I think the hair and boobs were a nod towards Dolly.. (maybe?)
I dunno, I'm using most of this for Shadowrun so I had mentally checked her off as a dwarf for that.. I think a scale picture might help to put things in perspective but by the proportions it kinda looks like she is on the short side. The boobs that are as large as her head kinda make it hard to gauge that accurately though..

Also, I hope that is a miscast on her right arm...

I am bowing out of this game. Something just does not feel right about this one to me. Midget stripper for life!

achondroplasia is a common cause of dwarfism so she is supposed to be short but I'm just not sold on that mini and the right arm does look miscast.

She might be a Dwarf in the Shadowrun sense?

If you look, I think it's how the model is constructed. It kinda looks like there's a seam under her boobs so maybe that's where here arm connects? Either way it does look naff. Given my usage though, it would get chromed up

You skip the game because you don't like 1 miniature? A bonus miniature even. That's how I read your comment.

I am not a fan of the Polly miniature either. I like the idea - Dolly Parton as an grenade launcher specialist mixed with an outfit from From Dust till Dawn, I'd wish the face and body proportions had been better tho. Will it be noticeable at a meters distance?

Plus I'll probably be proxying in a different female sniper figure anyway - having the dashboard/rules are key.

I wish they'd at least do a KD: M crossover using the new SF Twilight Knight - just give us the rules/dashboard for her!

SF Twilight Knight rules will make me purchase an SF Twilight Knight.

I wonder if any of the parties involved like money? Because I'm sure there will be quite a crowd to give them some in a case like this.

Perhaps the fact that KD is chest deep in fulfillment, coupled with the significantly long turn around time on the past collaboration, has prevented them from doing this for now?

Maybe - BUT, all we'd need here is for all of the non-KD parties involved to come up with the rules/dashboard art.

All Adam has to do is say "OK" to selling a LOT more SF Twilight Knights!

Yeah, I just don't get why the heroes are so much lower in quality than the monsters.

Even as a non-midget, Polly Darton is kinda grotesque. And the stripper background is kinda offensive in the modern age.

And what stripper background is that, pray tell?

Wait.. we're going to take a step back and look at everything going on with this project, these models, and the theme for this game.. and strippers is what we're going to call offensive? Really?

And there is not even any reference anywhere to her having been a stripper!

I'm offended they call it a 'sniper' and didn't give it a suitable sniper rifle. Nothing screams 'precision long range kills' like an automatic grenade launcher....

lol, all I can think of when you say that is that scene from Inception.



EDIT: Apologies.. I had elected to start it at 46s which is roughly where the rifle vs grenade launcher bit comes in but the embedded player is giving me the finger.

Great clip, I need to re-watch that movie. YOu'll never hear me claim there is no place for grenade launchers, I lugged around an M203 for a while and can appreciate what 40mm of fun can do.


But I was not a sniper...

Is your completely fabricated character background more or less offensive than your avatar?

You know, in the modern age.

Just re-read Polly's background here:



No mention of a 'stripper' background.

First person to bring it up was:

Was Wrath unlocked and I missed it or is that one we haven't unlocked just yet?

EDIT: Hm.. a thought occurred, I think I'll paint her up in a skin tight bodysuit instead of underwear.. problem solved

Not sure where he's getting that from - maybe from some other Other's source?

I think someone just called her a stripper because they thought she looked like a stripper, and now it's apparently canon...

You two need to go somewhere and talk your feelings out or something. Watching you both snipe at each other is funny at first, but it wears thin after awhile.

look, I think the important things here are being tossed out while the less (non)important things are being stressed. The model is naff, the pose is boring, and the concept is bizarre. All the rest is minutia that really has no bearing on anything. The sniper/grenade launcher thing.. eh.. that might just be the closest role within the confines of this games role system. I haven't looked at the roles but it might deal with long range, slow succession of fire type of play. It might deal with the suppressive similarities of the two roles. It might mean she's meant to fire her weapon from cover (the definition of a sniper after all). Whatever the case, she's a freebie so if she's not your cup of tea, just do like I am and write her off.

Let's ALL agree to stay on topic and also not make up background that doesn't exist for this game that takes place in a reality that doesn't exist, OK?

What exactly are Kitchen munitions? I guess since I don't keep guns in the kitchen I might be out of line, but then again my wife would probably never need to ask me to open a jar ever again if we did.

The roles in the game are leader, fixer, bruiser and sniper. Most of the other "sniper" models don't have a sniping weapon in the traditional sense. It seems sniper is just the catch all term for someone with a ranged weapon who provides cover fire in this game.

A team I believe is made up of seven members 1 leader and 2 of each of the other classes. This may be to "balance" the game not sure yet.but that's my best guess.

Thiago Aranha - CMON about 3 hours ago
Hey guys, just talked to the manufacturer in China, who assured me the injection issue on Polly's right arm will be fixed.

Ah so it is a casting error

In a world filled with demons, wouldn't a warrior with a grenade launcher be more of a ... fixer?

Just kidding




Polly's' ability is to attack at range and keep shooting things down, sniper is the best role to describe her by.

Those Sins look sooo sweet. The painting is both "achievable" and amazing at the same time. I hope they do more guides, I can guess at some colour choices and how most effects were done (Greed's shiny arms with the matte skin works exceptionally well to create a feeling of "otherness" and is probaly just orange ink cleverly used, something I might've tried with a different blending range and a lot more senseless effort, that's why I'm not a pro ).

Greed's lil helpers remunde of somewhat less characterful Nurglings, but I like them. Maybe I'll add a few (stag) horns or bells to a few of them, hehe. The Lust Abominations though are plain boring, IMO. I think they'd work better with tiny legs dangling useless and creepy in the air while they do their knuckle walk. Say, GW zombie legs that I have to spare. That or maybe four crab legs instead of just two. Those oedematose legs of the Avatar, just smaller? A Slaanesh-y or maggot-like tail? Thoughts?

Edit: And the correct way to go about Polly is to mod her to fire the GL and support a FAITH team made up of Escher models standing in for other heroes. I just wish I had more of them

PS: Last edit, any typos left can be kept. Typing with a cut hand is bad enough in your own language

Latest SG posted and it looks nice.



and they fixed Polly's arm
