ThatDarnSatan Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 I love the new Santiago! BUT HE'S HUGE! Do you think this a production issue that will be rectified later, or is he just a big guy? He fits snugly onto a 40mm base but getting him onto a 30mm is going to require some work. I'm a very slow painter who is reluctant to commit to anything, ever, so am wondering if I should go ahead and deal with the issue, or set him aside and wait for Wyrd to fix it later.

Mike3838 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 He's just big. Check the box cover art. Presumably he's the same proportions in the miniature (compared to his family) as he is in the art? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatDarnSatan Posted December 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) His stance is as wide as Taelor's in the verified-as-too-big Viks release, which is what made me wonder if this were a genuine error (though maybe Taelor was not one of the problems).

Nathan Caroland Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 He's that big and there is no fix needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoeIsMe Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 In the fluff he is always described as being a very large man, at least, I always got that from his descriptions.... so I am glad he is a larger model....bonus that he is barely contained on his base...which seems oddly fitting for a man that seems barely contained in his actions....

ThatDarnSatan Posted December 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 I like that he's huge too, and agree that a bigger Santiago is a better one. Thanks for the clarification from on high, Nathan. Perhaps there is no actual standard other than the one I perceive as a result of *most models fitting on the top of their bases, but it bugs me when a model spills onto the lip. I miss the aesthetic of tidiness brought by that regular, consistent ring around the base. That's my preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedarkknight Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Nice to know he is supposed to be that large. He is my favorite model from the Latigo set. My simple solution to make him "fit" on the 30mm base was to cut the rock off from his foot. Now he looks like he is charging blasting everything in sight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to do more work than I needed to: build it up with even more rocks to create an overhang that he could stand on without touching the lip of the base. Your solution is much preferable. Looks great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only think missing is something being kneed by his left knee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
