Same for me! Lot of repacks from other fractions are quite okayisch modelwise but Nomads are getting quite ugly repack miniatures. Maybe it's a new single blister with a sniper - I looked and coudn't find the Sniper in the store.
The Hacker Spektr looks nice to me, but the Sniper looks weird... I don't think that using the knee that way really helps when aiming :p The Sniper Spektr might be the only model where I miss a tactical-something.
The company really should consider retiring some of the things that they are repacking. I don't think anyone will be buying old Spektrs after they have been redesigned. Yes, but not for a loooooooooooong time.
The repackage seems to indicate they will not be redesigned, especially since the icestorm one is almost identical to the old ones.
Yeah, but if the Repack were to be the Nomad's Starter Spektr and the shotgun model, then it would be great. Also, an idea I've been spinning around my head is about swappable arms: change the knife arm of the "starter spektr" model for an "hacking hand" and you get a lot of happy people with a minimal cost. And of course, retiring the old models.
I'm going to use the Grenzer Sniper arm on the Boarding Shotgun Spektr I think, see how that goes. I have to say Spektrs are not at the top of my Nomad wishlist so I'm not particularly bothered. When I convert the Sniper I'll have all I really need, a female would be nice but oh well.
New Irmandinho that's really surprising. I got high hopes. The old ones look terrible the one with ccw has probably one of the strangest poses I've ever seen on a model. I'm curious if they'll keep the diver aesthetic. It looks like he has an oxygen pipe at the top of the pic. I'd kinda like some of the diver aspects dropped a bit unless they plan on giving them aquatic terrain on the profile. I also hope these new ones looked jacked to show that insane phys 14.
Casevac duties... It's as hard to carry and unconscious Yuan Yuan as Achilles! Meaning TAG or Baggage bots are the only ways XD
And maybe it is something New for Aristeia? See how the packs next to the screwdrivers are poorly detailed. Almost as in PVC minis. EDIT: Next to the wrench i mean.
Plus the Aristeia stuff is designed with as much detail as the infinity stuff, looking at the LE metals. It's just the final material that gets rid of some of the sharp detail.
Consider that the sniper shots in colored material are plastic prototypes for how the dissassembled models come back together, and I think at a bigger scale than normal.
Still i think those packs look way below standard detailed of CB. Look at Ariadna's pouches for example.
As someone who does digital sculpting I can say that it's not that the sculpt is poorly detailed but that the picture is poorly rendered. It's not being rendered in the same typical orange resin that they usually are (for whatever reason) and the picture is significantly poorer resolution than usual. It's also weirdly lit and taking away some of the shadows that should show from those details. The wrench is a case in point: you can clearly see the edges at the bottom where the sharp corner causes a nice shadow but then the middle seems really shallow cus of poor lighting contrast.
