>be huge multi-billion dollar company>own Starcraft IP>decide to make a miniatures game on the phenomenal success of GW games and IP over the past 10 years>cheap out on sculpting so all the miniatures exactly like toys and are the quality of stuff GW or PP would have released 15 years agoCan someone explain this?
>>97959948They look fine tho????Honestly like they look perfectly serviceable, idk your standards are probably too high
>>97959948It's Blizzard, dude. Their customers are still paying for World of Gay Dragons in Wheelchaircraft in 2026. Some of them actually pay extra to REMOVE expansions and revert the game to what it was twenty fucking years ago. These are consoomers with literally, not figuratively, no standards beyond "is it the Brand™ I know and love?"tl;dr there is no reason for them to put in effort when the success or failure of the line has nothing to do with quality
>>97959971The zerg are the only ones I think look decent. The terrans look awful. I honestly think they intend for people to be OK not painting these, hence them coming in coloured and translucent plastic. Sort of like BB teams/Underworlds warbands.
>>97959948Are those hard plastic, do they come on sprues?Or are they pvc plastic board game tier slop
>>97960624They're hard plastic on sprues. About 1/3 of the sprues and bits are translucent, like all the visors and cloaked units and energy and shit.
>>97960646Detail looks a little soft but that could just be the camera
>>97960016Dude I honestly think your standards are just crazy highThey look perfectly passable and represent what they're supposed to besides just idk not having any battle damage or grit on them?If that's your complaint carve it on yourself, they look like terran marines to me :/
>>97960892Blizzardos favorite marketing method is ragebaiting their own customers because its a zombie company full of cluster B psycho millennials. They don't actually believe what they said they just want you to talk about it.
>>97961271Honestly wouldn't be surprised if this thread made for specifically that purpose or jewsdreidelshop running more marketing psyops"OUR MARINES ARE SO MUCH BETTER PLEASE DON'T BUY FROM ANY OTHER WAY CHEAPER MANUFACTORER!"
>>97959948>>97960016these look great
>>97960892Models are good, from a modelling pov.the terran designs are just bad, but that does not change the fact that the miniatures are well made.
>>97965858This, entirely thisthey represent the models they are supposed to mostly as they should
>>97965858>the terran designs are just badYou either love the generic hodgepodge of sci-fi memes or hate it I guess. It grew on me over time after getting sick of spaceknight hyperchurch gigamarines appearing in every single other game trying to poach 40k players as if that was its only appeal.
