Hi!

Excellent stuff from Rackham!!

Their offerings are getting better and better.

Can’t wait for them to be available for purchase.

i like the dasy clones because they havent strayed from the original metals. the nemesis is one of the worst minis ive seen. it looks like a bad conversion or a terrible glue/bitz box accident and i cant believe Rackham are actually producing it considering how badly its been slated, it stands close to being an embaressment for the company IMO. the executioner im not keen on but ive never been a griffons fan anyway.

anyone else waiting patiently for a PPP model to really truly wow them?

Dasyatis clone is beautiful, I love the sculpt.

Model called “Nemesis” clone is weird. The sculpt is odd, looks like the model was scratchbuilt - the pieces don’t fit with other pieces and the model as a whole. Even more interesting is that this model doesn’t look like nemesis clone - looks more like Nefarius Prime (one 2-handed- and two 1-handed weapons, Nefarius’ head, general “bulk” not typical for nemesis scout clones). The models are called Nemesis by Rackham and are to be sold 2 in a box, suggesting Nemesis evolution… Weird…

Executioner looks plain and uniteresting to me, pose could be better as mentioned above.

Did I mention I L.O.V.E. Dasyatis? Oh, sorry, I did, actually… ;-)

The arms on the Executioner look like they could be rotated without too much trouble. I think some repositioning could go a long ways to making it look more natural.

The executioner reminds me of someone guiding an airplane, except with swords =)

Well…there is a Griffin in the Temple book. :)

Hmmm upon inspecting my boxes I think you are right. 2 of them could fit in one standard box.

The boxes are rather larger than one would suspect and the minis are large but I think that two of them would fit into the standard Conf box with no problems.

The Executionner’s pose does look a little odd. It would be nice to see what the rest of the unit sculpts look like.

Gotta agree about the Executioner. I have 2 of the original ones and the pose looks awkward. Maybe I should buy another pack of metal executioners to complete my metal unit…. hmmm..

I’m surprised the clones are per box. They must not be as big as I imagined them to be.

Yeah, the executioner is much weaker than the other two. I wouldn’t have even thought they were from the same line if I wasn’t familiar with them. I wish there was some way Rackham could just drop the human factions altogether.

I’m liking both Dirz figs. The executioner doesn’t look great but you never know, it could turn out pretty good.
