That Land Raider is sad because you can see a few spots where actual effort was applied. The yellow on the cupola and sponson sights looks pretty good, but then they switch to splashing airbrush.

Jesus H Christ, Level 4 is $17/figure and that first unit is 30 dwarfs. FFFffffuck. I feel really bad for that guy.

El Estrago Bonito posted:I'm still mystified how people are paying him like 15 bucks plus a model for basic troops when the industry standard is 5. That "industry standard" either assumes sub-minimum wage or that the figures are totally done in 30 minutes.

It's pretty terrible. I know a girl who recently gave up on doing commissions. She did amazing work but refused to charge anywhere near what she was worth. I think the final straw was when an army she'd knocked herself out completing showed up back at her game store months later - with some Storage Wars type lot-buyers asking if it was worth anything. I think that pricing standard comes from people unwilling to charge their "friends" or drastically under-valuing their time ("I'm compensated in fun!") but either way paying $5 for figure's worth of effort and skilled labor would be completely unacceptable anywhere outside of this damaged hobby.

The "fixed" one is basically what he asked for, with the bloodbath on the first rank of troops. I personally think it looks like rear end, but giving the client what he wants isn't something to fault them for.

I suspect that the Imperial Guard were originally envisioned as using modified historical figures from other companies, but then Games Workshop happened.

That poo poo pisses me right off, while at the same time I'm OK playing historical games that have actual model Nazis in them. I've been trying to put my finger on why that is - I think it has a lot to do with the person's motivation.

I really don't think they're trolling. I think they're exalting brain-damaged misconceptions and are itching for the opportunity to start a dialogue about the clean Wehrmacht and how "Actually, both sides had heroes..." and really Stalin was the villain, and  But the period is legitimately fascinating: It starts with horses and bolt-action rifles, and finishes with near-modern tanks and night-scoped assault rifles. It's full of real-life heroics and drama, a parade of examples of humanity at our best and worst. Of course it's compelling, and you can fill your brain with trivia that might eventually be relevant. Sorry to steer things heavy for a minute.

Rapey Joe Stalin posted:"I'm not comfortable playing the Germans" reeks of hypocritical hand-wringing bullshit. There is no legitimate way someone wouldn't want action figures of the assholes who shot his grandpa, no way at all no sir. E: Gaming has a massive shortage of respect for others' boundaries and comfort levels. Going 4chan on someone because they're uncomfortable playing on team "literally threw millions of human beings into ovens" is not a sign that you're better-adjusted.

You're dead right about the 40k imagery. A few weeks ago my wife asked why we own so much "Nazi poo poo" and I eventually worked out that she was talking about some Warhammer promo material I'd left upstairs. That was awkward.

Historicals run the same quality spectrum as fantasy/sci-fi, with the advantage that most of the time your color choices are picked out for you. You also see more terrible Warhams because the population is way bigger and much more internet savvy.

Thinning your paints can be as simple as leaving your brush wet and mixing it in on your pallet. If you have any clamshell-packed miniatures that came with foam (like Warmachine comes in), you're 90% of the way to having a wet pallet. Cut a square of baking paper to fit, wet the foam, and squish it into the blister with the baking paper.

Helldump used to be a sub-forum devoted to reposting and ridiculing stupid poo poo goons said from within the forums. It actively made the site worse. Instead of the most toxic elements getting called out and refuted, they were passively-aggressively mocked behind their back in a sub-basement by a clique of mean girls. Today it mostly refers to bringing in someone's out-of-thread comments. Quoting someone's AI posts with "Well look how dumb you are about cars!" in D&D, for example. But making fun of someone (or their models, I guess) from the safety of a thread they likely aren't reading is just bad form.

Abaddon the Despoiler awoke after the Craigslist hookup, alone. Lady Lu was gone! And so was his stash, some Dave Matthews CD, all the change in the laundry jar, his cellphone, and the daemon sword Drach'nyen.

That's definitely a tinboy as identified above. It would probably be worth quite a bit to the right collector, except someone converted it with a Lego.

They were decorations on a DEldar character's battle barge. The Sister of Battle is marginally redeemed by the fact that she's concealing a piece of shrapnel behind her back to shiv her way to freedom. The other one is at least wearing a top (and isn't the LE exclusive nipples-out version.)

I've definitely seen topless ones, but those could have been conversions I guess. E: I found some pictures of them in bare metal. I vaguely remember them being for sale at Games Day one year, but thinking they looked dumb as poo poo. One sold on eBay for $62, so I probably should have bought ten of them. moths fucked around with this message at 23:32 on Jul 15, 2015 |

That was the line that "digitally painted" (colorized) their online catalogue in a paint program. I don't know why I remember that. I should have bought many when I had the chance.

TheCosmicMuffet posted:Drawing a line somewhere in the middle of the tropes and saying 'this one does not belong', is just how you come at it. The point you're missing is that the Infinity line is explicitly drawn between male and female characters. It wouldn't be an issue if everyone was sexy and it was a game about hot future male, robot, and female strippers. It's casually assigning women sexy Halloween versions of the male uniforms that rubs folks the wrong way.

FWIW some of the most priceless pieces were conspicuously absent from the ISIS museum smashing video. One theory is that the "best of" collection was flipped on the black market to pay for more guns, bombs, and video cameras. There's an FBI warning issued about it.
