Also consider, that older models - while looking less dynamic - also often function better as a game piece. They don't brake as easy, are faster to paint and could be easier to spot on the table.

I've got a 3d base designed for the old Be'lakor ready to print. It's a raised base that lifts him to the size of the new model and has him standing above carved demon princes of the 4 chaos gods.

Looking forward to printing and painting this, almost done with my Orks so I can start working on my demons again! Thank you for the inspiration! Buying old models and modeling large bases for them is a ton of fun and you're a huge inspiration there!

There is a problem with these new giant-size miniatures: They are fragile as hell, and I think they are deliberately designed to be fragile. I've got an Archaon Everchosen still in progress; it's fully assembled but I broke a chain and a crow while building it (I am quite careful handling models) and the way it's supposed to secure ot the base is a joke; no amount of polystyrene cement is ever going to make it secure, so I ditched the plastic base for a wooden coaster base, added some scenery and pinned the tail into the scenery and heavily glued the scenery so that nothing would break off under the weight of the model. I added a rock-wall piece at the back to act as a handle. I reckon the Archaon Everchosen model normally has a lifespan of about two games before it gets badly broken to the point where it would have a badly reduced resale value. Also, if you ever build on of those things, be ready to run the wing parts under hot/boiling water to bend them into correct position, they do not go together easily. I wish I had; even after much sanding and filling there is a visible gap. I would also run a piece of brass rod all the way through the tail & body (and fill with milliput) BEFORE assembly as reinforcement. Something I noticed about old school metal miniatures is that they make much better figures as playing pieces; I'm not sure if that's by design or coincidental, but they are compact and rank up nice and square like chess pieces.

But let me tell you this: glueing the old Metal Belakor together took me 35 tries with diffent superglues and green stuff. I permanently lost a piece of his tail. His feet don't place on the base well. His sowrd hand still falls off sometimes. The plastic one fits like a glove, is very secure on his base and his big wings I magnetized (easy with plastic models) for transport, but they would have fit perfectly as well.

For me, three big reasons to save old models is (a) to see how far you've gone, (b) because they're a piece of history, and (c) you never know when you'll use them. It doesn't even have to be in the original game! I've got a whole bunch of early 1990s pewter Brettonian models, and the unpainted/marginally painted ones have found a wonderful home with my Frostgrave mercenaries. Meanwhile, my metal Hellhound made a nice display piece to go alongside my Krieg killteam. Though in retrospect, I *deeply* regret removing the paint from my old sorceress - lost some history there. But the minimally painted stuff? Fair game!

Personal preference: would've done less white on the face. It's flat ghostly. Would've liked some yellow in the base glow for fresh hellfire look. Could've been echoed in the sword instead of green for compositional balance. Would've liked some spiky up bits added to the base, as if he fell like a meteor from the sky and cratered the ground so hard it created a dimensional rift.

More coulda been done to actually tell a story or have -something- done with it to be more visually interesting in that large empty space.

@@eBayMiniatureRescues Yeah, the heat can help like that, but don't sit them in there too long. I don't know if you've experienced this yet with finecast, but if the model is already warm when you expose it to the ultrasonic it has the effect of shot-blasting it. It'll pit the miniature (like finecast needs any help in that department) and tear open any weaknesses in the resin. I found out the hard/expensive way with some old hive guards. I haven't had to resort to that method for a while now, but when I did I used 5 minute bursts, letting the model cool off in some cold water for a couple of minutes before the next round.

I love it. The head is a bit too white for my tastes but that is the only thing I have to criticize. I have owned the pewter version of this model since about 2005 (still unpainted) and use him as a Daemon Prince of Chaos Undivided with wings for my Black Legion. I also use the old pewter Great Unclean One as a Daemon Prince of Nurgle. The "normal" old pewter Daemon Prince I use as a Daemon Prince of Khorne. The Nurgle one is almost done painting and I think it is my best paintjob to date. I plan to top it with new plastic Abaddon though. One thing I found is that is is very hard to find good painting tutorials for the old pewter models. Sometimes they even barely show up on Google Image Search. So thank you for posting this. I might have to start painting old Belly K soon now. 😀

As far as playing the old models, everyone's play group is going to be slightly different. In competitive 40k the general rule of thumb for this is that your model should still resemble the new one as well as cast a similar silhouette. If its questionable if your model can be seen or see, your opponent generally gets to make the call. This is not so much specifically rules regarding new versions of models, but rather a rule meant to prevent modeling for advantage (which is a whole different issue) new vs old versions of models just happen to get caught in the crossfire. If you are ever unsure, ask your TO. If its a casual game, just let your opponent know before hand and if theyre upset you dodged a bullet anyways....

Base size only becomes an issue in tournament play. If its casual pickup game at a local store or in your friends kitchen then last I checked unless they changed it, models are to be based on thr base they're supplied with. Now if that base size happens to.be smaller tham current but it was the size the model you have was supplied with on issue, then leaving it on the same size is fine. Only tournaments would make a.stink because of measuring distances. If.you rolled up and dropped some old space marines terminators for.chaos and this guy, I wouldn't say a thing.

I use a concentrated degreaser called LA's Totally Awesome, but anything similar should work and not hurt the resin. I also use a sonic jewelry cleaner to speed up the process. It's not necessary to have one, but it really does make it easier!

I use LAs totally Awesome which is a concentrated degreaser. It works great and I’ve never had any issues with plastic or resin. If you use a sonic cleaner then the only issue you can run into it how hot the sonic cleaner makes the liquid. I ended up getting one with a temp gauge so I could monitor that. It mostly applies to resin models, they can get real bendy, on the other hand, you can also fox bendy resin models that way.

Loads of the old models are better than the current efforts. The 2002 SoC version of Archaon is infinitely better than than the AoS version. he's modelled on the Khurgan, and looks awesome for it, the new one just looks generic and bland in comparison. I don't know how they managed it, but the rider of the foot tall, three headed, dragon, actually has less presence than the Spikey Horsie Boii

Kind of. I know what you mean, and how it seems, but I get emails all the time asking to do a video in exchange for a printer. Normally I have a sponsored fee for a video, not including the printer, lots of companies say no, or have strict guidelines for videos. Elegoo said they would do some sponsored stuff at a later date with another printer, and then proceeded to send me this one for nothing. No obligations or contracts, no money exchanged for a job to sponsor a product. Turns out, it's a very good printer, so I wanted to share my thoughts. I'm sure that's part of their plan, but I could have sold the printer in the box new and they would have never asked me about it again, so it seems fair.
