So it isn't like GW doesn't know how to do dynamic poses, but for some reason choose not to for 40k.Joe Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580338400200714419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5660965914860481092.post-65818689803983389592010-02-22T16:39:45.854+00:002010-02-22T16:39:45.854+00:00No probs B, feel free to use whatever you like - t...No probs B, feel free to use whatever you like - this is a caring, sharing blog heheh!The Dark Templarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03051984305736707874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5660965914860481092.post-48958108303077335132010-02-22T14:40:10.742+00:002010-02-22T14:40:10.742+00:00I completely take your point about that BA srgt. H...I completely take your point about that BA srgt. He's entirely too flat-footed. And the Chaplain, in particular, has that exact same kind of "hand in the air, flat on the feet" look about them. I'd never been able to articulate what rubbed me the wrong way about these models until you pointed it out. <br /><br />p.s. I'd like to borrow/adapt your BA Red technique in a future post if you don't mind. I'll be sure to give credit and link it, naturally.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5660965914860481092.post-69057090445714867502010-02-22T06:41:45.437+00:002010-02-22T06:41:45.437+00:00Yes, we don't want a load of wannabe Harlequin...Yes, we don't want a load of wannabe Harlequins, but I'd like my models (or hero models at least) to look like their fighting with some conviction and passion, rather than passive observers.The Dark Templarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03051984305736707874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5660965914860481092.post-28443366489913748442010-02-21T20:05:41.249+00:002010-02-21T20:05:41.249+00:00I kind of agree/disagree.

I don't want a shelf of acrobats, but you're right some of the poses are awful (both static and dynamic).<br /><br />Of the examples you've given I mostly dislke all of them, though not always for the poses. The marines, for example, have so much bling these days that they're more comical than anything else (just look at that Salamander *yuk*).<br /><br />I like the manhunter and one of the Ultra masters (2nd from left), some of the examples are merely ok, the rest I dislike.<br /><br />As for the BA, when I first glimpsed it I thought it looked nice, but after 2-3 seconds I decided it looks like even more of a dwarf than the standard marines. Maybe it's the big head.Ferranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09919144359508578318noreply@blogger.com
