It's a photo taken from about the worst possible angle with a homogenous paint job blending the detail together. It's like if you took a photo of a space marine from the top and complained they all look like vague blobs joined together.

It's a large four-armed robot dwarf/minotaur with an axe in each hand, a beard made out of chains, and two big cow horns poking out of the sides of its head. It's not difficult to parse, it's just bad angle for a photo. Someone's trying to show off a specific detail on their paintjob and not the mini.  The paintjob is simultaneously good and boring to look at, and the mini is overdesigned which is a real common problem with 3D printed stuff.

This is less over-the-top and more practical work, but I recently did another kitbash series to make some Darkoath Savagers into Bloodreavers for my 2k points of Khorne. Observe!

A hallmark of bad sculpture is if there are viewing angles that it is incomprehensible from. I'd hazard I'd easily parse a marine from any possible angle.

Len posted:I can't tell what that's supposed to even be, is it a bad picture or did someone actually model a Michael bay transformer mid change? It looks like a four armed robot monster wielding axes with big horns and chains for a beard. It doesn't help that's its all painted with metallics. The design is also very uniform and busy. Gives you the impression of one of rhe squids from the Matrix. This is what you get when you have someone with the technical skills to model but no artistic/design sense.

For all their faults GW have a very clear design aesthetic. Even with the Nerfmarines you could look at them and know they were marines with giant goofy guns.

The guy refused to share or sell it, and pretty much just got off on people asking for the STL. Then he painted it with the most lackluster paint job. It was disappointment on every level.

Sometimes it just is that way and it is best to simply accept it, it shouldn't be a reason to slight someone. Still unfortunate that it wasn't painted well.

Yeah, nobody's entitled to someone else's work. It was just kinda annoying that he made a ton of Reddit posts and did some Spikey Bits articles promoting it. At least a bunch of better/ more accessible Angrons came out shortly after.smug jeebus posted:Well, what color did he paint the dick? Sadly, the world may never know.

He might have just been proud of it and wanted to show it off? I do that all the time for art I'm not selling on my non-professional insta account. Also yeah, I couldn't find it no matter how I varied search terms like "custom angron penis".

Getting into star wars legion and shatterpoint was a breath of fresh air compared to the GW stuff. Simple, clean silhouettes, even the stylized sculpts.

I'm not sure what people think, but maybe we can keep the real war stuff to the many threads dedicated to it? The topic is barely able to be handled in heavily moderated threads dedicated to it, probably best we don't get into it here. Just my opinion though, it isn't my call.
