    Am I the only one who doesn't really like the Theta commanders under-bite style jaw? I personally feel it looks a tad bit too cartoon, even for PA's simplistic design. To be honest I enjoyed it's old head design, though it is just a nitpick.

    What do you think?

    Edit: Just so you guys I actually love the Theta's model I just don't like the jaw. :p

    Not so much a New Design as much as Concept -> In-game model;

    The Concept's upper-body and shoulders look like a giant wine barrel. There is more of a rounded shape than the Model's.

    The shoulders are also lower on the Concept.

    They had to change it to mak it fit the imperial skeleton. I really like what they managed to do given that limitation.

    If they got rid of the jaw and made it recessed, it would give it a more ghoul/intimidating look instead of it being a dunce look imo.

    He reminds me of the Iron Giant.

    I personally don't feel this is a nitpick at all. It shouldn't be a priority for uber to change- but I would like to see something done about it in the future.

    I'm pretty sure we had another thread which asked pretty much the same thing and the vast vast majority of people said they hated the jaw. Inbred jokel/senile old person anyone?

    The theta is a great model, apart from that bloody awful head. Why ruin such a good commander for the sake of redoing the head.

    You'll have to explain the Logic to that statement. Or more simply, Why does changing the head ruin the rest of the model?

    I don't know, it just sort of does. You get a glance of the commander; it looks awesome but you get a closer look and notice his head, the lower jaw protruding out giving him this stereotypical "dumb" look. Then you cannot unsee. D:

    Reminds me of Warhammer 40k Orc Warbosses, which is cool.

    I don't dislike it at all. And it's good to have choices. Only thing I would fix in the Theta Commander is the posture of the legs, to be more straight.

    They are both very cool looking, tho the old one looks like he`s big brother:) Like the exposed wire on the right arm

    i very much like the frankensteinish look of the model
    it gives it this "me theta ... me destroy you" touch
    while the concept is more straight " STOMP IT INTO OBLIVION !!!!" something the centurion gives me already ...

    I was wondering what you meant by saying that, are you saying you like one or the either; or just saying that's the change? :l

    Edit: Oops, sorry I thought you were Tatsujb.

    no, "this" on forums means : "what he said", "I agree"

    Well but, what are you agreeing on though, is what I mean.
