For some reason, it really reminds me of that cryonics-obsessed robot from Logan's Run. Trying to remember his name now. Cox, something like that.

I would unironically field an entire army of these dudes, properly painted of course. Are there chibi-Dreadnaughts or Terminators, as well?

Sex sells really well. Makes me wonder why I make robots and spaceships. I would be on top of my own miniature empire right now had I gone down the T&A route.

What's sad is that everything above the neck and around the base would be awesome if it were on a mini that I wouldn't be ashamed to bring to game night. They really could have had a female mini on par with their Flower Knight if they didn't insist on catering to their T&A customer base.

The base is a nice touch.

I would compare it to lipstick on a pig, but that would be far more appealing than....whatever the rest of that is.

That's either one way to polish a turd, or proof that you can't.

Goddamn, why do so many countries use the exact same color scheme?!

I love how much this works because Space Marine proportions make more sense for a horse-man than a human.

Honestly the two in the middle foreground don't look bad at all. If you had given the red one a wash and the blue one some highlights you'd have two tabletop-quality models right there.

So the skulls reliefs have gun turrets in their eye sockets, but there's no gun turret in the giant relief sculpture of an actual gun?

You're right; that is authentic 40K.

When did people start hating dice?

Over in the Board Game thread, we were hating dice long before it was cool.

Edit for content: Dice are a terrible randomizer for most everything but casino gambling and historical simulations. Each roll of the dice takes place in a vacuum; what was rolled earlier has no effect on the result, and the result will have no effect on later rolls. This leads to skewed results ('hot' or 'cold' streaks) with no way to mitigate them, resulting in not only games won or lost based on random chance rather than player agency, but occasionally games where everything you do fails with nothing you can do about it. In theory, streaks will always balance out over time to meet a statistical average; in practice, no game has enough die rolls to balance out over the course of a single session.

If this isn't an issue for you, great! Seriously, this is not intended to be condemnation of players having BadWrongFun. But since the new millenium, with the birth of the Board Game Renaissance and the rise of Indie RPGs, there has been a growing movement of players wanting (and creating) games that eschew dice as an RNG. Replacing them are decks of cards, stacks of face-down tokens or tiles, or bags of cubes or chits; anything where the values are in a set supply that is depleted as they are produced. Not only does this normally cause any streaks to balance out in a single segment of game time, but also opens up design space in how these components can be used in the game both before and after their values have been checked.

If it's a champion of Slaanesh, I think it's fully in the realm of canonical possibility that isn't boobplate, but that the breastplate itself grew tits.

go one step further and always paint eyes first

Seconding this (or unironically this, I can't tell).

Paint big white blotches where the eyes go, dot them with black, then paint the skin tone around the eyes. Just make sure your flesh wash isn't so thick that it fucks it up.

Congrats, you are now adept at painting eyes.

:lol: Yeah, why should I want to watch a 20 minute video that's novelty wears off 7 minutes in?

Next I should watch a whole lovely movie because there might be 5 minutes of good movie in the last 20 minutes

If you don't want to finish something because you don't like the beginning, that's perfectly fine; but don't expect anyone to take your criticisms of it seriously.
