AFAIK, they don't have a proper 'eavy metal team any more. But instead employ a hobby team, who paints the models using the GW painting system, in ways that "the masses" find achieveable.
My main problem with the basic troupe, are the bland and poor poses. With all this new 3d technology they play with, those are the most dynamic poses they can come up with?
I have to agree with you there, the poses are somewhat "lacking" in dynamics, and given that they have been produced in Plastic colour have been so much more fluid and impressive.
As Harelequins are Dancers and Performers it would have made some sense to me to consider using ballet/modern dance or even Parkour photos as a reference. Or was that just too much to expect?
In any case I had a look at the two White Dwarf's today that contain photos of the Harlequins.
Oh Crap! How Bad!
Thick lumpy paint, masking tape bleeds.......be embarrassed GW, be embarrassed!
Now they've irritated me so much with this P.P.P..,that I ended up buying a Solitaire to work on, just to prove that it can be done.
(Yes I am aware of how twisted my psychology is)
As for the sisters of battle releases, i am in the Raging Heroes camp aswell.
