Kwyndig posted:I will never understand people and their use of Germanic images (particularly Nazi Germany iconography) in games that don't even have a Germany. Most people who do this are thinking of the mythical German Warmachine, the elite few holding out against impossible odds thanks to flawless training and advanced technology. They see the cool, badass look of the uniforms, summoning to mind Darth Vader and other fictional villains dripping with appeal and power. They picture underdogs, defeated in history but possibly triumphant under their new leadership. They don't picture murdered victims, torture and gas chambers, the desecration and destruction of centuries or millennia old cultural icons and traditions or any of the other myriad crimes the Nazis committed. They see the Bad Guys from a TV show - sure they're bad, but not like bad bad, and they're still cool right? - and not the horrific people (and they were people. History would be much different if only monsters could do what the Nazis did) who tore Europe and the world apart in ways it is still healing from. In one sense, it's good that these people can exist. That we've moved on enough from the terrible tragedy of World War 2 that people can look at it and see anything but pain and loss and fear. Like the itching feeling of a scab, they are an unpleasant indicator that the world is healing. On the other hand, they are trivializing one of the worst events in human history, turning symbols that still haunt the dreams of entire generations into a misguided cargo cult. They should absolutely be stopped and reprimanded at every turn, taught why they're doing wrong and maybe given some perspective. They're wrong, after all, not evil. Still, it's not your job to be their teachers or parents, and I can't fault anyone for just walking away in disgust or getting mad at them. And then of course there's the edgy "Oooo, I'm playing Super Hitler In Space, aren't you offended?" assholes. gently caress those guys.

So, ignoring the scale and the fact that they're clearly not Tau, these are actually not bad. Like, if they were the size of normal people they would be pretty neat power armor soldiers in a skirmish game.

In the Black Widow video, he seems surprised that he has "somehow" turned Black Widow into a porn figure. I mean, he was just installing a carefully modeled vagina and tits body into a toy, how did it end up a porn figure? It's just so unexpected

Atlas Hugged posted:Sauron is/was a playable unit in Lord of the Rings. But I think the scenario basically called for an entire army to fight against just Sauron. Eh, he's strong but hardly an entire army. 375 points for Sauron (450 with The Ring), and I'd call that overpriced. He's definitely an army-defining centerpiece, but while he'd be the favorite to win against, E.G. Aragorn, he's far from a certain bet. He'd almost always lose against an equal points value of combat heroes

Other than that unfortunate chaos blue or the white paint he uses, most of these are solid tabletop quality. This is about as good as I am, although I usually have bases even though I hate doing bases.

Enola Gay-For-Pay posted:Also, is basing considered mandatory? for my Reaper Bones minis I like to stick them on a plain, black base, usually after removing whatever original base they had. I'm playing on a whiteboard and the terrain is dry-erase marker, so I'm pretty comfortable with the abstract look, and it doesn't draw attention away from the miniature itself. Am I painting miniatures, wrong? Depends on what you mean by "mandatory". Some events require it, typically as part of a 3 color + base minimum. Also, most models look very incomplete with an unpainted base. However, this is mostly bad because people glue the model to the base, paint the model and then don't paint the base. This results in a base with some splotches of paint on it that is clearly just sloppy rather than intentional. Clean black bases don't look that bad. However, I am a fan of an alternative: clear bases. Paint your model before gluing it onto a clear plastic base. Go over the outer edge of the base in black marker or paint. This causes less clash with the table (it's always weird to see desert bases on a snow table, for instance) and still gives you a very clear outline of where Your Model Ends, which is useful for anything that uses templates or base-to-base measuring. Here's an example of clear bases with and without the black rim (not mine):

Cat Face Joe posted:This brings back so many memories of kids trying to paint minis or models with enamel paints and completely loving up their brushes and not understanding how to clean it up. If a kid did these, then they're really okay. This is more "it's a good start, would you like some advice/help on improving?" than "wow that's awful". The problem comes in if it's a grown adult trying to pass these off as a good paint job

Other than the weird glossy look, this is honestly fine. It won't win awards or anything, but the paint job is clean, it uses good shading and there's no gross fetish/nazi stuff. Solid B work here

DiHK posted:Why does it have spare threads on it... It seems pretty clearly trying to ape ww2-era tanks. I'm getting a sherman vibe from it, but can't say exactly why (other than perhaps the color). Spare tank treads were used as extra armor on tanks, and so were sandbags and other "stuff we can strap onto a tank" materials. It's not great armor, but the difference between "completely penetrated front armor" and "mostly destroyed front armor" can keep you alive.

In fact, I haven't met any nazis while playing that game, a few weirdos who took wargaming too seriously, but not nazis. I've met more nazis playing warhammer than playing actual WW2 games that feature actual nazis. Maybe it's harder for neo-nazis to wank over the German army being horribly outgunned in the defense of Berlin than over superhuman space gods?

It's always funny to me to try and imagine people in-universe designing these things. "Yeah, get me like a gem on the middle of my forehead. Gonna look so cool" "And maybe add a laurel wreath to one of my fists, so I can punch victory" "Wait, leaves look weak. Better add in a couple metal skulls to it too" "And that rear end in a top hat Brother Klepto keeps stealing my boot. Can you add in some sort of label to it? Just a big old "KANTOR" right there"

I was pleasantly surprised that most of the comments in that thread are some variation of people being totally okay with the books, plus one person with a reasonably well argued stance of "This isn't an awful thing to happen or whatever, but it is a dumb idea and probably won't succeed". Naturally, there are also a handful of hilariously dumb people with takes like the one posted above

I mean, yeah kinda. Having children present does change the tone of what you are doing, and it is good that there exist no-children-allowed activities or areas. But A) declaring an entire hobby off limits to children is dumb and B) "ya ever gently caress lasanga"? Seriously? That's your idea of fun that you can't have without children present? gently caress off

Mutant Headcrab posted:A while back, this thread was introduced to the Fungeon Master. his channel concept sounds fine: making miniatures on a budget. That's not really what's delivered. These actually don't seem too bad. Like it's not going to win any awards, but the finished hero quest models looked pretty good, and the converted undead knight/priestess were totally fine. Drider and weird nurgle wrestler were a bit bad, but all of this seems like pretty average tabletop miniatures or grab-bag D&D monsters.
