WHATS THE MODEL?

Mercenary Rutger Shaw, a war machine character



PRICE?

About £6



WHATS THE THINKING THEN?


Its a metal model which i bought on a whim. its ok i guess...

right. thats not any good is it?

what we have here is a Warmachine model, metal. part cowboy, part mad max. (but more cowboy)

he has a sword and a pistol in a holster.  big coat, goggles. its a nice sculpt and makes a change from GW as its in true scale.

ADDITION: now i have actually started painting the chap i must admit the level of detail is pretty impressive. and it took GW skull white spray very well indeed.

6 GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS MODEL:

1. nice sculpt
2. fits in with IG at a push- would make a nice senior officer or sly marbo proxy
3. its not GW
4. the fact the pistol is holstered means it could be anything
5. would also make a nice Necromunda ganger
6. he looks fucking badass with a side order of ass kick.

6 SHIT THINGS ABOUT THIS MODEL

1. you cant use it at GW shops if they are eagled eyed
2. no real price saving on GW products
3. base is shit- warmachine bases are not my favourite
4. it can't talk
5. lots of packaging
6. gay "card" with his stats on

LONG STORY SHORT...
worth a go if you want to paint something different. i only bought it on a whim and i might never actually use it for anything more than painting. but he looks good next to my Nork Deddog so who knows...


WORD.
"WAAAAGH! VROOM VROOM!!! DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA! Dead gud innit yoof?!" - typical Mekboy sales pitch
