One of the things that struck me about the most recent Necron Codex was how lovely so many of the models looked. In particular all the Mephrit photos re-used from the...Shield of Baal supplement I think? Those minis were rear end, and definitely did not deserve to be Codex-quality photostock.

I always dug the Chaos Dwarves. Or Ruinous Duardain, I guess they'd be now. Whatever.

But yes, he looks good. I'd probably paint his lower lip and jutting teeth to distinguish them from his bead, but the highlighting is clean and the armor is well done.

You know, I hate to say it, but absent the swastikas and SS crap, that Gestapo-brown-with-red-accents color scheme on Termihitler is actually really eye-catching and very nicely executed, and would probably make for a really nice army on the table. :cripes:

Yeah, this anatomy issue is one area where the heavy armor stuff from Infinity is super-cool:

They bypass the whole thing by leaving the pilot's arms exposed and just having the armor's arm motions mimic those of the pilot.

I enjoyed painting infinity, and I think it's relatively easy to make them look really good due to the sculpt quality. That said true scale can be terrifying if you aren't accustomed to it.
My first true scale minis were for Aetherium, and yeah, it's a pretty sizeable paradigm shift. Your first thought is always, "My GODS! They're so tiny and spindly!" But once you get the hang of it, I think the end results are pretty :krad:

In terms of crazy-weird probabilities, I think Infinity's system is pretty cool. They have this sort of "The Price Is Right" mechanic where you and your opponent are both trying to get as high as you can without going over, but you're probably looking for different target numbers and rolling a different number of dice. The game is thus all about stacking the number of dice and the target numbers for those dice in your favor.

And one of the things I love about it is that re-rolls are exceedingly rare (and cost you a highly limited resource to use). Playing 40K where everybody and their brother has Preferred Enemy, Twin-Linked, Master Crafted, Feel No Pain, Reanimation Protocols, or whatever is ridiculous. It takes for loving ever to accomplish anything because there are absurdly common special rules that allow you to re-roll literally every roll in the game. Even the roll to go first ("Haha! Now I shall attempt to 'Steal The Initiative' from you!!!!"). Madness.

We have a dreidel that is not so random. It is loaded in the oddest way; when spun counterclockwise, it always comes up "shin." When spun clockwise, it always comes up "nun."

For the dreidel-uninitiated, both of those results suck.

Historicals players are always a step away from playing papercut anyways. You'd be surprised at willingness to play games with colored blocks of wood.
That's because the number of tiny minis you need to have to actually play most historicals is ridiculous. When I think about the amount of time it would take me to paint up enough tiny mans to run even a medium level ACW engagement, it makes me all :negative:

No, no - I could care less; I just don't. Meaning my level of caring is pretty drat low, and it would take me :effort: to actively care less, and that effort feels suspiciously like caring about how much I'm not caring.
