How did it get past the quality control checks? Does QC even exist?
That model doesn't compare to the now heading towards OOP Commissars and is smacked out of the park by the basic Rogue Trader era ones.

In a calmly manner can I ask why?
ReplyDeleteI personally like him. The sword is meh, but better than the original photo made it out to be. Im a fan personally.
I do like most of the commissars, but yea what is actually wrong with him?
It's not the sword design - it looks like a more individual weapon that a Commissar would have rather than mass produced.
DeleteIts not the cap - the original Yarrick had a more over the top design.
Its not the uniform - other Commissars have the 19th C Hussar look.
Its not the plasma pistol (chain looks clunky though).
It is some unquantifiable reason where the whole...to me...just looks wrong.
Its individually subjective. What tickles some, leaves others cold.
For example, I like the sword but the dislike the model as a whole. You like the model but aren't too excited about the sword.
Yea just wondering.
DeleteI think it might have t do with the fact that the guy looks 60. An old grumpy stern man who clearly has survived many conflicts. Most of the commissars have looked 40 ish and have that bulky strong look. It seems like they took it a different direction.
Also im fairly sure he has had more than one plasma pistol during his years. The robotic arm makes me think he didnt pray to his gun hard enough.
I can't say that I'm a fan of the model (the one with the riding crop firing the bolt pistol is the best), but I wouldn't say it was a total shipwreck. They clearly lifted the peaked cap off some of the older models, but I'm not a fan of the oversized ones. Agree on the sword. I think the worst thing is the awful pose. It looks like the perpendicular version of someone who's just slipped on some ice.
ReplyDeleteSee I like riding crop Commissar because he looks like he's executing his own side rather than fighting enemies of the Imperium.
DeleteWho knows, when I actually see the new one rather than photos, I could change my mind but for now...
I think you are all missing something.
ReplyDeleteNow what would that model look like with a Praetorian head swap...
I can't wait to get one!
^ How did we miss this...
DeleteYou're obsessed man, let it go!
DeleteOoh wait a minute....
Haha! Watch this space for him with a pith helmet.
DeleteYou guys crack me up! ^_^
Delete(I really need to get a squad of Praetorians....)
DeleteI rather suspect it would look like a Praetorian officer who's slipped on the ice.
