In the Clerics_w._Maces section we have 4b Bearded Cleric Attacking with Mace which is not correct. That's an axe he's carrying so probably not a cleric candidate in the traditional D&D sense. Also that figure has a different descriptive text now, and it was wrongly identified as M1004b when it is the resculpted version of this: C1502e. I've fixed this in the Metal Magic pages today.

I agree that it is an axe... and I'm moving it to the axe section, but instead of changing the descriptor at this time, I've put all four images up there for comparison (first two are MM, second two Mega): Human_Clerics_&_Robed_Cultists#Clerics_w._Axes. Here's where the catalog pics come in handy. Let's call these four pics 1,2,3,4 for convenience. Just so you and I agree, here's what I see: 1 was the original, it was reserviced with the title 2 (may have been resculpted here), but the pic of 2 seems to be part of the Barbarian line still - and should go in your pics for that group. 3 is a resculpt, but whether or not it was redone by JO or by Mega is debatable. 4 is Mega's greyscale of 3, which should stand as the resculpt greyscale image. So far, we haven't got a good greyscale image of 1. I'm thinking the product code and descriptor got messed up with a translation, and omission of the M100 numbers (perhaps when it was coded to the grouping the coder wanted to keep it short). It probably got in this Topical Gallery by me trusting the word descriptor when I copied code from the MM page it originally came from. I didn't do the coding on this one, since my Metal Magic code comes from the two catalogs available from dndlead.com.
As for the descriptive text... it should be the original text from JO (from the M100 Barbarians group) as primary... and until we determine where the resculpt happened, (or did it just get a new C1502e product code?), we can't definitively label "original" and "resculpt" in the code. If Mega resculpted this, do we have Lauck's product code for that - it should go on the pic page as per your new format? I would like to compare the two sculpts, to make sure we're labelling them properly and not mixing them up - they should be listed in the galleries side by side. Until we sort this out (or until you persuade me!) I'd like to leave the four pics in here, so please don't delete. For now, I'm listing 1 as original, 2 and 3 as resculpt?, and 4 as resculpt.
I don't restrict myself to playing D&D (and in fact I prefer other systems), so clerics with axes are just fine with me - hence why the clerics in here have listings for other weapons as well. Also, Admin's preference in here is for greyscale pics, so the greyscale pic should be in the galleries and the color versions as Alts, unless there is no good greyscale image available. Have you deleted the original page this fig was galleried on?--Mysticat 20:11, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
