Do the people complaining about monopose plastics realize that everything they're complaining about is true of the monopose metal/finecast models GW has been producing for decades? There seems to be this ridiculous assumption that "plastic" means "lots of customization options", when in reality these are just a replacement for awful metal/finecast stuff.

I think the beef is that they aren't making as many options as they used to, when it came to monopose metal and plastic kits.

When GW released the monopose Commissars late in 2nd edition, they released a few of them at a time. Now we've got this one guy that reminds me a bit of Captain Hook.

meaning what??

Phydox was making the point that monopose models are a good idea because it is tiresome to have to assemble dozens of multi-part models for rank and file infantry.

He'd hate this then



Yep, thats a multipart 6mm epic scale space marine...

I think Epic was only in plastic and metal. There are no resin miniatures like that space marines made in 6mm scale.

*buzzer*

You seem to have forgotten the many and varied released Forge World did for Epic, in rezin. Many of the aircraft were then repurposed for Aeronautica Imperialis (or whatever the plane game was called - I'm away from my books at present).

The resin multipart Epic Space Marine was a piece of Forge World insanity, which I think was a show-only model.

It was a show-only model. I've got a couple still on the sprue. They also did an entire line for Tau/Kroot infantry in resin for Epic.
