Do the sniper rifles come with a 360 noscope tutorial and a mountain dew sponsorship? I need to relive my MW2 days

Big H wrote: How about some legs/ bodies specifically sculpted to be prone to re-create a sniper and spotter ?
I converted a GW plastic autocannon into a Solothurn with the intention of it being fired from a supported position (the first one was prone but there will be others in similar positions). Anyway.. I had to convert the shooter and it was really awkward.. it kinda works but it would be really nice to have a go to for this type of thing. Really it would be a set of legs posed like frog legs and if the lower back/waist area is angled right, the torso wouldn't have to be too wild to get a decent pose out of it. I guess maybe arms that are specifically posed for firing from prone would probably go a long way as well.. I think I had to dig quite a bit for something close to the correct position. That pose would also be usable later for a shoulder fired rocket or whatever AT weapons we might see in the future.
The spotter should be covered by the new heavy weapons teams but I haven't looked yet to see if they are available separately.
Just saw this after I placed an order for 2 Jovian Hammer bodies! ah well, next order then!

Dragons fear nothing, if it acts up, we breath magic fire that turns them into marshmallow peeps. We leaguers only cry rivets!

I like it, except for the light on the gun barrel. It makes it look like a toy!

Yeah, they already said above that the searchlight is mounted back on the turret, it is just the forced perspective that makes it look like it is on the barrel end, which it is not.
Search light is on the Turret, not the Cannon!

I see it now. I also won't lie, I stopped reading most posts in threads like this. If it's not posted by the OP it tends to be either internet high-fives or brow beating.. and I don't really have a lot of time for that. You can't say it doesn't look a little bit like that light is sitting on the main gun..
EDIT: Either way, I'll be passing. It looks like a modern tank with a bunch of 40k bits. Most MR stuff looks either more historical or more sci-fi and this feels kinda in the middle of the road to me. I'm glad MR is going to be doing vehicles though. Quality castings and interesting designs abound.
