Back to Warzone today for another unit of flying Imperial soldiers. The Imperial Barracudas are the new version of the old Rams Air Cavalry. When miniatures get updated or get re-done people's opinions can vary on whether the new version is an improvement or not, in this case there's not much of an issue. The old Rams Air Cav were one of the most maligned sculpts in Heartbreaker's range. The pilot was in a squatting pose with a look on his face that really sold the total image of someone struggling on the toilet. If that wasn't enough the rocket/jet pack was positioned like something that would crash Wil E Coyote into the side of a mountain.
As you can see the new version is dynamically posed and the equipment manages to hit a balance between fantastic and functional looking.
I've got one more unit to get done (Grey Ghosts) for my Warzone game at the end of the month and other than that my focus should (emphasis on 'should') be Pulp City for the next week or so.
