\nAfter picking up some<\/a> pigs<\/a>\u00a0last year, I figured I ought to go all in with the pig controller and summoner, Ulix.<\/p>\n
\"Ulix\"<\/a>

Ulix is a bit of a tricky model. \u00a0He has three connection points to the base (foot, peg, and cane), but only one is big enough to pin. \u00a0As a game piece, he’s a ton of fun. \u00a0When Hunting Bow goes off well, it can be truly amazing. \u00a0I haven’t done well with his summoning upgrade, though. \u00a0I find I spend far too many resources summoning models that then have a hard time getting into the game.<\/p>\n

\"Old<\/a>

I figured Old Major ought to be an old-timer, so I gave him some\u00a0liver spots. \u00a0I’m not convinced it works, though, versus having measles. \u00a0In game, he makes the pigs far more controllable. \u00a0I wish that pigs could choose not to charge other pigs, rather than being illegal targets. \u00a0I often want to charge myself for extra movement, and then relent\/cheat into irrelevant damage results.<\/p>\n

\"Penelope\"<\/a>

I think I went too soft on the highlights for Penelope. \u00a0In the photo it looks okay, but in person it’s kind of just a black mass.<\/p>\n
