hi@all!

yesterday i got a new box of chaos infantry from GW, and i have to say the quality is incredible!

Does someone know if they made new sprues or changed the technique?

because i'm thinking about ordering a SM box to see if they look as good as the chaos do!

cheers,

Those were the last sprues made for Epic: 40k, there were almost all made from new masters, except for the beastmen; so, that's probably why they look so good still.

All the other sprues re-used a lot of masters from old models, they still look decent, but aren't really *WOW!* quality.

just noticed something interesting:

the description in the online-store describes the Epic chaos minis to be 8mm!

I believe that "8mm" was a typo that's never been corrected.

EPIC is classified as a "6mm wargame"... but that doesn't mean a lot of pieces are out of scale.

Coincidentally I received my first ever new Chaos Sprues in the post yesterday. You’re right they do look fantastic :smile:

What is going on with the Terminators feet though? They all seem to just have one giant toe, which just looks too tall and a bit odd. Was trying to work out if it was part of them or if they were standing on something for a bit, but I think it is the former.
