Ugleb posted:I think they were from GW's earlier spaceship game pre-BFG. It was old when I got into GW so was probably released around 1990. Space Fleet. Released in 1991. To roll to hit you had to throw your dice into the box lid which had a square grid printed on the inside. Any dice that landed in the middle square were a hit. Any that landed in the middle and rolled a 6 were criticals.

Leperflesh posted:The drawings must have taken ages to do, it's amazing to think that this was somehow cheaper than printing photographs of their models... although there are photos of some models, beginning on page 41. A lot of the drawings of minis were simply the concept sketches that the sculptors would do as references before they started actually sculpting. Another reason is that cheap printing techniques in the 1980s required very high contrast for images and line drawing were guaranteed to have that, while photographs (especially analogue ones on film) were not. Finally, there were a lot of artists kicking around GW who could knock out those kind of illustrations in very short order and who were producing those sketches for various roleplay supplements anyhow.

One of the good things that GW did for the miniatures gaming hobby as a whole was to raise the bar in what professionally painted miniatures looked like at a time when poo poo like that was all you ever saw - even in manufacturer's catalogues or rulebooks. Outside of serious diorama hobbyists who were all about rivet counting historical stuff, no-one was really trying to push forward painting as a craft in the mainstream until then. I remember having one of the editions of Battlesystem (the AD&D mass combat rules), and in the back was a section about miniatures and painting. The examples were loving horrible. They had closeups of Elf faces to show you 'the incredible detail' but it looked as though someone had thrown a couple of fried eggs at someone with severe burns.

Indolent Bastard posted:Is this offer still viable? Will you be going back? I live there so this offer is always available for the foreseeable future. Here's a bunch of photos of stuff I picked up for guys in the UKMT just before Xmas. The markets sell all kinds of stuff and the stock constantly changes but most uniform things - jackets, hats, flying helmets, etc are always available as are insignia, propaganda badges and other trinkets, instruments from tanks and jet-fighters, various kinds of optics including cameras, binoculars and so forth. Costs vary from a few cents for pin badges, a coupel of dollars for insignia (cap badges and so on), the same for posters, hats run to about 10-20 bucks; jackets, clocks from MiGs and working mechanical things are around $40+. Postage runs about $15 a kilo registered post to Europe/US. Drop me an email at iainz0r at the mail service operated by Google with a budget and some idea of what you are looking for. I can do grab-bags of random stuff if you like too.

Gorkamorka Orks were particularly bad because the short legs and overly wide shoulders combined with big weapons made them very top heavy - particularly as a lot of figures were still metal casts.

Regarding the camera, I checked out the movement of the controls and everything works. I didn't put any film through it though and I'd not be surprised if the seals were poo poo (they were often poo poo even when brand-new) so that there may be light leaks all over the place. If you plan on using it as a camera rather than as an ornament or prop. there's an enthusiast site that might be useful to you. You can also head down to The Dorkroom and

JcDent posted:In unrelated news, I find this guy's dolls slightly creepy I have a friend who is reasonably famous in the ball-jointed doll scene. Via her Fb page I've seen just how many hosed up people there are in that hobby. It starts at Otherkin and just gets weirder and less benign the deeper you go. The Russian ones are (inevitably) the worst. A lot of white-supremacist, asatru-with-human-sacrifice, extreme-BDSM, loving ... doll collectors.

SRM posted:Honestly? That's as good a paintjob as you're really going to see on them. They're just horribly sculpted, I've painted a ton of them. That's a very lovely paintjob. The Studio armies were much, much better than that, I'm guessing it's some staffer army photo. The naked little girl in the front of the Daemonette unit was one of the old Chaos Familiars.

I'm getting flashbacks of trying to stick together those loving Cephalyx Overlords and eGaspy from Warmachine. gently caress you PP for cutting up your greens so that you have long, thin, fragile components with the tiniest possible contact area. I am triggered by this.

Zark the Damned posted:The Fighting Tigers of Veda are always an inspiration. That guy sent in his homebrew codex to the Studio while I worked there. At the time, one of my jobs was to answer all the fan mail (which was all snailmail back then as we didn't even have an internal email system let alone any connection to the web) so I was the guy who had to tell him that no, we weren't going to make his Indian-themed Lady Marines into an official chapter. At one point he had my rejection letter on his website.
