the new 'cheesy' Lokhir Fellheart?

Post by **Kinslayer** » Mon Jun 09, 2008 6:04 pm

im suprised i havent noticed this yet, but doesnt anyone else find it a bit cheesy that this guy is a pirate, with a squids face, what does he ride a black arc called the pearl? :roll:

lame joke i know, but this screams Davy Jones to me

Definitely looks a bit out of place. I personally don't like this whole squid theme they're forcing upon the Corsairs.

exactly, perhaps GW would have been better off giving mr squidface to the zombie pirates and leaving the dark elf corsairs as druchiifaces or whatever

i will have to wait til i see the model myself or at least a better picture than the tiny spearhead shot, but im seriesly unimpressed so far by the idea

Ya definitely, because the first ever pirate with a squid theme was Pirates of the Caribean... GrrrRAWWWR

I'll leave it up to how the model looks and the fluff.

i will want to see the model close up before i judge it, i did say its just the idea that unimpressed me. POTC is the first squidfaced pirate i know about

Yep he's def Cheesy!!! Has anyone got a decent pic though?? Apart from the spearhead pic.

hmm.. i've been pretty unimpressed with the idea right from the start. The concept of a corsair special character is great, but so far the squid theme and the spearhead pic don't impress me.

Putting the squid theme to one side for a moment (I agree that it is a pretty poor rendition of an otherwise good idea...), as a character it is a good move by GW. His rules are good, he is relatively inexpensive imo and he has decent rules.

I think he will be used quite a lot as he offers the opportunity to capitalise on the raider theme.

Post by **Kinslayer** » Mon Jun 09, 2008 7:23 pm

im not doubting his effectiveness in game or how often he will be used, im doubting his chance at winning a warhammer beauty contest

but seriously DA i do know what your saying i just hope you see the point im trying to get across

Just give him a Corsair head then.

we don't know if his head will be a seperate piece or just part of the body and, in the second case, how hard it will be to cut it off

Well, it's not always easy.

Jewelers saw anyone. Personally I like the look and I think it would be all in how you paint him.

I think he's cool. If you don't like Pirates of the Caribean, associate it with Call of Cthulhu. I do that and like it hehe.

Post by **Dark Alliance** » Mon Jun 09, 2008 7:38 pm

I agree that the squid theme is well dodgy btw. Thought I already said that...

No one · Post by **No one** » Mon Jun 09, 2008 7:46 pm

i didn't say i don't like it i just don't like the way GW managed to f*cking screw up a great idea (again) *calms down* i really liked the idea when i first heard of it but now i've seen the model... naa aaaah! (ok might be becouse of the picture being pretty bad).

so i really like the idea just not the model as far as i've seen him

dont get me wrong, i love pirates of the carribean, never said otherwise. Along with lord of the rings its one of my favorite series of film

Yeah I dont like it either... and actually I dont like the new corsair look that much either - it doesn't really fit with the whole "clean and flowy" druchii style i think...

Expand your mythos!

I'm looking forward to "squid face" as I'm a massive Lovecraft fan.

Deep-Ones working with Druchii? <3

Yeah, to be perfectly honest, I just don't tend to associate the squid aesthetic I've seen so far to POTC. Cthulu and Lovecraft comes to mind first, which is probably why it doesn't bother me much.

We can't expect the fleshy world mortals to have yet unlocked the dark secrets of our cyclopean Elder Gods. Their world still clenches to its thin veil of sanity. On Walpurgis night, let the cool hands of the Star Touched evils drown the world and reawaken He Who Dwells Beneath the Sea. Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!

Drain you of your sanity!
Face the squid that should not be!

I quite like the squid theme, shame we cant get a decent look at the model.

I like the squid theme too.......maybe some black ark corsairs have met a big kraken and they were impressed by such a powerful creature.

About Lokhir I still think he looks like a scarecrow :roll:

and about his rules....ranking and persue could be (are?) useful I guess

but I never play with special characters...

Same here. Amongst my gaming group, there's generally a bit of a stigma against the use special characters, as your honor (and manhood) suddenly come into question if you do.

Sea Dragon would have been a bit more manly than Squid... but hey, at least he doesn't have a whale face, or shrimp, or even a big lobster claw coming out of his forehead.

I'll wait to see the Lokhir Zoidberg model up close to determine if I like it or not
