Ugh +1 on the purity seals comment. I was already looking at this for something else and noticed them. :/

It's a nice-looking design but I'm also going to nitpick: it doesn't look like it's capable of standing on its own without a convenient rock to support the left foot. If either the right foot was closer to being under its center of gravity or the left leg was flat on the ground like the right leg, it would be a more practical pose.

Clicking on the link to see it in the store, it comes with a base that has that "convenient rock" built into it. However, I would have preferred the model to be constructed to have a bit more posing options, as it appears to be "locked" into that single pose.
Had the price been slightly lower and if there were a few more options in its appearance, I could see myself buying quite a few to expand my Mechanicum army. Still a very nice looking model, though, but just a bit too limited.

Post by: MLaw
Yeah, I was looking at one as a companion to some of the Corsairs from Bones 3 (up on KS right now). The purity seals are a deal breaker.. only wanted one though so the pose didn't bother me too much. Price tag is a bit on the hefty side too :/

It's a pretty valid point. It's a sweet design, I'd love to have one for my army / get one to use the parts and heavily convert.
Problem is I don't play Imperials, so having it bedecked in purity seals.. Well, really limits my usefulness for it. Sure I could scrape them off, but I'd lose a not insubstantial amount of detail in doing so.

Post by: Kosake
Yeah, nice design. Like it, looks way better that the castraderp bots they released for the Mechanicus last time. My only complaint is from the "sense" department. Tripple barells are made to prevent overheating from long bursts/high fire rates. Considering the size of the ammo here, you just do not have the ammount to cause overheating in the first place, so a single longer barell (accuracy, anyone?) would actuallly make more sense than the 3 short stubs there. Those are nice enough as a stand-in for a multi-melta but these don't need belt-fed ammo...

Really cool looking model.
Looks like a "glass cannon" with all the exposed moving bits which happens to make it look good.
Typical Mechanicus "throwaway" weapons platform.
I dub it "Mortyr" or Mort for short.
I like the multiple play on words, he looks like the enemy will hurt more than him initially.
<edit> Reminds me a bit of the Robocop Ed209's round gun arms and exposed hydraulics, the belt feeds look better to me though.
Better than the Kastelan robots and arms for sure.
BTW this comparison is not a bad thing.

Post by: Orlanth
I want to like it but I cant.
1. The purity seals, as mentioned.
2. Calling them 'battle mechs' is aun unfaior challenge. Mech has been genericised enough now, even without the -a but battlemech is proprietary. It also doesnt properly look like a battlemech.
3. Too much hard shadow or what looks like hard shadow.
4. Many pieces have flat detail, for example the lowr legs have 'girder' effect from the sides by are flat and featureless from the front.
5. Too many confused oddities on the weapons. The chainguns have long ammo feeds, which look great by the way but also nodules reminiscent of plasma weaponry (as this has a strojng 40K reference).
6. Many of the muzzles do not inspire. The chainguns are fine, but what with the shoulder mounts, are those optics lenses or are they missile pods. If they are missile units they need to look more missiley, if they are optics the whole arrangement should look like it has a wider vision angle, even turreted. As fro the drum magazine guns wuth six 'emitters' these also seem a confused hybrid of ammo and energy weaponry. What is up with those weapon ends, give it a ballsy gatling cannon or large mortar grenade muzzle.
7. Most of all the leg arrangements. Like the Imperial knight you have one standardised pose, whicvh is ok for a asingle model but looks crap when you have a unit. At least with the Imperial knight it stoodf on two feet, for this model each and every one must have the left leg resting on an object and the right leg on flat ground. It compounds the problem. As you are making more arms make some more legs too.
Nixce try but it fails on composition. If you take this back to the digital masters and removwe the purity seals, perhaps putting them on a seperate sprue, and give multiple options for legs and loincloths to ensure variety, and made some minor artistic adjustments to the weaponry I think you will be on to a winner.

Post by: MLaw
The molded on purity seals are the only real thing holding me back at this point.
I'm glad to hear there will be another pose.. it's definitely needed.
I like most of the other artistic choices you have going on though.
I have a suspicion that if that chainsaw arm was available by itself you might win over some purchases from Ork players or maybe Chaos.
As an aside.. I really like that goblin cook on your webpage.. is that backpack separate though? It would not make sense in the adventure I plan on using him in.. I could easily slap that on someone else but he needs to be just his lovely self.

