wow

Suddenly I don't care about rumors of GW's spore pod.

[MadCowCrazy]

Dont get this wrong but that looks like some kind of fleshlight toy. Google if you dont know what a fleshlight is.

[The Hivemind]

As nice as your stuff is, I do have to agree with MadCowCrazy...that thing does look like it belongs on a more X rated site...

I have to agree. I didn't know the name of it. Now I know.

This is so wrong chapterhouse. Do you guys have a fetish with the Ravener gun by chance?

This definently needs a resculpt. While it's beautifully done with the detail, it is just wrong.

My first impression wasn't a Spore Pod at all, I thought the top looks like what a Tevrigon might have, and the bottom, was a swollen, you know what, or a baby about to pop out of a you know what.

I will have to say no to this one. I know you guys take critisim really well. I love the quality but how can I buy this and let my son play with this? My wife will KILL me. Sorry it's a no go.

[Loken]

Yeah, not a fan. I love most of your stuff, but this is a miss. You ain't going to get relief from all the jokes. I have seen a lot of different things people are using for their pods, and most look better.

Please take it as constructive criticism. I like you guys and what you do.

Well I have to degress, H.R. Geigers aliens as well as alot of Tyranid models have biological components. Even the books relay that. Honestly, if your son does play with this piece, would he even have any idea, if he did have an idea he did not get it from this model.

Being adults I would think you guys could see why we went this route, Nids are being born out of the pod.

It is not like there are breast and thighs and legs attached to this model. Its a biological orifice or mouth or portal, nothing more or less.

Actually I like it. It captures the essence of what it is quite well and is better than anything else I've seen so far.

GW has released some "dodgy" figures in the past such as the last edition of the metal daemonettes and players loved them. The FW Keeper of Secrets usually turns up in someone's army at larger events but lets face it, you petty much have to be an adult to afford that much resin so you're unlikely to see a 13 year old with one.

Maybe my views are skewed because I only tend to play against other adults and so figure they're old enough to deal with it sensibly but the pod is a specialist piece of kit and you won't see one in the shop front window of a GW shop so "what's the problem?"

[Eyespy]

Google if you dont know what a fleshlight is.

If you don't know what a fleshlight is, revel in your blessed ignorance.

[Duncndisorderly]

Does it come with a crotchless attachment?
Actually I thought this was pretty cool, my buddy is a big nid player and his attempt at a pod was far more x-rated, i guess its all in the eye of the beholder
