Have you sold off the lot that you have? If not you might convince me to take any archer figures you have....I'm happy to strip them myself. <br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />BlueBlue in VThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16420605978612894112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713233528414337607.post-76362945631344745672012-04-28T08:55:05.955-07:002012-04-28T08:55:05.955-07:00Yes exactly, you hit the nail on the head- Maraude...Yes exactly, you hit the nail on the head- Marauder marked the change from dynamic characters snapshots of fantasy to blocks of bland poses. Annoyingly Aly Morrison left the cartoony crazy characters like Judge Dredd perps and Talisman and Spearheaded the revolution that 'meh'ified the direction of the company.<br />Figures no longer told a story, but where just a face in the crowd.Delaney Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12648233464982438742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713233528414337607.post-69320147290995552582012-04-25T07:24:06.139-07:002012-04-25T07:24:06.139-07:00Hhaha...I too dislike Marauder Elves...those are o...Hhaha...I too dislike Marauder Elves...those are one range that I think really missed the mark from them. The Dwarfs and Greenskins though...dddrroolll<br /><br />If I can hypothesize here a moment I might guess that you don't like Marauder Miniatures ...and conversely why I do like them) because they were actually designed specifically for WFB...for use as units...they are some of the first figures that have complete regiments...and were sold as such...this is great for the WFB player...and not great for a more role playing focused individual...which I would suggest is more your bias (please correct me if I'm wrong). <br /><br />Even the earlier Citadel Imperial Dwarfs...while they often share common themes...do not really make great regimental figures...they are TOO individual...don't get me wrong I love them too but in a different way...they are perfect for Skulldred but not as good for WFB. I often think of myself as more of a UNIT collector rather than a FIGURE collector...Marauder Minis are perfect for my approach....it also helps that I like the style of course..:)Blue in VThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16420605978612894112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713233528414337607.post-73488147518459818882012-04-23T21:49:18.107-07:002012-04-23T21:49:18.107-07:00Thanks m'lord- but no, I dont collect Orks!

The giant, however, is rather good!<br /><br />Speaking of which (rummage, rummage) yes it appears I have a bucket load of Marauder elves destined for stripping and ebaying that arrived in a job lot.
