I feel like this exact argument has been made for over half a century now. The music industry collapsed because people copying records/tapes/cds/downloading mp3s. The movie industry collapsed because of the pirate bay. Nobody makes videogames anymore because of those darn pirates. Now literally every miniature company is going to go under because of 3d printers.

No miniature company is going to go under because of 3d printers but OP is saying it's ok to copy absolutely everything not nailed down which will absolutely put some people out of business. Also what about copying stls? Paid for em already so why not give them away?

There are a lot of arguments you can make around piracy, ethics, and practical consequences, but this doesn't feel like the thread to do it. The Industry Thread feels like somewhere more suited to it if you want to argue it out -- I think it comes up there on a semi-regular basis anyway.

I was just looking at the companies website the other day, and apparently they reedited the english version and took out the most objectionable content, but left the spanish version intact. The english version is now 30+ pages shorter.

If we had a tournament bracket for the worst and grossest miniature uninspiration ever, Eldar Rape Diorama would probably take the cake.

Eldar rape diorama at least featured the Eldar reaching for a weapon. It was gross and in poor taste, but the outcome wasn't guaranteed and it wasn't celebrating the subject matter. It was a battle scene, but the rapists didn't know that yet. Much more gross was the actual nazi propaganda a guy hand-painted on Imperial Guard tanks' bulldozer blades and hulls. Just completely blatant nazism.

The grossest are those nazi marines that are painted ridiculously well, because it's immense skill and talent wasted by the owner/painter being a loving fascist scumbag

Yeah Kingdom Death has a lot of questionable miniatures although not all of them are intended for use with the board game.

Really bad, it relies on a monster deck for actions and there are in between battle cards you draw based on decisions you make and all of them are bad things happen or minor good thing that wasn't worth the risk happens. Plus at the end of the game, assuming you make it that far, everyone gets raped to death by unending dick lion waves and other terribly designed monsters.

What confuses me about these jackasses is why they never say "The Hugo Boss uniforms look spiffy. And I hate to lose but I cheer when Nazis lose - so it doesn't feel bad if I lose while playing the Nazi side. Which makes the game more fun for me."
