Is it cheating to use miniatures that you've painted? Probably! Do not use only a 1 brush to paint your miniature.  Maybe buy more than five colors of paint?  This one's okay, but the look on his face is like something out of a nightmare. "And after the Inquisitor gets through with you, I GET YOU ALL NIGHT TO MYSELF!"  This was before the invention of color, so this whole miniature was painted in black and white and only became color later.  DRYBRUSHING IS NOT BLENDING  "You shuldna done that ter the C'tan, he just a boy."  I literally did not know that matte varnish was a thing until around 2008, at which point miniatures like this suddenly started looking good and not so much like they just walked through a giant snail trail.  Happy ending: I got better.

JcDent posted:A few days ago, one guy on FoW FB page posted something about feeling "uncomfortable" about playing WWII Germans. I managed to refrain from calling him a few choice words I learned during my tenure on 4Chan, but only barely so. I'd say this kind of sentiment is no less absurd than atheist not playing DnD because there are gods or a Christrian not playing DnD because there a gods (instead of God). I think that it's entirely understandable to be uncomfortable about playing Germans in World War II games, and I don't see the linkage between religion in a fantasy world and an actual army that supported a fascist, racist ideology that cost million of lives.

Rapey Joe Stalin posted:I think people uncomfortable with playing Germans in a WW2 game are just as stupid and weird as the ones who will only play Germans. If you cannot divorce the aesthetics of miniatures from the human tragedy of the concentration camps then you have the emotional development of a child. "...and that's turn six, game. Alright, the German side won! I wonder what happens next?" "Well, I guess they'll probably filter out all of the Jews, shoot them in a ditch outside of town, burn the place down and throw some bodies down the well so that the advancing Russian hordes can't use them." "...yaaaaaayyy..."

Leperflesh posted:It's reasonably well-lit, and it's in focus, making it better than 90% of the miniature photographs I've seen. What's wrong with it, besides the passable paint job? The purple background clashes with the model and is far too busy, there's so much direct light on the model that the highlights on the tabard are blown out, the head blends in with the backpack, and you can't see the highlights that I laid down, which, agreed, makes it look passable. Here - same model, white background, diffused light.
