I don't like the mail: it looks like spaced out washers or scale armor, though tidier than a certain GW figure.
I agree that the chainmail is the weakest part of the mini, but overall these are imo the best plastic mini's for Vikings / Saxons yet.It's the same chainmail as used on the EIR Auxiliaries and when painted it looks good.
That's probably why they are made that way... regarding the quality of the sculpting in general, I don't think that the "poor" depiction of a chainmail is something they overlook. More like a way to represent it in a way that will "look good on the table top", IMHO.
Agreed. Once painted it won't be an issue, and these aren't finished models so they still have time to modify it.
Yes, they are finished. I already pre-ordered a box.I think once the chainmail is painted it's fine. Imo the best range of plastic Vikings yet.
I thought they were renders, not the finished product.
The post image is a test shot of the final product from their Facebook post. In the final product the straight lines of chainmail that run across the body then straight along bent arms is still there, but less pronounced than the initial renders. Roman image included for comparison
