Honestly, I think they could and maybe eventually should go further - adopting a 10/ 15/ 20/ 25/ 35/ 50/ 75/ 100/ 125/ 150 structure would streamline crew building so much. But hey, only an idea. :)pulpcitizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10827978428130531133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341589131708835949.post-18469741229773062822015-04-05T07:41:02.220-07:002015-04-05T07:41:02.220-07:00Good to see them both painted up so nicely.

It...I'll give the washes and highlighting a go. It's definitely the gloves that are bugging me, so maybe that will do it.<br /><br />I take your point about the points. I don't see why they aren't rounded to the nearest five points. It seems to obstruct some otherwise interesting builds, whilst any sense of restricting certain combinations of models seems daft in the face of rules like Corrupt which allow massive crossovers of capability.<br /><br />I also suspect you're right about Robin. He was one of the first models from when there were only four factions and the Batman crew just had Batman, Robin and Cops (oh, and Bane and Freeze). He needed to be a bit of a jack of all trades. Damian, who came later, is much better in an elite Batman crew.<br /><br />Thanks again for the mini.Kieronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17826758937461068243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341589131708835949.post-56857554474342023842015-04-05T04:07:38.498-07:002015-04-05T04:07:38.498-07:00Great to see the mini painted, well done sir. :)
...Great to see the mini painted, well done sir. :)<br /><br />Since you ask for thoughts, what about an extra wash around the ridges /depressions on the gloves to add some more definition, maybe with some fine brighter highlights?<br /><br />Nonetheless, great to see both painted.<br /><br />As for your rules assessment of Robin, I suspect his rules were conceived when the game had not become the success it has. Henchmen dependency is built into the game, and a lot of models it seems, which is great for those who like that kind of thing, but does make it harder to play elite stuff I guess, especially if you as a player lose some utility that way.<br /><br />And don't get me started on the fairly arbitrary weird Rep costs that don't slot together well (Watchmen excluded, who underline my point) and why is funding used to cover some stuff (ranged weapons) but not others (close combat weapons....)....<br />pulpcitizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10827978428130531133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341589131708835949.post-76468086735960305942015-04-05T04:04:33.839-07:002015-04-05T04:04:33.839-07:00Great posting Kieron, and I especially like your e...Great posting Kieron, and I especially like your explanations as to how you plan on using Alfred and Robin. I don't play "Batman" myself but do an awful lot of super-hero BatReps, so am interested in how other rules allocate them their powers. I like your painting on both models and don;t see any particular problem with your Robin. I happen to think you've done a good job with him (and Pennyworth) :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.com
