Primach Thank you for the pictures. ?They are small. ?I guess the guy who scuplted them really did them in 6mm scale. ?

I'm sorry that the purchase was a dissapointment. ?We as consumers, will always have the lasy say by voting with our dollars. ?If the siege troops don't sell well hopefully they will ask questions why. ?

A real pity for the siege troops; they had such a cool background.

As proxies I would recommend the French tanks for WWII. ?Such as the Char B and the Renault. ?They both look like they fit the seige look very well. ?These pics are from the GHQ catalog. ?

Hi!

I agree with your proxy choices CC, many of these are exactly what I was thinking about when I thought of possible GHQ models.

Thanks for the pics!

And once I dog down some names, we should write them both about the desire for bitz and this issue as well.

Why leave them to figure it out. They may elect to blame us. "Dumb gamers didn't buy our great stuff."

Better to tell them our feelings and not leave any room for doubt or blame shifting.

Yeah, the only logic they understand is cold hard cash, and when that doesnt appear, they say, "Well , they dont want anything good.  We wont fix it, just shut it down.  That'll teach em to buy our stuff no matter how much it sucks."

:angry:

Hi!

Very true iblisdrax. GW has never ONCE gone back and "fix" a marketing error. If it fails its dead, they never "fess up" rectify.

So it really is "you buy it the way we tell you and like it"..... or get nothing....

GHQ does make great models and has a great site. ?However, since I collect G/W, S/G, F/W, I'll just buy one or two packs of each ... to round out my existing IG. Not looking for proxies ... I have too much Epic now ! ?With 9 Armies ! ? :D :;):

The problem that I have with the seigfried is that it is a bad model. ?The ones in the blister I bought at GDUK are all cast fine, its just the model itself. ?It just doesn't look right at all, the turret looks wrong, the hull is too tall, etc.

In comparison, the Brunnhilde model (which the seigfried is based on) is really nice. ?Nice detail, nice size, a really cool slaved servitor driver.

Hi!

I guess we should just buy Brunnhilde models then. Someone got a picture of it?

I am posting this as a seperate post because I want there to be focus on this. The item that bothers me the most is the poor castings, errors, and excesive flash. :(

The minis I have received both from this run of the regular epic and these are all looking like something that I would expect at the end of a mini's mold life.

One of the things I always said about GW in the past was "Well they cost more but look at the detail and quality."

Well now all I can say is "Wow you are right, they cost a lot and the quality sucks." :(

dafrca

I agree fully with dafrca.

I must admit that I am very disapointed in the GW metals of late. I recently started to by metals again after several years.

The poor fitting of the sponsons on the predator are a good example of poor casting ( I think), as is the amount of flash. Older models appear to have "sharper" detail.

Where possible, I will use proxys I think.
