Post by: Galef


I was recently looking through various GW stuff and saw this:
https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Grey-Knights-Preacher-with-Chainsword

Is it me, or does this look suspiciously like he is taking a selfie with a =][= shaped phone?
It got me thinking if there are other odd poses that could be interpreted as something GW didn't intent.
If you can think of any, please share

He's doing "the power of the Emperor compels you!" with his holy icon. Hopefully for him the daemons are appropriately cowed, otherwise that chainsword isn't going to help much …

I always thought this guy was playing Tetris (he's a badass Space Marine, so he can play it one-handed) instead of manning the thud gun or fixing the damaged land raider:

He's presenting it like one holds up a cross to drive away a Vampire.

The Sister Dialogus is one weird looking model, though. Between the two cybernetic eyes and the giant sprinkler-thing in her hand...

Belial looks like he needs a wee due to his feet being twisted inward like this:



And of course the Diagolous (and her "shocked" face):


Arco-flaggelants look like they're overly dramatically bowing to their opponent:

Humor is subjective. And it's a little funny, though since you don't die 1/6th of the time it's less relevant I guess.

Not to be overly critical of players' creations, but one thing I've noticed is that a lot of people who buy kits- namely stuff like the various Primaris kits- they tend to make a sort of 'mistake'.

Granted, I've built enough of them to know and I've developed my own method- because I also made those same mistakes at first. My first batch of Reivers had a few of them looking like they were doing aerobic exercises or falling face-first and flailing guns around like idiots.

So, the lesson here is- build your dudes all the way up to where they have no arms and no head. THEN start matching up arms and such to the bodies to figure out a pose. You'll get a LOT more dynamic poses from your kits. And yes, I know that seems obvious to some but I see it often enough that I consider that sound advice.

Well, back in the GorkaMorka days, there was a gun called the Six Shoota (or something similar), which in the fluff was stated as oftwn being the first weapon a Yoof is given. Some fully grown Orks were known to keep their Six Shoota as a memento.

They're xenos, they're meant to stand out. They look no more out of place than a tau mech does. Hell, the harlequins match the primarily european inspired imperium/chaos better than eldar grav tanks and the dark eldar skimmers.

I think in particular for me it has to be the Karate Kid kung fu werewolf squad leader for the Wulfen. The single stupidest pose GW has ever gone for in a recent mini.

They did a similar pose with the Callidus assassin, and I think they were going for the same "leaping down on prey" feel, but they didn't direct the intent of the mini downward or provide any basing to imply the mini was somewhere up high. So it just turned into crane stance kung fu.

Is that the original? Because that was a Gorkamorka special character, pretty clearly based on the autogiro pilot from Mad Max 2. He's got an oversized revolver, which is good enough for a slugga for me (I can't even remember if grots used different weapons to the Orks in Gorkmorka).

LOL, my first batch was worse. I had maybe one or two guys that had a really awesome dynamic and aggressive pose that was really cool... and a couple of guys standing bowlegged that looked like they were doing cheerleader poses, arm stretches, karate katas, or throttling a knife handle while they were having a bowel movement. It was goofy, some of them- almost like some of the old weird 'flat' metal model poses from the 90's.

I got used to building Shorty Marines after so many years, that I was just used to chopping out parts and putting an entire model together at once. Now I just build everything except arms and heads, then cut out the arms and heads and just make comparisons to each pose to see what looks the best on each model's pose.

It is not super weird looking, but it doesn't really work on a terminator. Terminators are heavy lumbering blocks. Trying to pose them 'dynamically' often doesn't look natural.

The Karate Kid Crane Kick Wulfen wins this thread IMO. But to add my own input:

Hmm, I never liked the way Ghaz is posed in this stiff action figure stance. I guess hes supposed to be lunging? I dunno but I re-positioned mine so his Klaw and gun are actually pointing forward.

Spoiler:


I like the Huron Blackheart model, but to me he looks like hes got a hand out, asking you for some spare change.

