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.

Wow, that's a really nice find. Some nice art in there. That's pretty funny they actually listed gerwalk in there.
