SRM posted:Armorcast poo poo owns. They just upscaled Epic models without adding any detail and they're early 90s as gently caress. I remember seeing those Warhounds and Reavers at conventions every year from this one painting service and I always thought they were the coolest thing. They've got nothing on Forgeworld, detail-wise, but they're charmingly 90s. Yeah, those armorcast titans are basically

Nothing wrong with armorcast. It's a quality product. I think this guy is probably a fan.

I sold my Warhound a decade ago for strip club money, but the box is still in my collection. At the time, there was an arms race of epic proportions. I owned a Warhound, a Shadowsword, and a Baneblade. One buddy owned a pair of Warhounds and a Reaver. Another owned THREE of the Phantom Titans. Good times

Its deeply stupid - but it's silly in a kind of charming doofy way rather than in a creepy or terribly executed way. Unless that's like, a real person skull or something, that would be very creepy.

The tape skull looks much higher crowned, though that could be a side effect of the angle.

I think the original Inks where meant to used in two ways - at least, as I remember it from the time - as a 'glaze' right out of the pot, to give a shiny finish, and a wash- watered down to, well, be a wash - I'll post some before/after pics of the infinity minis I'm doing, when I sober up :P (edit) for now - the guy on the left has no wash on the armor - the other two do, in Coat d'Arms black, as a top coat (so far, gonna do more over that)- it's not shiny at all (so far - None of these are anywhere near finished)  Need to go through and highlight, do the faces, details etc and mop up mistakes - but even so they look ok on the table top - middle guys loin cloth needs some attention at least ! Standing up, slightly earlier in painting

I was at a friend's place and saw a bright red box on top of his cabinet of anime figurines. I took a closer look and it was a 90's Khorne Berzerkers box?? Opened it up and it's full of oldish Ork models, mostly random infantry but also a motorbike and a couple of hero-looking ones. Most notable are a bunch of huge solid metal models. Also a 1996 decal sheet for the berzerkers, and a space marine right arm/shoulderpad. So it turned out another friend had given him the box to give to me but he forgot, so it sat there for a couple of years until I noticed it by chance. I'll take photos of the more interesting ones later.