Spoiler:


You got the High Five action pose Solitaire. Maybe hes gonna give a little skin to Huron there?

I've been working customer service related jobs for about 10 years now...and yes, for some people walking is impossible. Not because of physical impairment, but because if they walk they'd have to stop breathing because they can't focus on two things at once.

He's one of the - if not the - oldest models in the 40k range at the moment, so he deserves to be cut a little slack.

As opposed to the plastic Wulfen...

It's weird that Ragnar is probably older than I am....

Those aren't lifts. Those are the retractable claws built in to his armour boots that grant him an extra kick attack in melee.

Sadly, that particular bit of wargear disappeared when the 2nd edition Codex Space Wolves came out.

They look like he's wearing platform shoes.

No slack will be given for silly old models.

Fair enough, but can we at least be extra harsh on the newer line that still managed to faceplant

Khorne Berzerkers have some of the stupidest poses:

Like, seriously, the dudebro in the middle looks like he just tripped and is reaching his chainsword arm out to catch himself. The one just above and to the right of him looks like he's also tripping, but because he wasn't watching where he was going. And the one on the left side middle is dancing or doing the moonwalk or something. And the skullfaced guy in the top left; well, I'm not sure what he's up to.

He didn't trip, he's charging the ground.

If the ground bleeds you can kill it.

It is interesting to me the lack of running models in the 40K range. Or marching, etc...basically there are so many poses you could actually use in gaming miniatures and you get...none of them.

I have the sneaking suspicion he might be from very late in 1st edition, but at worst he is from the first Codex released for Second Edition (Codex: Space Wolves - no, I don't know why they got released before a generic/Ultramarines Codex either).

He's definitely in the 1992 Citadel Catalogue, and that pre-dates 2nd edition by a year. His closest competitor for "oldest model in production" was one of the Eldar Warlocks (from 1991), but it looks like he's been retired.

Hmm - that means that Ragnar's model is ~26 years old, and is definitely older than many gamers today...

I suspect the Space Wolves codex was released 1st for 2nd edition for a couple of reasons:
The Space Wolves were the most distinct from a Codex chapter - Ultramarines, Dark Angels and Blood Angels could just use the standard army list, while there'd be a fair number of Space Wolves players with unuseable units - five-man Devastator squads, Tactical squads with close combat weapons and Veteran squads with a mix of Terminator and power armour, for example.

The Space Wolves army list was published for 1st edition 40k only a year before 2nd edition came out; it was almost certainly written with 2nd edition in mind (the layout of the list in White Dwarf certainly looks more 2nd edition) anyway.

The battle report (Space Wolves led by Ragnar fighting Orks led by Ghazgkull) in the 2nd edition Codex was actually a 1st edition battle report.

I have to agree on Ghaz, he looks like a bored ork trudjing on his way to the office dragging along his power claw full of buisness papers

Hes simply looking for a worthy opponent (or very much missing Yarrick).

It at least suggest the weight of everything he's wearing if it's a slow trudge anywhere. I'd rather have mega armor that looks slow and ponderous than have him skipping through the dunes of Armageddon in it.

I suppose, but its ghaz attacking should be like being hit by a train. he should be dynamic, like in motion power claw reaching out rushing at his opponent to me. though i suppose it could be worse (see njal stormcaller in power armor)

Considering he's all metal I'll say at least his arms don't pop off like Abbadon's because the weight doesn't strain the connection as much.

When he's in plastic we'll likely get something better, but for now he's not too bad.

I spent the better part of the last half hour trying to find a RT model I've always had a chuckle at: it's a marine whose supposed to look like he's reloading but due to his pose it looks like he's listening to the magazine instead.

I will snap a pic later, but I saw this thread and then noticed my Chaos Lord in Terminator Armour with dual Lightning Claws looks like he is surfing.

Also, Gravis Captain looks preggers. Just sayin...

Because some of us have sense of decency. It's a fething stupid conversion and it's not funny.

There, I said it.


This is hilarious when you consider how indecent your mom is!
