They are Newline. I painted an army a few years back for Lion Rampant, as I had a mate with a Sea Peoples army - so obviously, I've barely seen the guy since and they've never been on the table.
Really nice figures but closer to 25mm than the bigger 28+mm you get from Warlord etc.

I'm pretty sure it's from Reaper.

I got all excited after you posted a photo of a game and have just got around to finishing this God!

I just got fed a post on Facebook by a podcast (I've never heard of) where they apparently discuss why female custodes are being shoved down people's throats.
These are my favourite of the completely normal replies.

I don't understand why they have issues with how a geneticly modifed person dangles

I was starting to think it was just me, and I had a problem.

Ah, the EW GIRLS, option.

Valid.

My head cannon is still that first born gene seed was limited and badly flawed on purpose - the big E always wanted a get out clause like the Thunder Warriors.
Crawl has just made the gene seed E should have done - which should include XY chromosome options

That would work for me.
The can't becomes ingrained dogma rather than physical impossibility.

That's my only ever issue with fluff changes.
Does it go against something that has been said before?

Female custodes - nothing explicit. So it's fine.
Female first born marines - fluff says it's incompatible. Not ok then.
Primaris, however, this is entirely new fluff you can play with.

I'm pretty sure GW just haven't mentioned it since as it just hasn't come up in conversation.
While those who hate it assume silence is a retcon.

I love the idea of women in the custodes and, ultimately, wouldn't be upset if it turned out Primaris allows it too.

Thank you

Is it the caulk/grout/paint mix on a dust sheet method I've seen a fair bit online?
I tried a test field with that once and just could not work with the mix, but others have great results.

Stunning. It's absolutely stunning.

I would love to build a board like that for my Agincourt games.

I was gutted when Hobby Craft stopped selling them.
I used to just buy them in batches of however many I could physically carry.
