I think they're designed so you can clip one of the basic troops in half and use him as the centaur like destroyers.

I figured the turret-like thingies above them were, well, turrets.

**Vertrucio**

Yeah, but that's to appease the lawyers.

**George Spiggott**

Why do they even sculpt heads (or guns for that matter) for these guys?

All we need is dynamic body and arm poses. A selection of seperate hands would be nice too.

This was just posted about an hour ago over there.

Gun is: Sci fi version of STG-44.

Any Photoshop ninjas want to run that through the Pig Iron, Citadel and West Wind Ranges?

**adamsouza**

The Photoshop Ninjas over on the WGF boards have already made their mods to the image

I like it !!

You can pre-order them here

Hmm, got a pic of the actual model rather than a 3d drawing of it?

**JohnHwangDD**

The photoshop version isn't bad - the helmet is clearly improved. Though the bodies aren't very heroic compared to GW.

**George Spiggott**

That woud be key, the quality of the head and gun sculpts just isn't a factor to my mind.

ROFLMAO!

That Photoshop is very nice, much better than most of the other attempts on WF. Isn't the head a little too big though? Looks bobble-headed to me.

**Agamemnon2**

hm, I agree about the head, I think it needs scaling back just a tad. I hope they at least experiment with it. Since WGF does its sculpting on the computer, it should be pretty easy to play with the ratios.

**MeanGreenStompa**

raise the shoulders and bring the outer edges up, that would significantly bulk the mini and lend it 'heroic' stance. Reduce the 'cheeks' on the mask.

Take it over here where the sculptor is reading and replying.

Don't slag the sculptor too much. It's much easier to nitpick and photoshop someone else's work than it is to sculpt something new that looks good.

I'm not doing that at all. In fact he's been great at listening to ideas.

could you imagine if GW did this before unleashing some of their kits?

**stonefox**

They'd never release anything due to bickering and IG would look more like space naz- germans.
