo angles are slightly off but they should be pretty close.

Hell, Workshop managed to shift that lead Thunderhawk they made a while back, and that thing fell apart under it's own weight.

Sufficiently committed idiots will buy anything.

I know someone who bought that. I believe it simply required lots and lots of pinning. But he did it. In fact, he may actually have bought two of them.
Then again when you've got a GW discount, its not quite as bad.
