Yeah, agreed. I was being over-dramatic in the vid. I'm using a trigger finger hand for my Deathwing Strikemaster's sword. They're more versatile and look better when the figure is stood with no weapons in hand.
Thanks for the thorough comparisons, Skelly! No one else has compared the 30K figures to multiple 40K body types yet. These figures look fantastic, but the scale difference shown in your video has solidified my decision to just stick with 40K.
Great review, the trigger finger hands are amazing for poses like pointing sword forward or up like on emps champion. You can also remove the cables from praetor but you have to do it slowly and heated, but be careful I accidentaly ripped it and there is a bit still left inside the torso.
Yeah, I agree. Was just being a bit dramatic lol I prefer trigger finger hand overall. I'm using a trigger finger hand for my Deathwing Strikemaster sword for the same reasons you mentioned, plus swinging back kinda pose
WOW! That's a lot of figures in the comparison section! That's an impressive collection. It's also amazong that you can eye ball them and tell if their sizes are off.
Cheers man. Yeah, thought it would be good to show a few different figures, as these guys are quite big compared to the older 40k models.There's been a size creep from Joytoy for a while now.
Thanks Gunner! Yeah, these guys look great. I did have QC issues with all, but luckily nothing major. Overall, great start to the HH stuff! Hope everything's been good, mate.
Wow, that custom helmet makes all the difference ! I hate it so much when Joytoy doesn't give us a helmet for a character... Lion was what they should always do, 4 different heads ! Choice and safety to give a good example to kids out there
We were definitely spoilt for choice with the Lion! Joytoy just follow what GW offered with their mini. I wish they were able to offer a bit more though!
Thanks for the reviews. Might have to pull the trigger on Siggie because of you :D As for Rann, I found that using his or other MKIII IF's trigger hands allow for a better grip on the shield handle.
Cheers Sheo! Sigi is a pretty badass character. I'm sure you could sort him out with a nice helm like Wein Ho. Ooh, nice to know with using the trigger finger hands with the shield. Contrary to what I say in the vid, I actually prefer trigger finger hands as they're more versatile lol
@UncleSheo oooh I think Fafnir is overall the best figure, but I've been playing about with Sigi the most recently. Easiest to take to the sofa and pose and play about with whilst watching Warhammer lore UA-cam vids!
I finally unboxed my HH Imperial Fists a couple of days ago and I love them: big and chonky, with a great deal of details in the sculpt. They have been lacking some inking IMHO: those rivets deserve to pop up and I did ink them myself. My favorites are Fafnir Rann and the Praetor gentleman, even with the limits for the articulations: Sigismund looks a bit plain compared to them (again, self-inking improves the look XD). Thanks for the great review!
Thanks Mario! Yeah, these guys are a great start to HH. Tempted to paint the rivets too, would love to have those extra details pop. Sigismund is definitely less impressive visually, there are a few details that could use a bit of paint as well. Nice to pose though, better in hand.
Just got my first space marine from bottom today and I have 3 more on the way and I love him so far but they’re a little smaller than I thought, the UA-cam figure reviews deff add some size
Awesome! Prepare thy wallet! Haha yeah they are little buggers. The size makes them even more impressive with how much detail they cram in, plus work perfectly in my 1/18 scale collection.
Hope they make the black Templar version of Sigismund, great video as always kinda miss skelly 😅😅 can you try putting skelly on one of space marines hehehe
Ooohh would love to see BT Sigi! Yeah, lil Skelly will be back! Hoping to get back to a more regular video output. Just had a lot going on, and suffering a bit with burn-out. Will be back on it soon!
Ah man, that sucks! I was quite disappointed when my Fafnir arrived with no skull on his belt. Having a leg that doesn't stay on is quite discouraging. I've been having slight issues with the knees on all mine, where was yours?
You should be very careful, generally speaking. If possible use a hairdryer or hot water and be patient. I've broken figures before. However, I've been handling this lot for a bit and quite familiar with their resilience
Got them from an online store toyverse.top. They're supposed to be working on an affiliate link for me and money off codes for viewers, but not been updated. Let them know I sent you there if you use them!
Great minds think a like bro. im going to add magnets to my J.T figs too. for their guns and swords. im working on creating a 1/18 scale sized diorama of Terra and Baal diorama i want it to be a tyranid inspired invasion on Baal. but for the magnets i want to recreate the armoring scene from the game. like the vacpack and shoulder pauldrens and etc... so i know how to really breakdown a joytoy figure so i may know a way to make their eyes light up with led. this is my second message check out my first one i left my email i have some dope ideas i want you to hear maybe we could collab. keep doing your thing bro i really am a big fan fam
the helmet is 3d printed sad joytoy should not take things literally one reason we cannot have Dante (joytoy make a normal tabar no need to copy the mini) really need to start making cloth soft goods
Yeah, I did mention in the vid that it's a print. Unfortunately, Joytoy are beholden to what GW authorise. Cloth soft goods would be a game changer. A lot more companies are offering them now.
Trigger finger hands are not useless, you can put swords in them for more natural handshake like grip
Yeah, agreed. I was being over-dramatic in the vid. I'm using a trigger finger hand for my Deathwing Strikemaster's sword. They're more versatile and look better when the figure is stood with no weapons in hand.
Works well for those pointing-with-sword poses
Yes, indeed!
Thanks for the thorough comparisons, Skelly! No one else has compared the 30K figures to multiple 40K body types yet. These figures look fantastic, but the scale difference shown in your video has solidified my decision to just stick with 40K.
Cheers mate! Yeah, the differences are quite drastic. Especially considering the HH guys should be smaller.

