For a bit of information of what a genestealer and what the tyranids are. Tyranids are an alien race in warhammer 40k that devour planets and "biomass" to make their species stronger, using the biomass to produce more, stronger tyranids Genestealers are a form of tyranids that they send onto plants via asteroids or they infiltrate ships that are heading towards a planet. They are basically scouts who destroy and scout anything that'll "stop" the rest of the tyirands from invading the planet That's what I can remember, I'm probably wrong, I love warhammer 40k and i love your vids

@kvoltti 2 года назад

additionally Genestealers infect other races so their children are human genestealer hybrids and psychically dominated by the Genestealers. they hid in the fringes of society fermenting unrest and waiting for the tyranid Hive Fleets to arrive and prior to the invasion they rise up to attack the world from within.

@bluerath 2 года назад

From what I remember the figure in the video is a pure strain gene stealer which usually come about after several generations of gene stealer cultist reproducing on the planet and they're basically the ultimate life form for gene stealers able to take on space marines and defeat them in 1 on 1 combat.

@markknox1194 2 года назад

are there females of the species and do you think in a battle, they can stand up to alien xenomorphs?

@angrycrusader7047 2 года назад

@@markknox1194 tyirands don't have a gender, they don't need gender to survive because they produce via other means And it'd depend on the xenomorph and tyranid, but most likely the tyranid would win, tyranids are the "perfect" life form, they're whole thing is whatever kills them makes them stronger, and they've been killed countless times but they always come back stronger

I'd love to get into the line, but I am a devoted Space Marine player. The fact that I can only reliably find Hellblasters despite hating the unit really kills my interest. I'll see what happens when the Reiver gets released, but if it's impossible to find like the artist proof Intercessor, then I'm just going to forget the line.

@tomtudorweaver1078 2 года назад

I saw a review of this figure a few days ago and the second I saw the notification for this review I thought 'I'm willing to bet Robo don't know Warhammer, but it's a cool looking figure'. Glad I was right, it shows off Robo's passion for the hobby not being at all restricted. It really does look awesome, your comparisons to DC, Marvel and Star Wars make sense (Book of Boba Fett episode 1 creature anyone?), but I could see it alongside NECA's Pinhead figure as a hell demon, or someone could repaint it into some kind of Symbiote type creature, or it's something for Hellboy or Spawn to fight.

@Agaminmon 2 года назад

And at the $19.99 price point nothing on the market comes even close. The recent Hasbro price increase and use of the word "Deluxe" to hike it even more means fewer Hasbro figures on my shelf this year. And leaves more room for figures like this one.. The whole Warhammer 40k line are well built well painted and great figures. I do a bit of my own touch up to weather the armor and they turn out fantastic.

@taliksanis1608 2 года назад

Your initial comments on their function as moderately generic aliens was spot on. I actually picked up a pair of them to serve as "White Martians" in a display alongside Martian Manhunter. Edit: Ah, having reached that part of the video, I see that I'm not alone in that.

Great review Robo! Your thought process for getting this was the exact same as mine, lol. Don't know much about the Warhammer story but the designs & figures are great. McFarlane is killing it with these and I can't wait to use the genestealer around my collection. I could see him fitting in well with Mythic Legions also.

@gigashock237wilde7 2 года назад

The Necrons are pretty good too. I got a few of the Flayed Ones and two warriors. To me they are worth getting. The Orks are also interesting for big bruisers if you want more creatures for your shelves.

@murder101storytime Год назад

These figures are amazing. This figure is actually why I started getting into Warhammer lore and media. I took mine though and painted it and added custom bits to make it into an Archville to pose in a fight with my Doom Guy figure in a ring of fire.

@jasoncaldwell5627 Год назад

Picked this up off Amazon for $17 on sale and it's become my favorite figure of the year! I currently have mine sitting in a throne, reading the (Marvel Select Doom accessories) Darkhold and Book of The Vashanti. The open books fit perfectly into the Genestealer's bigger open claws. As an evil extradimensional horror to fight Doctor Strange, it's perfect.

@rsaaland 2 года назад

Hugely appreciate the review. Nice to see this line get a video with Fwoosh's production values and Robo's insights. The line itself really does have releases that feel like McFarlane's bringing their A-game. For the price point, the Necrons are great and even the Space Marines can compete with the Bandai release with just some quick painting and a minor modification for ankle rocking; the sculpt has far more appealing proportions too.

@tycondrius23 2 года назад

great review. have a few of these pre-ordered on bbts but they are not in yet so thanks for the amazon heads up. Genestealers are pretty much shock troops for the Tyranid army like the others have said they are sent in a head of the main forces to infiltrate and consume and hybridize with the inhabitants , they are definitely meant to have that crouched look over the standing upright. in addition there is also a grey Artist proof paint yourself figure with bladed arms (aka scything talons ) and chutuluesque style head ( I think called feeder tendrils)

@PrimarisBlackTemplaDraven Год назад

I wish they released other Genestealers as well cause I got an entire set of the cult of the 4 armed Emperor.

I know nothing about Warhammer, but this is a badass Alien/Monster/Mutant-whatever your imagination can come up with- type of figure, and I dig it! I got 2 of these (more would be cool, but I don't army build) and the "Artist Proof" version with a different head sculpt. And $19.99 is Fan-F'n-Tastic! People are hating on McFarlane a lot these days, but personally, I've been buying a lot more McFarlane figures than anything else lately...

My first thought for variants/other lines would be a Symbiote. I fully expect McF to do a black variant to fit in with Venom. I can totally see White Martians, tho. (Less so for John Carter’s Tars Tarkas, tho.) And MCU Outriders. And Xenomorphs. Among other alien races. Savage Land Mutates had a four-armed guy (Barbarus?) and a dwarf with giant cranium (Brainulo?). Also, disappointed you don’t have a Doppelgänger, four armed Spidey (that hasn’t “donated” the extra arms), or Sugar Man to compare. 😉
