Raptors and Obliterators are the only two models types missing in my "nearly complete" Chaos army. I am slowly converting Oblits based on old robots and some Green Stuff (slowly because I am far from a sculpting expert at this scale). Raptors on the other hand are not as obviously achievable. My initial plan was to use imperial Assault Marine models but some people on this forum hinted that a good proxy might appear soon. Any idea what this might be?

There's some Exodus Wars Edenite Jump Troopers in the works. They have been sculpted, but stock haven't been cast up yet due to a busy restock schedule so I'm not entirely sure when they'll be available.

Sooner rather than later would always be preferable

Thanks. Sounds like those were the proxies in question. Do they look suitably "marinish"? Are there photos online somewhere?

"Suitably" would be a matter of personal preference. But they're close enough for me.

Those are incredible!!! Definitely "suitable" in all possible meanings of the word. Any idea when they would be available?

Sorry, Afraid not. Only Tom would be able to provide an answer to that. I know the caster has been busy keeping the Edenites stocked which ha delayed things a bit. However some Edenite Tank turrets have just arrived on my desk this morning for painting, so I'm guessing the Jump troopers would be next in line. If this means they'll be available in 2, 3 or 4 months I don't know... Though I'd at least expect them to become available this year.

Got the masters on my desk - plan is to clean 'em up on Tuesday, then dispatch for production moulding.

Any further news on these?
