E: spectralent posted:Wait does it have a twin-linked plasma cannon turret that can't elevate? Presumably the whole vehicle changes angle in order to elevate/depress the turret. Far worse is the fact that the plasma gun turret appears to fire BARELY over the head of the front gunner, if at all.

My immediate thought was to wonder why they've modelled their battlenun shooting herself in the head with her own rifle. THen I looked harder at what was going on with the hands.

Nurgle has worked sometimes when they've incorporated more of the aspects of corruption, not to mention insects etc. But it was always meant to be rot, disease and corruption of the living rather than just death and decay. But yeah, they really missed a trick not having nearly skeletonised marines with their armour hanging off them and stuff. I've always thought Slaanesh works best when it's just excess. It's gluttony to the point of bursting. It's beauty to the point of surgeries that make you look like a frog. Or Joan Rivers. It's poopsocking because you can't stop playing your favourite game. For that matter, it's not buying your kids juice so that you can buy the latest jewel-like objects of wonder... It's... a goon a while back posted a story about a traditional game around Cinco de Mayo time I think where there's a kiss-cam type thing, but the person on camera is expected to flash, and if they don't, the crowd goes loving insane until they do. That's not telling it well, but the way it was told... that's Slaanesh. The sex demon bit is just tame, it's not thinking deeply enough about what being the corrupted god of pleasure, hedonism and excess should be.

My feel with SC marines has always been that they just have their arms crossed inside the chest piece and hold the controls for them there. They are, however, not as stupid as you might think: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=s...iw=1600&bih=737

Kai Tave posted:X-Wang uses dice for attack and defense and everyone who's played it with any regularity probably knows what it's like to roll five green dice for defense as someone shoots your valuable-but-fragile ace pilot from extreme range through an asteroid and you wind up getting all blanks while he one-shots you, but a huge part of X-Wing is essentially bound up in risk mitigation or in other words the best defense is not getting shot at in the first place, so the answer there to "what am I supposed to learn if the dice keep loving me?" is learning how to outmaneuver your opponents and leverage your ships' actions to maximize your chances to shoot at them while not being shot at in return and that's where the meat of the game is, not in rolling fistfuls of dice back and forth until someone gets bored and concedes. There are good ways to utilize randomness in games and bad ways. GW unsurprisingly utilizes it in bad ways because they're a poo poo company that makes awful games. Also, X-wing's dice are a lot simpler than most games' and a lot easier to predict as a result, plus dice manipulation (at least on the attack, on the defensive less so) is a lot easier to achieve than in most games. I feel like a lot of dice combat games would benefit from having custom dice rather than relying on standard d#s. Nonetheless, the dice are the worst part of the game for me, and I wish they had used a more deterministic method of combat resolution. But I still enjoy playing it, so anyway.

jodai posted:Aren't custom dice just a way to sell extra stuff for the game? Would it be different if instead of "roll 3 attack dice, look for bursts" it was "roll 3 d8, 7 hits, 8 crits"? Focus is just rerolling 1s etc. I'm genuinely asking, not trying to be snarky because I always wonder if there's really a point to custom dice beyond adding flavor to a game. That being said, yes, they are a way to make you buy more stuff. Most obsessed x-wing players wind up with at least two core sets, because they don't actually give you enough dice to play the game in one of them. That's the other reason the dice bug me. Fortunately, they're the worst part about an otherwise excellent game, and they're not as bad as they could be.

The Melta Ogre is mechanicus as poo poo. None of that is actively bad; the Volus Tuck is a little unskilled, but I think it's unfair to put it in this thread.

Sadly, pin-ups on ships are pretty common in x-wing. Some people seem to be doing it ironically or in reference to classic WW2 bomber paintjobs. Others are just creepy.

Colonial Air Force posted:"I know how paint a snake perfectly but not a woman's body" This is not really surprising TBH. He;s equally bad at painting both, we're just a LOT better at recognising human skin than we are snake scales. If you were a snake you'd probably be saying the opposite.

That doesn't look terrible? It's better painted than an awful lot of 'pro painted' stuff on ebay, but it's weathered and subdued rather than being vibrant and poppy, and the photography is not so well done. The freehand is a bit poo poo though.

Schadenboner posted:Just to try to make a teachable moment out of enamel hell: the correct way to do eyes is to make them black and put white over it, rather than white and try to make the eyeballs line up, right? You can do it either way, but if you wind up with buggley eyes like these paint some flesh tone over the xposed whites top and bottom.

LashLightning posted:Possible that they just don't want to pay Harrison Ford for his likeness, and thus we get a duff model. I'm pretty sure Disney have the rights to Harrison Ford's likeness as Han Solo in Star Wars. It's not like the card art sucks balls. And the are the license holders. It's just a poo poo mini. Even the IA Solo is better. It's a little derpy but it's recognisable when painted.

I have a lot more respect for people who are earnestly trying and loving up for lack of skill, than I do for people who are AMAZING artists and choose to paint hideous poo poo like the infamous eldar rape diorama.
