Kaimo Phantoms Materialise On Titan Forge’s Webstore
September 4, 2016 by dracs
Titan Forge have come out with a new unit for their mysterious Ancient Spectres of the far future, the Kaimo Phantoms.
Titan Forge has captured a few of these models in the act of landing, leading me to suspect that these eldritch figures are jump pack troops, ready to drop in like a spider where you least expect them.
The general design and style of these models is pretty good. There are nice touches of detail and the armour actually looks like it could take a hit. However, I do think that, barring the ones landing, they are a bit stiff in terms of pose.
Would you send these phantoms onto the battlefield?

It’s a shame they have to look this way. I mean I know why they do it. They want their figs to slip into “Other Games” relatively unnoticed, but I would really love to see more original art and design concepts from these types of companies. Considering these are basically warp spiders I would love to see much more unconstrained creativity.
I was thinking more elder dark reapers?
Yeah. But the guns they are holding just look like smaller versions of that web cannon thing on one of their tanks. The night spinner I think.
The backpack makes them more Warp Spiders than Dark Reapers I’d say.
Interesting to see some space elf types. Not many companies do things for them – plenty of Orcs and Power Armour but not much for Eldar. It’s nice for a change.
They look a bit smudgey? I got these:

…very sharp detail – but the wee fins on the guns and helmets were very brittle because of the plastic/resin. The company included spares so it was fixable 🙂
I’m looking for an alternative muzzle to give an Eldar conversion figure the look of having a crystal-like gun barrel. The world needs more companies selling Space Elf bits 🙂
Those are nice alternative take on Eldar.
if they are plastic I dig, if resin then not
The detail seems to have been lost in casting. Soft edges will turn me away from them.
