Yup. I was got some of those hulls too, and will convert them to being the Baals they always should have been!



OMG! YOu're right! I alway thought this was an Aquila! O.O

Heh nah.

Some batches used the standard hull, but at some point someone swapped the mould by accident and they started spinning the Baal Predator hull instead.

How long was that going on for?

It might even still be going on. The only way to find out is buy a Predator blister.

Nothing fancy. Only the Blood Angels symbol on the front.

maybe the old mold wore out and it was a money saving scheme?

I ordered some predators probably 12 months ago. They're all standard ones - no markings etc.

Also, this thread may mean that E:A predators on ebay will rise in price for a few months as everyone tries to snaffle a Blood Angel hull!

One would wonder if the standard Predator mold has worn out.

Aha!
Image


That's a resin master, that was tucked away at the side of a cabinet at Games Day 2003.

You can even see the little BA symbol on the front of the hull.
