    He's going for 1:48 scale.  About the size of 1:48 VF-1, IIRC.

    Thanks for telling me! I wish that we could get transformable Valkyries with this level of polish and detail without costing $1000.

    This project reminds me of the guys who build those 1/40 scale Gundams from scratch. The work you are doing is amazing, the number of tiny pins I am seeing is just amazing.

    Hrm... from JOYTOY, and right now, sure.

    In the future, I'd wager we'll be seeing a few more Primarchs coming out of the woodwork in the not-too-distant future and TBH I do kind of suspect they're headed toward a quiet End Times sort of event and the setting is actually getting somewhat less grimdark.

      Hide contents

    Chaos has made some serious story gains in the latest incarnation of the 13th Black Crusade.  Abaddon's forces were able to bring about the creation of a massive chain of warp rifts that split the galaxy in half and greatly expanded the area where Daemons and Chaos Space Marines can operate across the galaxy.  He's said to be preparing for his final march on Terra with the traitor primarchs at his back in much the same way that his gene-father Horus Lupercal did 10,000 years earlier.  All four traitor primarchs who are sworn to a single Chaos god - Angron, Fulgrim, Magnus, and Mortarion - are confirmed to be active in the galaxy again.  It's also been indicated that Lorgar, one of two Chaos Undivided traitor primarchs, is probably abroad and raising hell in the galaxy again so we can probably expect him to put in an appearance before too long.  The real sign of an End Times scenario for 40K will be if someone manages to get Siege of Terra MVP Perturabo to leave his daemon world Medrengard.

    On the other hand, things are starting to look up for the Imperium.  Lord Commander Roboute Guilliman is up and about after 10,000 years of near-death in a stasis field via the help of the Eldar and a 10,000 year old Archmagos.  He is actively busting heads and fixing the Imperium's broken and ineffective government and directly attempting to make the galaxy a better and brighter place.  Now he also has Lion El'Jonson, the First Legion master and the #1 winningest general among the Primarchs in his corner who, despite having actually aged in the 10,000 years since the Horus Heresy and the Scouring, is seemingly no weaker for it and has taken a few thousand levels in kindness and good governance.  The Emperor himself has even become more active and interventionist, directly saving Guilliman and trying to meet with The Lion.  There's even been the suggestion that the Emperor is either finally starting to heal or is on the brink of transcending his mortal flesh and pulling a Sigmar maneuver by becoming a true god of order.

    When you think about it, they're likely gradually moving towards setting up the 40K primarch rivalries along the same lines as the 30K ones that have dominated the Horus Heresy novel series.  We'll have four or five Chaos primarchs running around, and likely their opposite loyalist numbers too.  

    Of the nine loyalist primarchs, four are confirmed to be alive or even unkillable, one unconfirmed dead, two confirmed dead, and two missing:

    Roboute Guilliman, Lion El'Jonson, Vulkan, and Corvus Corax are confirmed to be alive and at least one technically unkillable.

    Rogal Dorn is missing and believed dead.  Sanguinius and Ferrus Manus are both confirmed dead.

    Jaghatai Khan and Leman Russ are missing, but believed to be alive.

    Of the nine(ten) traitor primarchs, six are daemon primarchs and three(four) are dead.

    Angron, Fulgrim, Lorgar Aurelian, Magnus the Red, Mortarion, and Perturabo are confirmed to be alive as daemons.

    Horus, Night Haunter, Alpharius, and Omegon are dead.  It's possible, given some events in the Heresy, that Alpharius's body is walking around with someone else's soul in it.

     

    In what story does the emperor save Guilliman?  I am listening to the audiobooks of Warhammer 40000, since I seem to lack the time to read a book and I have started the Dawn of War story line and have read the Lion awakening story with great interest.  I am very curious as to how it will go down when the Lion meets up with the rest of the Dark Angels and he has to brow beat them into not killing or "purging" the fallen.

    Those are some pretty nice pictures! I like the design, even if it does take liberties.  Can’t wait for more info about release and price.

    Random question: Is there any configuration that the super pack can fit together with the super ghosts mounted, most importantly in fighter mode, through any arrangement with the hardpoints or wing folding contortions?

    I'm unrealistically hoping the main boosters could somehow squeeze under the half folded wings. I don't have any super packss, but have the super ghosts. With them mounted under the wings, it does't seem like the wings can fold open to reveal the mid wing hard points to make that an option.

    At some point, I'm gonna realize bandai won't make mirage's super pack, and then maybe grab a hayate's set to slap on her AX, so i can at least have a tri-colored franken plane like a few of the ultramans did lol

    I believe with the VF-31AX, the attachment point for both items is the wing-fold hidden hard point. So to answer you more directly, no. It would be one or the other.

    Just got mine from BBTS! I only had a few minutes to transform to fighter mode. My first impression is very good. Feels similar to my VF-0S Focker, but as others have said, the plastic is less see through.  I am sure it just requires more massaging, but the right vertical stabilizers is canted. The head laser is also pointing down. Again, probably requires more massaging. I really like it and am glad I got it!
