She's on the front rank because she's a loli, duh. Oh my God, I want the wood club golem to be painted as a tiny robot!

The studio armies are still by and large very good, but those Catachan models have never been well painted, even in the 3rd ed box art and codex. It really comes down to them being unsalvageable sculpts, unlike the more modern Catachan command and heavy weapons teams which are actually good models. And I guess I didn't recognize the girl from the old familiars; it's by far the weakest of the bunch (with walking book being the best)

I knew they were hard to come by but I've never seen models go for that much It's pretty telling that even Russian recasters are selling those models alongside Forgeworld stuff. I'm all for recasting OOP minis but I wish they were ones I actually wanted.

I hear you. If a recaster started selling copies of the original Imperial Robots or the Landship I'd be hella tempted.

Ugleb posted:I had completely forgotten about these! I might have had some but could be mistaken. Were they sold in packs together or bundled with something else? Both. You could get them in a pack at one point, but in general you got them as a random throw-in with a wizard model. I have a couple kicking around from when I was trying to make a 1k sons army. No boob gnome, though.
