As a multiyear KS superbacker, don't overestimate the persuasion of stretch goals. You could be like, "Once we hit $100k for Pile-of-poo poo, we'll throw in a Tshirt" and I would absolutely sprain my wrist from the force of slamming the left mouse button to back it.

Nundam was thrown around the day they were previewed, don't give this dude any credit.

Also I thought from the discussion alone I knew exactly which 3d modeller it was, but nope I'm thinking of a different horny hams dude.

E: nundam is great though, up there with wehreboo in my favourite words.

I see what you mean, I haven't read that one yet. *Goes to check reading list*

It goes like this.

1st edition - metal sculpts. Good sculpts, but metal so a deal breaker for some and they were getting expensive due to rising metal costs.

2nd edition - resin. Lovely detail but dear lord it was brittle stuff! They switched to a slightly better resin part way through but it was still problematic.

3rd edition and current - new super flexible plastic resin stuff. I haven't handled it personally but it seems to be going down ok generally and has been in use for awhile now. It reportedly 'tears' if you try to file it but cleans up fine with a sharp blade.

I was talking to someone at a local club who picked up the 3rd ed starter and he seemed happy enough with it.

Basically Knight Models have always put out nice sculpts and crisply detailed castings, it has just been a question of how durable some of them are. And if they are on the ball with quality assurance. I put the game on pause at the end of 2nd edition for a bunch of reasons, but they do seem to be genuinely improving over the last year.

The belly tattoo is technically impressive, but I'm not sure it works for the rest of the model.

Special FX legend Tom Savini used his experience as a wartime photographer in Vietnam as reference for gore effects, so this is legit

Isn’t it canon that the Emperor was numerous famous/infamous/religious/historical figures throughout his long life, Adolph Hitler among them?

Numerous 40k fans have told me this, but I have no idea if it’s true, but if it is, uhhhhh, they would be literal Nazis, yes.

Reminds me of letting my niece have a go at painting and she set out to use a bit of every brightly coloured or metallic paint I had on the rack. They looked like a cyberpunk rainbow applied as camouflage, but she had fun.
