i believe its safe to say they’ll release a ridden version in the course of the next months, and if i’m allowed to make an “educated” guess i’d say it will cost 75£, like the other (2) monsters. …
definitely going to get one, but i think this ones really going to be a pain to transport
I too am going to wait until the ridden version gets released. Hopefully before Games Day.
It seems a little odd that they would release it without the rider in the first place, unless they’re trying to cash in on the Storm of Magic Bull Taurus
I have a feeling it is one of those FW figures that looks a lot better “in the flesh”. They sometimes don’t seem to capture how good they are in the photos they use on the website.
Think this is my next payday purchase. Also gives me time to finish what I have already.
I don’t know… the bull body is an awesome sculpt, sure, but those thin metal horns really need to go and be replaced with some massive Ogre-size horns. I’m also a bit concerned about the overall stability of the model. It would seem to me that clear plastic rod can’t possibly hold the model in place during transport and games and will almost certainly break at one point.
Anyone notice the inscriptions on the armour plating? These look suspiciously like cuneiform. :hat off
you´re right, it actually resembles early ugarithic cuneiform, a simplified derivative from old akkadian cuneiform written only in ugarith (today syria)… whereas old akkadian cuneiform (also sumerian, assyrian, babylonian etc.) is syllabic/logographic writing (much like modern chinese), ugarithic was the first language to use letters… some glyphs look like numbers to me, but its a bit difficult to decipher… If its got a meaning, I´ll tell you as soon as i get the model
edit: on a second look, i don´t think there´s a meaning to it… it´s more a mix-up of the simplest glyphs of different periods and languages… i´ll get back to it anyways.
I’m definitely picking one up, but not until they have the rider. I’ve really been enjoying what they’ve been putting out so far, but my wallet has not (!) DANG YOU, FORGEWORLD!!!
It looks like the back leg has a lot of glue around the hoof so that it helps with stability making the support stick less prone to breaking (probably likely to anyway, lol).
I think the mouth being open would’ve helped to make it better (in particular because of breath weapons and it’s a great big angry bull of fiery doom!).
Meh, this just sold me on the scibor version. Armor looks a little lame, flying stand with back foot touching seems an odd choice, horns look too small AND wing blades? eh.
Proof, were it needed, that taste is not so much subjective as it is completely nonsensical. I’m not massively sold on the Bale Taurus, but saying the Scibor monstrosity even compares to it is utterly laughable. At least the WF one is sculpted.
I like it, although it’s seems to be totally obvious from the arrangement of armour plating around the shoulders that it’s a riderless mount. Disappointing that they don’t seem to release these as the same time.
