LF old and current Warrior model comparison
Seriously, google is full of TW:WH2 pictures but I failed twice finding an image of an old (6th Ed) warrior beside a “new” (8th Ed) one.
To see if they mix or not, and if I need some bits from the new box whether I would want to use the rest of it or order only the bits instead.
Can anyone help?

Re: LF old and current Warrior model comparison
Sorry I only have the old version. The new ones from memory are all one piece - I don't think they are overly compatible with each other.

They only need to be optically compatible.
I see no problem cutting off a head or ten if the rest looks well.

Re: LF old and current Warrior model comparison
I have both and they aren't very compatible. The 6th edition ones are a tad smaller in scale, and their style is quite different.
If I find the time, I'll try to get a picture of two of them side by side.

Re: LF old and current Warrior model comparison
This would be great! Thanks in advance.
It would help judging which parts are responsible for the difference in styles.

Re: LF old and current Warrior model comparison
Actually I did the head cutting and put a 6th edition head on the new model and it looked really nice! However you have to similate the spear + shield mono stance with the 6th edition models
Edit: if you place the new models in the last ranks and the old one in front, I think it can look good when modellled correctly.

Re: LF old and current Warrior model comparison
Ah, great!
Pics? ^^
Tbh, I never built my old warriors. Crossbowmen, corsairs, slaves counting as warriors incl. some handlers, yes, but never the original models as-sold. Which means that there would be every freedom I need to position them according to the new ones.

I am in Indonesia until March, so no comparison picture until then.

Re: LF old and current Warrior model comparison
Thank you, this pic should be quite helpful already!
(Even if I’d still appreciate a comparison picture sooner or later.)

Re: LF old and current Warrior model comparison
I took a couple of pictures of two different warriors. Hope this is what you were asking for.

Re: LF old and current Warrior model comparison
Indeed it is. Thank you very much!
I was expecting the old warrior’s trunk holding hand to look much more clumsy compared to the new one.
On the other hand, I didn’t expect the height to differ that much.

Re: LF old and current Warrior model comparison
Ah, another question.
I’ve ordered the new warriors, but I need know now: How thick is the pole of their spears? I’d guess about 1.5 mm, or is it slightly less?

Re: LF old and current Warrior model comparison
To my eye it is at least 1.5mm in diameter. And probably just is exactly that. Not smaller, in any case.
