My my my, it reminds me waking up in the damp winter chill at the sound of the four linked 20 mm canon in the woods. Anyway, nice thing, hope they'll improve their resin for it's always a pain un-warping the parts, ouch. My titan was painfully long to prepare, alas.

Nice! I always wondered why Warhammer and Forgeworld figures, accessories, and vehicles are always so squat or somewhat unproportional. Is it so that they can fit inside the height of the gamebox? Any ideas?

The figures are suat looking because historically, the proportions of the fantasy figures were made to be more "heroic" for the barbarian conan types. When GW started their Sci Fi game, they continued with those proportions.

Also, there are casting issues with having true proportioned humans at this scale. Many small scale WW2 figures are equally odd in proportion.

check out this comparing the 1/48 scale tamiya plastics with 28mm wargame ones. Don't be drinking coffee now
