They've been posting more renders of weapons and taking comments.

If you have suggestions there's still time to talk to the sculptor and the management.

What, no weapons that throb and spurt with power?

BrookM wrote:What, no weapons that throb and spurt with power?

I'm going to replace that fuel tank with two power spheres that ejaculate white hot death in the faces of my foes.

My god, what are they doing with the heads... friggin hideous...

and is it me or are their coats too flowy? It looks like they are rather "hippy" or have some serious junk in their trunk...

and the hell is with the assault rifle? It looks horrible compared to the one they showed us last time 'round.

I wish they produced a 360 of the actual bodies in the kit, since they're the main thing that matters. If the bodies are crap or even mediocre, nobody will buy the kit.

Two of the pics are just giving me red x's...

same.

depending on the size of those weapons and the price of the kit i might buy some to swap out for bolters.

If you can't see them, right click, view image.

I'm still a little undecided on these guys.

The top half of the models is looking good (although the head on the grenade launcher guy is a bit odd) and the weapons are coming together well... but the bottom half of the jacket just looks weird. All puffy and soft looking.

That is definitely the problem.

The bottom half on both looks as if it comes from a different model... Weird!

I really like the flame weapon, it is small and classy. The grenade launcher looks good, and the large rifle looks industrial as heck and I'd believe it's Str 8.

The helmets do look different, but it's great to see the experiments. They have a distinct look that does not mimic equivalent models, at least that I've seen. The grenade launcher's head reminds me of a snow trooper from Empire.

Yeah now I see dead links. I'll copy to the gallery shortly.

The gun is their proposed energy weapon, I already told them I don't like and want something pulpier.

The GL head is one they showed before and will be an optional head in the kit. It's the gasmask with a blast shield over it.

And for other comments, don't tell us, tell them!

Not a huge fan of the grips on the flamer and grenade launcher. A more standard pistol grip would work better and look less wonky.

Just do a copy of DKOK troopers but with more modern looking gear like chest rigs, armor and modern looking guns.

Have to say that these are rather disappointing

I would buy so many of those if they were closer to DKOK.

You're never going to get a DKOK level of detail with Wargames Factory. They're lower quality than GW, but much, much cheaper. They can't flat out rip off the designs as that would be copyright infringement. And go complain to Wargames Factory - nobody here works for them to my knowledge.

The proposed "energy gun" looks a bit too much like a pneumatic nail gun to me... But I'm not really in their target audience, since none of their greatcoat sculpts have looked worth considering as far as I'm concerned.

Vale,

That was my first thought as well.

Love the blast shield head, but the way they're holding their guns is just... off...

The proportion of top and bottom body are all wrong.

I agree about the quality. What WGF also seems to lack is real creative sculpting. Their historicals have looked fine, but they can't seem to make up their mind about what they want these longcoat guys to be, or maybe they're simply trying to appease everyone at the same time, a sure sign of failure.

Suggestion?

They are getting colder...

The proportion like i said , is WAY OFF!!!!!

LunaHound wrote:The proportion of top and bottom body are all wrong.

They're not out of proportion, they're just too flowy. It's like they're standing over an upwards wind.

If they weren't all puffed-out, they'd fit fine.

I am glad that they are giving it a go. The arms are too long, the elbo goes down to their waist where as the wrist should be just below the waist. it looks like if extended they woulb be longer than their legs which could use some lengthening. I also agree with the weapon grips, flip them back over. finally the coatbottom look weird, (this is going to be hard to explain) in part because they are draped and flowing differently yet the bottom of the coat cuts off at the same length. does that make sense? so it a fold in the coat is falling straight it may be 18" from the ground and another fold is sticking out a few more inches it might be 20" from the ground and so on. if this confuses you I am sorry, my words are failing me. but keep it up and make this project happen!

You think the flowy clothing is capable of throwing me off?

No , its horrible out of proportion.

How is it out of proportion? It only looks that way because of the pauldrons and greatcoat.

Try fitting a skeletal frame in that picture and you'll see.

You know they're supposed to be GW heroic scale, right?

Don't patronize. Everyone knows that.

intrestin i like the models form the waist up. and the helmets are really cool.
