That is one god-awful looking miniature, if you're gonna try to cash in on another companies miniatures at least make it substantially better looking, or substantially cheaper. This is niether, being both uglier, and more expensive.

Me personally like the GW ones much better (they're growing on me over all). This one looks like a Librarian Warjack or something. Do not want.

I don't see "Centurion" when I see that. I see another take on the Magos Dominus model, from Forgeworld's Mechanum army for 30k.

It's inferior to that scuplt, but still kind of cool.

I'm not really seeing where you are getting it as a take on that FW model...

When looking at marines in generla but more specificaly termies and Centurions, i'm more and more convinced that SM arn't genetecly modified soldiers in heavy armors, they are freakin cyborgs!, juts like the Screw Soldiers in Gunnm(battle angel allita).



Its the only thing that makes sens and the only way their anatomy can work.

I wonder if this model would look good with the Centurion's arms? Perhaps it was provided with these scrawny looking ones as a stand in because it's intention is to be used with the GW models arms with their various weapons load-outs.

That hood just makes me think shot trap. Like, even more than normal for GW's stuff.

Not a fan but power to the people who want to use it. The plain arms contrast too much with the intricate chest designs and I'm not sure why the power armor in power armor needs a sunsetter retractable awning.

Yo Dawg....

The diagram in the background has the arms level with the shoulders, but the actual figure...

Ack, you're right. They're level with the head. Can't unsee that now...

It would have made perfect sense for this figure to have a larger torso so that it would be obvious that the guy is fully enclosed in it - with remote robot arms. Swing and a miss.

Feels like the guy is still resting on the bling laurels that got him noticed years ago... pretty uninspired.

Worse than GW's version. Those arms....

Everyone already made that joke when the original Centurions came out.

Any particular reason that this thread isn't getting the same level of mod protection from unconstructive criticism that the recent Chapterhouse release received?

I'm wondering if Scibor's bigger shoulder pads and armoured plates would work on those upper 'arms'?

Generally, it is based on the number of little triangles pressed, I imagine.

Personally, I think this should probably be folded into the other Scibor thread.

I agree!
