You can hate me all you want, but is your money. GW is cutting a lot of corners to make the deadline and they are charging a premium for it.

 

Not sure why you think people here'd hate you for these comments? Think there's plenty of people (rightfully) critical of GW on here. And down votes are not a thing  here.

That's not insane Brother,  it's a cool mini. Just those HBs are janky, set up with the Quad Lascannon and you're winning the rule of cool.

I've seen a lot of negative reactions to anyone who is critical of GW stuff, even when its justified. Kind of crazy that people aren't holding GW to the price point of the models and game. I mean, we pay a fortune for this stuff, so getting stuff that is sub par should burn everyone.

At the risk of sounding insane and/or hateful, I honestly think it looks quite good.

I probably won't buy it, unless I win the lottery sometime before it's released, but I think it's a really nice model and it'd be a fun project to do legion heraldy, weathering etc. on it.

 

Everyone is free to like or dislike it, but I think the point is more that (for its price) it seems like a step backwards from kits that came out a decade + ago.

Given the front gun port is the same as a land raider proteus/spartan, I'll be sad if we can't put lascannons there too!

I know I am. My point (apart from how liking/disliking models is subjective) is that it's a bit counterproductive to say that people who disagree with you on matters of taste are insane and or that their disagreement is somehow "hate". I don't say this to be snarky, it's just because I think we generally get better discussions if we avoid that kind of thing.

Nothing a few hours painstakingly removing, measuring, cutting, and expanding the upper magazines won’t fix. Oh and gap filling. Easy peasy. 

Or just painting black into the line between the steel magazine housing and the lower black gun casing to represent that the box does just pop off the side and is not an integrated piece? 

 

Quad mount like that is just a really awkward design from the start... but it's 'rule of cool' awkward and that makes it fine to good for me. 

 

It's cool, but I wouldn't use it often enough to warrant actually buying.

 

Cheers,
