Went from stern to unsure. Front arm just kills it.

I think I agree. Looks like he's perpetually ready to intercept a slap in the face.

They should have put it on his hip, or behind him. I'm actually not sure what that pose is supposed to be...

He looks extra buff, instead of slim & experienced. I think I'll stick to my old model...

Just model a cigarette between his fingers.

I still can't get into the PP style, and this model (and the various Vlads) really exemplify why. The shoulder pads are larger than his head, and it looks like he has stubby legs.

I just don't get it.

Needs angry brows and a cigar in his limp wrist hand to salvage this model from wimpy baby-faced mommas boy to Hard eyed stonekiller filled with enraged contempt for the weaklings arrayed before him.

Well the old sculpt pose was spot on so the remake has no chance in besting it. Nice details like the medals on the chest, but I think the original is better.

Agreed, lead arm is oddly posed.

But the hand on that arm is easily removed and changed for another, perhaps with a pistol or dagger?

Needs a wall to lean on.

Although, he looks pretty much like the artwork that I've seen. Relaxed and composed--and it almost looks as if he's signaling his bodyguards to stand down.

Please, not in the face!

The old model was better.

He looks disgusted. Perhaps with himself.

His reaction = he just saw someone he recognize across the field walking towards him ( his one night stand )
*he is contemplating to :
drop the weapon ,
turn around ,
run away!

That's a pretty awesome idea, actually. I think adding a cigar really changes the whole character of the model... or at least explains the posing of that arm, anyway.

yeah he needs a hat three times the size of his head instead, just like a warhammer miniature.

Its a different take on the heroic scale style which IIRC citadel originated.

Model a telescope and the arm is fine.

I like that he actually looks like he's wearing warcaster armor.

A Gary Morley reference! Nice.

It's anime-silly, and quite frankly, bizzare.
