I think the suggested rules for the most part strike a good balance between consistency and creativity. That said I do think there’s a few points that needed clarification, most of which have already been addressed.
My question is around the use of extra torso pieces. I’ve seen a couple of comments asking about that and so far I don’t think they’ve been addressed.
Meme builds are obviously not ok, but I’ve been working on a Bomonga (based roughly on the rule suggestions from the previous thread) that uses torsos as shoulder pieces. I’m really happy with how it’s turning out and I think it looks pretty consistent with the Hagah and metru builds overall:
For reference here’s a comparison against Iruini

The shoulders are obviously bulkier, but I’ve made him a little shorter to compensate (still taller than whenua).
Would this sort of thing be acceptable as an entry? I’d also be keen to hear opinions around the metallic armour placement (I tried to make him feel like he had a gold ‘core’)
