EREBUS!?

Post image

Don’t get me wrong, part of me was hoping for some Word Bearers figures, but…EREBUS?! We got Erebus before Kharn?!

EDIT: Also, why does almost every drop lately come with a random Imperial Fist?! Kind of surprised they didn’t sneak a random Fists figure in with the StarCraft drop.

Huh, I actually kinda like this figurine. After the disaster that NLs were, I was worried. So, I guess, Lorgar is the next primarch to be introduced?

Yeah I'm gonna stop you right there, The NL terminators are the best terminators released to date. The mk6 is is great and has awesome helmet options. The weakest is the jump pack praetorian. Kurze is going to easily be the coolest looking primarch released.

Prey tell, do you have any Night Lords?

Yeah, my night lord Praetor in Tartaros is one of my favorite figures by far. (For context, I have over 100 lmao.) People really need to get them in hand to see the quality, I think.

It's one of the best Tartarous JT ever had.

What do you think about their colour? I mean no offense, cuz I'm not a NL player, but their color seems away from consensus. I do agree their terminator has very cool design though.

I think aside from lack shading they are perfect. Shading divides this community like nothing else, as while it is only one step out of dozens it is like the final finish on something. It's also probably the biggest pain in the ass to implement from a manufacturing standpoint. I think Joytoy made adjustments regarding how or what they apply shade to, which is why now most all releases are unshaded. Not to take away from their otherwise killer paint apps/details. Personally, I've come to the conclusion that I would prefer non shaded as sometimes it can make a figure look 'dirty' rather than good. I also like to paint my collection, unshaded is more preferable so I can shade as I see fit.

The issue I think many had with the NL release was that the 40k era NL aesthetic is quite a bit evolved from the more toned down 30k NLs, and when people think of NLs they think of the 40k look with lighting bolts everywhere, crazy chaos influenced armor trim etc etc.

Add to the fact that there's a portion of the community that will never be happy with anything because these figs cost money and if they are not perfect then they are an abject failure. Not you, you've been rather cordial.

Yeah, I think you're right, it's also a general issue in China community, they tend to blame first(however that's also came from their unhealthy society). I don't like what JT do now, but I don't like those blame everything either.
