PraetorDragoon Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Cool minis, even though I think the dancing one looks a bit odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valhallan42nd Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I think the limbs look a bit stumpy. I was hoping for a more aggressive feel to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent of the Breach Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Looks cool; a little too mechanical for my taste, but cool. That said, where is my neverborn preview? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirial Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Mechanical pugs! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stany Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 As a Yan Lo I'm really wanting some Komainu for Toshiro's upgrade and to run in some crews from the start and as there kind of themed for his crew they just don't look right for me I think they look cool as models but I'm a bit disappointed maybe with a rusted look I can get a match for my crew as I've got a very rusted dark dull dirty paint scheme 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I think the limbs look a bit stumpy. I was hoping for a more aggressive feel to them. I gotta agree here. They look like pugs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrflamme Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Awesome - looking forward to building up my TT with these guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Meh. Been really waiting for these and the concept art looked cool but these I don't like at all. They have the proportions of pugs or bulldogs and they don't look very aggressive at all. The one that's jumping up looks like my dog greeting me when I come home from work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengt Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I think the limbs look a bit stumpy. I was hoping for a more aggressive feel to them. Also, the head doesn't look like it can move, both have it at the same angle to the body, it makes them look unwieldy and kind of clumsy. The bottom one looks much better if you cover the top one IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraetorDragoon Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Right here. Stabby, stabby stab! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunarSol Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Neat. I was surprised when they were machines instead of stone constructs with the Retainer trait, but its a good implementation of the art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reign Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Not a fan.... Was hoping for stone lion living statue type model similar to Ghostbuster's Demon Statue Dogs... not robotic PUG's with Electro-Mane and Cannon Tongue 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I was hoping these would be like statues, but I'm glad they will be coming out. They don't seem very thematic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valhallan42nd Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I wanted something more like a hunter, or the Zu'ul dogs from Ghostbusters. Something powerful, not pug like. I have no problem with their mechanical nature, just in their limb size and stance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormLordXIII Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I'm actually a huge fan of these - I think they'll make good thematic additions to my Mei Feng construct crew. To be honest, actual Komainu guardian statues are pretty static, and I think these sculpts push movement to the limit while still making them representative of their historical inspirations. Cool stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneLittleThunder Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I am glad to see these guys in plastic, but I'm not a huge fan of the look (at least from these renders). I'll certainly buy some, but will probably keep using my jade statue proxies instead when I can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vorbeck Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I absolutely love them they look amazing I can't wait to get them need them with Toshiro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirial Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Two TT previews in a row... this justifies my getting Mei Feng now. Mei Feng doesn't need justification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinkoman Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 They look cool in their own right. But i don't think they really fit the theme of Malifaux (well what has been presented in the past). The more i see new renders, the more i'm wondering if i even understand the art direction of Malifaux. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 The more i see new renders, the more i'm wondering if i even understand the art direction of Malifaux. This. I agree with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4st4f4n Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Regarding them looking too mechanical, one's argument could be "How is an undead (not very smart looking) Daimyo supposed to build one of these from Scrap?". Then, an average Arcanist should summon mech-Leviathans... IMO, Jorogumo is much more D&D than it should, and Komainu not enough. They're both awesome characters, but they don't fit in their Ten Thunders niche as perfectly as they could Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
