@@rufioho I look forward to covering it, but first I have to make a start with it. My holidays from work are long over December, so I think that might be a prime time for me to really dig in to some Turnip fun!
@@rufioho I will be having a go at making a couple of cults. The main one I will focus on first is the brotherhood of greed, and then the Lopers of Maudlin Marsh. Got some fun kit washing ideas to try out.
@@ZombieSashimi The brotherhood of greed were my first cult, I love how they play! And you can't go wrong with any of the cults in turnip! Wish you the best of luck!
Great video! Given budget considerations, the newer Warcrow sculpts look good, but Infinity would get priority. Love that the N5 rules will be digital and free. NerdvanaMinis O12 look really good.
The Malignos is an awesome sculpt (it's a few years old now as I recall) . The Shasvastii as a whole are just a stellar set of models, I can't think of a particularly poor one off hand. Really great mix of design both in game design and sculpting. I guess the JSA are getting Nanoscreens and plasma weapons because the EI wants to destabilise the Human Sphere for some inscrutable purpose (it presumably wants control of Aleph as a potentially ascendant capable AI). The Yambabushi could do with a bigger or more sculpted beard but otherwise a great sculpt. New Raveneye, pretty cool as well, as is the original one. Generally like the new JSA sculpts, occasionally dipping deep in the "add more detailed shit as a substitute for strong forms and posing" that appears more often than it should in the last few years. The Kurayami Ninja is a missed opportunity when you see the awesome Beyond Box artwork, diving forward on one leg, could have been a dream of flowing cloth with hints of armour beneath and the sculpt is awkwardly squatting on a submerged dog kennel making him look like he's wearing a large nappy. I just feel in my bones, that the new Pandora, with the gorgeous spy pose in the concept art is going to be in some oddly static pose, swinging an oversized baton in the sculpt. Also, meant with affection - very amusing that you are a white guy, living in Japan who plays a cyberpunk themed skirmish game, based on anime, who doesn't like anime. Perhaps you've wondered occasionally why Joan has blonde hair? :D
The Shasvastii are great! Love them to bits and would quite happily own every one of them. Yeah, I am a walking contradiction. But it is not that I don't like anime, I do love some specific stuff, but never got into it to go down the rabbit hole. I absolutely loved GitS when I was a lad and seeing the influence of that in much of Infinity has probably got a lot to do with why I like it. As for Joan of Arc, I am vaguely aware of a Joan of Arc anime character somewhere, but never made the connection.
@@ZombieSashimi contradictions make people and life more interesting. Joan is loosely based on Saber from the Fate series, in which heroes from history and myth are summoned and bound into a vessel and fight as servants in a battle royale between mages for the 'holy grail'. It was originally a light novel but I saw the 2004 anime (forgive the assumption but we're probably similar early 80s vintage). I'd guess it probably influenced the idea of the aleph recreations.
Hi mate, another great video thank you! I believe you have Lotta and the Prime warrior the wrong way around! Lotta is described as having a whip in the rulebook!
@@aidan2757 oh, interesting, thank you. I don’t have the book and assumed the models were displayed in the same way as the Hegemony set, character at the front and unnamed at the back.
The concerning price point i totally understand, i was looking at parra bellum models and theyre beautiful but just can't justify the price, love your work on the wardens showing that sometimes simple is effective! Thank you for the showcase of ionus always appreciated!
La figurine coute 21€ en UE, moins les -20/-30% chez les détaillants, le problème chez vous c'est que vous payez en plus les frais de port et de douane, et le problème pourrait empirer avec les taxes sur le carbone pour les importations/exportations dans les années à venir. Et le problème bien sûr est le choix de CB de faire payer le cout réel de la figurine plutôt que d'étaler les couts dans la gamme, et ils ne font même pas l'effort de viser une fabrication peu chère comme enlever les tactical rocks. Du côté des consommateurs de l'UE on commence à rencontrer le problème que CB vend majoritairement dans une zone de plus en plus riche, les USA, qui ont maintenant deux fois notre PIB. Quand vous avez la possibilité de vendre à des riches vous n'êtes pas entrainé à vendre moins cher. Et deuxième effet cumulatif, qui est le fait que GW a une position de monopole dans le secteur et cette marque est la plus chère, se permettant même de faire une inflation plus importante que les couts, du coup il y'a même pas d'effet de concurrence sur les prix. On est dans un marché mondial qui ne se bat plus sur les prix pour attirer le consommateur, même les imprimeurs 3d ne sont pas concurrentiels. L'avenir dans 20-40 ans hors US, étant donné qu'il va être déflationniste, le PIB étant prévu de décroitre de moitié essentiellement à cause de la démographie, ça va être d'acheter comme les espagnols ou les polonais quand ils étaient pauvres, c'est à dire soit acheter le moins cher existant, soit se concentrer sur une seule marque/jeu. Enfin s'il y'a encore des éditeurs de jeux dans 30 ans, car vu la moyenne d'âge des clients, c'est pas sûr que CB ou GW existe encore pour vendre aux 300 nerds de 65 ans qui restera et pas sûr que ces 30 nerds avec leur pension de retraite aient de quoi payer ces figurines à 25 euros l'unité.
@@waardlafrance110 My biggest issue is the weakness of the yen. In the last year the price of anything abroad has increased dramatically. Luckily there is a retailer for CB products here, so I can avoid getting hit with shipping and import fees.
Turnip est un bel univers, c'est surtout pour les convertisseurs fous qui ont du stock de rabiots, perso j'avais repéré le jeu par le biais de black site studio qui avaient fait un sous-jeu et une gamme de figurines dédiées très belles.
