I can't wait to see them painted.

I'm right there with you on the u...@Evil Homer<br /><br />I'm right there with you on the under arm bolters. There are 3 things about them that bother me, and while each is small, they add up to make the whole...lackluster.<br /><br />1. They're too short. Boxy to the point of feeling almost square. They're nowhere near square, but the length of the sickle mag makes the 'zone' that they occupy seem bigger vertically.<br /><br />2. The trigger assembly is still on the model, right behind the mag. It lies on the same plane as the end of the gun, compounding the above boxy-ness. The little slope-y bit has also been cut off, again compounding the boxy-ness.<br /><br />3. There's nothing 'connecting' the body of the gun to the arm. he's got the grip, and that's it. Granted, there could be bolts that we can't see, but it's a visual medium. We need to see something to clue us in on that connection, some sort of anchor so we can see the gun being held in place.<br /><br />The melta-gun is spot on, btw. It's what clued me in that the triggers were bothering me, since its trigger is gone.<br /><br />So, I'd reccomend first, cut off the bolter triggers.<br /><br />Next, look at the magazine. I'd consider shortening it, or maybe moving it farther back on the bolter. If I were feeling particularly ambitious, I'd remove it, and replace it with a feed to the backpack, like old metal Grey Knights.<br /><br />Last, I'd do something to anchor the bolters. Likely some sort of plasticard strips, bolting it onto the forearm.<br /><br />PS-Captcha of the day: homanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349292176380807894.post-39945507565895333412011-06-13T09:21:01.540-05:002011-06-13T09:21:01.540-05:00I don't know if I like the underslung weapons....I don't know if I like the underslung weapons.
