    Talking about this kit like a Gunpla kit is exactly how I've felt building Age of Sigmar models. Even small kits like the new Saurus warriors have these complex, beautifully interlocking shapes that give amazing poses, clear and seamless alignment, nearly no mold lines, just absolutely perfect.

      Plot armor levels will have to increase to a massive degree amongst the Astartes with these monsters comming for the battlefield, and they already have the thickest one in 40K. I love the Tyranids, but It's getting harder each year to conceive a way this galaxy can survive their onslaught for much longer, even more considering the Silent King has no plan to move against them any time soon.

      While I agree it could have been bigger, I don't personally find the stompa a very impressive model in appearance, just big. The norn looks much more interesting while still being somewhat sizeable.

      To be fair... or at the very least try and make sense of the madness, the Stompa is a big-ass bell with guns, as in, hollow in the inside, whilst this bug is full thick plastic... not to mention new, because otherwise we may end up giving ideas to GW and they will, once again, rise up the prices.

      The norn emissary could still probably rip a knight in to even if it’s smaller just with its sure power and speed like these things can kill entire squads of caustodes and one was only killed by the castodes caption just you know this is information from the lore not the game

    That conversion is awesome. The way Dave did the fingers, like the emissary is almost cradling its gory prize is incredibly evocative, and it fits the pose of the sculpt so well. It's like the model was made to tell that story. Stellar work.
    As for the kits themselves, they're cool, but holy hot damn are they way too expensive for what you get. I know it's a "broken record" statement, but good lord, the prices really are absurd.
