I think its wolf not lion... and its GREAT ! konck, knock, Venusian death stalking...

Interesting - not how I think of Venusian Rangers, but cool nonetheless.

Hmm, got to agree on the hood and cloak. If done well (and you guys seem to be good at pleasantly surprising me) then it could look great, but I was never a big fan of heavy cloaks on jungle fighters. But if you keep them relatively light (more like camo capes) then it could work. And is that wolf just a symbol painted on the breastplate? I'm kind of hoping so, I'm a fan of House Romanov of course, but I think keeping special forces like the Venusian Rangers fairly clean on specific iconography is for the best. Liking the overall look of the mask either way.

I'm also glad you at least stuck with the angled shoulders of the newer artwork as well. Now they will be much more distinct from Imperial. Though I was never one of the people who hated the old arm-guards on the previous Hussar designs, these new ones do look pretty snazzy.

I'm also in love with the new Panzerknacker. Chunky and utilitarian, it looks like you could drop it from space, pick it up and it would still fire perfectly. Lack of an underbarrel GL in the basic design isn't huge for me (can always be added on to units who have it as an option) because the stats in Warzone never reflected it having one (even though it did in the RPG). If there is ever a unit that needs the UBGL added on then the base model should have room for the upgrade.

Either way, good job guys, but don't go sinking all your funds in to redesigning stuff. People can be fickle and capricious even when you give 'em everything they want.

I'm really liking the furry grim reaper look. Skull mask/helmet and cape is appropriate. I like Ronin_eX's idea of a light cape instead of heavy fur cape.

I do not like the animal on the chest at all.

I like this a lot better then old concept. The only things I don't like is the animal on the chest and if it has a cape don't make it fur, maybe a camo cape or something. I do like the hood and mask on this.

I love both of the new designs.

In this fact this will be very nice

I liked the arm gaurds. But the newer version looks good thow.
=)

As for people still worried about the kickstarter exclusive mini. I assume when they do Mishima they are going to still have this character as a model. The point is that this specific sculpt of the hero is going to be a kickstarter exclusive. I mean, alt sculpts of characters isn't a new thing to wargameing guys. Malifaux and Warmahords have alt scuplts of a bunch of their heros and units.

If you want this spefic version of the character then you need to jump onto this kickstarter.

This sounds awesome!!!

Ah, good to hear it is a relief (hehe). Hopefully there will be a few bare torsos though. But I think it will look good and be easy to mod if you don't like it (GW liquid greenstuff is useful for fixing more than just their mistakes!). But with all that said, knowing they had to redesign it for everyone else and force me to wait longer for the render makes me hate other people (not Prodos though, those guys rock ).

Rangers looks pretty bad ass! I agree with them needing a lighter cape.

After seeing all the feedback actually being used and the great sculpts and renders I am very excited to see Capitol arrive.

Notice, though, no breadbags on the feet.

Don't worry, the TRUE FANS will be along shortly to complain about how one must have hobo-shoes or it is not being true to High Lord Bonner!

But seriously, the new concept rocks (even if I also liked the old one).

Though since someone always has to complain, I guess I'll be That Guy and say I don't really care for the exposed eyes and think it would be cooler (and perhaps even more sensible) if he had lenses.

BUT. It's still frigging brilliant, and I'm totally sold on Bauhaus regardless and it will be the first army I buy, exposed eyes or not.

well done like that there's the option to show the eyes

or add a dab og green stuff to make a full face mask

That's a good point. Like I said, I like it anyway, and that's a pretty elegant solution to my (tiny, basically a non-)issue.

Great stuff! The rifle looks good and I like the more armoured look of the rangers. I also like the idea of camocloaks over heavy fur.

Still not convinced by the wolf shirt, would look better without:

Pity. It really should be left blank. Having a wolf on all of the Rangers doesn't make sense from what I remember of the fluff and it will look pretty silly. This isn't 40K after all. Also, the cloak should be left off for the "basic" Rangers. Marshalls would look good with both the cloak and some bas relief on their armor (but not the wolf).

Also, add back the thigh plates please? It makes sense for the elites to at least know to cover their femoral arteries...

Why are you always attacking people who don't agree with you?

Loving the concept for the Venusian Rangers!

~Eric
OMG, did you ever saw the original figures? You should be happy, coz with PRODOS you get figures as art! Its concept BTW, RANGER by BONNER was in full plate with skull gas mask....

Really not certain what you are trying to say here.

I like the Bonner art (minus the stupid boots and the size of the shoulder pads). It needs some updating, however. The new Ranger art is nice, but still needs some tweaking.

As to figures as art, we'll see. Not many figures have been shown yet, and most of the renders leave a lot to be desired in my opinion.

The wolf relief looks kinda odd. Especaily for something called a "ranger".

I understand that these rangers are fighting in a jungle most of the time? Why are they wearing fur, in a tropical environment? (One that I assume is also humid) I could understand if they were wearing camo clocks and a dark green or brown coloured armour for sneaking around in the jungle. (As oppose to the bright white armour of the regulars.)

But wearing ceremonial armour and fur coats well running around out in a jungle? Am I miss understanding the fluff? Are these guys meant to be some sort of elite guard, or actual Rangers? A mini should sort of tell a story about the kind of unit it's representing after all.

My 2 cents.

Wow, full website appears to be up.

Well, looks like I'll be converting my rangers out of Hussars then.

The wolf on the chest is just dorky. Otherwise it'd be one badass model.

v.1.1 Rules.

Please, please remove the chest animal face. Kroothawk... that tshirt is really eerie. Like it has depth for some reason... creepy.

I thought the animal face was painted on, not in 3d, sculpted on.

If they can pull off the cloak, go for it. They seem to be a step above the sculpting capabilities of the original minis, after all. It could be reminescent of ancient cultures' rites of initiation and brotherhood.

Those pauldrons look so much better than the weird arm badge thingy, now just shrink them down to a more realistic size 'bout 15% less than what they are now and you will have it!
