I feel FW expanded so rapidly after the massive success of of the Horus Heresy, that they started to spend less time with some of their kits, particularly the legion specific upgrades...Eric Wierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01276836738624222147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-75884047843371379662015-11-25T06:27:34.977-08:002015-11-25T06:27:34.977-08:00Sorry I was so excited there's a bit of errors...Sorry I was so excited there's a bit of errors in that post.<br />I agree that the MkIII Astartes are the most properly proportioned without the overly skinny appearance the other marks have. I kinda cringe a little inside whenever Forgeworld makes more Legion specific kits in that same "Wee-man" scale, such a loss.Walthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09003519892125940232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-20688730713652626952015-11-25T06:25:12.250-08:002015-11-25T06:25:12.250-08:00I honestly thought I was the only one who noticed....I honestly thought I was the only one who noticed.... this blog.. this entire blog is so well tohught out and informed and gives an opinion of the bloggers but not without a subjective look of the how and why;s of that opinion.

Having a plastic contemptor would be pretty rad, though. To be able to use a dreadnought again would be excellent, as they have been horrible for many many years.Eric Wierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01276836738624222147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-40626987271636774642015-08-01T07:51:34.835-07:002015-08-01T07:51:34.835-07:00Ha ha, there is truth to that.

(actually, now that I think about it, I have pretty close to a whole company!) I would be more excited about these if they were true scale, or looked like <a href="http://apologentsia.blogspot.com/2015/05/inload-know-no-fear-showcase-of-army-as.html#comment-form" rel="nofollow">apologist's stuff</a>. As it is, I think these will be mostly bitz buy targets for me.

I think it is the sad fact that they will likely never redesign Space Marine to be 'true-scale,' since such a huge range of their miniatures are Space Marines...Eric Wierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01276836738624222147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901426566557963132.post-11109356079526805542015-07-30T04:27:35.841-07:002015-07-30T04:27:35.841-07:00I don't want to sound like a negative Nancy, b...I don't want to sound like a negative Nancy, but I just can't get excited by toy-scale Marines at this point. In fact, every new release makes the possibility of GW revising them even less likely. <br /><br />That said, there looks to be some nice bits on those sprues.Nicklashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05829498885553698143noreply@blogger.com
