For me it's a combination of several factors:I still think the paint job is a large part of their issue. It's too Terracota. I prefer the Forgeworld paint scheme.
- Ugly helmet. Looks goofy, and not in a good way.
- Ugly arms. The power fist versions are stubby and lack wrists. The phosphor blaster versions are sort of round, rather than just being hugely impressive cannon.
- Fat ankles. They look like they'd hit each other and go 'BONG!' every time the thing moved.
- Lack of detail. Where are the pistons? The cogs and gears and pipes and cables? Yes, I get they're supposed to be under armour plating. Shame that plating is boring to look at. I like the Mechanicum's 'expose the innards' aesthetic.
- That stupid, ridiculous helmet.
- No rivets. I mean, seriously, [url=http://www.lounge.belloflostsouls.net/showthread.php?44720-Scratchbuilding-a-Heavy-Bolter-with-Plasticard-A-Beginner-s-Guide]I know I can add them[/url], but I shouldn't have to.
- That ugly, ugly helmet.
- Flamer canister out the side at 90 degrees. Why? It looks like a Faberge egg stuck on the side.
- Seriously: WHY THAT STUPID BLOODY HELMET?!!
It's just a cavalcade of awful. I don't like anything about it, and I was so ready to.
So ready.

I'm defo getting a box or two, mainly because DAKKA, and I want to see what poses can be achieved.
Going full on dakkadakkadakka, I'm hoping the arms can be modelled in a more attacking stance, to suggest a relentless hail of firepower as it stomps forwards, perhaps with each weapon angled to be shooting different targets, get across that it's only humanoid shaped?
As for the guns? They remind me of ED-209, so I think I've twigged why I like them now, because ED-209 rocks!Fed up for Scalpers? https://www.facebook.com/groups/1710575492567307/?ref=bookmarks
