It looks like a combination of disparate ideas all thrown together onto one model. I can imagine a fevered design session now: "Let's have a peg-leg! Garrr, Oim a pirate! And on the other leg, uh...a platform shoe! With high heels, 'cos it's a girl! And we'll have abig hook on one arm, gar! I'm a pirate again! And a big whip on the other arm, 'cos it's a girl who likes inflicting pain, oooh, you like that don't you!" etc. Cack.
Go on the Space Wolves though, and the seated Elysians look cool. Hilariously, with that 'work in progress' sign next to them, it looks as if they're on the 08:30 being shuttled off to their day jobs at the office. With guns.
Ok, I didn't agree with you at first on the looking naff thing, but you do put forward a very convincing argument. But did you see the model in context with other models in the line? It seems to fit in well there.
You're very funny, by the way :D
Thanks for the nice comments BTW Guy! And no I haven't yet seen the other models, but I can imagine that with them all assembled, it looks like a troup of Borg can-can dancers with fetish accessories. Am I anywhere close to the mark?
Here's a pic of an older model: http://djartistknight.deviantart.com/art/GD-09-...
Xenos with Deathwatch
Mallius (Daemon Hunters) with Grey Knights
Hereticus Witchhunters) with Sisters of Battle
Makes sense to group them into 1 Codex as they do Ally with each other when it benefits or suits them.
Deathwatch are just elite Space Marines from multiple chapters, nothing more (aside from the equipment/weapons).
If they put Deathwatch in the book, it would effectively kill the need for Space Marines, since Deathwatch are the 'best of the best'.
Inquisition here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And on the Necromunda comment above, I have heard that it is being remade along the same lines as space hulk was. Very early still just talk.
And Space Hulk really is limited editionto all those nay sayers out there. When they are gone they are gone.

It clearly utilizes technology (40K), is skinny (Eldar), intent on inflicting pain (Dark Eldar), and bizarre (Grotesque).
we have a winner
Lesson to the rest of us: Any model ever is a DE/Inquisition/Mechanicus or what ever we want through the power of superglue and bitz. Or, in a word- Conversion!
My first thought was Mechanicum, but on second thought I have to be a Inquisition thing.

Yea I said it's crap. A bunch of Blood Angel Wannabees =)
You people have wired ideas. Was sold by BL Publishing but discontinued. As Black Library is just doing books now and not cool stuff anymore.
not that that has anything really to do with it...
- could be a chaos daemon thing, but it looks too mechanical
- could be a mechanicus servitor or something, but too menacing looking
- oooh, maybe its an assassin, but a peg legged assassin? no chance
i'm out
yeah i did click through those posts, theyre bang on. still havent got a clue what theyre talking about though. :D
I saved all the images of the femmes and this on is slightly diffrent but deffantly one of them. They could be using them as grotesque i serpose
(Have I squeezed in enough ill informed internet nonsense yet? No?)
.. and I have it on good authority from a GW store manager that Bugman's Barroom board game is going to be upgraded to a core game, with 22/7 new armies being designed for it by a specialist team of New Zealand pygmies allowed only to sculpt in the light of the full moon, in the new standard GW scale of 23.6mm, and will be out in time for Christmas for 5 dollars each.
Now I'm off to tell everyone that Jervis Johnson just said...
I've not seen the relevant artwork or model before, but it practically screams out as one of Blanches imperial studies.
I think it's a stunning model, and I look forward to seeing more of the same style of work. I always thought GW should promote their staff to release models individually to a new ruleset release, simply to bulk out the choices we have.
They must have a staff full of people making unique models in their spare time, why not release them?
Cataphractii.
I really like the Femme Milinant miniatures, so beautifully Blanche-ish sick.
Well, you COULD use this rare collectors miniature as a stylish Dark Eldar Grotesque or something, but...
A limited range of miniatures, 54mm based on J. Blanche´s designs.
Search "Femme Militant" at Collmini to see another models.
pegleg.................check
eyepatch..............would have thought so
i've got it its a new range of GW SPACE PIRATES!!!!!!
The inquisition might have mechanical monstrosity's similar to this, but the design screams Dark Eldar to me. It could be a grotesque, or it could be a completely new unit, lets face it, the DE haven't been updated since the start of third edition, they NEED and update.
EDIT
Oops, should've read everyone else's posts before posting myself, it does indeed look almost exactly like the female militant... GW could be using that model as a template for something new, it is an absolutely brilliant model and using a Gamesday model to create a new line would be a great idea (provided that they pay the original artist).
The mini has been confirmed as a Femme Militant.
Now exactly what a Femme Militant is...is actually. Other than a set of models made from JB's artwork, I am not exactly sure.
Are they Imperial agents? or just a bunch of forgotten citizens in a warzone? chaos cultists?
then I was then extremely disappointed when I found out it wasn't. For the love of the dark Gods, show Dark Eldar some love for once GW!
Thigh high spike heeled platform boot stolen from Gene Simmons dressing room: check
One boob: Check
Whip: Check
Straps and buckles: check.
Whatever it is, I'd say it was dedicated to slaanesh. stretch the whip out and the arm with the sickle and she/it becomes a living symbol of the Deviant One.
read the many many many times above this post that it has been said...its not slaaneshi, its not dark eldar or necrons...its not your mum's new mistress... its an evil bitchfeatures that works for one of the more shady arms of the imperium aka the "good" guys.
I have learned to read and it is not a dark eldar...I am a sad panda...
-It was commercially released and sold via GW distribution
- Blanche had the sketches and painted examples on his own site for a LONG time
-ANYONE could have simply asked the Games Day people and identified it, as well.
But instead, BoLS posts this and doesn't do ANY basic homework, which starts an entire chain of retarded, uninformed comments, which then proceeds to ripple throughout the internet. "OMG Dark Eldar- I saw it on BoLS".
The fact that it was identified by readers quickly, and that people STILL posted inaccurate "guesses" should be surprising, but unfortunately just confirms that people don't read, nor pay attention.
Had BoLS taken a few minutes and identified the mini to start with, it wouldn't have started a chain reaction of misinformation that will inevitably spread today. It's just sloppy work, and could have easily been avoided.
Goddammit, that's the second time in a couple of weeks (after that "AdMech"-Terminator) and it's just frikking annoying.
If you want to be frontline news and rumours, do your homework.

From the "femme militant" serial.
(sorry if somebody already posted it, too lazy to check precisely^^)
I have no idea what the hell it is, but it sure is Imperium.
Chaos reaver looks delicious, space wolfs look tasty and the Elysians look epic.
Awesome stuff.
