Which is just Berserk, really

I think those sculpts are fine, content-wise; sexuality obviously has a place in art and can have one in gaming, and it can be cute when it's campy (like the hobbit brothel posted a couple pages ago) or cool when it's unsettling without being just boring hardcore porn (like Giger's better art, or even some of GW's new Slaanesh poo poo). In fact, people often have the same problem depicting sensuality/sexuality in art as they do horror: failing to grasp that showing less literal sex is often more, whether the goal is to be creepy or erotic.

Kingdom Death miniature line devolved from humans in rags battling horrors to mostly thicc anime girls in fantasy outfits.
Granted, the monsters are still around and some are impressive, but they make more money on tiddy.

Edit: Now I think on it the Wet Nurse is the perfect incapsulation of KD’s problem. By itself the Wet Nurse is fine. A phallic babyfaced monster that nurses mutant babies on entire cornacopias of tits is the right side of sexual horror.

Buuuut then they throw in the pregnant rape slaves and the hentai-rear end dick tentacles and it dives into a voyuristic hole.

Yeah. KD's cheesecake stuff is pretty goofy and obviously making bank selling to anime perverts, I meant that the concept behind those creepy statues up there is cool regardless of problems with the execution.

Which is exactly the kinda thing I mean. This mentality of "we'll make this model erotic or erotic horror by gluing more naked babes with big titties and big ole dicks to it" which is also at the bottom of all the people converting Slaanesh and making femarines and poo poo ITT by just adding garishly-oversized exposed body parts to existing models.

I don't get why anybody thinks it's cool, scary, or hot, but they must be out there for it to be such a thing.

I hate sounding like a broken record because I've bitched about Kingdom Death a lot before but it's the most textbook example of cargo cult bullshit. They're aping Dark Souls and similar aesthetics without a consistent underpinning theme or quality to any of it. It exists solely so everyone at the table can sit there and act very straight faced and "mature" about the subject matter when in reality everyone is either a) uncomfortable or b) horny. It's an embarrassing loving mess with no rhyme or reason, but hey the one positive is that it's good for letting you immediately know someone has horrendous taste in style and game mechanics both.

That's what I'm loving talking about. Give me neon soaked far future battlefields where diamond armour turns laser shots into a disco show, the rockets are fluted to scream discordant wails at the enemy, and prismatic energy fields carry troops aloft on butterfly wings to rain techniclolour death. The enemy can see you with thermals, gravimetric sensors, whatever, so don't even bother with camo, just go full on Liberace on your tanks.

In my defense, the rhinestones don’t photograph well so it looks a lot more Super Fabulous and a lot less Early Ben Grimm in person.

i made a video game.
why not give it a try!?
here's my own unspirational story:

i broke the poo poo out of my dishwasher. there's a plastic water supply tube that has little plastic interlockers to hold it in place. being an idiot, i just pulled it out straight and the interlockers broke off. but i'm also a huge rear end nerd who converts my own plastic miniatures, so i was able make some new interlockers from little pieces of a GW sprue and some plastic glue.



thanks for listening to my story, peace

Add to that, the kingdom death creator was a huge twit to everyone when he started out, and was going to SHOW EVERYONE how to do minis RIGHT.

... Then made some awful garage kits that took off, and a kickstarter that really took off, and it's the whole "Worst guy you know makes a good point" joke.

Kingdom Death is unfortunate because the non-titty minis are top tier and gothic as gently caress, but ruined by association with hentai bullshit.
