Studio McVey Have Their Own Take on the Good Samaritan
June 5, 2012 by dracs
Studio McVey have a new and rather different take on the good Samaritan with this preview of a new mini which will be joining Sedition wars, the Samaritan Lancer.
This brilliantly painted little mini has been previewed on the Studio McVey blog and will be arriving to the field armed with an Azriel class fusion lance, a weapon with the equivalent power of a controlled solar flare.

I really like the armour, the pose and the unhelmeted head but the gun looks plain weird. Designing scifi guns is always challenge as they have to resemble the original concept a little bit to make them recognizable. The fluff paints it to be a sort radiation gun or high-end flamer, depending how you interpret the text, but in my mind it looks more like a I tool than an actual weapon that shoots something. Apart from the ‘gun’, I loving it.
Well it does have a flamer-style fuel tank underneath – it’s very Aliens in feel actually, though it’s at an angle compared to the tanks in that film so the lines of the gun flow better. Is it that rail above the barrel throwing you off? It does make the gun look like a big power loader claw at first glance, but you could probably cut it off. I do agree the mini looks gorgeous though, loving the sleek armour.
Althought most of sculpt and pose are great I am not fan of that gun that looks like it come streight from bad 90’s comic book art by Rob Liefield.
If you haven’t seen the gameplay preview videos yet they are well worth a look.
very impressed with what I saw.
The weapon does look a tad clunky, bit not sure if that is a bad thing.
If it looked like a GW plasma gun we would complain it was a rip off lol
I think the upper protrusion is off putting as weel. But a simple snip to length of taste can sort that out.
That gun looks a little to chunky for my liking but good figure.
I personally love the style of the weapon, quite unconventional which is great!
The armour almost looks a little Mass Effect, doesn’t it?
