Black Scorpion: Chaos team

Post by Vusfnuv »

Didn't see such topic. BS added chaos team to their range:

Pros:
it looks good and doesn't require assembling (I hate assembling, but I like to paint, is that strange?)
price is very affordable
lots of beastmen
mino available
Cons:
only two chaos warrior? come on! They failed with the roster again :(

I like the beastmen a lot, but the warriors aren't blood bowl enough for my tastes. Nice crisp sculpts & good price though.

I quite like that. The warriors look pretty easy to convert a little for a bit more vaiety.

They're doing alright are Black Scorpion. Maybe not the nicest of models ever produced but still very nice work, very affordable, and they're growing quite a decent range.

Like the beastmen - I've seen better, but I've seen a lot worse.
Don't like the CW at all - very generic, not enough differences between them (and that's ignoring the "only 2 sculpts" point).

I'd be happy to pick up the beasties at some point.

The beastmen are very nice.
The warriors are very bad.
They have narrow shoulders (under the shoulder pads) wide hips and big barrel chested body.
The look like fat girls cosplaying as Chaos Warriors.

I believe "pear-shaped" is the terminology associated with the Warriors' shape. WTF is with Black Scorpion and cloaks? No business on the field!

Chaos warriors look cool but beastmen look too regimented in their poses for me

I do like the Beastmen, but the Warriors aren`t my taste. To me they look like converted Highelves from the same manufacturer range. A little more variety would`ve helped the BM though.

while not in the same league as willys, these arn't bad. mean to say, for the price, you could get a chaos team on the board, on the cheep. not everyone has the funds for $120 teams...
