Would it be a Solo you think looks weird, maybe a jack with really tiny arms. A warbeast that is about to fall over at all times, or a unit that is just butt ugly?

My vote is Drake McBain, I was painting him up recently because I play mercs, and he seemed like a fun caster, but man, is that model just, ugly. http://privateerpress.com/files/products/41073_DrakeMacBain_WEB.jpg
I really want to like it, but it's that pose mostly, it really could use a re-sculpt.

Shadowrun is the best game ever. It's the only thing I have ever played in which I have jumped out of a shot out van with a chainsaw to cut a flying drone in half before leveling a building with ANFO assisted by a troll, a dwarf, an elf, and a wizard.

+1 for Vlad!

I'm quite happy with the Cryx stuff, I don't even mind the Denny sculpts tbh. I guess a few units could do with updating but nothing that stands out too much. Maybe the Black Ogruns or the Soulhunters if I had to choose!

I've disliked the Blackhide Wrastler model for Gatormen since it came out. Most all the gators have mostly alligator proportions, with a bit longer arms to facilitate holding weapons. Wrastler however looks way too anthro and human like. Then earlier this week I found the concept art for it and damn, I wish the model had looked more like that. The sculpter did not do a good job translating that one.

Yeah both those Vlads are awful. So flat and undetailed. Weird poses. Stupid proportions. Vlad 2 is barely any better.

Hayley 1 needs resculping, her model is atrocious.

I hate Calandra and both Grissels, and epic Madrak.

pBaldur, and eKrueger.

Makeda1 and eHexeris.

Longer list than I thought haha, that's just the Warnouns. I never used to like the Warmahordes aesthetic, but the newer models are mostly incredible, so it's only really older stuff I don't like.

I'd definitely alter Vlad's model, he needs bigger pauldrons.


There is a reason I can't use Kayazy,I think I looked at them too long and my eyes started to hurt.

Hmm, I heard a rumour about vlad4. Vlad and his two shoulder pads will be designed as a warcaster unit.

Apparently it's the same with strakhov. Epic strakhov will also be a war caster unit comprising strakhov and his balls of steel. Because no one has bigger balls than strakhov.

I may or may not be serious. Mounted on the first ever collossal based war caster that will be epic karchev.

Terrible pose, terrible proportions to his limbs and waist, mandatory shoulder pads, utterly boring and uninspirational.

Yeh I'm afraid that either version of Vlad1 is rather naff imo.

It seems its mostly the older stuff so far (which I tend to agree) but I'll throw a newbie in the mix....

Maybe it looks better irl but I am not planning to get this guy any time soon!

My biggest issue with Vlad1 is that he really had the head of this guy I went to high school with. Its really distracting to me. But it really seems like the older caster sculpts as a general theme cloud use an update

So, Vlad4 is coming with a free colosus now? Awesome.

i hate the legs on the avatar of Menoth. They are in a horrible pose which makes him look like he has to go to the bathroom. I know its an older model. Plan on switching out the legs on my Avatar with some other legs. Also the Avatar's sword just looks to small for a model that has reach. Hope someday they put out a new model for the Avatar I am sure a lot of people would be glad

I hope they redo Behemoth at the same time.

There is only one right answer, and its the Avatar. Spatula of Doom and the "I gotta pee" pose are the highlights.

Its not a difficult problem to fix with a leg swap and some sword extending, but its annoying nonetheless.

Poor proportions, really thick cloak, squashed uncanny-valley face, static pose...what isn't wrong with her model?

I think her proportions are fine, as far as female miniatures go. Her pose is also at least semi realistic. And I'm just not seeing your complaints about her face, it has a lot to do with how you paint it.

The bare metal model has a pretty squashed and uncanny-valley face, hard to do much about it.

Sidenote - I think the word OP was looking for is "resculpted", recast would not imply a change to the model itself.

Easily fixed with highlights. Besides that's kinda how Taryn is anyway.

I mean fair enough, it's all subjective, but I didn't like Legion until Zuriel came out. He literally sold the faction to me haha.

The Black 13th, all Winterguard, Nyss Hunters, Arlan Strangeways, Reinholdt, Khador War Dog, Vlad 1 (again), Ashlynn (again)... if I had to choose one, I'd say Nyss Hunters.

Oddly enough, every Trolls model is awesome. No problems with them whatsoever.
