£17.50 for a scout?
That's some strong shot you're smoking.

Oh well at least Azrael got an upd-...oh...

Yeah, I don't imagine that guy will fly off the shelves  :) Easy enough to convert a better-looking mini from the current kits if you want the character.

The new Tzeentch disc rider, on the other hand, looks amazing.

Miniatures may not be particularly nice. But I see plenty of piss poor older sculpts on ebay go for extortionate amounts of money. Each to their own. There is always someone else's view on objects. Tis the way of the world and it'll never be changed.

Easier just to shrug your shoulders and move on.

I never really get why people pay thousands of pounds for a watch when a £20 will still tell the time - it doesn't mean I think I'm right, or they're wrong. We're just different. And who am I to care about how someone else spends their money?

So it will fit in with the rest of the scouts...

Current plastic scouts are pure trash.
The metals are superior.
Just this one wasn't 😂

Yeah the basic metal marine scouts were superbly done - I painted up a bunch a year or two ago.  The plastics are horrid (well the faces at least).  The Naaman dude is awful.  A bit laughable he's the cost of an entire box of modern plastics from places like Fireforge, or Oathmark, Frostgrave, etc.

Yep, I can see the pic. I agree with you too, the old Pig Iron heads worked well and the ones you have there look good too AWu.

Yeah what is the deal with the plastic scout heads, they are awful lol

I have some nice sensible Pig Iron heads in ballistic helmets on order for my one plastic box of scouts and the scout land speeder storm that I have got to build for my Raptors chapter.

My metal scouts are cool and I have always liked them :-*

Better than gurning scouts

I'll be getting that ogre for sure. I might even try to pick up a second to get to sabretysks and convert the other ogre.
