There's a difference between dynamic for the sake of being dynamic(the pistols with spitfire/ML) and the dynamics that can tell a story. The Nisse are the latter. Put the Hacker, HMG, and Sniper altogether and you'll see what I mean.
She's a Size 7... Big girl. That smaller silhouette would be incredibly playable, though it's also really nice to have the full ARM8. That heavy ARM value is pretty shocking to opponents. An enemy working hard to sneak a missile shot into the Cutter, only to have the Cutter still rolling dominant saves, is fantastic.
You're probably alone on the HMG there. THe new one is terrible. Now the Old 3 Nisse, those are gorgeous.
I'am afraid I'am agree!! :D The old nisses are amazing. I'am in love with the Snipper. The new ones are "meh", perhaps the "nisse hacker" are good, but not so good as the olders. :D
I prefer the new HMG to the old if I'm honest, but I prefer the old Spitfire to the new one. Still, it's a MULTI HMG, so should look different from the infantry weapon (and the Uhlan and Tikbalang versions).
I don't like the old sculpts, they look like they are made of plasticine. I like the new sculpts, like MSR Nisse, I just don't like the poses, especially the HMG. Hacker is kinda ok. HMG looks like he's frightened of something. I was looking forward to these two sculpts, and was a bit disappointed. I'm not mad at you CB, just disappointed. Now go to your room.
You and I may be alone on this, but I absolutely love the new Nisse HMG. His sculpt has a ton of character in it. I think a lot of the dislike for it seems more from disliking the story - that a Nisse has been surprised by something - than from disliking the actual dynamism of the pose. I think the pose tells its story so well that I can't help but love it.
So I think the upshot of all this chat is, plenty of us love the old Cutter but we all agree that there will be a new one coming sometime after Varuna drops in November.
Consider all the other older TAGs for Pano got rescuplted, I'd say its pretty safe to assume the Cutter will get a rescuplt as well. What are nisses? *sarcasm (been playing sectorial Pano for too long)
If they manage to improve upon it, and not just make a new one for the sake of it, I'm fine with it. Please, just no tactical rocks, crap or poncho and no "angry fist" stance are all I ask for. :D If it fails to live up to this, it'll just go into my "ignore it and hope it goes away list" since at the moment, you can't improve on its perfection.
^^^Thumbs up for calling out the silliness of the tactical poncho. What's next, CB? Frickin' opera cloaks? Nisse HMG is in the classic, "Oh noes, my MSV has been porn-hacked" pose, first seen on The ORC trooper in the starter box. It's a fine mini, the Nisse. Sniper is meh. Hacker suffices. A cutter resculpt seems unlikely anytime soon.
Resculpt? I may be missing the timeline (like I have no idea when was what released), but the Squalo, Jotum have the old HMG-s, the Dragoes doesn't have an HMG, but looks similar to those, and existed for a long time. So the only new sculpts are the Seraph, Uhlan, Tikbalang (new HMG/Spitfire on these), they are not resculpts, just new sculpts, with no earlier minis existing. The only real old thing is the Armored cavalry, the ultra derp in TAG form, and maybe the Cutter, which is oddly looks good. They all have the same HMG as the newer sculpts of S7. While the multi rifle orc has really similar pose to the HMG Nisse, it looks a lot less derp. HMG Nisse is just fucking scared. Dude shoots better than half the game, has an HMG, still afraid of something. Odd.
