I'm with T/S, C/S & Neal ! Purity Seals are just Wrong in Epic scale (and 40K for that matter) !!! I don't like the big Imp. Eagle either. I hated it on the Epic Thunderhawks, but didn't file it off. More trouble then it is worth !  I'll forward this thread to Jervis, not that it will do any good. But it's nice to let them know what the shrinking Epic community thinks.  To reinforce what Neal said about the buzz on the playtest board.

Hi!
That's a good idea, might as well let Jervis know beforehand and see if it can be changed.

I sent him a summary right after I posted above. He did reply, although some of it made no sense until just now when I found out what else he had seen.
The mouth gun is designed to be cut off if not wanted. Of course, the crowd around here would have no problem deciding that on their own. I think it's great that they intentionally put it into the design.
He noted that purity seals were originally created for titans. The 40K scale designers took the concept and ran with it, not the other way around. (I knew that and didn't understand why he had mentioned it until I read the above comment by Legion4.) I don't know if he missed the idea that it was just the sheer number that most people objected to.
He didn't comment on the hooves. I will hope that means it will be addressed.
He did note that his instruction to the sculptor was to make it "over the top, impractical looking, very Gothic, and and covered in lots of irrelevant surface detail." I think it succeeds in that respect.

Hi!
At least he's aware now, perhaps he can get the points mentioned accross and the model can be "fine tuned" a bit.

There is universal disapproval of the hooved feet, and almost universal about the purity seals.
Hopefully, that will have some weight.
Outside of that, though, there is enough dissent that I feel certain it will be left to the sculptor.

Can't help but thinking that it's a really smart idea for Fanatic to set up pics of the unfinished models. This way they can get a really good idea of what's hot and what's not without setting anything into production. We get models we like and Fanatic saves money redesigning unpopular miniatures before they are made expensive molds of. Very nice.
I can only agree with the general connsensus about the new warhound as I allready noted on the Playtesters forum.
Cheers

Who wants to bet we don't see a redesigned model, just a more complete one. I think the sneak peek is meant to whet people appetites, not be a public consultation for the model. Hopefully I'll be proved wrong.
