At GenCon this year, Phlop and I were honored to get an opportunity to paint prototypes of the new Warhammer. Here's a quick pic of them together in the display case. Phlop did the SoL one, and I did the Wolf's Dragoons one.

This is absolutely glorious.
How/when will these be produced for public consumption?

And are some of those icons freehand?
Very nice work - I like the highlighting on the WD one - gives it a little of that worn-edge been in battle sort of look.

I want to see what a certain Blue and gold and red and black Archer will look like now! Great job on the hammers! O0

Great work! The minis look gorgeous! O0 O0

I've been following CBT on Facebook, and from the sounds of it, many of the unseen will be getting the same treatment. The newest interstellar operations book has the "seen" Battlemaster on its front. I'm saving until these mechs get into full miniature production, then the arms race begins

Absolutely love that new Warhammer!

Catalyst had a banner featuring the Warhammer in their booth. You could also see the re-designed Marauder, Shadowhawk and Griffin in the background. It was hard to see full details in the background 'mechs, but they looked promising.

Rights when I thought I wouldn't be buying any new minis....
Can't wait for an Archer O0

With you on that! I want a full lance

let the good times roll!

if these come out in plastic, we will need an individual plastics ordering system.

Lances? Bah! I want companies of them! You know you do too. Star League tactics! MonoCulture baby!

LOL you are most correct! A company + of these monsters would be a awesome, especially a special command unit of the re-re-seen Beemer

Thanks x sharing.

A reimagined Battlemaster doesn't seem needed in my opinion. The new BM looks just like the unseen only better.

Loving these! Wonder what the ETA on release is?

I think revised plastic is the plan for these. It's a Catalyst product, and Catalyst does not do metal, so inshallah, they will be plastic like the Lance Packs!

My wallet will hate me for sure! ;D

nckestrel · « **Reply #21 on:** 05 August 2015, 09:33:27 »

They will be plastic first, then metal. Loren suggested such at Gencon, and Ray just said for sure in another thread here.

Nastyogre · « **Reply #22 on:** 05 August 2015, 13:24:34 »

Hopefully we see all of the original 16. Most of the others are OK. Though I think the Hellhound, Vixen, Goshawk and Peregrine replacements are pretty terrible. Most of the IIC's are acceptable.

Ending the Unseen idea would be really good and allow the game and community to move forward fully. I applaud Catalyst's efforts. (and Topps because there is no way this is done with out the Baseball Card Overlords approving) Can't wait to be able to get them and see what might be next (The bugs, Valkyrie and the classic mediums please!)

Given my love for the Wolverine II, I'm wondering what the Seenverine will look like...

That will be interesting to see. The Wolvie II looks very close to its unseen counterpart, albeit some differences like it's right arm gun that looks as though it came from an unseen P-hawk. Very cool mini I agree. Maybe the Seenverine will bear a more retro look, maybe taking inspiration from the Prim-Thunderbolt (my guess since both unseen designs shared a similar chassis with the lower body)

M4cr0Dutch · « **Reply #25 on:** 08 August 2015, 07:14:00 »

I have been waiting half my life for these to come out. I had a lance on back order from a company called Military Simulations in the mid 90's, and the order was never delivered (...we all know why). These new sculpts look awesome, the teenager inside me is jumping for joy ;D

Daemion · « **Reply #26 on:** 10 August 2015, 08:09:34 »

How does it compare to a vintage Ral Partha Warhammer, anyway?

^-^

It head caps it, in my opinion. 10 to the head and 12 on the crits 8)

pheonixstorm · « **Reply #28 on:** 12 August 2015, 02:03:26 »

It won't feel the same as using my RP Hammers, but its just so sexy I don't even care. Must have a full lance of the new Warhammer sexyness [drool]

WarGod · « **Reply #29 on:** 13 August 2015, 07:14:24 »

it almost warms my cold black heart. So WHEN DO THE REST OF US GET THEM??????? When will we see new marauders? I need to know. I have pheonix warhammers, and such that need to be made into wrecks or something.
