Wait, it's on sale? I thought they just brought out a render they had and added snakes.

Also, if you paint the model, you have to convert the tears into snakes. Add tiny greenstuff snake heads, and all that.

Paint the cloth as a french flag while you're at it.

EDIT:

I bet it's Doralys, the virgin oracle, one of the rewards (I guess) for pledging in their second/recent/whatever Kickstarter that collected something to the tune of 800K

Sorry I come from a warhammer background where its expected that you spend two hours per day painting tiny mans and glueing miniature grass on their base. It didn't occur to me that a lot of wargame players don't even own a brush.

What the gently caress.

Also reminded me that when I went to a FLGS in London, they were having a Warmahordes tournament and they were honestly some of the best painted armies I'd seen in person.

Granted most armies I've seen have been 10-13 year old's 40k stuff in my local GW.

It's quite odd - the Warmahoards guys at Firestorm are All painted - some amazingly, some frankly quite bad but they look ok on the table,
The Infinity guys. it's Mostly unpainted (I'm painting and basing mine, but not there yet) - and half of them are happy that way.

I still think a house-rule of (for 40k) Prefered Enemy:Unpainted, or something similar for other games would be good as a base (to be ignored for new people etc as appropriate)

I enjoyed painting infinity, and I think it's relatively easy to make them look really good due to the sculpt quality. That said true scale can be terrifying if you aren't accustomed to it.

Hey, they aren't stick figures with unrealistic proportions. They just have impossible hip-waist ratios! Plus, hello, in ancient times women used to dress sexy in celebration all the time... why do you think thongs were invented? All the pinups want to be there, you can tell because of their passive postures and expressions. Just look at the dragon pinup: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/a8/fd/fc/a8fdfcfd169f89f9c7053fa349175db8.jpg

Yes, those were some of the excuses I've seen for them. I mean, at least be honest and say you are buying them to wank off to.

Casting limitation? Or maybe that's how thick they think paint will go on, so it needs that much definition to stand out at the end.

tears should probably be just painted on. And in any case, I think they took an existing model render and did the best they could in hammer iron while hot conditions.

My first true scale minis were for Aetherium, and yeah, it's a pretty sizeable paradigm shift. Your first thought is always, "My GODS! They're so tiny and spindly!" But once you get the hang of it, I think the end results are pretty :krad:

She's doing the inward knees-thing on her toes. You can see a hint of heel on the right leg.

Speaking of plastic ladies, the female Bolt is seriously...smaller? finer? than male Bolts. like, she's the same height, but wayyy thinner in every way. Doing Tron highlight on that is horrible.

She also has a helmet that allows for free flow of hair for some reason. Probably to annoy me.

Berries That Burn
I don't have time or money for minis, but one thing I've always wanted to do was a squad themed after the Solo "Jazz" cup design.



I feel like Eldar or Tyranids would work well with a mainly white color scheme, but having the actual Jazz design turned into a banner decal would work nice for any faction.

Then I'd have to make a rival faction with uh, I dunno a Pepsi logo theme/banner? No, wait, KFC COLOR SCHEME TYRANIDS WITH A CARNIFEX HIDING INSIDE A CHICKEN BUCKET

edit: actually you could make an ally squad with the Jazz guys using Mighty Ducks color and decals. Charlotte Hornets purple/teal color scheme matches too. You could probably keep going with a few more similar color schemes and have a whole white/purple/blue 90s pop culture army and each squad has its own logos and :words:

... Wow blast from the past.

I was like 'jesus christ, pierzak, not again'. But then it turns out that was from 100 pages ago.

So I was going to post a Tau army based on imperial japan, just to make a point that no one would get except me, and then I found this:


from here: http://www.urbanwarthegame.com/store.php?sitemap_id=131&subprodcat=19

This is femalgaze as gently caress:
http://www.urbanwarthegame.com/store.php?sitemap_id=56&subprodcat=10
(also malegaze, and that's my new term I hate the most of any term I've ever heard)

The range is a goldmine! Post your unfavorites. I like the helium balloon underboob on the first mini in the first faction under Blisters.

Also, kind of fun, I bought a couple of winged ladies from the VASA a while ago from my (now defunct) LGS:
http://www.urbanwarthegame.com/store.php?sitemap_id=58&subprodcat=12
Because I was going to use them as the base for a Necromunda Spyrer conversion (Yelds). But never knew what line/company they came from. So I learned something today :v:

Edit: Quick note, IMO, these guys are both awesome and terrible at the same time, as befits the thread. So I'm not saying 'look at how poo poo this is'. It's charmingly awkward.

Urban Mammoth as seen of Scotia Grendel is horribly 90s, and I've posted about it.

I too now hate male gaze and female gaze. Thanks, muffet,

Anyways, dunno how much you can complain about nekkid biodroids (basically the only UM minis sold on ebay, just like Blood Vestal titty daemonettes are the only painted Raging Heroes examples on google) since men are no less and even more naked (no need to cover chests). However, I'd expect them to be painted white, grey or slightly purple, to carry the biodroid theme home.

The real Anroid offender is this golden age motherfucker:



Coming to fight Detective Comic's Bat-man next week!



Now this is more like it, with a head that's waaay too big!



Take that, both GW and Corvus Belli!



At what point does underboob become just boob?



However, I could see these guys in Necromunda.



These guys want to don the blue/black and bash in some hive ganger skulls!



Hey, what the gently caress?

Also, according to the description, it constantly gives birth



Servo skulls with legs!





Just NO!



Comming from the racist triad range (triads are Chinese mafia, but the range looks Japanese as gently caress), it's the dragon fly



I dislike the tension lines on chests because it makes it look like the boobs are trying to get away from each other and the shirt is barely holding it.



WHATS WRONG WITH YOUR NEEECCK



the whole VASA range is crazy, since a third of it is ladie with naked limbs and cyborg wings. There's also a retarded, overgrown ABC warrior.



Neo-Iskandrians want to be IG even harder and they have the best female sniper.

However, this website is poo poo because it doesn't have Titus IV Scorpio

I love how major segments of half their models are from late 90s GW figures, chopped up, greenstuffed into a new sculpt, and then cast to a mold.

Like the head on the boob snake's staff. I don't remember what it's from, but I swear that's a GW chunk. Same with the stabbing arms on the womb-monster.
