Opinions on new teased models and future codex

[Captain Coolpants]

I like all the new models. Being rescaled is perfect and stops them looking weird. Means they now fit in with the rest of the armies. 

 

But, I despise monopose. And the only design flaw I see with anything, which is the same I've been saying for all their pointy eared releases, the poses are all soooo static! Supposed to be super fast and acrobatic, but literally have less dynamic poses than fat armoured marines lol. Makes zero sense to me. Like at all. 

 

Out of the whole army so far, the only dynamic poses are Jain Zar, and the new warp spider lord.... But if you ignore the warp lighting, she is just statically squatting over a very fancy tactical rock lol. (still a lovely model though)

Question - how out of scale are the Dire Avengers?... I should wait shouldn't I to see if they get redone ???...

Comparing eye-level heights, they are a tad shorter than the new scale but the tall helmets with crests give them a little more height that makes the difference less noticeable.  If you want to adjust the scale yourself, you can bash the Avenger arms, heads, and gubbins onto the new Guardian kits.

Those avenger molds are old and it shows. You can also use guardian arms on Corsair bodies and avoid helmets.

Thanks for the answers !, 

I do like the Avenger helmets so I’d prefer to have em on 

although I’m doing an old world orcs & gobbo’s army at the moment so that’s enough time with my glacial painting skills to actually have GW Do a new redesign of dire avengers before I’ve actually finished my army project
