Hawkman67609er Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 I love every model I've gotten from wyrd but I was confused on Ryle. His model is 2 heads shorter than a flesh construct. Here I was expecting the Hulk and I got Captain America.what makes him HT 3? Does he have a periscope? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludvig Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 His legs have springs so he is in fact always bouncing. The nightmare version of him will show him mid bounce Maybe it's balance, no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciousmccabe Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 He was ht3 in the last edition because he was a bit bigger than the typical model at the time. It's probably just a holdover from then, and height is a bit more erratically represented in the new line anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masquer Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 You could account for the extra HT by saying that he's particularly noisy or that his operation has byproduct smoke or opaque gasses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solkan Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 For what it's worth, plastic Ryle is at least a bit bigger than metal Ryle.http://gmortschaotica.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/unboxing-malifaux-m2e-ryle.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnternalVoid Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 It is because Ryle stands tall.Okay joke aside I have to agree it is likely a hold over from the last edition and a balance issue to make it harder for Ryle to hide *cannot hide behind Ht2 models*.

I'm pretty sure it's to make him better if anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 On a similare note. I always wondered why Sidir Alchibald should be ona 40mm base, considering that none other "human sized" character is, and that ther are other clearly larger minis who are on 30mm? Dashel, who is clearly wider around the waist and broader, is on a 30mm base, I don't get it. We have other models who barley can't fit on a 30mm base, barley on a 40mm base either for that matter,which they are supposed to have. /C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciousmccabe Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 I think the larger base for sidir is for space to deploy his machine gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its probably a personal space thing. I would guess Ryle is ht 3 because he was a big athletic man before he crossed the breech, and then had lots of big clumpy attachements added to save his life, which made him even taller.

JazzNazz Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Dont forget Witchling stalkers are height 2 along the the Soul porter TBH I wouldn't worry about it lets not forget we are playing a miniture game not everything in the rules matches up with the models background and design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durza Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Pretty sure the Ht stat is more a models presence on the field than actual height, how big they are certainly contributes, but he's a big guy with robotic enhancements like a power fist and minigun, he's going to draw attention. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
