I cant complain about the Fremen having Brass Knucles, it makes them one of the most efficient CC killers in the game.

I was thinking of cutting the Gunnery Sgt.'s Sword and glueing some jewelry chain on his hand, so he can wield a length of chain. :p

Honestly, the only mini in the entire line that I refused to touch was the old Brotherhood Elite Trooper Squad Leader.  That gigantic head and complete disregard for preportions turned me off entirely. 

I'll second you on that-that fig was abysmal and it's passing will not be mourned.

Though in a freakish manner he may be resurected in another figure. ( in the way of his poor old ugly self being sacrificed to the pewter gods by way of a 500 degree melting pot. ) THough his big melon does keep him afloat for about 2 secs before he is completely gone.

I like most of the models in Warzone. However, I do agree with the Rams Air Cav!

I used to think that the worst looking of the minis were things like the Brotherhood Mystic or the RAMS Air Cav (both of which are pretty bad looking figs)...but my opinions have changed slightly....

Now each of those figs are bad, but they are both really individuals (yes I know, the RAMS are a support choice, but I haven't fielded more than one YET...that will change, I am sure)...

Recently, I purchased some Hatamoto for my quickly expanding Mishima army, and I think that they have won out for me....once I finally looked at them, I noticed how blocky they were, as well as how big their heads are...

I can be patient regarding a resculpt for them though, as I would like to see a few things in the Mishima list as a first sculpt first..(Monks anyone?...please?...pretty please?...)

I understand what you mean about the blockiness and big helmets of the Hatamoto B.  But, I do think that it is by design.  They look as if they were modeled after the ancient samurai where their armor was as much a status symbol as it was practical.  The bigger and more ornate, the better the man that was wearing it.  I'm no expert in the Far East mind you, but I did take a class in it.

The Hat's are rather old models though and I am not completely sure it was by design. Anyway they do not look that nice in my opinion either.

It is not the highest priority for me, but I do think that resculpts should be done for older models when the time and resources are available. The models EE have sculpted and released may be few but in general I think they are pretty nice. So if they can resculpt some of the old stuff to modern standards it'll be great.

I totally agree...I'd rather get some of the things that have never been sculpted done first...

For example...I'd love to finally see the Stormtrenchers (I've heard that they have been sculpted, I'm excited), Mishima Monks, and the Typhoon Rocket Mortar...

The older things will do for now...they are just fun to make a little bit of fun about (ask Stalker about the Flying Crapper)...

But those Hatamoto, especially the HMG, are just awful...

Stormtrenchers would work well as the Elites of my Regulars/Trenchers Imperial army, I can't wait till they're out.

I have seen the Stormtrenchers.  They are beautiful, and are almost there (a few details left).  You will all be very happy with them.

Yes, I do believe that I have a finely painted collection of the constipation squadron.  ;)
