It would be a shame to have a unit with great gameplay that doesn't pass the visual test for part of the audience; that feels "shoehorned in." I understand that nothing is going to be perfect, but there are degrees of compromise, and there's the opportunity cost as well. Too much compromise can harm the perceived canonicity of VC. I'd hate to see that happen. Good traders: tdemirji, AbsintheAddict, Blubberguy22, Toa Matoro, SuperSamyon, Bl1ndsn1per, Ericth74,

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
To me they look sort of like... postmodern Marro. Somewhere between the pure organic, bio-engineered Marro from Classic and the ultimately cybernetic Havech.

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
Still the wrong colors, though; needs a major repainting effort. (And the other aspects are still wrong as well.)

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
I disagree about the Havechs. They seem pretty Marro to me. And if you want a Marro figure that really departs from what they're "supposed" to look like, just look at Tul-Bak-Ra.

Or Wo-Sa-Ga. She was the first Marro that wasn't humanoid. Even Tor-Kul-Na was just a giant Marro. The Marro race is all about genetic modification.

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
While I don't like this figure in general as a marro, I would concede the point that he could easily pass as one. The blue is very similar to that of the groks to me and because we don't have any idea what a grok really is (grok,marro, marrden). I will support this figure's review.

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
You know, come to think of it, he actually has a far bit in common with the Groks Sculpturally too (far more than he does with the proper Marro at least). He could certainly work as a Marro that's been engineered to replicate the Groks as Wo-Sa-Ga is engineered to replicate the Vipers.

I will agree that Tul-Bak-Ra was a big departure; that sculpt is an abomination against humanity. The jet engines on its back were not too big of a problem (Marro in general seem "born" with metal body parts), but his dainty little underwear-model pose is pretty goofy and man oh man, that lead milkmaid's bonnet — or is it the burlap headsack from the Scarecrow of Oz? — that's a serious contender for the title of biggest What-The-Hell in all of Heroscape. His gameplay's quite nice, though; it's just a shame his sculpt is so face-palmingly ridiculous. EDIT to catch up with other posts that ninjad me... Quote:

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion
I don't think he looks like a Marro, but luckily nobody cares what I think. I could live with the Wo-Sa-Ga/Grok explanation.