I have to agree on the purity seals- anyone using this for 40k already has tons of purity seals sitting around, and anyone using it for something else probably doesn't want them on there.
Other than that and the lack of leg options, pretty cool sculpt.

Post by: Wehrkind
Eh, it makes sense to me to put the purity seals on the separate sprue. If nothing else you don't want 2 robots in the same pose with the same seals in the same places. Plus it is a bit strange to make them THAT keyed to GW style Imperial armies and require cutting them off. Not a big deal, but if I have to pick between slicing off with a knife and gluing on, I'll always pick gluing on.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with making genuine criticisms to a model even if you don't have any desire to buy the thing. Sure the purity seal thing is a bit nitpicky but without the rock, the model still looks awesome and let's you buy more than one without them looking identical!

How can you make a genuine criticism if you never intended to buy that thing and you're not the target market? I might as well go criticize the stitching and fog light placement on the new BMW X5, I don't find them aesthetically pleasing. But if I'm not the target market, why should they ever take me seriously? It's completely meaningless. The robot's clearly intended for 40k, it's like complaining that I'm going to have to shave the insignia off some Infinity or Warmahordes figure for use in another game.
It very well may be genuine, but it's completely meaningless and worthless
The rock thing, sure, but that's always why you can convert if you really do intend on purchasing multiple and these guys are so big I doubt I'd want an army of them, I'd get 4 max for my Heresy mechanicus army.

We're wargamers, are we not? How are we not the target market?
Does it have a distinctive 40k feel? Absolutely.
Are there other systems out there which you could use this great sculpt in which aren't 40k? Absolutely.
Even within 40k, there are multiple uses for this thing. A Chaos player who runs iron warriors / doesn't like the half-flesh-half-metal abomination think that their dreads have going for them is a very likely buyer. Ork players (like myself) are likely buyers... because Orks. With some plasticard to cover some areas and smooth things out, a Tau player could even invest in this. Heck, even for Imperials the fact that the seals are always in the same place is problematic.
The point is that purity seals don't do anything for other systems / even several potential type of buyers in 40k. It's not a huge problem, but as someone else said it's much better to glue than to cut.
It's far from a meaningless critique, and I find it ironic that the people calling it so seem to be the most riled up bunch in the thread. It's a genuine observation of how to improve the product and make it even more appealing to different sets of buyers.

Ork and Chaos players already have to convert when they buy Imperial vehicles and models unless they choose to leave the aquilla on it anyway, shaving some purity seals is nothing unexpected. That argument means nothing.
Let's drop the tumblr buzzwords, why is it problematic to have purity seals? Try to explain yourself in more than one word.
It's far from a meaningless critique, and I find it ironic that the people calling it so seem to be the most riled up bunch in the thread. It's a genuine observation of how to improve the product and make it even more appealing to different sets of buyers.
Haha, you think I'm riled up? That's pretty sad mate and another useless "observation". It's meaningless because people want it to appeal to them and them alone. It's pretty obvious that the sculptor intended it for use for 40k Imperium armies.
P.S. My original point was that I doubted that people who made these critiques would likely never purchase it even if the sculptor did take their suggestions. That's why their suggestions are meaningless.

You're absolutely right - there's a reason putty and paper exist too.
Personally, I think the basic problem with the purity seals and other gothicky bits isn't so much that they need trimmed off (and likely a bit of resculpting or refilling) but that it also sends a message: only 40K players need apply. To pot with anyone who wants it for another game.
This is a very nice model, otherwise. I don't have a use or need for it right now, but it's filed away up here for such a time that I do, or if someone else asks. Ditto with the modern russians - not anywhere close to a period I'm interested in, but I can appreciate the high quality of the sculpting.

