Maybe is time?

While I get your point, I think the fact there are silos for this is the point for them. Whole reason they exist is for this. They are there for just such things. Yeah, it can be a pain sometimes, but I don’t think enough to want changes. Yet.

 

They are here to solve the doubts when a small part protrudes. Not when there are models nearly TWICE as tall as the official silhouette template, or regularly a full head over the limit.

 

I get that. But is it the Silos that need to change or the rules for that figure need to change? I think the Silo size on the profile should change. Not the Silos themselves. Unfortunately that changes the base on some of them too.

 

Ideally, Corvus should abide by their own rules and make the models silhouette-compliant.

Continously failing to do so leads to the idea that S2 should be made taller, while Guardian models should possibly be described as S5 instead of a S4 with models as tall as current S2 (aside from the neat freaks like me who make conversions to actually respect the sizes).

 

Also better make sure you are checking all the time in case someone is shooting you (in their turn) from total cover (in your turn)

 

But you know, something something proxy amazing we love Corvus

 

Well, humans, robots, there are only a few things that are cylinder. Thin models, crouching models, they all are off from the cylinder silhouette. Do you think every model has to be the same body style and pose the same “attention pose” to make them "silhouette-compliant"?

 

Rescaling is quite easy, man... you can make a model 10% smaller, keep the cool pose, and suddenly it's Silhouette compliant.

OR, make the silhouettes taller to accomodate the lazy idea that bigger is better, so the prices can go up since the base material is "expensive" and the models use more and more.

 

has there been anything else matching the Maghriba's silhouette yet?

Because that's stupid as hell. There should not, ever be a silhouette that only one single item uses.

 

I hoped the "vehicles" for N5 would go there, yet we got flying bikes (that I was asking for when Tunguska's transformer bike was teased...).

At least they felt no need to make a new official silhouette for the Megalodron when the non-competitive mission was published. Imagine having rules for a silhouette only a one time KS, all-in/25 bucks model would use...
