MaveriK Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I can't blame the artist/sculptor for this. He is entitled to his own interpretation. The person to blame is the individual who approved the release of the models. I kinda hope that pre-order and sales are low enough that FW will revisit the idea and redo the wolves some justice. Yea I know it's a hail mary shot with that hope but anything is possible if given the right opportunity. I hope they (FW/GW) listens to their customer base when it comes to these things.... if all else fails someone should just start up a new topic, posting their own Varagyr and Praetor with how-to tutorials to make yours better than FWs.

Jackalwolf Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Yes... my hobby mojo was killed by the first preview of these and it's not getting back at all the more they display them. The torso and legs together is terrible for me since the proportions are so badly done (as in most terminators but moreso in these) that every single mini would need significant conversion to be done. The fur is just... plain lazy. It should never have been approved, this is underwhelming sculpting. I can do far better fur and I'm an amateur, and dozens of third party companies sculpt better fur. Any darn fur ever sculpted by GW or FW is better than this. With the rest I can live but after waiting for 3-4 years this feels like a punch in the balls. That's the main reason I'm not posting anymore. My last hope is with the 40k release of SW. Hopefully GW will do some good 13th company non wulfen to come back with Russ in the new bigger size and that'll be me back.

Jackalwolf Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Hop something brings you back...Your Wolves were a real inspiration for me Grieux Thank you my friend but I've been seeing you're doing a stellar job of keeping the heresy Vlka flame going strong! Also, I'm not completely out since I'm still working on the Thunderhawk albeit much slower due to the aforementioned mojo loss.

I feel a bit weird since I always trusted FW and right now I'm feeling a bit let down and have GW as my only hope! And yes, can't wait for that book!

Dantay VI Posted February 7, 2018 Author Share Posted February 7, 2018 Varagyr heads are NOT sculpted to the torso's. Thanks God, I can put helmets on them :D Arms are one piece but hands swap-able. Torso/legs are one piece Sorry for necro-ing this. Spoke to someone over on fb who got the varagyr. Seems intel was wrong and heads are sculpted to the varagyr bodies. Boo...

Yoyo ninja Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Boo indeed. Let's just hope they see the error of their ways and re work the sculpts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf in the Shadows Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Have to agree regarding the heads although I'm hoping that the fur is due to how it was painted. The Grey Slayer upgrades look better however still didn't get that "take my money!!" feel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
