I just finished my rescue project on them.

They're getting closer. New Deathwatch marines are noticeably taller/bulkier.

I took a basic art class as an elective in college. Simple poo poo like rudimentary color theory and design with black and white stuff, all on 2D.

That was before I starting painting minis. It's amazing how much I retained from it and use when I paint minis. All because I had to fill a bullshit arts and humanities slot to graduate.

I’m sure that GW ruin diorama would have been just fine if that one redshirt skellie wasn’t chained to the table. A meta joke about a GW store on the battlefield is one thing but implying the company enslaves its workers is unsurprisingly going to be unacceptable.

Almost every place of work has employees that joke about their bosses being slave drivers. It's not unique to GW.

As long as shipping isn't crazy expensive I'd take them. Hell, I'd be happy if they were crammed into a padded envelope.

Repainted one of my D&D guys I painted a year ago. Yeah...that whole "just pretend he has a face" thing doesn't really work in retrospect.




Who makes that mini? It's amazing. Wielding a tankard and sword at the same time is like 75% of my D&D characters.

If you don't mind whoring out your services and can paint quickly those guys can be a decent income source. No, they won't pay huge commission prices, but they'll usually accept barely low tabletop quality. Think Heroclix paintjobs.

I mean, yeah kinda. Having children present does change the tone of what you are doing, and it is good that there exist no-children-allowed activities or areas. But A) declaring an entire hobby off limits to children is dumb and B) "ya ever gently caress lasanga"? Seriously? That's your idea of fun that you can't have without children present? gently caress off

I only have a handful of anecdotes dealing with children.

One is a guy's 12 year old he brings along on game day. The kid is wild. Doesn't actually play games and just runs around screaming. More than a few models have fallen off the table and broken.

Another is a friend's 9 year old. The kid paints and plays, and is fairly well behaved. He's prone to forgetting rules and bouts of immaturity, but, ya know, he's 9. I don't dread gaming when he shows up.

Basically what I'm saying some kids are fine to game with and some aren't. But IMO it's more on the parenting.

I said this in the other thread, where I first saw it, but I'm planning on buying some of these little books precisely because they piss off redditors so much. I'm going to give GW money for the first time in my life because they're pissing off the right people. For books I'll probably never read.

If they really are kid friendly and not absolute garbage donate them to a family with kids or a library.

To be fair, edition 1 of AoS was kind of a fustercluck, and the general's handbooks made it playable.

Yeah, I was hoping they'd basically be dressed in a ragged version of a nun's habit with purity seals everywhere. But I can certainly make do with these.
