I've got no problem whatsoever with female marines. I do have a problem with the quality of the painting and modeling!

Those rhinos are adorable. They look like the vehicles I made for my action figures whe I was in elementary school.

I've not been painting super long, but I've already noticed huge improvement in my techniques. The key factor, in my mind, is not being afraid to ask for help. Learn from others. If you see something really cool on the forums, ask how they did it! If there's one thing I've learned in my life, it's that people who are really good at something are usually more than happy to talk about it. Use the mini painting thread. Don't be afraid of criticism--the vast majority of our community wants to see you get better, and will offer CONSTRUCTIVE advice. Don't be upset if you don't look perfect from day 1. Nobody ever does their best work starting out. Practice. Don't be afraid of 'wasting' a mini. Simple Green/Purple Power/etc are cheap. You can always strip it down the road and paint it with your new skills. Experiment with new techniques! Ask for advice if you need it, then try it out! Mistakes happen, but in painting they're pretty easy to fix. Just paint. Don't worry about perfection; EVERYBODY can find something to dislike about their paint jobs. And remember, the camera brings out all the tiny flaws you'll never see on the tabletop. A Guardsman's face that looks a bit sloppy in a high resolution closeup will look fine from tabletop distances. tl;dr Talk to our more experienced painters, and don't give up. Practice works!

I got the one with a chainsaw and zombie as a free bonus last Christmas. Need to paint them still, but they're pretty adorable.

I'm at work right now and can't really go looking, but I'm sure TFWiki.net has a screenshot somewhere of the scene in the 1986 movie with the faceplated Constructicons blpwing trumpets. That's what this reminds me of--goofy animation from an 80s cartoon designed to sell action figures. Except even then, Transformers had a far more compelling setting than Age of Sigmar!

Yeah. They're absolutely tabletop quality, but for "this is awesome you should buy this RIGHT NOW" they're... lacking.

I have two main issues with the tau missilemania mech. One, guns being directly attached to the body don't mesh well with having a head. IMO, it should either have arms or lose the head--I'd lean towards dropping the head. Two, the leg pose does not work at all with that body and armament. It worked alright for the new broadside and the riptide because of their more humanoid shape and the lower mounting of their main guns--it gives the impression of a person bracing to fire a big gun. On this, the guns are mounted like a Battletech mech, but it's standing like a humanoid mech. There's a disconnect there, and it really bugs me. tl;dr I'm a nerd

A giant robot that's weak to rain! Also, that has to be hell on the pilots' ears. I'd be fine with it on an Imperial mech--it fits their 'lovely remnants of the glorious past' aesthetic--but it's totally out of place for Tau.

JcDent posted:So, you take the legs off a Knight, and torso without shoulder, add Whirlwind batteries instead of arms, hang tarantulas/bolters under them, and add... some knight weapon instead of a Railgun. Really, it's basically only the feet and emblem that say 'tau' about this mech. Maybe the style of the big shoulder gun. Overall, it really doesn't look like one of their mechs.

berzerkmonkey posted:I don't know - personally, I don't think this is bad. Sure, you may not like the style, and it's not a job requiring any particular skill (other than using an airbrush) but for a tabletop standard, it's certainly better than having an unpainted army. The base overspray is particularly bad, but that's likely an oversight before they took the photo. This is from ages back, but I'm catching up on the thread and I want to comment on it. It looks to me like it's sitting on the bottom of the pool. If it was on an undersea base, it'd be rad as gently caress.
