Can't be doing with the half arms - that's disappointing
I've never had a problem with shoulder joints, not even on the unclad Perry Zulus, so I really wish they'd just gone the orthodox route with these and done whole separate arms... But we shall see how they work out in practice.
Can't be doing with the half arms - that's disappointing As said, they severely limit the kit-bashing potential with other manufacturers and sets, and even what you can to with the figures within the set itself. Couldn't get on with the Conquest figures because of that - although these look to be way better figures. The Conquest archers in particular were extremely crudely done with some very weird poses and stances as a result.Against that, eight figures and a good variety of heads arms and accoutrements on the frame is pretty generous compared to some recent cheapskate offerings from Gripping Beast and Fireforge, so well done for that Victrix. Not quite Perry standards of generosity with as many as 14 different bodies in some recent sets. But then we have yet to see what's on the command frame for this set.I'm sure I'll get a box anyway. But speaking as someone who has done a huge amount of modelling and kit-bashing with 28mm 'historical' plastics over the last few years, I've never had a problem with shoulder joints, not even on the unclad Perry Zulus, so I really wish they'd just gone the orthodox route with these and done whole separate arms... But we shall see how they work out in practice.I do also like the fact that they've included some differently sized shields. That's a nice touch. I doubt dark age shields were all exactly uniform in size.
