Agermemnon Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Well I'm posting this after faffing about with the Blessed of December, hmmm not a nice mini imo in every respect. She looks like she's squatting for a dump and has then realised, ooow I've no toilet roll. C'mon Wyrd you can and have done so much better than this, consign this sculpt to the bin and give the Blessed of December a mini to be proud of pleeeease.

LupusFerreus Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Shikome. Only because I love the other spirits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decker_cky Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Avatar of Marcus and Shikome are two I really don't like. Lazarus has some definite issues, but with a little work you can minimize those (particularly the hip joints). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Hungering Hippo, the model had great potential but I really don't care for the sculpt - seems too round, soft. Other than that I'm cool with most of the other models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alviaran Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Shikome for sure. And Ikiryo, in that order actually. Otherwise, every single one of the spirits are probably in the running for my favourite Wyrd miniatures. I also think the Rail Golem could have been better. The rail is a little short looking (I'd actually have preferred him holding a length of rail in each hand to better represent his paired aspect) as well as something to fix those knees. So tiny.

Finnegan Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Nekima. Keeping a big model in position when it's held by one teeny-tiny ankle to its base is no easy feat, even with pinning The Rats, but that's mostly because I'm no fan of having to differentiate similar models myself.

Guild Monkee Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Sam Hopkins, please god Sam Hopkins! It's the only model in Malifaux that I hate that there isn't an alt sculpt for. I'd like to see a plastic peacekeeper too, I love the current model but building/transporting can be interesting. I'd also like to see multipart plastics for stuff you need a few of like bayou gremlins and gamin, just so each mini can look unique.

Firah Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I would love to see the spawn mother + Gupps redone into a plastic set, they are lovely models but they are insanely expensive as metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_was_like_you Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) I would love to see the spawn mother + Gupps redone into a plastic set, they are lovely models but they are insanely expensive as metal. I'll say. Spawn Mother 8ss (includes one 3ss Gupps) for $35 (but does not actually include one $18.00 Gupps) + Gupps 3ss each for $18.00 (4 x 18 = 72) = $107, not counting taxes... Does fishteats perform well enough to justify those costs? Sell her as a crew box in plastic for $35 with herself, 4 Gupps (which would really be 16 little guppies...).

dgraz Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I agree with the Spawn Mother and Gupps ideas due to cost.........also about the Blessed, I didn't think the model was that bad itself, but it costs more than Izamu. I was most disappointed with the Marcus Avatar........but I'm not happy with the rules for it either, so I wouldn't get it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hateful Darkblack Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Avatar Zoraida. I love the rules, but the sculpt is difficult to assemble, and looks like a sexy nymph babe, where I really wanted a mean old hag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xKoBiEx Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Vik 1 Vik 2 alt Vik 1 alt Vik 2 Bad manufacturing design. The models look decent but are outdated and have very weak joint locations. Minions, typically, I am going to be a lot more forgiving with aesthetics so I'm not going to spill my hate of Illuminated and Depleted...I'll convert them to my liking (especially since they are plastic.) Masters, I like to have look like the original designer's interpretation even if it is bad. But, I would like everything done in plastic.

i_was_like_you Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Oh, here's something. Can the concept art and the final sculpts stop being mirrored? Some examples, just within reach, at least one of the Railworkers, McCabe, Yamaziko... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alviaran Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Sam Hopkins, please god Sam Hopkins! It's the only model in Malifaux that I hate that there isn't an alt sculpt for. How could I forget Hopkins?! The only Guild only crew I own is Sonnia Criid and I HATE Hopkins model. I tried sculpting a long coat around him to give him a mantled coat look, but I can't sculpt to save my life and ripped it back off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borrow their legs while you're at it to get rid of Sonnia's legs and high heels he's wearing. Talk about walking a mile in someone else's heels...

i_was_like_you Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 I wrote the evil tadpole earlier in the thread but I'm guessing most of the people just take it for granted and don't mention it here. The miniature one on the illuminated looks better than the full-sized HD. ---------- Post added at 04:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 AM ---------- Faces, pretty much all around, for so many models. All three of Colette's alts / avis have butterface going on. Maybe just switching over to plastic and shrinking their Betty Boop sized heads will fix a lot of that. While we're shrinking some heads, slightly, can we get an upsize to Miss Terious, head, body, and all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewkas Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Not a big fan of the Illuminated with the beasty over it's head. The woman and wolverine looking guy are pretty cool. Beckoners are great except they seem a bit smaller scale wise to the rest of the crew. They look like dwarves next to the Illuminated. Huggy is not great but I think the Lynch model with the skeleton is awesome. Why don't you like Avatar Raspy Ausplosions? I think she is a sweet model. Maybe I should bring her out next week :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_was_like_you Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 I'm not a fan of the illuminated having the mini hd beasty over its head, either. I just think that the mini hd beasty itself looks better than the actual hd. More bumps and details, due in no small part to being made of more small parts. And it has arms! Not just lil shrimp legs, but massive, brilliance arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
