I love that they've come out with new poses for a couple of the marks, but I'm proper fuming about this hand on the gun thing. It really adds a level of complication to painting my Iron Hands scheme for no good reason.

Eh. While it was inevitable, I still heavily dislike the 'hand moulded to gun rather than arm' trend we're stuck with now. Plus, can't say I'm impressed with the new ones. II-IV are fine, but I don't like the raised leg on the V and VI kits, some motion is fine, but this is taking it too far imo. The leg up that high is kinda limiting pose-wise, and would really odd on say, a Breacher or heavy weapon trooper. Shame really, because Mk V is easily one of my favourite armour marks.

I miss the old guns which had triggers and grips so you could have ungripped weapons. One of my first assault marines was a Flamer equipped one holding a Meltabomb and gripping his flamer with one hand on the 'furniture'.

Big fan of the more dynamic poses on the Mk V & VI, and how crisp the new molds are - especially on the Corvus plate.

 

I was kinda hoping that there would be some variation introduced to the Mk V & VI though - the only difference I can see is different belts, would have been nice to see some variant helms / torsos along the lines of the Mk II, III & IV

I'll echo this disappointment. I had no expectations for MkVI to be honest, but MkV? Opportunities missed imo, but on the bright side we do have a lot more leg poses so less choppy-choppy if you're obsessive about diversity.
