I was going by an article on GW's site.

It's best not to believe those.

Not sure I know what you mean shadowlord? Didn't say random?
Just your negative wave you're throwing out. All armies have weakness and strength as you pointed out in your rational post.
Besides your easy to mess with!

Ha ha ha... I am usually jumped on for doing the exact opposite.

Fluff and rules ain't the same, one is the background and the other requires tactical accumen, some dice, and probably a few brain cells to get them all together (unless you play Daemons). When you learn the difference, let me know, and we can continue the discussion about the beastmen on a mature sexy level. See what I am getting at here?

Beastmen - hate the written fluff, think the list is average, and love the models.

Nicholas Bies · « **Reply #2132 on:** February 14, 2010, 01:03:46 PM »

You know I think the list is perfect. You can tailor it up to make it quite a nasty and strong list, tailor it down to be easy for your opponent and anything in between.

BTW Daemons can be beaten guys...

Anway back to Madagascar 2

TBH I really like the beasts list and models.

I don't like the new minotaurs at all. Maybe it's the 'ropey' paint job on them. I also wish they had the angled leg look of the gors/ungors.

Concerning the razorgor, I found this on another forum and must say I agree with the writer (in hindsight) :

"
I honestly take offence with all the hate being slung at the Razorgor since its release. I'm the original conceptartist for this sculpture (which, for your information, has beenpraised by the GW Studio heads and the entire 'Eavy Metal crew) and thesculptor followed my sketches meticulously, with great results. Itsaddens me that true miniature art won't be appreciated by the whiningmasses of the Internet while they drool over boring paintjobs and lazysculpting.

I hope all of you will think twice the next timeyou'll comment on this fantastic, highly detailed 13-piece miniature,and hopefully I have changed the minds of some people here.

(A sample sketch I drew can be seen here, for anyone interested.)"

Wow, as I suspected the over-sensitive BS is still alive and kicking on the web...

I'll chime in with Finlay here -

The concept sketch is awesome

That was funny.

I wish they had made it like the amazing picture located in the BEastbook where they discuss the models statistics.

Just like the majority of the excellent artwork, I can't but agree.

Having seen the razorgor from the otherside, one can wonder what crazed idea Aly had when he sculpted the side we see on the box cover.

Taureus · « **Reply #2141 on:** February 15, 2010, 05:05:33 AM »

Not to shit all over the 'Eavy Metal guys, but the paintjob on the Razorgor sucks hardcore...

Case and point: Prime paintjob.

EDIT: Yes, there are small cosmetic conversions. Noticeably the eyelids. And the spines on the back.

Sig · « **Reply #2142 on:** February 15, 2010, 05:47:15 AM »

They're still crap though, those horrible club tails held up almost like scorpion stingers, combined with the tusks are just awful. It's like Gary Morley and Aly Morrison had a competition to see who could sculpt the worse model.

Moxer · « **Reply #2143 on:** February 15, 2010, 06:58:18 AM »

That small conversion on the eye is what makes to model much better. These are actually OK. Still ugly chaos mutants, but in a way a chos mutant is expected to be ugly.
But still not worth that amount of money imo.

Amen to that, hideous models and testament to GW's sculpting standards ever so slowly falling by the wayside.

Taureus · « **Reply #2145 on:** February 15, 2010, 08:02:01 AM »

I didn't say it was a 100% improvement!

Just better than the bulging eye-o-doom.

Oh you are so right, just look at the last Skaven and Tyranid releases, or the upcoming BM stuff.

Do anyone really buy your BS on these boards?

Sig · « **Reply #2147 on:** February 15, 2010, 09:07:48 AM »

I do have to say that I think with the exception of the hideous Razorgor and questionable minotaurs that the vast majority of recent GW stuff has been a huge improvement vs previous incarnations.

Almost every release has a dud anyway. It's rare they get it completely right, but I think the Skaven might just fit the bill...

JustNorth is entitled to voice his opinion, just like you or me.

I disagree with him too, but I'd appreciate it if you expressed that slightly less provocative.

Thank you for your cooperation.
