Star Man posted:It's a bad Photoshop of space marine features on a terran marine costume from StarCraft II. No, that's actually an armored suit from a Zbrush tutorial with a marine pasted on it. Still, with people bitching (at times) about Marines not being anathomically correct, it's interesting to see how they could be redesigned to still remain Marine looking. Granted, the most iconic part is still the helmet, followed by the backpack, I guess.

I looked at the boots and could see the hydraulics underneath and a terran marine is what came to mind.

Space marines aren't anatomically correct humans, they're transhuman creations, vaguely shaped like humans but with all sorts of new features jammed in. Starcraft Terran marines though are supposed to be ordinary humans, so the weird proportions on them is pure artistic licence.

Oh, I know, happened to me too, but then I googled the image to find a bigger one or something for goon viewing pleasure. That's how I know. Certainly wouldn't fault your for not knowing random spacemans (probably "inspired" by SC Marines) that appear on the box of tutorial videos for... Blender?

One thing about SC Marines is that the hand are all armor - the human hand doesn't go into the gauntlet, unlike with Marines. However, the leg goes into the shoe.

Still, there are unfortunate implications in how unarmored Marines look, thought they never appear on tabletop... or videogames. The "how do space marines look outside of armor" was one of the things that lead me to believe that Beyond the Gates of Antare's Ghar are a parody of Astartes.

Even still, someone would need to be like four feet across to get their shoulders in the right places. Like I said, Blizzard proportions. Or they could be doing this: Thankfully, some nerd somewhere took care of those outlines for me.

My feel with SC marines has always been that they just have their arms crossed inside the chest piece and hold the controls for them there. They are, however, not as stupid as you might think: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=s...iw=1600&bih=737

Yeah, this anatomy issue is one area where the heavy armor stuff from Infinity is super-cool: They bypass the whole thing by leaving the pilot's arms exposed and just having the armor's arm motions mimic those of the pilot.

That's definitely not the case, the original Starcraft 2 teaser trailer clearly shows how the terran armor fits on them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TWUkIRjnW0 And the answer is, yes, it's just silly Blizzard proportions, as usual

I've seen those hanging arms on a few mech designs and i'm still not sure if it's really cool or loving dumb

Well, the pilot's wearing armour anyway, so they are no less armoured if they get hit in the arms than a normal soldier, while being substantially better protected elsewhere. I would assume the idea is that it's more a high mobility fire superiority platform than it is a walking main battle tank.

Pretty much, nothing is immortal in Infinity (except for the Avatar). Also, I think that particular mech matrioshka-s on destruction, and now you have a mere heavy (I think) infantryman with an HGM runnin around.

I think of it as an extension of the gun on the top hatch of a tank. Sure, you're exposed a little, but in practice, it let's you do some normal stuff (in this case, hold something, or operate something designed for normal humans--like say you want to grab a disk or suitcase or something that's important), and maybe is important to getting yourself out of the suit if it gets damaged and disabled. Just because the tank is great for doing tank-stuff, it's still an impediment for other stuff, and even if you're always out with your buddies, being able to use your normal hands for something without getting out of your tank-mech seems like it makes sense. The diaper robot from 40k doesn't make sense, because there's nothing about a terminator suit that's convenient in the first place. On the other hand, stuff like that can be interesting if the premise is 'we still know how to make giant robots--we just aren't sure how to pilot them without a) scooping your brain out of your skull (dreadnought) or b) suiting you up in an ancient suit of armor that still has a working But 40k is dumb. And the model looks silly. Infinity is pretty great. I wish I was a good enough painter to play.

Not a viking posted:Thats.. not how I got some drones I thought looked really cool. Then when I took them out of the package it looked like a pile of metal shavings with a round central body that was about 1/3rd the size my mind had assumed it would be. I decided I would never be able to assemble it and do it any kind of justice, so I might as well have not even bought it. Admittedly, this was probably a worst case scenario in terms of which mini I bought. But anyway, the point is that the charm for me is the minis, otherwise I'd play Advanced Squad Leader. Because anybody can trim counters.

Yes the people at raging heroes posted this following the french terrorist attacks. Here are peoples thought on the mini: http://www.gamewire.belloflostsouls.net/your-comments-on-our-we-are-in-shock-blog-post/ Yes, it is as horrible as you might think. I guess they were trying for a Marianne figure, but completely missed the point? Not sure all of the details, but figured it belong here.

Raging Heroes embody everything puritan zealots everywhere hate: enjoyment of the hobby in a myriad little ways: a fragrant cup of coffee and nazi Space Marines in the morning, Ukrainian slaves in basecoat standing freely on the dioramas the smell of warm recast, a battle in Kingdom Death shared with friends, a dab of ink on resin titty, gamers paying in the sex-positive Kickstarters, the right not to cover any bellies, not to worry about waist sizes, to paint and play and enjoy sexy minis outside of your house, to take Odalisques, to play any rulebook you want, to go to hobbyshop for free, to play, to laugh, to argue, to make fun of prudes and natives alike, to leave worrying about the miniatures to Tumblr. No company does the hobby better than the Raging Heroes. Heroes, we love you. We cry for you. You are mourning tonight, and we with you. We know you will laugh again, and sing again, and make miniatures, and heal, because loving minis is your essence. The forces of darkness will ebb. They will lose. They always do.
