battle mechanik officer kicks ass!!

The warmongers are not new models. They've been repacked as a full unit now, instead of blisters

The new warmongers are plastic? Or just unit repacked? Khador fella is superb!

repacked metal.

I like the new mechaniks officer it's awesome, now i need to look up the rules! >.<

Nice one.

But look at his anatomy - especially at his arms. How is it possible that he has them so high? They seem to be on the level of his ears! And legs stand to widely.

Just my opinion.

battle mechanic is quite cool! Best release I've seen in months.

I think you should ask them about it

it's not a good idea to copy GW anatomy with arms sticking out from ears and heads sticking from chests

GW marines anatomy is...
But as Nameles said - it's not a good idea to copy their absolutely unnatural style. In fact it's not a style, it's a devastation of human anatomy.
For me - such anatomy mistakes are always sculpting mistakes that should be corrected.

Mechanik's concept, armour and weapon are very nice but becouse of anatomy problems he just cant be a good sculpt. Fo me, anatomy is one of the most important things while judging mini as a sculpt.

There's a fine balance between looking great and anatomic accuracy, all 28mm you collect today have a degree of lack of anatomic accuracy for the sake of minis looking cool ( and material stress)... In this case the cool factor is stronger than the accuracy but thats the point of PP from the get go.
