Can we get one with the 40k font that just says "HAMS"?

(I don't have computer access right now or I'd give it a try.)

This but "SPACE BARBIES"

I looked around a little, but it looks like the 40k font is hard to get ahold of! Which means photoshopping letters together probably, that's unfortunate.

I could probably do something with these last few ideas, but it wouldn't be until tomorrow afternoon.

I don't even know what "the 40k font" is, for starters.

Well, there's this:
https://fontmeme.com/dawn-of-war-font/
The warhammer 40k: dawn of war game's font, supposedly, and it's not free.

There's also this:
which I found on google image search, but the link goes to this https://budgetfasr545.weebly.com/warhammer-40k-font.html which looks very shady to me, the reviews are obviously machine-generated/fake and I am not clicking that download button.

Go ahead and see what you can do tomorrow TOT, if you like! There's no big rush.

What’s up with the J? Does J come up a lot in 40k?

Leperflesh
May 17, 2007

it's also missing a lower-case q, and that lower-case x is weird (is it really an x?) and so is the y and z, so :shrug: gently caress if I know

It borrowed the “th” character and the “ae” “oe” vowel characters from Germanic. Still though, given the artistry on the capital J, I’d assume every 40k box set is called like Jackals of Joffreys’s Jousters or something equally as silly.

Well like, I'm 89% sure that's either a fanmade thing attempting to be similar to 40k, or a totally unrelated font that some 40k nerd decided would serve.

Here I was assuming the 40K font was just the big blocky sans serif font they used for the logo(s).

Yeah maybe it's that! I don't know how to search for that specifically. Googling shows other people looking for the font used in rules text.

Yeah I’d be willing to give a few more of the suggestions a go if I find the time...the problem is finding the time.

I think this one turned out well.



This one, not so much, but I finished it so here it is anyway. It was a real pain in the rear end trying to get the heads recognizable at this size, and they're still probably total mysteries to most people. It's a weird, maybe too esoteric Exalted reference, but whatever.

I just realized I didn't pay attention to the shading on that. I'll be able to fix it pretty easily, but it'll be a couple hours before I'm back at my computer.

I could make them wider, if anyone's interested.

They seem slightly... blurry? Is that from resizing, or font smoothing or something?

I do like them though, they're fancy

Hams is good! But looks faded/dark compared to space barbies

for a d20, that's pretty much a D&D thing now, yeah? I've seen "I only roll 20s" but maybe it could roll a 1 and just say "welp poo poo" or similar

I can probably do something fun with this. And I think I have an idea for improving Pretty Dollies, even though "enjoy paint water" is and will remain the clearly superior option if they're in contention for the painting thread.

I spent more than 15 minutes on these. Does anyone with GIMP knowledge know how I can stop the text from being so jagged and artifacted? This happened during the .gif creation process, so I don't know what knobs to turn







e: I hosed around with some stuff and got it looking less wonky:
