This Warhammer 40k McFarlane line has accomplished something very rare for me. They made me deep dive into a new lore. Now I’m reading the novels loving the new universe I found.

It's worth noting that the artist proof version does not have any of the Blood Angel iconography (like the sculpted left shoulder emblem), which is great because it allows you to paint it in any Chapter colours you please. I don't mind the basic paint job on the Sister. It will just act as a base coat for all the additional painting I wiill do to it. Now that McFarlane has done Intercessors, Assault, and HellBlaster marines, hopefully they will make some new molds, like Eradicators and Reivers. And a Genestealer would make a good Xenos armybuilder.

So for anyone who isn't familiar with Warhammer 40k: Space Marines are super soldiers in power armor(like Captain America but way more extreme since the process used on them gives them extra organs), Sisters of Battle are just normal human women in power armor(they are also warrior nuns).

@gez91453 жыл бұрын

@ToyBro3 жыл бұрын
It's a helpful point of articulation, point blank. It keeps figures from having their legs locked in a neutral up and down pose, kick the legs out a little bit more and help with dynamic posing. Almost every figure has something there, so it's odd to not have it in so many figures from McFarlane.
@unagisauce3 жыл бұрын
Try getting into any stance but keeping your knees 100% straight forward. Pretty unnatural, right? Now you understand how much articulation your body gets from the thigh.
@gez91453 жыл бұрын
@@unagisauce Yeah but that rotation actually comes mostly from the hip. That's why hip ball joints are preferable. I'm all for additional articulation but thigh cuts are ugly - there's a reason why you don't see them much on the best modern figures, unless they're cleverly worked into the sculpt or hidden.
@unagisauce3 жыл бұрын
@@gez9145 A ball joint at the hip can only turn so far because it runs into the piece holding it. Personally, I prefer the way Figuarts does their Shinkocchou Seihou line with the hidden thigh cuts near the hips. Regardless of how it’s implemented though, that’s what reviewers are talking about. Thigh rotation = thigh swivel.
