I like the sleek lines. I dont want Chaos that looks like it is basically Imperial stuff with skulls and spikes. I want Chaos to be a little understated, a little more... I dont know... insidious.

I think you've got a good point, C/S.  When you think about FW Chaos vehicle designs which already exist, you have the Hell Blades & Talons - they are sleek angular, agressive looking; but as befits Chaos, they look 'wrong' for aircraft, unnatural almost... you could almost imagine that what keeps them in the air is not human technology, but something more frightful & infernal... :devil:

Although I didn't like most of these Daemon engine conectps first I saw them, when I thought about them in tandem with the Chaos Aricraft I could see where FW were coming from with these.

Perhaps the hell blade and talon are the first glimpses of a new idiom that FW is trying to make.

Hmmm... Those models have always struck me as a bit Star Warsy... then again GW ripping of SW isn't exactly a new thing *cough, sentinel, cough*

I guess that I am in the minority then, because I really like these. I think that we are all predjudiced by how Chaos has looked in the past, which I personally dont like. Yes, these things look a little like they are out of Tron, but that is OK for me.

Well... that at least makes two of us that like them C/S. :D

Sorry but i don't see ANY connection between the FW Chaos flyers and the daemonengine concepts.
The flyers are sleek, deadly looking and angular.
The FW Daemon engines look (most of them) like mechaniced slugs. To me they look like the Scarabs from the StarCraft Protoss.

But the last three i do like.

My position is that I would like to see some of them realized at 6mm scale, and some of them seem chaosy, but not traditionally chaosy.

For example, the armored maggots (pictures 0801 and 0802) are evocative of nurgle to me. 0806 and 0807, while interesting, do not seem to match my concepts of chaos.

But they do feed my hunger for armored arthropod looking things, so perhaps I'm biased.

And of course, this is all dancing on the head of a pin. Forge World will make what they want, unless we're willing to bribe them. Private entities will commission whatever they want, like I'm planning on doing for a Kess battlerider. None of us can talk another into changing their personal tastes.

It's only if we make a joint effort that consensus is required...

So Otterman has a crustacean fetish?

How... appropriate. :D

I'm also waiting for someone to sculpt an armored rock for me to smack them with.

Or perhaps planetoid bombardment is the metaphor I'm seeking?

What about GW's own special rock Otterman?

Rock!

A steal at only $1.25 Canadian per rock I might add.  :;):

Hm, that's a quality rock. I'm surprised they're not charging more for it.
