Cyclomatic posted:Warmachine/Hordes, and it is true that one of the things that I appreciate about it is that they keep their models and art very tame from a cheesecake, gross, or inappropriateness point of view. I generally tend to omit mentioning that it is part of a tabletop game, so they pretty much take it like I was painting a WWII model. Avengers was a billion dollar movie, a werewolf with a sword isn't that big of an eyebrow raise anymore... Dead hooker models not so much. Although tbh, I wouldn't paint a lot of GW models either. Well, you could play Guild. Cowboys and robots city guardsmen and little magic munchkin dudes, no hookers to speak of. Or Arcanists, unless like, bare midriffs on otherwise nonsexualized female models like Kaeris and Myranda are over the line for you, other than that they are again about robots and wild animals. Lady Justice is a little booby in an amazon Wonder Woman sort of way and Perdita may be too sexualized for you but those two are as bad as the Guild faction gets in that regard and they aren't bad at all.

I'm hoping for a dreamer/lcb resculpt with a lcb closer to the nightmare edition.

I... why do the Death Marshalls have flaming skulls? I mean, if nothing else, where are their bandanas covering their mouthes? And why is one dancing on his casket? I really don't like the new DMs at all. I think when Gencon comes around, I'll just order a couple of the old sculpts and a Lady J. I already have a Judge, though getting the new one as an Exorcist might be good.

I was refering to his bent raised leg. It looks like he's about to do the can-can on a casket. The billowing coat doesn't help either.

Quick note: the proportions in malifaux have often being weird, particularly the heights. Now I find it weird that most wargames have all people be the same height, but Malifaux is much weirder because of how often the women just TOWER over the men. With Lady J's crew it kind of makes sense, making her more of a hulking behemoth; but why does colette tower over the death marshals? I really like the plastic sculpts for how they seem more sensible, with tiny limbs and heads (by comparison to other ridiculous wargames).

Lady J is a big offender in that department - she's literally a full head or more taller than just about every other model, and that's not a fluff thing - she's described as tall but not like 7 feet tall.

Looks like we aren't the only ones who don't like the flaming heads:EricJ, on Twitter posted:Just because the sky has fallen, and I need to put it back up...Flaming heads might just be optional, and represent an active upgrade #maybe

Yeah, the reaction on the main board (and RPG.net) was mostly negative, too. I wonder if far too ridiculous poses for table play will be customizable as well.

She's a kid, she just saw all the miner's wearing them and thought it was cool. ITS A STYLE DAD, GAWD! I've always thought of Colette's crew as super models of the day, so massively tall+heels.

Not just on twitter, Eric is all over the internet! This is from his blog, ericjgames.comericjgames posted:Ulix is a Gremlin master that will be a part of Malifaux’s second edition. He’s all about pigs, rides them, herds them, hunts them, and fills his crew with them. He also has a few characteristics like a pig herding dog, he walks with a limp, and carries hunting tools. Totally on theme for Gremlins and fits right in! Right? What more needs to be said?

Wait, is Hoffman Avatar a medium or large base? If thats a large... sweet Jesus, I would hate to see the Nightmare model.

Summary: If you don't like new models, use old ones. If you don't like old models, use new ones. If you don't like either, nothing's changed Found on Twitter about the retooling of the models. Wisdom

If you don't like either, nothing's changed The old models are presumably going out of print though, once they get replaced. At some point you won't have a choice of which to use. I am not too worried about it because I like both styles in general, and there's only a few old models that are outright too stupid for me to use.

Additionally there's always Ebay. Maybe not quite so easy as 3rd edition Chaos Marines, but Im sure there will always be a couple of the older versions kicking around
