I'm sure you could find a female libertarian... somewhere.

I met one once. It was a struggle to not just scream at her that if her ideals were taken to their logical limit she'd quickly be dead or worse, being an out of shape, medication dependent, unattractive person with no assets or real skills. Basically the only difference between her and other libertarians I've met was gender.

Pretty much all the Space Crusade stuff looks like trash, but the Warzone figures are so insanely inconsistent in their sculpts, even in the same armies. At least none of them (except for a few Dark Legion models) have their tits out, but several are wearing thighhighs and combat loincloths, which for a game about corporate warfare in the future set against a backdrop of NotChaos evil is just mindboggling.

The Demigods line is all poo poo though.

Eh, Warzone, even more so than 40k, was influenced and based on stuff like 2000AD, Ronin and other 80's/90's comics. The sort of scuzzy punk rock hooker meets oppressive gaskmasked corporate overlords vibe was very central to that whole style.

I'm not a big fan of the titsmarines, but I do like the bikers, if they're reasonably priced I might pick some of them up for my FFoKF 80's themed street gang.

Yeah thinking about it you're right. I was just so skeeved out by some of those Space Crusade pictures my brain jumped into super critical mode.

Isn't it a bit more complex than that? I was under the impression that Harmony Gold, who owned Macross, and FASA both licensed the designs from the same company. Or at least FASA thought they had. Harmony Gold have may been the exclusive holder and FASA had no idea it was infringing. This was fine for years until Harmony Gold caught wind of it, possibly because of FASA's own aggressive protection of the designs, and decided to put the legal boot to FASA. This lead to a years long legal dispute between FASA and Harmony Gold which FASA simply didn't have the money or expertise to deal with. In the end, it was easier to remove the designs from future publications.

You do not want to get into that can of worms.

OGRE is only a 70's game in the sense that the first edition came out in the 70's. It's one of Steve Jackson's pet projects so the rules are actually fairly solid.

Also, again, this is only a minis KS, the actual OGRE kickstarter made nearly a million dollars and financed the production of an enormous box of stuff for backers as well as convinced them to pull the trigger on production of 6th edition.

IIRC the short version of it is that GW needed to bring to court a bunch of images of the products that Chapterhouse was allegedly infringing on, and they just straight up didn't.

I'd like to point out that you're wrong here since Jojo's bizarre adventure exists. But, GW writing and art could never really come close to the writing and fashion sense of Hirohiko Araki so you'd be right.

You forget that Jojo is also about insanely convoluted oneupmanship, sometimes involving italian food. Honestly almost every fight in Jojo is one guy is invincible, other guy figures out how to beat him anyway (except for in a few cases where Araki just straight up murdered characters for extra pathos), but it's entertaining to watch (or read).

Which is not something I can say for anything GW itself has put out (the video games are okay).

Just looked it up and... they did. Short story short, it goes out the same way it came in.

Spoiler because ... what

Once the nutrients and oxygen provided by the fluid are completely consumed, the waste liquid drains back into the beholder’s cavernous maw. It is then expelled or, more often, it dribbles out in a constant stream of foul-smelling drool. A beholder that goes without food grows more lethargic as its body begins to dry out. Anything a beholder finds indigestible is either vomited back up and spat out or slowly absorbed into the lining of its stomach and eventually embedded in the inside surface of its “skeleton.”

The digestion takes a tour through the lungs as well because... I dunno.

Okay, there actually are 'one hole' organisms but most of them aren't very big. Sending food or digestive products or worst of all waste into the lungs is a recipe for disaster though. Lungs are very sensitive to damage from solid matter because pretty much everything with lungs needs more oxygen than a simple robust lung structure would allow, so they're full of delicate branches of modified circulatory tissues with the physical integrity of wet paper.

Which is extra dumb if you bring up the magic angle, because dragons are equally magical and they don't poo poo at all.

I'm reminded of a story from the Reaper minis board.

Dude there was talking about the time he was painting a model train caboose with an alcohol-based acrylic paint, and, as I recall, hit it with some weird sealer or other. About five minutes later, it burst into flames.

Chemistry is fun but I can't imagine what they were possibly using that would generate that much heat that didn't have a warning label to not do that.
