I think the Mortis Engine of the Vampire Counts may just be the worst miniature, or at least top 5

what part of it sells you on the model?

@YksiSuomalainen Ай бұрын

I disagree on this one. I think its a great looking model. The price is just insane.

@Forsaken.Wanderer Ай бұрын

Fair enough but yes the price is egregious. I saw a homebrew version where someone had stuck together a bunch of models on the base and painted them all ghostly-like, it looked pretty good and probably saved a lot of money.

You know you can remove any excess detail by just snipping it off?

Not sure where I come down on this particular mini. I will say that I have often *hated* a miniature (or even entire factions!) because the Studio picked a bad paint scheme. I think the wispy ethereal pastel-y palette they have chosen can look good, but not on a plain white background. It also looks less good when the miniature or composition is too busy visually. I'd like to see this one done with high-contrast blacks and saturated colours, like a Frank Franzetta illustration or a Dario Argento movie to really make up my mind.

I kind of like it, though. I think I could make it very funny

In what manner could you make it funny?

Those 90's era skeletons are awful tbh. I would say the entire Soulblight range is a massive improvement over the old Vampire counts models

@@Forsaken.Wanderer i like the old black coach. Had that classic goofy halloween vampire feel to it. The new one still looks better though, more detailed and dynamic. Fits the nighthaunt much better.

I look at the army in AoS, and I have no idea what anything is. It's the blue one that looks like a bomb went off in a glass factory right? Can't tell anything apart. It's visual noise. The entire army.

The CAD sculptor had a seizure and kept hitting ctrl+V over and over

@Forsaken.Wanderer Ай бұрын

Exactly, there is so much going on with every model that it's just a mess of jutting plastics and colors. I couldn't tell you what any of those wood elf stand ins are meant to be. I think with whatever this model is they put super glue on a brush and then rammed it into a bits box.

@Forsaken.Wanderer Ай бұрын

@@T0mm3n Before the seizure they had 10 different undead models open in separate CAD instances, afterwards there was only one large file.

intresign opinon; but i fell AoS vidbe is like that is more like full of magick evry were; if youu wahnt more army like go to Old wold style is for you

@Forsaken.Wanderer Ай бұрын

AOS is certainly very high fantasy. The problem with the Old World is that they are bringing in more minis that have a high fantasy look as well. The Mortis engine was originally a WFB unit.

@massqueraider 29 күн бұрын

Terrible take bro what. Sure its a mission to build but it's not even close to being the worst mini

@AspectPL Ай бұрын

That's true, but the ship has sailed a long time ago. I'm too young to know this old black coach miniature you've shown but it's definitely better than the new one in its vibe, pose and composition. I can't stand most of the AoS range.

@Forsaken.Wanderer Ай бұрын

You sadly missed out on much better times but there is a growing movement of people that are playing previous editions and seeking out the older models. There are very few AoS models I can stand also, I'd much rather the old gothic look over the overly cartoony look.
