I've seen empire soldiers carrying bigger ones around their neck.

It's cause we're BadAss and not afraid to show it.
The greatest form of control which can go on forever until it is exposed is a tyranny you can't see, touch and taste (unlike totalitarian Govts). When you sit in a prison cell but can't see the bars, because people don't rebel against not being free when they think they're are.

So I don't think that the skull temple is that bad.  If anything deserves to have giant stone skulls, it would be a temple of Khorne.  But go on, making fun of the skulls is a time honored tradition.  At least they aren't passing it off as a temple of Sigmar... that would require giant hammers or something.

Giant hammers made out of skulls, clearly.

The temple of (giant) skulls looks to be £17.60. The only alternative I've seen available is this which is about £14-£15 and after you've spent further time and money "pimping" it out you've probably spent at least as much as the GW skullfest would have cost you.

Maybe GW have the price set to sell well on the Chaos terrain at least?

I think those skull are stone.  Looks okay though.

The Australian price is $170  :-( for the battallion. I guess it could've been worse (60 quid normally translates to 180 over here)

If we base our greatsword price as equivalent to flaggelants at 40 its a "saving" of $25.
If we base it on their price this goes up by $29 to $54.

I'd likely get the Battalion if I were desperate for Goldswords because I could honestly use the other parts, even the knights. Don't really see new knights coming for a while and the old ones aren't exactly atrocious if good stuff is done with them. The B&P has had some great examples of really nice looking knights.

Not that I'm anything other than a crap painter, but still.

This is Paint in Progress, so not finished!

Purty.

Still not getting those greatswords though. Did my yearly birthday GW trip and they tried to make me preorder them or something when I bought* an empire piece (had bought for me*). I said I wouldn't due to price, he said that people are kicking up too much fuss about it.

I liked how he intends to use them though (though question his sanity, but then he gets a discount). Use the greatswords legs, body and head, crossbow arms, and TK shields to make Braganzas Beseigers (sp?).

He creeped out my mother which made the trip worthwhile by itself.  :engel:
I thought he should act responsibly and just kill himself.

How many sets of sword arms in the GS box?

22 Swordarms (but a few less off-hands) in 6 sprues (3 differents). To be honest, the poses are a lil bit limited, some of the heads have feathers that block the swords.

Shouldn't be too hard to chop them off though, or even use different heads?

Yea seriously what self respecting man would cut his feather off.

There are three things each man judges another man by;

1. The size of his Codpiece
2. The amount of skullz he carries
3. The length of his feather*


1 and 3 are rather similar but sometimes a guy is whearing a cloak or helmet which obscures the codpeice/feather

Well thats true, but its kinda construction error. It just doesn't makes any sense. The parts from the box are neat and everything, but to be honest i don't see anybody buying that box 3 times for a regiment. One box to convert inner circle knights, building heros etc. yes, but not a regiment.

Boxes to build Inner circle knights? Whatfor!
There are enough hammers to go around if you really need it in the knights box, and frankly, my Great weapon IC knights will be armed with all the chunky stuff left on the flaggelant frame!

Wow, that seems like a lot. Also, are some of them on the command sprue? Otherwise I can't see how you can fit 22 swords on 6 identical sprues.

There is no such thing as command sprue. The greatsword sprue (5 models) is originally made of three frames, which are then separated to fit in the box. When SiamTiger says 6 sprues, it means two of each frames.
