mark.long Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Just assembled the 3 Ten Thunders Samurai models and the crouching Samurai is probably 50% larger than he should be! A strange thing that I have noticed across a broad range of model producers from GW with their Merry and Pippin who were too big even if they had consumed the Fangorn water to Confrontation models and a 2000AD model I bought for the Strontium Dog range. I guess it must be some strange anomaly that occurs when scaling crouching figures. This Samurai would be about 8 feet tall! Not bad for a Japanese warrior I guess?

ArcticPangolin Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Makes for a good Fuhatsu proxy at the very least! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 This model, along with more than a few others, have often been complained about. The scaling consistency has gotten better with the newer releases, however many of the early to mid crew boxes contain at least one model that is noticeably out of scale with the rest of their box. Yes it is usually one that is either crouched or bending in some way. For a while it was a bit of a running joke. I think the official company line is still that these were intentional, and representative of the variances in human heights. Unofficially I think it was more attributable to the learning curves of digital sculpting over the older green stuff method, and also likely the company chosen to outsource production to.For the most part though it wont be super noticeable as typically you dont utilize all of the Samurai's at one time.

ArcticPangolin Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 you dont utilize all of the Samurai's at one time.Challenge accepted.Let us know how it goes! In pickup games I like Jigoku, but in a campaign I went Earth for the flexibility. I really need to get Heaven out on the table! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 24ss, I'd gladly reenact a scene from Sucker Punch, I might need to be playing against Viks though. All things considered, they might do well against Viks.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 I'm starting an Outcast kick soon. I can take Viks against you in vassal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tawg Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 I'm starting an Outcast kick soon. I can take Viks against you in vassal. I'm not sure when the next time I could fit a game in (Or your time zone/availability), but sure, I'd be down if we can work it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Of course it's not as thematic as it would be on the table but that would be much tougher to organize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
