>>8076395>No glyos compatibility means less parts swapping, less out of the box customization You are overplaying this. I haven't seen many glyos compatible parts that have made me say “I wish ML were scaled to be compatible with this instead”. ML can use weapons, accesories and horses from other 6-7” lines and more importantly they are still compatible with themselves.
>Playsets and fuckhuge scaled creatures never everThat's how scales work. Bigger scale with greater detail versus smaller scale with greater scope. 1/48 scale allows for armies, siege weapons, colossal dragons... but that doesn't make it better than 1/18, it makes it for different things.
1/12 scale makes a group of regular figures and an ogre look quite impressive by themselves. A different level of zoom.
Also this is just one anecdotical case, but it seems that Mythic Legions horses are going to be warhorse-sized while HACKS horses are a bit on the small side for their 1/18 riders. And it's Mythic Legions the line that has ogres and trolls.
>figures would have been cheaper, -especially- when it comes to including larger sized figures and items. [...] ogre sized figure [...]. A horse would be a third cheaper. A troll $50 instead of $100. [...] dragons and forts [...]Figures would have been a bit cheaper... and quite smaller.
A 1/18 troll would not become half as expensive as 1/12 without a more efficient design (I agree with rancoranon that trolls are way too expensive and they could have saved on articulation by removing joints that have almost no range). A horse would not be a third cheaper (a HACKS horse with saddle costs about as much as a Mythic Legions horse with saddle, and yes, I'm aware that the HACKS horse has a few articulation points over the ML, as well as probably worse paint).
It seems you just like 1/18 more than you like 1/12 and that's fine, but each scale has its strengths. No need to hate a line for choosing one or the other.
