What's wrong with him?

Is it because he has the power of heart?

I mean once I saw the little heart on his chest I just can't look away.

Why GW? WHY!!!????

I like him, he leads my Emperor's Relics 1st edition army.

Sure he's old and the scuplting is crude but I love the idea of a guy so badass he doesn't even need to get out of his chair to beat you. He just sits there and gives chaos dirty looks till they flee into the warp.

there's a few things that can be done, painting them as gangers or workers improves them since their outfits are in no way credible 'jungle fighter' uniforms.

Seriously guys, hats? Sleeves? Kind of useful in the hot sun or where there's TOXIC BITING INSECTS EVERYWHERE.

I also liked that the guns and hands are completely seperate which makes swapping their weapons easy, unlike the Cadians.

But yeah, that's all I can say about them.

khorne likes his models big and expensive.

also, i adore those warlock models. and the farseers that someone was complaining about earlier. i don't mind that KoS, either. or loki.

maybe it's just that some of those older aesthetics are what got me into the game and I still love 2nd ed stuff.

edit: although i don't like that CSM dread cum paperweight. why do i have to kitbash a furioso to find the dreads i'm looking for? /obiwan.

What they need to do with Catachans is to make them more realistically styled US soldiers from the planet Vietnam. So you'll still be able to have the bandanas and jungle fighting look but you'll also have much more possible looks for each soldier (ie not every soldier a Rambo).

You could have the guy with the boonie and cut off sleeves, this guy with his cigs in his helmet strap, this guys a fresh recruit who still wears his uniform the textbook way, that guy has no shirt and has a bullet bandolier etc. The whole jungle fighter theme has a lot which can be done with it but instead they are all men who are so muscular they make the actual Rambo look like an average guy on the street.

lol

Yeah there's nothing wrong with the idea, it's just the execution.

Void has some great jungle fighters



GW has taken several stabs at the idea but still can't get past a 30 year old movie when it comes time to design them.

I giggled. Im going to cause a disturbance in my local gamestore until we have an equal fluff distribution

Gentlemen BEHOLD! An ugly, confusing model with an ugly and similarly confusing paintjob!

Ew, what is that. It's not GW, right?

It's the Inquisitor scale Kroot.

WHICH ONE OF YOU MORONS CRAPPED IN THE URINAL?

Not a bad mini overall, just one small detail that gets me...

All of the 3rd edition Tyranid metals are bad, with the possible exceptions of the Biovore and Zoanthrope.

I actually liked the Zoeys, largely because they were a lot more stable than the ones that followed. The biovores also tended to be a lot less DERP in appearance.

The Carnifex? Not a huge fan...it was still better than Cuddles the Carnifex.
The Hive Tyrant was trying too hard for Aliens.
The Raveners looked...well...silly.
The Gargoyles were ok but rather awkward to base and use.

ARGH. I HATED the 3rd edition Biovore. It had a nonsensical back, a stupid face, and giant squishy balls...Eww...

Kid_Kyoto wrote:Is it because he has the power of heart? I mean once I saw the little heart on his chest I just can't look away.

Pretty sure I have that guy, but I hadn't noticed the heart, since he hasn't gotten any paint, yet. At least now I know that I need to break out the files to prep him, as well as the steel wool, because that thing has got to go.

As for me, pretty much ALL of the old (2nd ed?) Ork sculpts irk me. There's a ton of individual character and variety, but the sculpts themselves are so damned goofy and lumpy and, quite frankly, herp-derpy. Single-sculpt grots would make me refuse to field an actual unit of them, if they were all I could get (actually, they're all that can be found cheaply, which is why I haven't snagged a bunch off of Ebay, preferring to wait until I can afford enough of the plastic kits). Never got the whole "crappy cartoon interpretation of samurai" thing they had going for a while on some models, either. Sure, all of the old models look a tad goofy by today's standards (just look at all the RT marines or, even more so, the old termies), but the Orks are the most flagrant offenders, I think.

Yay! Hugs! *Gives cuddle*

Oh wait, you mean this guy


Almost all of the 3rd edition tyranid minis had buffoonish, oversized teeth that made them look like cartoon characters. I singled out the tyranid guard because of the ridiculous sword/shield look they were going for.

I think the original Lictor, released for 2nd ed, was the best.

Howard A Treesong wrote:I think the original Lictor, released for 2nd ed, was the best.

It took me several years to realize that the lictor didn't have a long, strange-looking nose.

Actually, compared to the other 2nd Edition Nids, the Lictor was one of the better ones. In fact, with a new head and the removal of the flesh hooks, that could be a servicable model.

Almost the entirety of the Sisters infantry lines of models.

But there's a special place in my heart (inside of a volcano made of rage, spewing molten magma made of raw hate) is the Dialogous model.

I actually have a special hatred of Sister Pulling The Grenade Pin With Her Teeth.

Don't know why. She just infuriates me in general.

Did anyone bring up the razorgor yet?

Have Sanguinary Guard with Death Masks been brought up?



Seriously, not only are the wings hard as to stick on, for all the advantages in game I may never get over that creepy face...

Shall we assume you got over the nipples then?

Fine, nipples too. The entire thing generally looks unreal.

To all those hung up on the armour having nipples please grow up and go and look at some Classical statues. This is what the armour is based on, and it fit in perfectly with the Baroque/Classical artistic themes within the Blood Angels imagery. [/rant]

Yes mixing classical roman armor motifs with aztecish masks is totally logical. /sarcasm
