I've read more than one story from online artists who do work by commission about this sort of thing. It might kill your soul to do it, but furries are willing to spend a lot of money for decent quality artwork of their fursona or whatever.

With WWII Germans being license to print money for any historical maker, you'd thing that shithead would find some quality decals to buy. Then again, hams players somewhat less than informed about the gaming industry at large.

Honestly I've had a hard time finding ww1/Prussian/biker style iron crosses for my 15mm ww2 Nazi tanks. The best I've found so far is 3rd party Black Templar decals.

I really like the star painted on the face of the fifth one's helmet. Heck, I like the subtle splotches of yellow and stars all around. Mixed in with the more outlandish elements, it feels like these guys are slowly figurimg out this whole party thing.

Why do people in this thread hate boobs so much? Warhammer 40k’s whole aesthetic is OTT pulpy/body-horror/H.R Giger-esque weirdness. Tits are totally appropriate. Some of the titified conversions are hilariously silly and personally I wouldn’t buy a model that was hanging tit because I like a tiny bit of realism in my weird fantasy models. But tits certainly aren’t bad or evil or even out of place in a 40k aesthetic.

It's not the tits themselves that are the problem, really. It's the fact that the hobby is full of horrible greasy grogs that fixate on the idea of 'sexy' minis to a stupid degree, e.g. Doc Thunder.

Osric posted:I really haven't met enough people who do the hobby to make any kind of survey but the people I have met are normal human beings, most of them average family men. I can't say I measured their greasiness levels. The issue, again, isn't the depiction of the female form. I'm sure some people do take issue with that in general, but it's not representative of the complaints in this and other threads. There's an absurd double-standard when it comes to the depiction of men and women in this industry. The vast majority of men are wearing effective, if not necessarily practical, armor, are largely fully clothed save to show off the occasional pectoral muscle or bicep. There's very little about them that is overtly sexual. Compare this to boob armor, skimpy clothes and string bikinis, and absurd hips and bust sizes, plus poses that emphasize those assets. You could argue that the majority of male figures are equally as unrealistic, and there's probably some merit to that argument. But the men are sensationalized to be warriors and heroes whereas the women are sensationalized to be hyper-sexual. The biggest problem isn't that these figures exist, it's that they're the norm. They teach young men and boys from an early age that this is how women are supposed to be portrayed. We've normalized the fact that women aren't supposed to be depicted the same or valued for the same reasons as men.

They might be silly little pieces of plastic but they are ultimately a kind of art, and the purpose of art isn’t to inculcate or indoctrinate the values you as a viewer like but rather to reflect the vision of the artists. In this case it’s a crazy (sometimes sleazy) hosed-up body horror vision. You like it or you don’t and if you don’t like the aesthetic no one is forcing you play 40k, but I would suggest there’s a fairly substantial dollop of irony that goes into GW minis. All these models are xenocidal monsters of one sort or another who purge the impure with fire and fist-gently caress entire planets. Are your seriously complaining that they're not teaching the right sort of lessons about gender?

Yes, because the media we consume has no impact on how we view the world around us and the products of an international corporate entity focused above all else on turning a profit are representative of genuine artist vision that can't be compromised.

40k hasn't been ironic in years and GW isn't the only miniature producer in town. You have stuff like Prodos Games's money burning pile called Space Crusade which is all naked lady space marines vs. naked lady CSM range, all the female miniatures in Brother Vinny's catalogue and some of the more unfortunate Infinity sculpts (Tech Bees, for example). Now, "No Female Space Marines in 40k" is my hill to die on and the only issue that I have with SoBs is them not having an all plastic range, but making fun of bad titty miniatures (Wargame Exclusive, anything sculpted before the year 2000, Raging Hormones) is our meta constitutional right.

But why don't you test your theory. Make your own game: Non-Threatening Utensil 40k, in which players can use gender-neutral models to role-play peaceful exchanges and diplomacy between different Collectives of friendly xenos carefully calculated to teach the right sorts of lessons to kids of all ages. That way people who like chaos sex daemons and interstellar murder can have their game and you can have yours.
