There's a Norse legend that can be summed up that Loki turned into a mare in order to seduce a workhorse away from being used to build a wall around Asgard, then came back a while later with an eight legged foal which would be known as Sleipnr, Odin's horse. So uh yeah that's a decently known tactic if it's enshrined in myth. Spanish Manlove fucked around with this message at 14:41 on Jan 25, 2022 |

AndyElusive posted:To be a peasant soldier fighting in the mud and the muck and getting to witness a moment when that happens. One of the biggest historical moments I know of where it happened was during the Mongol invasions of eastern europe - the mongols favored small nimble ponies, usually mares. The heavy cavalry they went up against were made mostly of nobles, who largely favored "the biggest horse" and the end result was that their cavalry charges kept falling apart as the stallions would either fight each other for dominance, or they would break ranks to go chasing after the mares they could smell.

Or they'd never get a chance to counter attack because the Mongols had already shot their load of arrows leaving half the enemy nobles dead and started riding away at speed

Depends on the culture; a lot of horse cultures preferentially used mares for war or raiding even when they had geldings, due to both temperament reasons and the fact that a mare can produce food for her rider.

Nobody tell Matt "GW Bootlicker" Austin that the internet is already full of people just copying GW (and every other IP) minis and either releasing them free or selling them for not-stupid-GW prices.

Like what, you're supposed to be able to just ask and have GW mail you a mini at no cost? That's not really how the world works.

GW has difficulty enough using its development resources fairly amongst all the armies, these 'vanity' and event-limited figures only use up more of it while some figures are only available in resin for many non-Marine armies or sets are from the older side of the millennium. I doubt the figure is accurate enough that one could try and sneak it by in an official tournament, and even pals in your local group will notice it's a print rather than the real deal even using the fanciest available resin printer.

I want EXACTLY the minis that GW makes, absolutely and exactly the same but I don’t want to buy them is a terrible argument. 3D printing has so many exciting applications in wargaming and mini design, but just straight up scanning and copying a mini someone else designed is a truly uninspirational move

They have no interest in thinking a bit further ahead and acknowledging that if the company who pays the sculptors and writers isn't making money, that they will stop producing content. There was something of a debate in the Dropfleet group recently over this:  Some guy who wants a single model of anything produced after the Kickstarter to make molds from. Particularly focused on single piece small ships of all factions. Somone suggested he needs replacement parts. Someone suggested he is kit bashing. Someone suggested it is because stock is harder to find in North America. I would suggest he is attempting to make some money recasting the new releases for a less crowded market.

I've seen scans of OOP metal figures, which is a cool way to own a piece of nostalgia without getting fleeced on the secondary market. There's also a lot of freedom in being able to buzz out proxy figures for a small time investment and a cheap/ free STL. A person might not be $$$$$ interested in an army, but think they're neat enough to do a $ - $$ proxy or bolster "legitimate" purchases. And in conclusion, this thicc genestealer cult magus:

moths posted:I've seen scans of OOP metal figures, which is a cool way to own a piece of nostalgia without getting fleeced on the secondary market. Reproducing an OOP mini is ok I think, it isn't taking a sale away from the creators. I'm not even that down on proxies in general, if the official model isn't good enough to make you part with your cash that may be saying something. I dunno, it gets a bit murky. I tend not to play games unless I like the minis. moths posted:And in conclusion, this thicc genestealer cult magus: For me, the original is one of the best minis GW has done in recent years. It is distinct, interesting, but not overworked. So obviously it needed bigger tits.

Miniature piracy is no different than any other piracy. Personally, I have never pirated something I was planning on purchasing, and quite often the act of pirating has acted like a "demo" for me to then purchase the product later - my steam library is packed full of games I pirated first then bought. I think I've pirated-then-purchased more games than I have just flat out purchased. As for GW specifically, I would much rather buy a "not-Emperors Champion" stl for $5 from some rando online who created the sculpt himself than buy a similar model from GW for $45, since the $5 goes into the creators pocket instead of some shareholder's investment portfolio.

I think most people who pirate stuff understand how businesses work, but they just figure that the paying market can subsidise them getting what they want for free, which is probably correct for when it comes to more popular stuff. GoT being the most pirated show of all time didn't cause HBO to cancel production half way through.

Minor correction: the paying public isn't subsidizing the pirates, the property is already created and the creators -- the ones who matter, anyway -- already got their money back. If anyone is getting "ripped off" it's the folks that had no hand in product's creation and distribution. In GW terms, the sculptor got paid, and therefore no further compensation is owed. Pirate all day, every day, gently caress shareholders and rentseekers.

What about the guy who commissions sculptors and outsources casting? Pirate away and drive them under so anyone without a 3d printer is driven out of the market? This describes virtually all of the market outside of the big names btw.
