Forgeworld - Red Butchers.

[MajorWesJanson]

Love the fluff and the models, but the paintjob... for some reason the word that springs to mind is festive.

[RGilbert26]

Why can't Forge World paint their models nicely?

Well for starters they are not painted by anyone from 'eavy Metal, then there's the fact that a lot of the time they are painted for someone's army in Forge World/painted by a staff member.

Oh and they aren't that bad.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

It's supposed to be advertising their models, why are they not painted the best that they could be?

[eldargal]

One one hand I think it is nice that FW show models with a more achievable paintjob for most people than the Eavy Metal team but on the other hand it does make the models look a bit shabby sometimes.

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Good point.

I also think there's not a consistent painting level amongst their painted models, some of them are toasted mazeballs, and some of them are just meh.

[iheartgrimdark]

I would say that the style of painting that you see from Forge World differs from that of the 'Eavy Metal team by being a bit grittier. I tend to think this ties in well with the more grown up tone of their product.

I like them, but the fluff ? I'm not sure. Mad men who are chained up inside their suits. I don't know but I've never considered an Astartes the kind of being able to be restrained by chains. Maybe it's a combo of the deactivated armour. The other bit about the squad leader. Again why would 5 nut job space marines even have a squad leader ? The 1st part of the fluff makes these guys sound like raving maniacs hell bent on death and destruction. I'm not sure they could be led or one could lead them. Also it does remind me of the blood angels death company a bit too. I love the models though, I prefer the helmets to the bare heads.

Depends on the size of the chains?

Maybe he's not the leader, so much as the most experienced maniac? A better fighter, but not better Leadership. They're probably all Fearless anyway.

Am I the only one who's a bit over FW releasing custom Terminators for each Legion? Couldn't just one Legion have a unique troop type that isn't Terminators?

Well you've made it all make sense now . I do like them.

Likely an alpha male type thing.
