My roommate has sunk $500+ into the Kingdom Death kickstarter :commissar:

They have made a few really sweet models hidden under the mountain of gross poo poo though. But I'd never give them money.

Apparently the Wet Nurse was something the guy had made before Kingdom Death, not excusing it, but that specific model (supposedly) wasn't designed specifically for the game. That being said, I remember being interested in KD at the start, when the worst thing he had was "pinup" models as add-ons. About 3 days after it started, the pinups were tame, conservative and restrained compared to the poo poo he was adding in. And the game raised over 3 million dollars.

As for painting, most of my models are just base coated. Unfortunately I don't have the time to sit down and paint the models. I know my painting skills are crap, but I would like to sit down one day and paint the rest of my Malifaux poo poo.

He's been using the "Kingdom Death" name for his whole business for years before he decided to make a game so I guess you're still late to the party. I haven't seen much of the game but from what I've seen it seems to be relatively more restrained than all the hosed up rape monster/titty girl poo poo he was pumping out before he did the kickstarter.

I actually think the wet nurse is less objectionable than most the other females or at least I would in a different context. Most the women are basically just porn, which is weird and creepy.

The wet nurse as a weird maternity godess, while explicit makes sense and could be more or less fine with minor tweaks. Given the context, however, it comes across as fetishitic and creppy.

Did you miss the part where it has a huge raping dick tail and he originally had photos of it placed just behind one of the collapsed nude women that comes with it?

The near nude titty girls are tasteless but the rape monster is pretty fuckin' abhorrent. I mean I guess that's the desired effect but it's completely without context so if you were to buy one you'd be doing it just for the sake of owning a rape monster. And even if it were some movie monster or whatever that made sense in the context of a story you'd still be a creepy fucker.

Brushes at $5 or more each just aren't worth it if you aren't a painting ninja.

This isn't true at all. I'm not a very good painter and even I can tell there's a dramatic difference in quality between a W&N 7 series and a cheapo brush. Obviously you don't wanna use an expensive brush for dipping or something that'll wear it out super quickly but it's totally worth getting one or two nice brushes for general painting. They're a lot nicer to use and they'll last forever if you take good care of them.

Same with wet palettes. They're super, super handy quality of life improving deals. Nobody needs one but they make painting a lot easier, especially if you like to stop in the middle of a project.

You can get S7s for $5-10 on sale pretty often and as long as you clean them they're gonna last a long time, unlike cheapo brushes which are gonna wear out quickly no matter what.

A good tool isn't ever gonna make you better at something but a bad one can definitely hold you back or make things harder for you. Unless they're unsure if they're gonna stick with painting then there's really no good reason not to make the small investment in a good brush or two.

Eh, nobody in the painting thread is gonna jump on you for not being a good painter or for asking beginner questions. At the very worst you'll have people tell you what you can do to improve. I must've asked a hundred questions when I was starting out and everyone in that thread was super helpful.

I donno what internet maleification is but at least two of the best painters on SA are women IIRC.

I think the worst part is the bare wood on the base. Like you put that much effort into putting poo poo on the base and you can't even be bothered to spend 1 whole minute putting some paint over the open space?

I didn't say there were. But you can have parts that are still comparatively worse than others. I'll be careful not to come across as an apologist next time.

Yeah sorry, I didn't actually think you were trying to be an apologist. I'm just of the opinion that it's really no different either way. In fact I'd almost say it's more honest to emphasize the worst parts, though the painter is still a shithead either way.

Honestly even the worst of those is far better than 90% of the female IG sculpts out there. The "heroic" scale is exaggerated and goofy in the first place and for the most part they'd all fit in pretty well with their male counterparts, Mordian hooker boots aside.

You see, in those days, women were made to beat their infants together inside sacks to weed out the weaker ones. The younger officer is flashing back on barely remembered trauma of darkness, tumbling, and then jarring impacts.

But he was strong, and he grew up to join the army.

Any good guides you recommend?

Pick a color(usually black or brown) and slap it on pretty much the entire model unless the spot would be obviously inappropriate. The Citadel washes are extremely popular but other companies make them and there are even some guides to make your own on the cheap.

The people in this thread would be happy to give you any information or suggestions you need: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3705692

This thread is about models which are exceptionally bad for reasons other than "beginner needs more practice". Very few people are good at painting right away, the vast majority of us only put out decent looking stuff because we did a lot of mediocre paint jobs first.
