The HMG being right handed, looking down the sites, recreating the pose of the original Shang Ji. All of my chef kisses.
They had better look good since they had 11 years to work on them! Edit: Sorry, that was petty of me. However, they look fantastic. And since it's only 3 I should be able to afford them! :)
I'd expect an RRP of €38 (Wu Ming, Hollowmen) and €40 (Nyoka, Rodok) because Shang-Ji does have higher complexity and a similar total bulk bulk, but the Tinbot as fourth miniature would drag both down a twinge. I'd be surprised if more than that, but there's a possibility I'm overestimating the price. Yu Jing tinbot is a bit goofy with its running, but it works well enough and the HMG pose looks like it would accomodate the tinbot about as well as Tai Sheng does. That's a small tip, btw, I hate having to track too many tokens and markers on my figurines, so I just stuck the Tinbot on Tai Sheng's base and it actually looks quite decent and adds a bunch of visual distinction from the other Zuyong. There's very little reason to treat this as a marker or state as neither N3 nor N4 rules would ever require nor allow the Tinbot to leave the unit's ownership.
Yes, as Comms Equipment they can be disabled if their owner becomes Isolated. New Shang Ji look great. The last few YJ releases have all been stuff I already have so I'm excited to get new stuff to paint.
I could lop the HMG off my old Daofei and replace the gun on the MR model so I could paint a Shang Jisus for each sectorial...
One thing was bugging me and i figured it out. The sword on the HRL. It looks strange to me on the HRL. I'm hoping I can switch with the MR.
I'll consider a handswap with Wu Ming LSG but probably abandon the idea out of sheer laziness and the fact that I think the sword looks cool as hell.
