If this is the new Games Day 2012 miniature, it has to be the nicest one to date!
For any of you new to the hobby and can’t remember the 2nd edition of the game, its from the cover art of the box. This is the edition that was out when I first got into the hobby….. alright and if I’m honest probably the last edition I played too lol
There was a guide on how to convert your own version of the miniature waaaaaaay back and I always wanted to have a go at it, but my sadly my modelling skills were non existant back then lol
Brokenblade (Joe Tomaszewski from ‘Eavy Metal) did a great version on coolminiornot a few years ago http://www.coolminiornot.com/156593
Hats off to the sculptor and whoever did that awesome paint job, such a nice miniature!
Roll on September and January 7th when WD is out so we can see what this miniature is about. 
W.
pity its being made in finecast but Em really looking forward to this one.
My wife got me the new White Dwarf Subscription only mini for Xmas and the casting was pretty sharp, so maybe they are sorting things out finally… fingers crossed!
It still seems a bit hit and miss. I thought the same that new releases would be higher quality than the re-releases but in some cases (Necron Lords appear almost universally terrible) this is not the case.
I imagine if it’s a GD model then maybe the checkers will spend more than 5 seconds per frame?
do they have checkers
im sure this mini featured in a white dwarf from many many years ago where it was in a article on converting and this was the finished model, dosnt mean t say it couldnt be the GD miniature
Hi Scott2311, welcome to the blog
Yeah you’re right Mike McVey did this conversion years ago, I remember wishing I could try the conversion. This is the one he did though http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/ac312/Wiltrichs/mcvey-captain.jpg still looks great today. The latest White Dwarf has confirmed that this is going to be the 2012 GD Miniature, so I’m very happy
It is an awsomme mini compared to the rubbish ones the past 2-3 years cant wait to get a hold one one, plus just ordered the 25 years of 40k one
What a shame you have to pay £12 on the day for it and it’s not included in the 30-quid entrance fee (effectively making the overall price £42 quid -that’s 63 dollars to you yanks- for going to an overblown retailing exercise.
Oh and it’s 1 per customer. They stamp your ticket when you’ve had it.
Rip Off.
Wow really? I didn’t know that, that does suck!
Amazing. I actually still have the white dwarf edition that has the tutorial on how to make that guy from old metal parts.
What WD issue was that Stratto? I’ve got almost all from the last 19 years and have been looking through loads to try and find it again but haven’t found it yet…
Its in the old citadel miniatures modelling guide from th mid 90′s