@@SkellywagsTV It's a bit closer to the epic diorama we (maybe mostly me) have been asking for.
Haha here's hoping!
Love that yellow and all the rivets. great looking figs. Thanks for the vid buddy!!
Thanks Gunner! Yeah, these guys look great. I did have QC issues with all, but luckily nothing major. Overall, great start to the HH stuff! Hope everything's been good, mate.
@@SkellywagsTV Everything going well, thanks!!

Amazing review brother ❤
Thanks mate, appreciate it!
Don’t call them the mustard force they don’t like that!!!!!😂💀🤖
Haha they get pretty triggered
Great review!
Cheers mate!
God they really need to make an Alexis Polux
You would think he would've been done before Fafnir! There's easily more people wanting some Crimson Fists love over Executioners
Sweet
Nice one mate!
Hope they make the black Templar version of Sigismund, great video as always kinda miss skelly 😅😅 can you try putting skelly on one of space marines hehehe
Ooohh would love to see BT Sigi! Yeah, lil Skelly will be back! Hoping to get back to a more regular video output. Just had a lot going on, and suffering a bit with burn-out. Will be back on it soon!
@@SkellywagsTV I mean put skelly on a space marine armor hehe
Great review as always! Hey could you post the link to where you got Rogal Dorns helmeted head? Much appreciated!
Cheers bud! Yeah, of course. Let them know I sent you if you decide to use them www.toyverse.top/search?q=Rogal+dorn
My Fafnir's left leg would not stay on. I had to glue it. Not great. These are the last war hammer figs for me. Tired of quality issues.
Ah man, that sucks! I was quite disappointed when my Fafnir arrived with no skull on his belt. Having a leg that doesn't stay on is quite discouraging. I've been having slight issues with the knees on all mine, where was yours?
20:56 can YOU please confirm that joytoy's once sold out figures have now the 3.0 body? my space wolf bladeguard veteran has the 1.0 body... thank YOU
In theory, yes. But some sites may still have 1.0 stock. I think BBTS still had some.
@@SkellywagsTV thank YOU very much!
time 15:00
How careful do you need to be when taking the figures apart?
You should be very careful, generally speaking. If possible use a hairdryer or hot water and be patient. I've broken figures before. However, I've been handling this lot for a bit and quite familiar with their resilience
Where do order the custom heads from?
I bought one of the Imperial Fists Breacher Marines for the head for Fafnir Rann
Got them from an online store toyverse.top. They're supposed to be working on an affiliate link for me and money off codes for viewers, but not been updated. Let them know I sent you there if you use them!
Oooh I might try out one of those heads for Fafnir
The breacher with the flat face no vents... tight fit but looks good
@@SkellywagsTV That Web site dose have Decent Custom parts

Sounds like you have some plans ahead! Better grab some tyranids, those badboys are selling out quickly. Sounds good mate, I'll take a look
the helmet is 3d printed
sad joytoy should not take things literally one reason we cannot have Dante (joytoy make a normal tabar no need to copy the mini)
really need to start making cloth soft goods

@@SkellywagsTV you bought the v2 bladeguard this is a test do you see something wrong with it?
could you please share the link of the helmet?
He most likely bought it from toyverse
Yes, indeed toyverse.top. Check them out, and ask them if the skellywagstv discount is available yet.
