[QUOTE="Holy Bovine, post: 241924, member: 203"] Actually if they go with a similar paint scheme to the current Mage Knight and Heroclix line you could easily get away with a little touch up here and there and some light highlighting. Surprisingly the paint jobs are not a bad as everyone led me to believe (IMHO, of course ;) ). Although since my FLGS started selling metal Mage Knight figures at 1/2 price I've been buying those as fast as they hit the bin! BTW has anyone read Mote Cook's [URL=http://www.montecook.com/lineos.html]take[/URL] on the news? Overall I think he hit on some key points - that WotC really doesn't seem to know what to do with a 'good' product. The hit and miss quality of the D&D line, to me, indicates a confused management that seems to think along the lines of 'OK well, that book didn't sell like mad so change the layout/artists/writers/focus of this book and maybe it will be the next 1000000+ seller!'. I am glad that the core books are out and everything I want to buy for the next 6 months or so is being produced by 3rd party companies. WotC just seems a little disorganized in their 'vision' of what they want from the D&D line. Maybe they can straighten themselves out and get back to printing stuff like the Forgotten Realms CS - like the Realms or not that is a damn good product! [/QUOTE]
