Re: Suggestions for the C3V
Yes, details matter at any size. Good gameplay is always relevant. Good aesthetics are always relevant.
You don't have to agree, of course, and I do understand that if we use something crappy long...

Re: Suggestions for the C3V
Your ideas for it are interesting, but the miniature itself is, let's say, "aesthetically challenged." For me anyway, the combination of poorly fitting parts, garish colors, and extra-sloppy painting...

Re: Suggestions for the C3V Design Team
Looks like the answer is "no." According to Safari Ltd.'s website, the "toob" is 10.34 inches tall. That makes these soldiers about 2.25" - 2.5" tall. I've seen several other Toobs in person, and...

Re: Suggestions for the C3V Design Team
One downside of grabbing some boxed set and making units for every miniature in it is that once you get down to the bottom of the barrel you're stuck with using the worst sculpts. On their own, some...

What are my options? ;)

I don't have a particular aversion to those elves, but I will stand up for those who do because there's a principle here that's worthy of discussion.
The fact that we now have obvious Star Wars...

In the ballpark, perhaps, but I wouldn't say perfect. The LOTR figures are definitely taller overall. It's especially noticeable with the Elves. I bought some a few years ago for customs-making, and...

He fits with a little bit of toe/heel overhang. There's also some tail denial, but it can perhaps be minimized with good placement. I'll try to upload a picture when I can find the camera.

Re: Suggestions for the C3V Design Team
I always thought Aquilla's flagbearer should be a dwarf, or at least a non-human. This is an area where I'd rather wait for a great fit than take pot luck.

I sure hope the C3V team will never knowingly design an individual figure that costs $18 plus shipping plus rebasing costs. That price is bad enough, but then a year or two later when the mini is out...
