Please, please, please, please post a link or tell me where on the SG site it is.

OK, now I have seen the picture. First I am going to say "Eaewww".

The sad thing is I like the model for some kind of Eldar Special Forces guy or some thing. It does not look Epic in scale to me at all, further it seems to be a major shift in the overall Eldar look. This combined with the Tau seem to suggest a major Anime feel to some of their races.

I think I will stick to my "Old School" originals for now.

Dafrca,

Thanks for the photo!

It looks too much like 28mm Wraithguard to be a Revenant.

It would make a better Phantom.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Yep, I am having a hard time seeing it as an epic scale anything. Now to be honest, I like the look, but it is just not an Eldar Titan to me.

If this is where they are going with the Titans, I wonder if they are changing the overall look. Would not be the first time the Eldar got a make over in Epic.

on the playtest forum, someone who disliked the "40k scale" look suggested to fill up the visor on the helmet to make it look more liike a wraithGuard or another "wraith-thing".
I think it may indeed work... the anime-look come mostly from the pose i think; in fact it make me think of 40k aspects warrior, so it must still be quite eldar-ish... While the "wrong scale" feeling bother me, i must say i consider the design is quite pleasing to my taste, and it look quite eldarish to me.

I think what is missing for me is the sense of size. When I look at the original Eldar Titans there is a sense of mass dispite their thin structure. Same goes for many of the Epic models, they "feel" large.

I look at this model and I only feel the shape not the "size". I think that is what makes it feel like a 28mm model rather then an epic titan.

Now the fun part is how to get that feeling back?

Well, sorry stormseer, but as i read the 2 forum, i often forgot on which one i read some idea (mind you, many idea and opinions are represented here and at the playtest forum), or on which i read it first, and makes a mess of quoting.
Well, back to the scale issue : i wonder if basing will not save the revenant, as simple as it is, specially as the pose will let a lot of space on the titan base. ruins, wrecked vehicules or infantry will easily change it all; painting can also give proper sense of scale, but it may be quite hard to achieve (take a look at This to see what i'm speaking about; i'll concede that the photo is partly responsible for the feeling of hugeness of this mini).

To sumarize my opinions; i quite like the mini, even if i was at first quite surprised, but i'll reserve further opinions for when i've seen it painted and based (Maybe Mr Skull will show it to us once he's done with the buggar ? if he is the comissioned guy for it ? please ?).
