Guys, I think it is time to take a step back and calm down a bit ;)
Have been replying calmly to (he who shall not be named), but that personal attack was unwarranted - did I insult a relative?:D Will calmly reply back later tonight, but he'll call me names again... :'(

I'd prefer nobody calling anybody anything except their given names under appropriate circumstances.

Thanks in advance.

How many pages on this thread and how many pages specifically "slagging" the same mini? How would you feel about page after page praising it?

Get over yourself and move on.

So I heard a rumour that there are going to be non chaos factions for that new warhammer fantasy skirmish thing (the one that previewed new chaps furies).
Anyone else seen this, I heard about it but haven't seen anything on the met myself.

It was in the Warhammer Community adepticon post. The photo with the faction logos is gone, though it’s in the link Von Lucky posted.

The videos have shown icons for other factions and one of them is clearly Orks so there will be non-chaos factions.

Assume Undead, Orcs, $igmarines, and etc... :`

Don't expect normal humans, even though they're the bulk of the population in this Poor Man's Planescape setting. :(

On the plus side, based on the art, there might be some decent pantless barbarians and I hope they replace those godawful muscle suit wearing Chaos Marauders.

It's odd how so much perry stuff they seem to want to replace. Gives me the impression they want no association with them.
But under the license the figures were supposed to be signed off by the actors...
Something tells me that's not the case or someone isn't bothering.
Are figures still ascribed to "The Citadel Design Team" or was this also dropped?

Didn't know about the actors signing off on sculpts, just knew the purchased license prevented figures being in the same scale and IIRC, some phobia about mixing the ranges in tournaments. 

Thought of buying some Lake-town Guard for use as Kislevites, but

1) They're pricey resin, not styrene

2) The mail is off and some of the details look soft.

The best Empire plastics produced by the Perrys were the multipart ones, with metal guns and crossbows, from 98/99 - 20 for $19.99 and included a movement tray. I understand the need to Warhammerify human figures, but those bags of skulls should've been an option on the sprue, instead of powder monkeys and bottles. Had the Perrys done the new range in 7th, Empire payers wouldn't be trawling eBay for spare heads from the previous Warhammer and Mordheim ranges, to replace the simian caricatures - the archers and greatswords look fine. The prices are ridiculous, especially for greatswords, as $19.99 in 1999 would be $30.50 today, but it's $24.75 for 10 figures.

Not sure what your point is. I was pointing out that this thread exists because people can't keep it reasonable. Critique is one thing, but some statements you are making are rubbish. And I don't see you on threads elsewhere slating other miniatures for even worse chainmail...

My point is: you're contradicting yourself...

It's only rubbish, because you're biased and now whataboutism?!? lol
Also you have history. You are a troll. You've history elsewhere, grinding forums into the rubbish of purely gas-lighting. Which is exactly what you are doing here.
Temper tantrum already?

You must think I'm some kind of super master baiter...

Care to list the forums?

I've no interest of going anywhere else - you know this isn't a certain other site right? You know that the entire approach to this place is meant to be on the whole more positive, whilst constructive criticism is good, slating something for being utter crap isn't. And you don't seem to jump on other sculpts elsewhere for the same issues...

Then kindly don't be rude about it...

Need I bring up why you fled to Random Platypus?

Whataboutism again...

FYI, I was "pretty harsh" on those Pro-Gloria/Warlord Landsknechts for similar reasons...

There is a huge chunk of the historical market where the mail is not as good as that displayed on this mini. Mainly because being handsculpted it takes a hell of a lot more time and effort to sculpt actual links.

Now you dropped percentages, 'cause you couldn't back it up. lol What happened to fantasy and sci-fi?

Wait, you think the movies might actually have been the sculpting source?!! Wow. NSS.
Completely went over your head and thanks again for the insult...

Guys, please stop this. It's not going anywhere. You've made your respective points and all this is merely causing aggravation for no tangible result.
