I was under the impression that it was one torso - one set of arms.

I intended to buy these for the arms alone from the beginning so if what you are typing is true, then they won't be as bad as I thought.

I'm so gonna scour Warseer for pics of the sprues.

This is the best pic I have found to date:

I can see 5 sets of legs, and maybe 6 torsos?

Still don't see £25.00 worth though - I planned a couple of boxes to boost my existing regiment of Ed.5 metal ones, and maybe for some kitbashing bits, but no more.

Thanks!

Looks like there is about 8 arms/combos per five troopers so that would make it 16 per box I reckon.

Still not worth it I think.

I thought that was an Empire temple?

I certainly plan on daubing "SIGMAR SIGMAR KARL FRANZ" all over mine, then adding cherubim and feathers to make it more Empire.

Is the terrain prepainted?

Those are old news. Ratling snipers. Hideous models. Just like the original ratling models, which are also hideous. They really can't do ratlings.

They aren't that bad. Well, except the feet. Those are horrible.

I do like the bloodbowl-guy at the top left though.


Edit: Forget that. Just noticed that one of the snipers has his base decorated with... wait for it... A SKULL!

I'm really starting to lose it here. What is this supposed to be, a friggin' charnel house? Do GW sculptors get paid by the number of skulls they can model? Did they get their job description wrong and read "skullptors" instead? Grim darkness of darkest dark is all good and well, but folks, what are you smoking that all you can think of are stupid f**** SKULLS?

The sculptors are just trying to be realistic. If you've ever been in a real combat situation, you know that there are skulls EVERYWHERE. Most modern soldiers carry around one or two skulls for good luck or to show how badass they are. If you don't, people start to wonder if your some kind of nancy boy. I assume it has been like this throughout history.

Indeed.  People die in war, and dead people leave skulls behind.  Ergo, any soldier worth his salt is going to be positively festooned with skulls.

It's science.

The first school of thought is that the ragged-assed Stirlanders, not having two coppers to rub together, nicked it when an elven envoy was passing through the area and had hopped off it to take a pee behind a tree

And you really can't disprove such hard nail biting scientific fact like that with historical anecdotes can you.


Fact is considering everyone in the empire world is so similar in looks the only real way to differentiate between people is with your skullz!

The greatest form of control which can go on forever until it is exposed is a tyranny you can't see, touch and taste (unlike totalitarian Govts). When you sit in a prison cell but can't see the bars, because people don't rebel against not being free when they think they're are.

And the skulls look so similar, the only way to differentiate between fellow skull carriers is with MORE skulls!

and then you can go one better in the way you carry all your skulls - I suggest a Bretonnian Pegasus, ..................

.................. which you can then refer to as a Skullasus

and you can be even more distinctive and grow scallions chives in the eye sockets .....................

I just checked the prices for this terrain piece. They borderline on skullduggery...

I'm almost certain Midaski has a book/large file of recorded conversations and suitable "oneuppances" listed for each member involved in each conversation.

And two injokes is one too many.  :engel:

?? I think those models are awesome. Badass halflings at last! Comparing them to the old models borders on sacrilege in my opinion.

Not to mention they have skulls, which (as we all know) automatically makes every model better.
