But yeah, they do look like nunchucks...

All this time... that does make much more sense... woops!!!!

Will they be badly dubbed?

Im most certainly not a big fan of the football pad Cadians. They really could use a few new poses (easily achieved by adding a few of the dudes from the heavy weapons kit), and generally look less like NFL players. Long live the Steel Legion guardsmen. Even though they're metal and have limited poses... I love greatcoated Guard.

the new zoenthropes(sp?) they look odd. a squiggile with a carapace head?

the humanoid one with the big brain heads make more sence to how the beast is written. ( i don't own a 'nid force but bought a couple of the old ones when i saw they were replaced, might get bugs one day.)

the squid head for the Keeper of Secrets

the metal possessed were probably the biggest pooper that was released by far though. (box with the big horn dude)

havent yet seen the new plastic possessed in hand (just made my own), but the pics look far better.

2) Space Marine Powerfists look ok on terminators, but on regular marines they look too big and leave the model unbalanced. Battle brothers with Powerfists look like Hermit Crabs with one giant hand. The IG Powerfist is more reasonable, it looks about the same size as Hellboy's similar weapon. I love the Powerfist in combat, but hate the look so much that I don't use them.

That is my two cents.[/QUOTE]

I've always felt that the reason the powerfist is so large is because it is no longer really a power weapon. Sure, it's still got batteries and blinky lights and all, but in reality it's just a three hundred pound chunk of metal. The pure weight and mass of the powerfist is what causes all the damage, (just try surviving a 300 lb club to the head,) and is also what slows the powerfist down.

"Witch Hunter Henchmen Dialogus"

It makes me shudder just looking at it. Ugliest model GW has ever produced, I could probably carve something better than that.
