Heh, truth be told I just wanted to stir the pot more than anything but honestly, I still don\'t like them.
To me they are a bit \'bland\', though as pointed out above, an artist (notice the word ... artist) can turn one of these into something rather spectacular ... but then again, they can do that for a lump of greenstuff too.
The average painter, and some above average, just don\'t seem to do anything with these that \'grab me\'. Clean lines, yes, and now that its been mentioned, I have a figure that I don\'t mind dunking over and over while trying out NMM for the first time (picked some up in a bitz box) but overall .... they just don\'t do it for me.
Now, that being said, it doesn\'t have to be so detailed that I\'m wowed by it, just something that looks interesting. Of course, interest and beauty are in the eye of the beholder. I personally love critters, creatures, monsters, orks and the whole like like that. I know there has to be people that hate the buggers though.
But to me, they have personality where as the Space Marines (the joe-blow fellow, not the biggun\'s) just don\'t.
While I\'m at it, and since its been brought up, what do the rest of you think about the new Space Marines vers. the old ones? Some seem to be ranting and raving while others are a solid \'meh on them.
\'meh ....
