YF19pilot posted:As an aside, can you link to the guide? I want to look it over, maybe something to try my hand at if I ever decide to put together another GW model. http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?210465-Arnan-317th-quot-Death-s-Own-quot-iPaint-s-IG-Log/page9 Starts on there and goes on to the next page of the thread. To the kind comments, thanks. I do think it's a point of unspiration though when I see someone doing a scratchbuild or similar that displays so much precision, and loving talent, and then the guy goes and does it all over the place so it's obviously not taking him that long, etc. It's depressing - why/how are some people so loving great at this? I'm talking dudes who scratchbuild (good) titans, or some custom made full terrain boards. It's amazing what you can see these days and I think it sort of warps our perception of everyday 'good' modelling.

mango sentinel posted:Balkenkreutz is a symbol, like the similar Iron Cross, that was just a German military thing and in a vacuum doesn't explicitly constitute a hate symbol. I'd keep an eye on that guy of he were in my LGS though. It's not quite an outright swastika, you're right. As pointed out, the German military still uses very similar insignia. If the dude is a German, it's no more than out of place, just like USA striped marines or having British regimental insignia. But given the historical interaction with the German military by English-speaking nations, I would definitely raise an eyebrow at someone in the uk or USA who picked that particular bit of out-of-place history to paint on their spacemen!

Kabuki Shipoopi posted:I feel like storm troopers or G.I. Joe dudes would be alright. Whenever I see anything Sonic, I immediately associate it with terrible deviant art fetish cartoons and some kind of depraved role-playing. Schadenboner posted:I've actually always wanted to do up some Solar Aux in a Stormtrooper-like color scheme (probably more ivory than straight white though?). I think the visual reference would be clear enough while still working with the model and it would provide sort of a grimdark take on the noblebright Star Wars setting. Oh, I'm completely on board with using colours from other sources. I just mean weird conversions where things end up half one and half the other - I've seen marines with SW helmets, weird modifications to the shape of the legs, and red-painted tubes as lightsabers in place of power swords. Never works imo. (I'd get pics, but I'm at work)

Like are there stats for that monster back there? Sorry if this is something I should know; I'm a heathen that plays Warmahordes instead because I like the mechanics better. Rules might have been published at some point - the largest model FW sells, which is a 'Warlord Battle Titan', stand 2 foot or so tall, costs over £2k, and is probably only half the size of that scratch-build. It does have rules and is a large army in itself.

Ilor posted:The Molotok is a sniper rifle in Metal Gear Solid and, sure enough, it is in Infinity too. While I love Infinity and agree that its naming conventions based on historical references from across the globe are at least as good as nounverb conventional fantasy names, a Molotok in the game is actually a light machine gun (almost identical to the Spitfire). I admit the game could condense and rationalise its armoury and collection of skills. I hold out hope they will do so. While some of their current-edition design choices are pushing the balance envelope, and they haven't handled the PR aspect of recent changes very well, I still have a lot of faith in Corvus Belli as a design studio. The second edition of Infinity (we're on 3 now) had reached a point where some rules/loopholes were known and abused. When the new edition released they elegantly solved a lot of those issues and produced an unusually polished game. While people can quibble with how easy the rules are to process at a glance, once you understand the core concepts, you can look through the rulebooks and find a concrete answer, with examples, for almost anything. It's an excellent example of a game which embraces complexity.

Atlas Hugged posted:I don't really care about gun barrels because I hate using my hand drill unless I have to and at a glance a dot of black surrounded by the color of the barrel is at least functional. But man do I loving hate mold lines. I buy a lot of models used and no one ever bothers to clean these. I have a friend who is a legit pro painter and the models he sends to people still have obvious mold lines on them. His clients don't seem to be discerning enough to notice. They just want a painted army for the table I guess. I am a fairly thorough mold-line remover and while I'd never skip it, I am consistently amazed just how much time it takes up. Sure, for a single infantry model or a squad, it's not too bad. But especially when plastic kits are increasingly complex and come in a huge number of parts (I normally complete scraping mold lines before assembly) it just feels like forever. Scraping all the terrain in a Dark Uprising box is just soul-destroying. I've started a Gang Stronghold box now and I feel like I've barely got the strength to carry on.

Mouse Business posted:http://impetuousorders.blogspot.com/2012/04/sexism-in-miniature-worst-of-infinity.html?m=1 So I am a keen Infinity player. As a game it absolutely rocks and I actually love a lot of their more serious hard-sci-fi designs. Most of the models I like are male and this is the reason. Human genders are dimorphic in Corvus Belli's world view. You get male power armoured super-soldiers who are awesome, barrel chested power fantasies, and then the exact same unit female version is a wasp-waisted waif in high heels. It seriously pisses me off. Unfortunately the creepy anime side seems inextricably linked to the designers' idea of the game. While they have lessened the overtly absurd miniatures over the years, the gender difference and built-in 'combat heels' on all female armour up to and including giant robot suits seem like they're here to stay.

Ugleb posted:This is totally fair. There is a lot of nice stuff in the range, so it's a shame they pander to the anime stereotype when it comes to any female sculpt. Interesting question. I have to say that when I've gone to a wargaming club or similar to play Infinity, I can remember seeing only one woman player over years (although I don't get to go to clubs often due to my work pattern), and that's the same woman who is the only female player I've ever seen at a tournament. Although she is now a strong player in her own right, she was to be fair brought into playing Infinity by her boyfriend, who's one of the best and keenest players I know. So not exactly a telling sample size. Is this unique to Infinity? A lot more people play Warhammer and other GW games in the UK, and even around those games I've rarely run into any women players. Maybe I'm unlucky in my gaming scenes, but it still seems like an overwhelmingly male hobby to me.

Desfore posted:Ok, I know she was kicked off the show for being trans-phobic/homophobic, but this American flag, Eagle flying, unbridled patriotism is going beyond the normal "Own the libs" poo poo into actual fetishism. This doesn't even seem to be for SWLegion game pieces, it's just weirdo fan idols of her. I'm no expert on this, but I don't think the actress in question is even known for saying anything particularly patriotic/nationalistic? It's just a weird alignment in the modern culture wars. Like if you've got an issue with trans people, you are assumed to feel very strongly about loving America, and if you're chill and not really any kind of -phobe, it's assumed that overt patriotism makes you uncomfortable?

Oh, I get all that and I'm sure she is fully on board with all sorts of nonsense. But it's still odd that the american flag and all these eagles and such are taken as symbols of that. I mean, they're also technically the symbols of all the other people in the country who don't share those views.

Interestingly, the UK is on Amnesty International's list of countries which allow child soldiers, because you can sign up for the forces at 16 (although you can't be sent to a warzone until you're 18).

NC Wyeth Death Cult posted:Oh Ian is one of the two people redoing the rules for third edition epic and making it coherent. I am stealing so many of his necron designs for my own army. If this is the guy I'm thinking of, he is (or was a few years ago) the guiding oracle for Infinity rules. I think he kept the original wiki before the manufacturer took it over officially. At any UK tournament, if there was some bit of minutia under dispute, you could just look up and go 'there's Ian, ask him'.

I need the money so I guess I'll have to do it, and then deny that I had to do anything with that mini. I'd like to tell myself it's artistically supportable in the same way that classical nude statues aren't obliged to be modelled like Ken dolls. (I know, I know, they often had real clothes hung on them) But I fear that's not the dynamic here. How specific was he about the appearance he wanted? Flaccid or erect? I have a morbid need for details here.
