I see their Nounverber naming scheme is holding up with that Bloodborne Skullgrinder there. Maybe he's friends with the Bloodborne Bloodstoker

I have two main issues with the tau missilemania mech. One, guns being directly attached to the body don't mesh well with having a head. IMO, it should either have arms or lose the head--I'd lean towards dropping the head. Two, the leg pose does not work at all with that body and armament. It worked alright for the new broadside and the riptide because of their more humanoid shape and the lower mounting of their main guns--it gives the impression of a person bracing to fire a big gun. On this, the guns are mounted like a Battletech mech, but it's standing like a humanoid mech. There's a disconnect there, and it really bugs me.

I thing "stupid but also stupid" goes for most Khorne models. Marauders + some Chaos Warriors is best Fantasy chaos, especially since Warriors look so cool.

ASK ME ABOUT HOW SCOTLAND'S PROPOSED TRANS LEGISLATION IS DIVISIVE AS HELL BECAUSE IT IS SO SWEEPING THAT IT COULD BE POTENTIALLY ABUSED AT A TIME WHERE THE LACK OF SAFETY FOR WOMEN HAS BEEN SO GLARING
I think the one second from the right will be the least popular of the set.

As for Tau thing, all I see is missiles and a bit of stuff holding them up. I assume the shoulder tube is for a really big missile. Its special attack involves walking into the middle of the enemy, firing everything at once to kill whatever is in front before recoil topples it backwards to crush whatever is now behind it. Or should that under it?

And in closing I have yet to see a Sigmar model that I like. Especially the chaos skull fort thing.

I actually like most of the Chaos AOS stuff. They look like they'd make great Khorne Berserkers if you just gave em backpacks and bolt pistols. The Marauder-looking dudes seem to be solid models too, I'm just not a fan of most of the characters or the big thing in the box set. The Stormcast are pretty uninspiring.

Also those not-Epic not-Sisters have probably the tiniest boobs sculpted by man. I can't imagine much titillation from a 6mm model.

Yeah, if KD got in on this it could be amazing. I mean, think of the value of having a phalanx of 40 rainbow vomiting dick monsters attended by microscopic women, many of whom do not survive the process of rearing them?

This has *always* been the benefit of 6mm format. Yes, detail on each dick, (veins, sores, hair, identifying marks) is lost, but the sheer number of dicks goes through the roof.

A typical 3000 pt army could be looking at a DPI2 of 14-17.

You just can't get that at the 28mm heroic dick scale.

Dicks.

Speaking of alternative Chaos Dwarves, does anyone make a good Llamasu? That's the one model I wish I got when it was re-released with Storm of Magic. Love that ugly thing.

I might have an original metal one lying around if you're interested. I've got a fuckload of old 4th ed. Warhammer minis in boxes from when my brother and I played as kids.

At that level of detail, you could do it yourself with Blender and a sufficiently advanced 3d printing website.

Don't feel bad; my reaction was "why would they put the railgun over the missle pods? That causes so much unnecessary torque!". And now I'm thinking that the Orks had it right - the dickgun is exactly what you want, so the friction on the feet counteracts the torque from the gun and...

Help me.

At least i have a new test question for if i ever teach physics.

IIRC back when they had their own Codex (in 3rd and 4th editions) the Catachans did have worse armor across the board than normal IG. Well, in 3rd they did, in 4th they just couldn't buy Carapace armor.

When time and money allows me to try and get back into Epic I'll definitely try them out for a SoB detachment. I don't like their "Imperial" vehicles but got plenty of spare plastic Rhinos.

6mm is a great scale but I actually wanted things that are less obviously Epic stuff, since everyone will recognise it from 40k.
