Does raise on question, tho: is it possible to make a sexy miniature without goons going pervs? I mean, is that available at least in theory? Is it one of the reasons why Slaanesh armies are focused on sound, the silliest of all things to have in excess (well, that and the roots in glam rock)? If you make them junkies, some mom will definitely claim that 40K is making her kid sniff glue.

Also, whenever I see people arguing strongly against cheesecake (wait... is cheesecake the opposite of beefcake? MIND BLOWN) minis, I get the sudden urge to defend my territory against SJWs and such such. However, if left alone, I'll make fun of the ridiculous hentai armor and boobs gone wild... I am a very confused man

As for naked women, I think reading the description also helps to see if the sculptor had both hands on the job.

To be fair Slaanesh miniatures have depicted a wide variety of the "excess" concepts - there's the noise concept, but Slaanesh demons have breasts all over them, and the 30k Emperor's Children are very much aimed at the idea of perfection/elegance in their armor and poses and weapons and all that. And Dark Eldar have all kinds of drug related stuff, soo.

But they don't have Crack Marines! And yeah, Daemons might have breasts on them, but other Slaaneshi are like "eh". Well, I'm arguing for an empty cause anyway, because BDSM Slaanesh would be just fetish fuel.

Then again, if I lost all will and went to make a Heralds of Ruin CSM kill from cultists only, I would buy maybe buy a sexy mini for the team lead, because, inevitably, it would be a near 100pts character in a 300pts team, since even with max cultists, there's nothing else to spend points on, and I want the team lead to be representative of all the boons and poo poo they get.

Fortunately, impending Infinity buying stuff and not having painted my last two Kill Teams is stopping me from doing stuff.

For the longest of times I considered buying a sexy Japanese mini and painting it white/washing it blue to have a hologram effect, to make it look like a holographic stand of 40K "gentleman club". Thing is, they're all anime proportioned... and the ones I saw/was interested in buying are second hand. Second hand sexy anime sculptures, used by genuine otakus

I will defend the idea, tho: seedy holo stripclubs signs are a cyberpunk staple, and while 40K isn't exactly that, I wanted it to be a part of an urban wasteland, so to speak, a place where Inquisitorial Kill Team could fight against say Tau. Plus, it would be crumbling (hence the only intact thing would be the holo sign) and let me use the... uh... I forget, Death Zone rules? So yeah.

I have a really hard time imagining a national theme for my country. Can't paint Marines in flag colors, that would be silly. And no outstanding look for Guardsmen, either: interwar army had German gear AFAIK, and now days it's standard sub-NATO stuff. Must get creative!

I mean, I don't want IG riding around in King Tigers, but scratch building a "counts-as" Leman Russ with deck turrets instead of side sponsons would be fun, I think.

And going back to that sail, to further undermine the claim that it's somehow a Nazi tribute band, the predominantly red sail is an alternate colour scheme used on the Heavy hulls. The Dark Eldar transports with the same hull and sail use white with a red oval. Because red/white/black make excellent contrasts to the dark blue-green of DE vehicles.

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).

Now, Communist party is illegal in my country, since we had 50 years to see the good it could bring (and any kind of commie sympathizer is Russian puppet waiting to happen). But I would never assume that a commie player on FoW is an actual commie. Probably same with playing SS.

What you seem to forget is that SS lists are usually the super elite lists and some people just like power gaming/saving on miniatures.

...the preceding may or may not have anything to do with the topic at hand.

The funniest part is that the actual amount of paint thinning you have to do in order to not obliterate detail is very small in my experience. If you're using Reaper or Vallejo you can almost use it straight from the dropper bottle, and even the thicker GW pot paint is more a matter of 'wet your brush and swirl it around some' than 'painstakingly keep track of paint-to-water ratio.'

You almost have to be trying in order to get the sort of caked-on monstrosities people usually show as examples of THIN YOUR PAINTS.

As far I have seen (...on 4Chan. Man, this is getting old), historicals are not only well painted, but played on a stunningly beautiful terrain to boot. The ugliest terrain I saw was used in late cold war - modern battles. Napoleonics, ECW, ACW, stuff like that - things (tables) of beauty.

I do like the idea of a newbie painting thread though, I'm a pretty decent painter and even I get a little daunted by the megathread.

