gently caress, I remember those. Back when those showed up for the first time I got into an argument with some loving goons about how that's not even slightly how women look while wearing armour (ignoring the Planet of the Apes face).

FFG did a much better job depicting this:

That is one fugly flak armor chestpiece, but it's hardly surprising, artists have a hard time getting bolters and lasguns right, Forgeworld doesn't know what a bolt pistol looks like, and no cosplayer has ever made a good flak chestpiece.

Cosplay yes, but I don't think I've ever seen anything about 40k LARPing, aside from a Dreadnought I saw that was at a renfaire or something and had a gatling nerf gun.

It's either make awesome Warhammer costumes or slowly kill yourself by drinking nothing but vodka.

They chose wisely.

There's a 40k larp in the UK called Death Unto Darkness that uses nerf guns. I've never been so I don't know how well it works, but apparently the costuming's pretty great:

Actual answer: Poster back on Bolter & Chainsword who converted up a large army of Titty Marines/commissioned a -lot- of art of said Titty Marines. I can't seem to find any of the threads he started back on that board, I do remember he'd get hyper-defensive against any criticism and the mods had to keep locking his threads.

I'm the stone textured paint that was evidently used as primer/basecoat

nah that's just what happens when you don't use spray primer correctly. Probably sprayed too far away, or let it dry in the sun.

Oh, trust me, I definitely know about that experience. :smith:

Though when that's happened to me, I usually just strip the figure and start over again, instead of painting over it. But when you've gone through the effort of giving your space mans greenstuff tits and pigtails, I guess you're not going to let a little thing like primer fuzz bother you. :v:

Or, ya'know, use GW "primer" instead of a proper primer. The old GW not-primers seem to be especially prone to this effect. I've never had the problem after I switched to car primers, regardless of outside temperature.
