November Chapterhouse 40k Releases - Knight Pads, Ammo Belts and Cyclonic Missile Rac

[Deadlift]

Agreed. Whilst I don't agree with CHS ripping off GW stuff, perhaps we could stop using their posts to slag them off all the time? I really don't see what it accomplishes. They make quite clear what their posts are in the title, if you don't like their stuff just stay away from the thread. This negativity doesn't do anything other than make BoLS more like Whineseer and I'm sure that is not something that anybody wants to happen.

I don't know if its all whining, some of the comments could be seen as constructive criticism. I for one like the idea of an alternative cyclone launcher, but these are just not my taste.

I don't think they fit the aesthetic of terminator armour.

I've not seen anything in this thread which could be classed as that. If people want to post a 'I think that would be better if...' posts I'm down with that, I just don't see what the 'that looks pants/more rip off stuff' posts achieve. I'm not trying to shut down discussion, I just feel there are enough 'Chapterhouse are great/Chapterhouse are rip-off' merchants threads out there and I think these sort of comments should be kept to there rather than people just coming on here and telling them they suck. Like I said, that's the sort of stuff I feel belongs on forums other than BoLS.

Fair enough
I am not keen on most of CHS stuff, I really don't feel the sculpt quality is there and when adding their parts to GW models, they for me detract rather than add to the mini. The cyclone is just an example and I find the sculpt just a little "wonky" in comparison to alternatives. Iron dog studios did / do an alternative which I prefer.
However I do like the CHS version of the conversion beamer. But these just dont do it for me.

See, that is constructive criticism and the expression of a subjective personal view without being a negative and pointless attack. That's what I'm talking about!

Making out like it's hard to get a cyclone missile launcher when you get one in the box for the unit which can have them is pretty silly, was my point.

[Wildeybeast]

That is also a good point.

There are situations where you end up with the models but not the bits.

Say you get the models in trade, or buy them online? Say you bought Dark Vengeance or Black Reach? What if your model with the cyclonics is lost, stolen, or broken. Sorry - you're screwed. Go buy a $40 box or spend $20 on the Internet for just the one bit...

It's a shame GW stopped selling individual bitz like they used to, it's without doubt left a gap in the market.

Buying the box gives you additional models, to add variety.

I know. I do that when I can. But for those of us on a budget, that's sometimes a high cost.
