People always say that Super Clean will cause your fingers to look like they just opened the Ark of the Covenant or whatever, but I've never experienced anything like that, even without gloves. I wouldn't let my hand soak in it for a minute or anything like that, but how long do you really need to fish out your minis?

It basically does the same chemical process you use to convert fat into soap, so it will really gently caress with your hands sometimes. I guess depends on how oily your skin is.

Protip for aspiring paint strippers: Get two tupperware containers with lids, the kind that you can neatly nestle within one another and get a nice seal. Take a smallish (~2mm) drill bit and drill a shitlot of holes in the bottom of one tub. Put the minis in that, the whole thing in the intact tub, and pour in the superclean. Slap a lid on the whole thing, of course. Once your minis have soaked you can just take off the lid and gently lift the upper tub, and the holes in the bottom will neatly strain the superclean out. You won't even need to fish around for all the loose bits!

Some people are just more sensitive to it, and once you're sensitised you're gonna suffer from it every time you touch the stuff. The more contact you have with it the more likely you are to become allergic. I doubt it could saponify the fat in your fingertips from brief contact, and if it did you'd probably do more than post on SA. Re: gloves try where possible to use the nitrile/vinyl gloves rather than latex. Some chemical compounds can pass through latex (most notably resins)

I use isopropyl alcohol and Random Cheap Chinese Rubber gloves. No adverse effects so far, though the the fumes can be a little heavy. Plus, sometimes you need to double tap a mini - soak it, brush it, soak it again, brush it again, declare it "good enough"

You apply it with a brush and it just sits on the model until you rinse it off.

Nurgle conversions would probably be less popular if not for the T5 and FNP. Also: Games Workshop releases their texture tool as a stand alone product

That whole site is just a rabbit hole of bizarre figures. It's like the miniatures range that realistic proportions forgot. Some of his stuff isn't awful though. I'm assuming he got CAD at some point to design new sculpts.

Soulfucker posted:Goddamnit I hate nurgle Oh yeah. The rules attract power gamers, the fluff is unattractive any way you cut (and then 'Papa Nurgle' folks start coming out of the woodwork...) and half of the conversions look like turds. Tzeench and Slaanesh are the best and woefully underrepresented for the obvious reasons.

I always liked Khorne the most. I am a fan of classic depictions of demons, which blend human features with those of something that is not human (such as a goat, a bull, or a lizard). I think that Khorne is the closest, appearancewise, to classical demons, especially the bloodletters and bloodthirsters. It also helps that they look like they could appear in a Doom Wad. Nurgle is always the same loving thing; fat dudes and intestines. GW clearly never thought very hard about it. Most things shrivel up or break-down as they decay, and people who are diseased almost always, with almost no exceptions, look scrawny and starved. And even when dead bodies bloat, that only lasts for a short time. Nurgle is a total failure in its depiction of rot and disease. Nurgle poo poo doesnt look diseased, it just looks like fat dudes who need a shower and some dental care, AKA night-time walmart shoppers. Tzeentch has some neat ideas, but it just looks like a mess most of the time. Im all for chimeras and surreal poo poo, but T-Eazy doesn't click with me. Slam-ish tried way too hard to be the sex-demons. I would have liked the Slam-man way more if they went with something more like Hellraiser's sex-demon-things instead of ugly pink chicks with lobster hands and the giant goat-man. Like Nurgle, Slammo is a missed opportunity to me, because I would have liked it otherwise. That said, NoiseMarines are rad as gently caress and I love both the old versions with their guitars and the new versions with their dubstep-guns. That one motorcycle guy they had was cool too. Slam-Jam could be the coolest if the demons were as cool as their marines.

Nurgle has worked sometimes when they've incorporated more of the aspects of corruption, not to mention insects etc. But it was always meant to be rot, disease and corruption of the living rather than just death and decay. But yeah, they really missed a trick not having nearly skeletonised marines with their armour hanging off them and stuff. I've always thought Slaanesh works best when it's just excess. It's gluttony to the point of bursting. It's beauty to the point of surgeries that make you look like a frog. Or Joan Rivers. It's poopsocking because you can't stop playing your favourite game. For that matter, it's not buying your kids juice so that you can buy the latest jewel-like objects of wonder... It's... a goon a while back posted a story about a traditional game around Cinco de Mayo time I think where there's a kiss-cam type thing, but the person on camera is expected to flash, and if they don't, the crowd goes loving insane until they do. That's not telling it well, but the way it was told... that's Slaanesh. The sex demon bit is just tame, it's not thinking deeply enough about what being the corrupted god of pleasure, hedonism and excess should be.

Okay serious 40K question, why the hell would anyone worship Nurgle? Khorne fits warrior-types like a glove, Tzeentch offers power and knowledge, and Slaanesh is literally made of sex, drugs, and rock and roll, but Nurgle is the god of rot, disease, and basically everything unpleasant. I guess that's why he made Nurgle's Rot- he can't get many worshipers any other way.

Nurgle is comfort. Nurgle is acceptance. Nurgle is the abandonment of hope and of despair. Nurgle is meeting the inevitable and embracing it with the laughter of a cynic.
