...Says Harry (Warseer's reliable inside man). He goes on to say it's:
...just one of the very early test (Concept) sculpts that Jes did. I'm pretty sure that is a resin cast not plastic. That is one of the sculpts that David Gallhager based the Warrior art on.
That is NOT a final warrior ... although some elements remain very similar they evolved a good bit. Not least in the helmet department. Generally speaking they have more detail.
So there we have it guys, the real suprise is yet to come! With Gamesday ever nearer, you won't need to wait long...
This is like Christmas when I was a child... man... I wish I could have gone! I would have loved to see Santa(Jes).
ReplyDeleteI think he looks pretty cool. I'm so psyched about this!! More complicated is not equal to a better looking model. Although I think the rifle still looks kinda cartoony.
ReplyDeleteHuh, Alec, this is a bit odd. I really love this model, but I especially love the rifle. I guess it is a matter of opinion. It does look a bit cartoonish as it is a bit too smooth, but at the same time it has enough edges to give it a "Dark" feel to the "Eldar" looks.
ReplyDeleteAck! The ups and downs we must endure! :D
ReplyDeleteAnyone noticed that the blade covers the rifle's line of shot?
ReplyDeleteThe blade covers the rifles shot as this is, as confirmed by Harry over on warseer, just a test sculpt.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest I'm not entirely sure if I'm excited or disappointing that this was just a test. One one hand, I really love the look of the new Warrior. On the other hand, he isn't very dynamic and if this is just the 'WIP' then I can't wait to see the finishes product in the next day or so.
I like the little details involved, like the loincloth having bones/metal spikes through it. Skull hung beneath the rifle. etc
If the end result is as cool as this I'll be extremely EXTREMELY happy.
ReplyDeleteI never said it WAS the final version when i posted it and made it clear it was a PROTO and then everyone just flew off the handle lol.... anyways i'm glad the actual ones are out there now. It was just a teaser before GDUK :)
