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.

Well, I was close. Looking forward to seeing a finished and painted prototype.

That POSE+ Alpha looks really good. Even better than the Sentinel version I think. It looks pretty big too. What is that? something like 1/24 scale? Probably not that big, but certainly larger than 1/48.

That's good to know. Thanks! I was debating whether if I should get one of these reissues or not, but was worried about the color not matching Luca or Maruyama's.

Yeah, it's definitely based on that Horus Ascended mini rather than the "Horus the Warmaster" mini, but the face sculpt on the figure is amazing and much improved over the ascended mini. I'm rather glad they went with the newer ascended mini and improved upon it in the transition to a larger figure.

There is truth to this regarding cross pollination with the art. For example, the face of Guilliman. The miniature's face looks like this: But the figure's face looks like this: Which is more in line with illustrations and the 10th edition trailer If it were simply a scaled up version of the mini, it wouldn't look like that. So it seems there is at least some leeway for interpretation as the miniature simply scaled up would not look very good and they had to use other art references to make the figure look good. Same with the Lion. The mini's face wasn't as bad, but you can clearly see that they used illustrations like from the book cover for The Lion: Son of the Forest as their reference for the figure's face sculpt.

Unclear, but to my knowledge, they've so far only based them on the minis. For any JT Warhammer figure I pick, I can find a specific corresponding mini for. They were fairly reticent on details or specifics of their contract with GW, but that's to be expected.

If the miniature came with variant heads, then the JoyToy version would likely include them as well, just as the Lion figure came with the old man Lion head, the hooded head, the hooded helmet head, and the full winged helmet along with the two Watchers. So far, they appear to be faithful to what the miniatures have included as options/accessories. In a recent Q&A with JoyToy, they basically stated that they can't come up with stuff on their own and all the stuff they release will be based on GW's official original designs (i.e. their miniatures).

Thanks! I wouldn't mind seeing some of their larger battlesuits like the Broadside with the giant shoulder mounted heavy rail guns. I have a feeling they'll be doing the HH version of Magnus rather than the 40k daemon primarch version so it will likely be based off of this: Would be funny if the head was a surprise accessory for the Horus figure. If only GW would allow them to make Kitten.

Good comparison. Thanks for the video. Would you say that your original one had yellowed a bit or more that the reissue came just super bright white (like whiter than the original release)?

Wasn't a fan of Dorn's hair or the fact that he never came with a helmet. I ordered a 3rd party helmet which arrived today. Detailed it up a bit and I think it looks pretty good. Without: With:

Sanguinius, Magnus, and Russ are supposedly coming sometime this year, so you may get your wish.

That's for sure. They pump out these things non-stop and it never seems to be 1 at a time. it's like "here's a whole bunch of things! Pre-order them now!" I never planned on getting much, mostly just the primarchs, but that was a mistake. The primarchs were just the gateway drug. Soon, I ended up buying a redemptor dreadnought, Morvenn Vahl, Kaldor Draigo, Voldus, Garran Crowe, Lazarus, a sister of battle just for scale, a techmarine, a Custodes shield captain, some aggressors, inceptors, and a couple other primaris captains... with Allarus terminators and a Deathwing terminator on the way. All within the past month... To make it worse, I can't help stop myself from weathering and touching up the paint jobs. Like the flat gold on Dorn and Roboute's armor just makes it look so toy-like despite them doing a great job on the Custodes or stuff like fixing Roboute's pale pasty face.
