The IG are all pretty heavily influenced by historical figs since they're the "army guys" and they're sculpted by the Perry brothers, who have a great line of historicals and do reenactments and stuff. The Valhallans are super obviously WW2 Russians (mine are painted this way) while the Steel Legion look like German paratroopers from WW2. Tallarn are supposed to be like Desert Rats, Catachans like Rambo, the old Cadians like modern military, and Mordians look like Marine corps dress uniforms. The slightly modified Praetorian models were based off Age of Imperialism uniforms - they were made for a scenario called "Ork's Drift" for gently caress's sake! Vostroyans are like steampunk cossacks, and Death Korps are based on WW1 French and German forces. Elysians are also based on modern military guys, at least much moreso than Cadians are at this point.

I grew up playing historicals with my dad. He has no problem running really any army in any setting, whether it's Imperial Guard in 40k, Romans, Nazis, Polish, whatever. I never saw it as a big issue unless you start getting a little too into it and bringing your weird ideologies into other games where they don't belong. That being said, most of the Jewish guys he met playing WW2 games were playing SS and panzer korps armies so who the gently caress knows.

I did commissions for a while in college. I put out projects at a pretty okay tabletop standard but absolutely everybody wanted something for free. It got to the point where I was painting for about $3/model when I just said gently caress it and walked away. I'll paint things as gifts or things for friends, but ugh, not commissions, not again.

Ugly John posted:it's a brother vinni. There's a whole line of 'victim girls' (yes, that's the actual name) you can peruse if you want to hate the world just a little bit more. It sucks because he's actually a really awesome sculptor and makes some fantastic not-Fallout models, but all that stuff is so intensely creepy.

I've found the more someone uses "custom" as opposed to "conversion" the worse painter/modeler they tend to be.

Felime posted:Yeah, I mean they're goofy and not amazing sculpts, but it's not like they're worse than what GW started with. I think the detail looks incredibly soft and the figures look pretty amateurish, but that's just me. Brother Vinni (his cheesecakey models have come up here plenty times, but he's actually very skilled) had some excellent Mutons for a while but they're gone now.

Either he's had that Marine around for a while, or he spent a lot of money on Fort Skullderoga there.

They were Inquisitor-scale, made around the mid 2000s, and loving impossible to track down. Jes Goodwin sculpted some of them.