I'd like to see a scale shot of the Hunter with the other mechs and 28mm miniatures because the information on the website makes it hard to estimate sizes based on the descriptions.
Power Armor "Behemoth" listed 45mm height. It is basically the power armor, which seems sized correctly.
RX-505, RX-807, RX-704 "Purifier" listed 95mm height. But it appears in the images there are two different scale versions of this, or angle is doing a strange thing with heights. It isn't quite power armor, but supposed to be bigger because its basically a life support system, similar to Dreadnoughts.
CF-1 "Firestorm" is a drone, no pilot listed at 85mm height.
FR-340 Hunter is listed at 95mm height. It should be similar size to the RX. So it this another life support system or is it a drone because the description makes it seem like a drone that is remote controlled, "Modern experimental observations systems, first time ever installed on robot work perfectly with..".
I'm guessing the website information isn't completely accurate or that cockpit, isn't really a cockpit but more a camera or view-port for the person on life support similar to the RX.

@Dark Severance - That would be a shame... I could see that reasoning though.. I just wouldn't buy it like that :(

That does look like a 10mm or at most 15mm cockpit.

Yes you are right. I will make the robot head for this miniature. To better fit to 28mm scale

Hopefully, scaling him up a bit would be part of that plan. I'd love to see that just a tad bigger with a larger cockpit.

Yes, I want to make a larger version in future (20 or 25cm height). But now it is quite expensive for me)

I can imagine, you've been quite busy!
That would be about 9" or so.. wow.. that's close to a Warhound in height (unless you're counting the antennae). If the price is affordable I would definitely buy one and consider a second one a bit later.

It's an interesting idea, but I think an 89% chance of saving $5 or less isn't too appealing a trade-off for getting randomly selected minis...

I think having the wings curve around it a bit more might be nice. Right now it looks rather static

New sci fi mini in our store.
Cruel general, Gerion-slayer and his soldiers are a living embodiment of death. He is probably the most cruel and savage warrior in the whole galaxy. Some says that he is immortal, others – that he is the death itself. For fair, the last thing that his victims see before dying from his scythe is a dark figure against the background of glowing candles.
Ski-fi miniature in 28 mm scale - . 6 parts + 50 mm base.

Otherwise nice non-corrupted Primarch you got there

Okay, this one got me laughing a bit. First, that description is ridiculous. I mean, you really layed it on thick, no subtly whatsoever, and 'for fair'?
But it's nothing compared to the mini itself, the statue in particular reminded me of this thread:
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/677507.page
I figure it's relevant even if it wasn't a GW knock off. That's how a lot of people react, I figure it's worth considering cause again, despite anybody's feelings, the symbolism is is presented with the subtly of a car horn. The legs look like they were sliced by him? What a misogynistic brute!
Maybe if it was done more artfully, it would be more tasteful and less... weird.

It's a stand-in miniature for Death-man the Death Lord, Primarch of the Death Guard. Somewhat over-the-top would seem to be reasonably warranted.

Those are looking great! I just noticed the size on that big stompy robot from a few posts up lists now at 95mm. Is it still the same size as the previous size picture you posted or did you end up making it a little larger?
Also, because of the colors on the website I almost didn't see the "show more" words on the 28mm section. I would suggest perhaps changing those words to white so they can be more readily seen..

28mm as in "Heroic" 28mm, or 28mm as in ...regular 28mm? Scale reference?

Post by: MLaw
The answer has been edited..
There was a scale picture
The proportions are not heroic (notice the scale of the head, hands and feet, in relation to everything else). The actual height appears to be about 28mm to the eye.. so they are true 28 roughly.

Ah, I remember looking at these ages ago, but the comparison shots on their website are with 40K minis, so I assumed they'd be 28mm scale. For the price as you get 5 soldiers for roughly £18 (sans shipping). Empress' Russian line will net you 8 models for £15.
It doesn't look like they come with arm of head options, bar the addon set. I suppose the Wargames Factory guns would suite, but for the price having some options would be handy instead of ending up with loads of specialist weapons and no AKs. Though my assumption is that people aren't meant to buy tons of these, or care about the options. They'd match along with those Wargames Factory moderns which are in limbo.
Not to bash the stuff though. Hmn, I'm seeing stuff I like in that range. Heh, add something else in there and I may throw some money there way (that Terminator sized mech suit would be an interesting addition to S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games).
