Is that intentional parody of 40k's grimderp or is it just extremely bad taste?

I kind of like it, I'm imagining a Kill Team squad of "Girl Power" Anime-barbie Chaos-marines. PRINCESS SPICE SQUAD GO!!! Khorne could be some soft of body building gal done up like an death metal fan...

I imagine quite a few people getting mad about it because of "not taking the game seriously" hopefull less getting mad because they think i'm a creep.

I'm sure that they know they are making poo poo people will masturbate to and don't care. The only reason the naughty bits have those covering is so that its just this side of being actual pornography.

That one is nice but I would expect the dress to have no back.

It's probably actually a little boy or something.

What do you mean? There's nothing bad about that compared to the precious ones. She's wearing a shirt. She's wearing a skirt. She's even wearing panties and socks. Oh god the fact that I just typed that sentence about an up skirt panty-shot mini and actually mean it :suicide:

Unlike the other ones that appear to be of nude or semi-nude adults, this one is clearly a child. It doesn't matter that she's technically fully clothed.

There's just something about all the BTP painting that does the opposite of "pop". Everything just seems muted and kinda...I don't want to say messy, but a little off. I'm not a very good painter and my best paint jobs seem to be on about their level, which for a commissioned painting service is kinda gross.

I think part of the problem is how wildly inconsistent it is. There where 2 or 3 models in that montage that looked good (the eagle and that skaven(?) wheel thing) but there was a lot that looked one or two steps above THINURPAINTS level like those white knight looking guys (warmachine models I think) and stuff that looks like what I'm doing now with the airbrush (the Tau stuff) I've had for all of 3 months that I'm still figuring out how to use.

And this is stuff they probably painted knowing it was for miniwargaming and that it would be used in photos and videos produced by those guys.

I can definitely see what I imagine everyone is talking about as far as the shortcomings of that Land Raider but it's still something I'd accept as a "I just painted my first tank to tabletop standards" model. A lot of the colors and edges need to be evened out but I'd still rather see it across the table than the THIN YOUR PAINTS crowd.

But then again, I am a solidly mediocre-to-adequate painter who hasn't ever painted any tanks himself.

Would you pay 50 bucks for it on top of the cost of the model itself? I wouldn't.

To put this in some perspective, there is a commission guy at my FLGS that charges 10 bucks for each model (28mm dude or 15mm tank) if you supply the model (otherwise its the cost of the model + 10 bucks) and that 10 paint (Super Basic, "This is table top ready") job that he churns out as fast as possible is better than what appears to be a "Good" BTP mini.

I don't think that ether paint job is very nice but I don't go for the grimderp aesthetic anyway so even the "fixed" model would go straight into the simple green bath.

In my historical's group usually has the best painted miniatures, best terrain, etc... around the LGS. We make a big effort in always making sure what we are playing with looks 1000x better than anything the Warhammer, Warmahordes, etc... guys are doing so we can be giant smug cunts about it. "Just let me clear this garbage off this table and we can set up" *throws all the 40k terrain in some bins without caring one bit about damaging it*

Meanwhile I actually overheard some warhams guys talking about how painting was a waste of time because learning how to thin paints properly was too hard.

Whats funny is after I posted that I figured I would get at least one "[CITATION NEEDED]" type post.

I'll give you that they might have been playing warmachine, all that fantasy space elf stuff looks the same to me.

yeah you're a real rear end in a top hat :wtc:

Yeah, I was just venting.

Somebody went through the private storage and took out some of my personal terrain, shoved half of it back in the locker (not even in it's boxes) and then left the other half out and mixed with the store terrain.

I know it was one of the shits who play 40k. But without proof and such what can I do.

Honestly, I have a ton of models I just can't be bothered painting too. When I do get the motivation to start painting, I do it properly though and put in some effort. I just think it's pointless getting your paints and brushes ready only to throw on the minimum 3 colours and call it a day.

3 Colors (and a wash for shading) is fine, if you don't just slap it on like a moron.

He probably painted the ship himself and then paid somebody else who knew how to thin paints to do the anime girls.

I know a lot of tabletop guys are spergs, but why hasn't anyone taken them to court yet? It seems like an open and shut case, and for 1500 it might be worth at least a consolation to see if you can get anything back after lawyer fees.

I would say honestly that even BTP's worst is about average for what I've seen at my FLGS for painting regardless of system. So it could very well be that quite a few people will look at those pictures and honestly not understand why these people are so mad at BTP.

I own that mini. :saddowns: I wanted a more gender balanced pair of slayers for Mordheim. I flip-flopped on whether to get the one with the weird bandage bra-thing or topless and thought that a slayer would probably not give a poo poo about modesty.

However I've never even taken the mini out of its tiny baggie and it sits under a pile of other spurned and forgotten minis in a drawer.

There's my story.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Also tits on warhams.
