Mind, the pictures they have been posting everywhere but on KS for the last few days have just been pics from the previous update, to remind us that yes, they update.

But whatever, they said it now: January 2014. As said before, let's see them actually get this one right, that would go a long way towards things.

I don't mean to stroke my ego, but I'd like to give some love to this image:



It's been given the shaft for too long now, but its time has come at last. It's subtle how they don't rub it in your face.

I like that sculpt better with the alternate head and pistol myself.

Hmmm... this reminds me of something... I only I could put my finger on it...


Still going to buy it though.

It has a nice and simple heroic pose to it, kinda curious though how she's going to fit all that hair and that bionic eye under the helmet and mask.

I freaking love alternate lady Hilda.... I have this incredible pain in my wallet just looking at it.

Come to think, she'd make an excellent rogue trader.

Holy hell yes!

Also, the alternate head on the nurse, d'awwwww. Kinda want to get the whole sci-fi Kraut command squad now for an alt Guard army.

See, I can be positive.

She looks spent. It's rough, but I guess the original version was just too hard an act to follow, and now she's feeling let down.

I'm afraid she wouldn't work as an Inquisitor. Too soft on heresy.

I like the alternate Hilda options. Glad they turned out good. For a minute, I was afraid they might cock it up.

On a more serious note though, has there been any word on whether or not we will get an alternate hand for Punky? The throat-cutting gesture is still throwing me off.

Hilda looks like Jeri Ryan!

Which can only be a positive thing!

That would be a positive thing! But personally, I'm not seeing it.

Time for an alt sculpt of Hilda in a one piece body suit?

Just put her head on one of the old reaper blanks (they already have a heeled "foot" shape and voilà!

Am I the only one that things that Doctor Von X would make an interesting Magos Biologis?

Actually... why not a mod with Hilda's head and Mortaria Noctis' body?



Not too terrible off there...

I just wish half of the models weren't pigeon toed. I know it's often part of the French design aesthetic, but it looks unnatural and silly - and distracts from otherwise-great looking models. (I said the same thing about Remy's KoW Ogres and their knock-knees).

I guess you could almost easily bend the feet back a bit (hot water or careful metal bending).

I agree completely. Without meaning to kill this thread, I do find the need to "effeminize" all the female sculpts with ridiculous pigeon toes a bit worrisome.

(So, I've been struggling for days to keep myself from posting this, but... I'm weak in some ways.)

Arm swap with one of the Lulus?

Oh pigeon toed, that's how it's called in english! But yeah I dislike it tremendously, even though I can accept it here but it is looking absolutly silly. It is an disease and I don't even understand why real woman should do this strange pose. I can understand it in Silent Hill with the nurses since they're unnatural, scary, sick, it fit's them do walk with the legs like that but I would've prefered the legs on these figures in normal position.

I don't think it is a pose I've ever seen a real live woman strike in person...

There are a lot of qualifiers on top of "woman" there. Care to unburden yourself of some secrets, Alph?

Hey, we each have our own ways to relax.

I can definitely back the 'never seen that pose in real life' idea. But honestly, I never notice it on the minis unless someone points it out. It seems like a bit of a pin-up pose to me, but it doesn't look like it's unfeasible or anything. And if I'm willing to accept a soldier with cybernetic limbs and zombie-making bullets, I don't think I'm really going to throw stones at her unrealistic pose.

Still, I think that the figures with the ball-socket assemblies will be able to be posed in a variety of positions, yeah? Or was I wrong about that? Hopefully, that would make it to where people who don't want pigeon-toe poses don't have to have them. For their boxes, obviously. I didn't think the characters would have ball-socket joints. Still, as mentioned, it should be a piece of cake to rotate the leg a few degrees to a more aesthetically pleasing pose, shouldn't it? Or am I way off base?

Depends on the material I suppose.

Still lament that Aura is getting some of the nicest looking models, but it will be worth it in the end when she's put them through the Chaos Guard wringer.

here's a un-informed question. Was the actual pledge manager ever sent out on this?

Nope, waiting until the first wave is ready to go if I recall, although it is something I'd like more explanation on.

Even though my pledge allows for one of each, I have an excess to use in the troops and heavies section and It will be annoying if we have to do a partial order, remember what we've used then get a second wave, third etc. I'd rather just make the whole order then break it down if I'm paying for shipping waves.
