Brother Kovash Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Thanks for sharing grotsmasha. I had a feeling the Chaplain wouldn't be push-fit, but to be honest I glued together all the models from AoBR before painting to make sure they stayed in one piece. Except for the Dreadnought's arms, those are removable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonis Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Thanks for sharing those. It's already given me some conversion ideas. My box should be arriving shortly. Except I'm about to leave for work. Cursed real life getting in the way again!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 No worries guys. I'm even more impressed with the kit now that I've got it. As much as it's all push-fit, a very small amount of work will leave most guys posable to a small degree. Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion El Jason Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Local indy store owner here says the chaplain is going to be a separate release later this year. That could be why he's more of the usual IC quality rather than starter box quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Juan Juarez Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I have issues with push-fit; I know the boxes are aimed at newer players, mostly likely they're going to be younger ones too, so that it's all to do with the ease of getting a force together and ready to play but I feel like there's an unrealistic expectation that it engenders - how many new players might then discover the, relative, complexity of the "true" 40k models and be put off? Also, I'd just like to point out it's early in the morning and I didn't sleep well so if that rant makes little or no sense, ooops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand where you're coming from, but there's a couple of items (Hellbrute, Bikers) that give a better indication of the larger hobby.

shabbadoo Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Adults very much underestimate the capabilities of kids (and I use that term loosely, as some people like to apply it to ages 2-17). I tutor grades K-12 and I see this all the time. I am even occasionally guilty of it myself, because, for their age, some kids are quite smart/think very logically. Kids also get lots of practice putting together/solving puzzles, and that is all models really are: three-dimensional puzzles. It is like people don't remember that they were young once themselves, and not so stupid as to not be able to figure out how to build a puzzle or a model. Then again, maybe they were stupid and couldn't figure out how to build a puzzle or model decently enough (unlikely, as most people can figure out where an arm/leg/gun goes, let alone when have moronically simple pictorial instructions showing them where the bits go). Or, nobody ever bought them a model/let them build one, which would be pretty sad. I don't think any n00bs who are actually interested enough in the game to get more models will have much trouble building those other models. Generally speaking, when people are interested in something they will usually learn how to do it as well as they can. Kids are not as stupid, or unmotivated, as people might think.
