Vermintide posted:How are these guys still doing business? How is it even legal for them to keep and sell and army if the customer is displeased and doesn't pay the last 35 percent? Just how? Blue Table Painting makes a commission-based painter like myself feel a mixture of pride ("heh my poo poo is SO much better than them") and horror ("oh god they get more business than I do despite painting like literal poo poo what the gently caress"). Rapey Joe Stalin posted:I knew BTP were lovely but this is something else. If they were operating in the UK they would be breaking the law with that poo poo. It is blatantly misleading advertising and a product not suited to the purpose. And if they tried to confiscate your goods they would be crucified. I think the best part is that slowly but surely, people are being warned about their poo poo paint jobs and questionable practices. Still too many clueless people out there giving these dipshits money though.

REAL MUSCLE MILK posted:he didn't actually pay 28,000 dollars, that's just what it would cost if he chose to have his entire army (9k points of CD) painted up to 'level 7' by BTP So how much DID he pay for the whole thing?

SRM posted:I think it was something like 14 bucks per dude in the infantry squads and $250 for the centerpiece monstrous creature stuff. That's what I remember from his thread on Dakka and the first vid is all. That's insane. It's more than I charge for my services for what is my standard tabletop-ready level of painting.

The Land Raider is especially bad because there's parts of it that are just flat-out unpainted, or clearly only had one coat of paint sloppily put on there. gently caress, I don't think they even drilled the barrels on the multi-melta.

I like how just filling in details and adding blood splatter makes them a drat sight better than BTP.

moths posted:That poo poo pisses me right off, while at the same time I'm OK playing historical games that have actual model Nazis in them. It has to do with context. Historicals is one thing. There's an acknowledgment that yes, there were Nazis in WW2, so if you're playing a WW2 game then you're going to have to deal with them at one point or another. Playing as them isn't even really seen as weird because well, SOMEONE has to play them, right? But in 40k it's just jarring because while the Imperium is a xenophobic hell-hole, they are not literal Nazis goose-stepping through the streets and killing jews. Warhamms draw some really weird and terrible people, and when someone is putting Nazi poo poo on their far future space-men you can just tell there's something hosed in their head and that they might just think that Hitler had some good ideas. Basically anyone putting Nazi symbols on Leman Russes is That Guy to the extreme.

rkajdi posted:EDIT: I almost want to start up a real noob painting thread, where there's a serious emphasis on feedback and easy ways to improve your painting. Not sure that would go over well, since it's effectively a "hugbox" where you try to get people up to the internet painting par. But when you have a painting thread where you say the minimal supply buy-in is $25 with fairly nice stuff (for a novice) I can't help but think we should do something directly for the "my first marine" crowd. I do think that is a good idea, but I wonder if that won't just be kind of redundant with the Miniature Megathread and/or stepping on its toes.

SRM posted:A guy on Dakka, for whatever reason, has enlisted Blue Table Painting after the recent debacle to "show what they're really like!" and white knight the gently caress out of them: If someone appeared in the painting thread with this and said "yeah this is my first real attempt" I'd think "yeah dude you're doing pretty good!"

Ignite Memories posted:I assumed that commission painters got by doing stuff like what EEB was saying, using airbrushes and stuff to save a lot of time and hopefully not spend as much time working on a mini as you would at home [because you probably don't have an airbrush]. Which is not lazy in my eyes, just a reasonable way to lower your labor cost at the expense of relatively-steep piece of equipment. Still doesn't seem crazy lucrative, but some folks seem to make it work. Honestly the only reason I do commission work is because I don't have a steady job and it's my only real means of income at the moment. If I got ANYTHING that paid better you drat well bet I'd stop slaving hours over other people's poo poo.

TheCosmicMuffet posted:No question. You're a goon. I'm a fan of Malifaux but there's a lot of stuff that's skeevy/problematic. Zombie hookers being one of them--I get the angle they're going with there, sure, because the guy who raises them is basically Jack the Ripper. But it's still weird and kinda gross. Which, I suppose is intentional. The Ronin and the Victorias being stripper cheesecake models despite being accomplished and dangerous swordswomen is not really acceptable in TYOOL 2015, though.
