I picked a Terminator because I consider them the most 'similar' models to Jacks. That SW Termie was unfortunate enough to just be on the first page of google images

Jacks are just weirdly proportioned, bulky in places and yet rather fragile and flimsy in others... They're just ugly to look at. GW has obviously cranked out some rubbish but at least we don't have a whole game type revolving around Ork Cheerleaders (don't tell me BloodBowl does ) If I could remember my darn Warmachine Names I'd even cite the Jacks I hate the most (the religiousy 'uns?)

Edit:

Oh, there we are:


Eurgh...

What does that have anything to do with GW web dudes responding to complaints made via Facebook?

Admittedly, not a lot.

Please stay on topic - OT posts will be deleted and people will receive warnings.

Thanks!

What has happened here is classic "Opinions on the internet" syndrome.

Wherein people state their (subjective) opinion as (objective) fact. Which it's not.

QFT Cerebrium.

Henner91 , i find that sculpt to be aesthetically suitable for a mecha used by religious fanatics.
So my view on it is has same value as yours. Hah! Dont be so desperate to defend GW by sidetracking this thread by bad mouthing Privateer Press Henners, they are innocent with the issue.

I appreciate the intent and goodwill of some of our overseas brothers, however, if you want to research and comment on Australian wages and our complaints of higher mark-ups for GW products… then please use the appropriate tables and not advertisement, marketing or statistical hype and propaganda.
As you can see, the Government figures are based upon statistics without a thought for reality. While the reality is that most workers are well below advertised averages unless they work well above average overtime, or are management or highly paid executives… hence the blowout of the statistical average wage for the non-average worker.

The Governmental advertising hype for potential immigrants:

Average full-time earnings in Australia were $64,641 per annum in 2010. (According to the Bureau of Statistics.)
If overtime and bonuses are included, earnings were $67,116 per annum.
The average male wage (ordinary time earnings) in Australia is $69,233 per annum. With overtime, this rises to $69,997.
The average female wage (ordinary time earnings) in Australia is $56,950 per annum. With overtime, this rises to $57,704.
Australia's best-paid workers are miners, whose ordinary earnings average $103,111 a year.
Next come professional, scientific and technical services workers who average $77,761 per annum.
Retail workers average $48,703.
The poorest wages are found in the accommodation and restaurant sector where full-time workers earn $46,306 on average.

The reality according to Australian Industry Awards: Most workers are at Level 2
