GMort Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 How do you improve a Samurai? Give him a shoulder mounted Gatling Gun obviously...Here's an unboxing and review of the Samurai for Wyrd Games Malifaux game... http://gmortschaotica.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/unboxing-malifaux-samurai.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decker_cky Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Looking great. I notice the barrels are flat on the gatling guns - it'll probably look better if you use a pinning vice to drill out the barrels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't tend to modify the models in any way for the articles though I may drill them out later before painting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decker_cky Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 You can also just paint the tips of the barrels black, but barrels are something plastics have a hard time with and it's a super easy modification that makes the model look a lot better. By the way, I was looking back through all your unboxes the other day, and I really appreciate them. It's really nice to get shots of models with close-ups and at angles, along with feedback on how tough assembly is. Keep up the good work!

Jimbobovalsocks Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Wyrd need to sort out their scaling. Once or twice is ok, but when every squatting or bending model is twice the size of it's standing neighbours, it starts to look stupid. The Death Marshalls, the Young Lacroix, the Guild guard, these samurai every posed model is way too big! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha - looking at that picture this morning, the first thing I thought was "If this was a 40K forum, someone would have told him to drill the barrels by now." Those habits run deep.

WaywardSun13 Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 That's a whole lot of Dakka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Git Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 My solution for the giganto Samurai is to put him on a 50mm base & vallah! I now have a Fuhatsu model that I like! Also normally I quite enjoy putting models together (my favourite part of the hobby is converting), but these guys pushed my patience to the very limit! & I didn't even convert them! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadeton Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Hmm, a Fuhatsu proxy is a pretty good idea. I'm not comfortable with the way his art/model seem to play up his disability for attempted humor - without that, he's just an enormous samurai dude, which this model is perfect for.

I think Fuhatsu becomes okay once you give him a tophat and some serious sideburns, as well as samurai shoulder pads. He becomes more like a crazy hobo with a huge Cannon rather than a comical disabled person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
