Plastic Imperial Guard BaneBlade

In the latest issue of White Dward (#333) we finally find out the price of the new plastic Imperial Guard BaneBlade.

It’s £60!

It comes in a big box and as well as seven sprues (250 odd parts) you also get a chaos sprue, a traitor sprue and an Ork sprue for potential conversions (or so I’ve heard).

I have also heard that GW shops in the UK will be getting two models around or on the 13th September. One they will be build and one to show people the parts.

It actually goes on sale on the 13th October in the UK, however I suspect that we will almost certainly see the new model on sale at GamesDay at the end of September, if it isn’t there on sale then I will eat my blog!

I do like these Epic miniatures and though they were fiddly to put together (these are the Epic40K era miniatures) compared to the current Epic Armageddon miniatures I like the flexibility that the multi-part miniatures allowed.

This Epic model is one of the more difficult models to put together with four separate rockets which really don’t want to stay on their firing rails.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, I now when giving my models a wash, add paint to the ink which removes the gloss you can see in the photograph.
