Valkia is quite nice, but the scale seems off. The shield and spear seem far too large, while the wings look a bit too small. There's no balance or elegance in the design. Festus and his mini army - how many figures are there? Which is the focus of attention? Do we really have to have that much Nordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16939206270751544079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1002050630888911554.post-76478074628930196812012-11-08T11:16:41.620+00:002012-11-08T11:16:41.620+00:00Completely agree regarding the plastics, not keen ...Completely agree regarding the plastics, not keen on the warshrine especially, but surprised regarding your comments regarding the characters:<br /><br />Scyla looks like he's falling over but I think Valkia is a good model, and Festus is the first model since I've been back playing (and attempting to paint) that I would buy just because I think it's a fantastic, characterful model.Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08079548259413732498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1002050630888911554.post-19501674187474443252012-11-07T22:45:23.419+00:002012-11-07T22:45:23.419+00:00I am not one of those that think that all the old ...I am not one of those that think that all the old sculpts were great while the newer ones are rubbish. Quite the opposite in fact. I own quite a few of the old metal chaos champions, they were leaders in their time, but they do suffer in comparison to much that is available today. There's a lot of good stuff still available from GW, IMO the plastic warriors, marauder horse, knights, etc are Nordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16939206270751544079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1002050630888911554.post-67213108988079334642012-11-07T19:15:07.254+00:002012-11-07T19:15:07.254+00:00A moment ago I closed the Stuff of Legends pages f...A moment ago I closed the Stuff of Legends pages from 80's catalog and I was shocked how cool the toys were back in the day. Even the miniatures were smaller, the atmosphere around the minis was something that the new sculpts will never accomplish with the new GW sculpts.
