I find that the classic models have more a statuesque pose, most likely due to technical limitations but I really much prefer this look, as well. When the arms and weapons are held out in the poses, it's much simpler to clip and customize them and the READABILITY and cohesiveness of your entire army looks so much better when you have a whole unit of guys. The problem I have with the modern range of WH stuff is how almost every unit is in some dynamic heroic pose, jumping through air, tiptoeing on a spent shell casing etc. and this makes your army look like a group of collectible figurines.

It also sucks when you want to paint your minis and half your guys hold their guns across their chest so fully painting them becomes much, much harder unless you do some fancy assembly acrobatics.

Couldn't agree more. A marine standing alert with a weapon is potential for imagination in the game. A marine firing a grapple hook or throwing a grenade on one foot is just that only. Digital sculpting will only make the models look like a computer game come to life.
@hideshisface18863 жыл бұрын
That also depends on model, there are some older models that have better poses than modern ones. Good example are daemonettes - modern daemonettes are insanely static in their poses - pretty much all just... standing there with pincers up, they look clunky and fail to convey this strange elegance typically associated with them. Newer models featuring daemonettes largely rectify this, like infernal enrapturess, or contorted epitome, but still, the troops stand out here, not in a good way, especially when compared to classic ones. For some armies, very dynamic poses make sense, like Slaaneshi demons, or certain Eldar troops. Others, like Necrons or certain Guard regiments work very well with more static poses.

If I'm generalizing, I'll say I like retro models more than modern. Modern models tend to get too busy. The retro hand-sculpted look is one that I find endearing. Retro sculpts also usually lend themselves to bright color schemes which I'm partial to. Realistically, though, modern and classic both have a place on my shelf. They're both great.

One thing to talk about after seeing the St. Celestine example - many new models are OVERsculpted. I'm painting them right now for a friend and it turns out sub assembly is almost a necessity and the rest of breaking them is real just while handling normally. Half-hidden detail on them is also incredibly annoying since it's just visible enough to need painting but hidden away enough to risk making mistakes. Let's not even talk about the in-between dark days of Finecast XD Honestly I can't see many newer gamers preferring the old stuff (nostalgia is a hell of a drug), but with GW's current pricing it's actually cheaper to try and buy old models quite often - especially in Australia!

You made an excellent point talking about Hand Sculpting vs Digital. The toolset is different, but the mindset, the process is all still the same. Regardless of which method you prefer, you still have to conceptualize, design, construct, add material, remove material. Its all the same. Digital just streamlines the process, it doesn't need as much space, you dont need tons of materials taking up space, you can undo and zoom in to add insane amounts of detail. I personally prefer hand scultping, I just love the feel of actual clay. However if I were to ever sculpt professionally, I'd go digital.

What I like about old hand-sculpted minis (not just limited to GW) is that you can see a lot of the personality of the sculptor in them. In the case of a lot of Reaper minis, for instance, you can see which ones were made by who, and even roughly in what period of time. What I like about a lot of the new digitally sculpted models (especially GW, but the sculpts for Oathmark/Frostgrave/Stargrave have this too) is that they all have very much the same style. Stormcast Eternals and Chaos Warriors look different, but they have a same visual style. I doubt they were designed by the same sculptor, but they both follow the same art direction, which makes them look good when staring eachother down on the battlefield. You can see that they belong to the same game, whereas older hand-sculpted models don't always nicely match the same style.

There were also technical limitations when it came to old-school models. The limitations of mold engineering meant a lot of models were restricted to fairly two-dimensional poses. Multi-part plastic meant that the limit was theoretically obsolete, but it still took a while for the sculptors and engineers to discover the freedom the new technology offered. The new issue is that some sculpts go too far in the other direction and become too dynamic, which reduces the interchangeable nature of parts. In a sense, we've done a 360 and come back to mono-pose models.

I once bought second-hand plastic Eldar Dire Avengers from troll trader and no more. The person, who sold it there superglued unpainted model together and it was a nightmare to put it apart and impossible in few cases without breaking some parts of it. For those unfamiliar with Dire Avengers, it is one of those models that have weapons in front of the belly so you cannot paint the front of the model with the weapon in place. I bought 2 groups of five and half of them were with the wrong bases, (the superglued ones had 30mm instead of 25mm) so I had to remove them from bases. (All those destroyed feet I had to remodel...) By the way, this is not the fault of Troll Trader, they are an awesome place to buy second-hand models. I guess that person, who superglued it sold it there, because they probably could not paint it without breaking it apart and considered selling it there and buying new ones easier than breaking it apart and repairing it. And those superglued models were in discount at the Troll Trader, I now can guess why... From then I buy new plastic models only when I can buy them not-assembled. But since I buy mainly second-hand models, I started to prefer older one-part metallic models, which are much more durable and you do not need to take them apart to paint them.

Storm troopers are better than the kasrkin that are better than scions.

I tend to mix old and new models for my games. The size creep of Warhammer 40k tend to give a variety of size and look that make it look like an army of different persons.

My favorite of the older metal minis are the "famous familiars" from Citadel-GW. They have no real rules anymore, but they're cool quirky little characters, half the height of a regular troop mini. Three personal highlights are the little homunculus on stilts, the moon headed guy with a can opener, and the hooded dude with carrying a pile of scrolls. No suggested paint schemes or army color guides, just paint whatever colors feel good that day. It's a tiny magical fiend, how can you go wrong? I think the old metals had a good balance of details without getting too "busy" with bling, and there are fewer areas hidden by layers of accessories. That said, the old metal Nagash was a freaking joke. We used to call him Silly-Hat-Nagash.

New plastics every week? More Space Marines every week, more like it.

One of my biggest beefs with the new models is the size. I liked the 25/28mm size. Everything keeps getting bigger. A dread looked imposing next to old infantry, but there are so many now that are so much bigger than they used to be that the table scale seems to have shrunk. Now excuse me, I have to go shake my fist at a cloud.

IMO older more "down to earth" minis were so much more enjoyable. I was really into this hobby during fb 6th edition so minis from that era holds a special place in my heart.

Depends how you define better but for me the 90's metals are iconic