Ditto on the unpainted poo poo. Playing unpainted is like playing a video game without textures (that has happened a few times in the past). I don't like painting and I'm not good at it (yet?), but God-drat do I not want to play with unpainted minis. Painting might be an rear end to get into ("trimmed mold lines, basecoated, painted... what, highlights? Dry brushing? Is shading the same thing as washing? The hell is blending? What kind of sorcery is this?") and full of nasty surprises (so I wanted to paint some guys black...), but it's still better than the all plastic show.

Watched a Japanese 40K club play a few weeks ago. The Japanese, of course, have their stuff painted. The foreigners... all white Tau (one missing head...and arms) and an Eldar force that's clearly using non GW minis (judging by the color). Wasn't too pretty.

Although this gives me an idea: A Slanesshi boozehound gang! Just use rules for nurgle Marines (too drunk to feel pain/walk fast), paint it the Marines usual Slaneeshi/EC pink/black, model vine bottles and stills attached to Marines, and you're good to go.

Also, back on the "historicals can't paint track": I was looking for cheaper 1:100 T-55's, yet everything looks poo poo in comparison to what FoW have for sale.

So, are FoW T-55s so far ahead of the curve (and thus expensive), or do they look better because some poor guy was locked in a basement before he painted the mini to look that good?

I was toying around with the thought of making an EMperor's Children army based on sound - that is, a warband obsessed with finding the 'perfect sound' or something like that. Custom-built sonic weapons, cables and amps and loudspeakers in all sorts of improbable locations, Marines wired into their guns. Lots of eerie glowy pastel blues and purples. I always thought the basic idea of Slaaneshi marines was terricool - Marines given to obsession over detail and perfection - but of course nerds have to glom onto the 'heheheboobies' part of the god-thing of sex, drugs and rock'n'roll.

And for the record, a Land Raider with demon vehicle won't lose carrying capacity - however, whenever a unit embarks or disembarks, you get to roll a dice and see if the thing won't straight up eat a random passenger (and heal a lost hull point). lovely with something pricey like chaos terminators, hilarious if you intentionally start feeding cultists to it.

Cultists are little shits and deserve what's coming to them.

Well, I don't want to harp too much about "but how about making sexy Slaaneshi right", but, like you said, out sex, drugs and rock'n'roll, only the last gets any sort of non-daemonic presence.

There should be a junkie Marine list, drat it, but it would probably be too :orks: for people who already whine about random Ld on Renegades and Heretics.

Oh, and for some non-titty unspiration, here's my "how hard can working with greenstuff be" stuff:

How come there are no faces? The best way of getting the same point across is to show the twisted, contorted, almost inhuman faces caused by the constant pain and pleasure being felt by the damned souls who have succumbed to this evil.

So leave the default faces sexy miniatures comes with? :v:

TIMG for cartoon tits


If it ain't Twi'Lek boobie, it don't rate!

I'd say that he's good at painting naked chicks... but not the actual spaceship. What gives?

It is converted-- It doesn't have the rape tentacle still attached.

I didn't recognize it under the trees and lovely painting.

Jesus Christ. Is that better or worse?

Well, lookie :nws: here. What do you think?

Also, while I may look like she's attached to the nurse in this shot, it's actually merely a dick tentacle going for the soft parts.

Another thing is that it while it looks like a great heap of random tits, it always looks like cock and balls from any sort of distance.

Then again, Kingdom Death is 50% cool knights, 50% rape stuff. And most regular minis have a sexy/pin up version, logic be damned.

It also actually looks to scale, in that I can imagine 10 marines fitting inside it.

At that size, I can imagine them partying inside, disco ball and everything

This pack of beauties was selling for 235 yen (2 bucks or so) or something, with shipping inflating costs ten times. That's some termies, 6 bikes and two squads of dudes. And no bids.

Figures I'd leave home (and credit card) the day when I find bulk used marine offers (they'd be good, because it wouldn't hurt as much if I hosed up stripping and customizing).

Oh well :(

I just need to finish and Oath Thread or two and in a couple o' months time, I could also be raking in mad dosh for half assing stuff! Hooray!

EDIT: I'd like to note how stupid the flying sword on Cypher is, but you can't blame BTP for that.

Some guy just shared his WIP Malifaux crew to a Malifaux FB group. Sadly, he seems to have taken the train of thought of "Asians are commonly referred to as yellow in coloration. Therefore, Simpsons."



:cripes:

Just hope that Native Americans don't become a thing in Malifaux.
