RP Review: GW WH40k Genestealer Cults Aberrants
Another miniature review from Mcfonz, this time looking at Aberrants for the Genestealer Cults army which is part of the Warhammer 40,000 wargame. I have included a link to them in their webstore but you will also be able to find them in Warhammer stores (shout out to the Norwich store crew) as well as your friendly local gaming stores (flgs). Some very nice brutish mutie xenos for those of you who like your sci fi games.

RP Review: Wargames Atlantic 28mm Fantasy Halflings
zhlédnutí 201Před 3 lety
Mcfonz turn to do another review, this time looking at Wargames 28mm Atlantic Fantasy Halflings. A very nice set that at the time of writing is on offer for £20 from Wargames Atlantic direct. The set contains 40 multi-part miniatures which means they are coming in at 50p each - too good to pass up if you are looking to make an army of them! You can find them on their webstore here: wargamesatla...

RP Review: Reaper Bones T Rex and Apes
where was this made, in an underground vault?
Wtf are you working in a cave? We are all now dumber for having watched. It's not too late to delete this. 🤦
Thanks this video helped me. I was about to send it back. Dremel owes you a commission.
Stop the swearing. Totally unnecessary. I will not watch more of your videos.
Shite video, even for 7 years ago
Do the bladegheists! Do The Bladegheists!! DO THE BLADEGHEISTS!!!
Nice review, sadly these figures are simply not "undead looking" enough for my tastes.
I just needed to see this used in a very basic, overview way. It served my purposes and everyone else can piss off about the lighting and the swearing. Thanks for the video.
same
have you done any frostgrave?
Jesus! This guy is a disaster
Awesome! Would love to see more of them
Q can you tell me the size comparison between reaper bones Ogres and the whiz kids ogres
Not very good at demo's are you.
Why post something shot in the dark? Useless, sorry.
All good info boss but try lighting other than the 60watt bulb you used here 😎
Wow, dude, you need brighter and more light in your shop! I pray you don’t work power tools in that lighting.
You're really bogging down that motor. Not good for the tools longevity.
Thanks for the review! I was hoping to get a closer look at this model. I'm considering spending my mantic points on it. Looks great 😄
Couldn't get past the poor lighting.
Love the reviews. Hope to see you doing more.
My ones arrived yesterday. Nice minis.
I was looking for a video on the consistency of Scale75 Black Metal. This was exactly what I needed. PS - love the ska music.
Thanks dude, it's great to know these little review vids are helping folk make informed decisions about the things they want to buy! The ska music is actually used with permission from the band. One of my (mcfonz) regular gaming buddies plays trombone!
It's runny because it's meant to be used in an airbrush right out of the bottle.
Buy some lighting!!!

The plumed helmeted ethereal looking figures look like they blend well with the Revenants and might make good wraiths.

Hi there, I'm not sure what you mean? This video was shot all in one take.
Portrait mode? Makes it hard to watch.
Short comment: armour, weapons, shields and even the weird helmet match bronze age stuff, which fits because bronze keeps well and there was a tradition of burying the dead with their weapons.
Now that's one disguisting creature. I absolutely love it😊
(mcfonz) Thanks dude! Really appreciate it. I still love this army and keep adding to it.
1st corps have oxen
Nice clear review thanks. I’ve got some WA stuff being delivered, looking forward to trying it out
well detailed figures!
They are lovely models, a real treat to paint! (mcfonz)
@@RandomPlatypus 😊
What an awesome set!
It really is!
Very nice review.
Glad you enjoyed it!
look good for goth cav
cool
Yeah, nice miniatures aren't they?!!
@@RandomPlatypus yeah
Will it work on a 1" thick plank?
If you order more than £20's worth direct from Renedra, you get free postage in the UK.
Bleached bone is a little lighter than ushabti bone. good vid mate :)
Frontal lobe: Hmh, lovely paint job. Imagine a lobster or crab set? Back of my mind: ONLY GOOD BUG IS A DEAD BUG! DO YOUR PART AND SIGN UP TODAY! Would you like to know more?
The technique he uses to add water to blurr out the edges is called "feathering" :)
This looooks awesome
(mcfonz) Thanks dude. Probably one of the few paint jobs I am truly satisfied with.
Gloss varnish just WORKS for Tyranids, particularly on their carapace sections or scything claws.
I don't like bugs. This is creepy asf. So f--- you for this, and I mean that in the most respectful way possible.
(mcfonz) Thanks sir! And yes, that is what I aimed for so thanks for the respect and praise. :)
For anyone wondering the intro song is Nobody Speak by Run The Jewels
Is this a disco light review or?
Ive assembled and painted two Carnifex in my time painting, and i have NEVER seen those claw types in the kit, where on earth did you get those fantastic specimens?
(mcfonz) Hi Tennetry Nighthawk, the awesome claws are from the Haruspex kit as can be seen here: www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Haruspex I managed to get some in a bits box and the listing said "monstrous crushing claws" so that's what I gave it! :) Hope that helps!
@@RandomPlatypus Absolutely helps, and explains why iv never seen them before now, thank you very much and well done and salvaging them from a bits box, I imagine they are extremely rare in that instance. Thanks
