    I saw the Holy Grail in London and King Arthur was Asian ( Uk usage) and it was a bloody good show didn't ruin either my childhood or the original. But that wasn't the craziest thing they'd done they'd even had an Australian play him, mmmmaaaddddness. I also saw one with swearing Muppets, absolute genius and didn't ruin my childhood.

    Now I come to think of it they really can't the nationality right on any of the British heroes. Robin Hood is either a Yank or an Aussie, William Wallace an alcoholic anti-Semitic Aussie and Richard the Lionheart a F***ing Scotsman (and a straight one at that). I also fairly sure they've never had a Welshman play King Arthur.
    Saint George was Palestinian, of Greek and Roman heritage, so go figure.

    He apparently was but who played in the film (if any). Also St Patrick wasn't Irish and St Andrew wasn't Scotish. St David was Welsh. I haven't seen them portrayed in any films either.


    I'm sure Hollywood could f**k it up though.

It is greatly sculptured (I would not call it beautiful... i think its hideous but thats personal preference) but this is just almost impossible to paint. This combined with the price will make this a very rare model which is baffling seeing how sales was/is GW biggest problem with warhammer fantasy and now age of sigmar

    doesn't look that difficult to me, also she is quite large (esp when compared to the dryads) ill be buying her if not to make a dark-alarrielle then to convert into my necron empress.

    Eh... I wouldn't complain she's "impossible to paint." I'd just say that they did their Kitchen Sink thing with her, and put too much unnecessary junk on the model to say, "Look, detail!" Not hard to paint that junk, but I'd rather vastly improve the looks of an overpriced model with a Dremel tool. And when you're paying that much, having to fix it shouldn't be a thing.

    But hey, if you're a fan of garbage thrown on a model just to claim it's more detailed, go for it. It's your money.
