Bengt Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Those antlers are so goofy; well at least they'd be easy to remove. Making it fit on the base without adding an overhang looks like it would be a lot more work. A bit on the fence whether to get this, thanks for the unboxing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciousmccabe Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Yeah, 'tis a bit derptacular. At least Snowstorm looks like a boss. Cheers for the unboxing GMort, you're a legend as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angyi Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Is this supposed to be a Ht3 model? And the pose... are push-ups a common form of physical punishment in the Cult of December? Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kross1 Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 So glad I have the metal one! Thanx for the unboxing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdc Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 It's a nice enough model and pose... quite feral. But the overhang on the base is painful... especially when using cast resin bases - no overhangs to use there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blomkaal Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Easily my least favorite resculpt, and probably the only model where I prefer the old metal over the new plastic. Still getting one, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yool1981 Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Thx a lot for the unboxing ! As always, it is very interesting. This is very rare that I find a mini from Wyrd utterly ugly. This is one of those rare occasions. The pose is peculiar (It looks like she is waiting to be "blessed" from behind...), it does not fit on the base and the horns are goofy. Worst of all, I see a lot gaps between the different pieces you have pasted together. Lots of annoying wasted moments playing with green stuff to be expected I guess... But then again, I don't like the artwork either (also a very rare occasion with Wyrd). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admiralvorkraft Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Man, the old metal model was great. Rocked the starving/feral/cannibal vibe in the way that the new one just doesn't. Oh well, the rest of the December models are a huge improvement over the metals and you can't win them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matter of taste...IMO the old Snow Storm perfectly captured that North American spirit-something feeling that the whole snow-ice-wendigo theme is based on. While the new one, being okay as it is, has no flavor at all. It's a vanilla demon that could have appeared in the WH beastman range or any fantasy tabletop.

Solicitor 6 Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 I have extra 40mm base done up for my Dark Carnival and was trying to figure out what to do with it. This certainly will fit the gaff/oddity/sideshow feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually found that this model fit real well together for me without gaps so you will not need much or any green stuff, though I do agree that it is a rather unattractive model.

Trample Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 This is a particularly unattractive piece. Almost the entire Wyrd range is fantastic, so one really poor one in there is certainly OK. Too bad though, I would like to have this model, but am not going to get this sculpt.
