Hello, I’m doing this thread in order to garner attention to this issue.
As you may have seen by now patch #17 added the tempestus scion chestpiece to the gamefiles. The problem is the model is looking considerably different from both the miniatures produced by Games Workshop and the JoyToy action figures.
Obviously we are not talking about the color, this brown color is merely a default color given to a few unreleased items. (The steel metal is also a template and can be changed to brass/gold etc with a simple click)
No we are obviously talking about the length and the shape of the cuirass as well as it being unconnected to the pelvis area, both on the front and the back. As well as the exposed hands, lacks of gloves and dataslates.
I will now adress the argument that “it simply cannot be done, that the tech just isn’t possibly there yet”
And I shall do so by comparing it to another cosmetic set ( Confessor-Resplendent Arlinna Durer).
A zealot set that was sold and will be sold again in the cosmetic store for 2400 aquilas, therefore a set, which according to Fatshark’s own words: have not “required a longer production cycle than usual”. As after all I believe it’s fair to remind you the Tempestus Scion set will cost 2900 aquilas.
Therefore you would expect considering its more expansive price that extra care had been given to it.
So how do they compare?
They are both based on miniatures from Games Workshop.
And here is the evidence that they are indeed able to model, rig and animate a metal cuirass to reach the pelvis.
As you can plainly see they were able to model and rig the cuirass on the zealot set to go as low as the pelvis area. There is simply no excuses as to why they are not doing the same for Tempestus Scion cuirass.
I believe we should complain about this, if Fatshark intend us to pay money for a “Tempestus Scion” set it should look as close as possible to the miniatures sold and manufactured by Games Workshop.
The set after all has yet to be put in store, if we are to complain it’s now. And it is not the set they intend to release tomorrow, as that spot is reserved for a few reskins that have been added with patch #17
It means they have two weeks at the least to contact whoever they contracted the cuirass to in the first place to fix it.
