Oh, there's another one on the other side. Also I didn't notice it before but now I can't unsee the huge globs (greenstuff? glue?) around the HK missile.

The worst part is, I know this is exactly the sort of horseshit I would have tried to pull off back in college.

lol $28,000 to have his army painted one level higher than the best job he got.

he didn't actually pay 28,000 dollars, that's just what it would cost if he chose to have his entire army (9k points of CD) painted up to 'level 7' by BTP

I think it was something like 14 bucks per dude in the infantry squads and $250 for the centerpiece monstrous creature stuff. That's what I remember from his thread on Dakka and the first vid is all.

keep in mind it's like 5-6 dollars for an infernal guard and they are not difficult models to paint at all.

That's insane. It's more than I charge for my services for what is my standard tabletop-ready level of painting.

Yeah, they're huge on getting their name out there. They're the only big domestic painting service that I know in the US. Everyone else is a single guy or couple operation. BTP seems to make their bread and butter by suckering people and operating out of a very pro-business state.

The sad thing, as with many similar models, is that the painting and the modelling are of high quality. The subject matter is just disturbingly lovely. It's like the notorious guardsmen-on-elder rape diorama. In fact, similar enough that I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same guy...

It's also like Kingdom Death. it's such a loving shame when people with talent like that make such dreck.

This is what pisses me off. I try my damnedest and still end up with googly eyes half the time and this guy is probably cranking out Thong Marines. It's like watching a guy with the lottery and spend it all on Chuck E Cheese tokens.

It's possible it could be done out of irony and that the guy harvests all the creepy replies and puts them in grogs.txt threads but that's a lot of ironic effort

lmao at comparing talent to the lottery. It's terrible subject matter but that skill was practiced and earned, not genetic.

Keep practicing. Those eyes will be less googly eventually.
