I'm not feeling very generous today either, and I think it's really bad form to come onto a post that's nearly a year old, crap all over someone else's hard work, and then hide behind the tired old saw of "that's just my opinion."<br /><br />I'll just point out to MrSandor that the Armorcast design was based on the original design for the Reaver Titan (seen at the links below), so if he has a problem with positioning of the head, shoulder guards, or leg design, he should really get in a time machine and take that up with Games Workshop and Armorcast's sculptors, not with the person for whom this was clearly a labor of love.

From looking at the comments above, its seems that well over 20 people seem to love the work, so I think we'll go with the majority on this one.
