I'm fine with that as well. If the girls are in boob armor so it's "obvious" what their gender is, then guys should be topless and in bulging banana hammocks.

Both are male power fantasies.

But then, the whole of 40k is male power fantasies, so nothing changes.

From now on every male 40k should be dressed like David Bowie in Labyrinth, complete with enormous cod piece.

This would both fit in with the John Blanche renaissance GW are currently exploring and help to differentiate the male and female figures from 3 feet away.

I found out about this poo poo right after wandering out of the Love and Desire exhibition at the local art museum, which was all very high brow painterly stuff. It was a hell of a whiplash.

God willing, one day I'll create a work of art with as many dead nazis.

Were banned - they were republished a few years ago.

Also, it's well worth seeing that Chapman Brothers exhibit if you can. It's like Where's Wally, except with Hitler.

NTRabbit: Aug 15, 2012; i wear this armour to protect myself from the histrionics of hysterical women

The Art Gallery of South Australia has a Chapman brothers, saw it myself last year. They did have two, but one must have been on loan, because I can't find it in the website collection. It was the first big acquisition by the new head of the gallery in 2010, he managed to turn the gallery around and was on the cusp of getting us a brand new huge contemporary gallery when he got a job at the national gallery in a fancy new building where the old hospital is being demolished, shortly after which the state government changed and the new one poo poo on the plans for no other reason than it was something devised during the previous government. Instead the old buildings are now an "innovation centre" for venture capitalists to innovate in.

I may be thinking too much about this but I'm really confused about the point this diorama is trying to make. Zombies and McDonalds are both usually symbols and/or allegories of consumerism, depicted here as opposing each other? :confused:

And I don't understand why the nazis are opposing McDonalds, since historically far right and capitalist interests align more often than not.

It is a cool diorama though.

I know it's currently in the national museum in Canberra because I was just there, I don't know how to track it beyond that though.

The nazis are not opposing McDonalds - looking at it in person it was clear that Ronald was voluntarily climbing up to the crucifixes and was A-OK with the whole thing. The nazis were, in the one I saw, climbing up a giant human centipede meat troth to go down a slippery dip into an enormous stack of bloody corpses. The overall vibe I get is that the nazis are in hell and McDonald is the devil torturing them.

Any good tips for getting one of those old metal flag poles straight? Them and spear/lances are one of the worst parts of working with old models.

I still have a chaos warrior I tried to strip with acetone.

It's a blob that spilled out from holes in the paint. The actual paint survived unscathed and now forms a hollow shell in the shape of a chaos warrior.

There's a metaphor somewhere in there. Also, don't huff warpstone, kids.

The only way to make something like that really straight is rolling them. Or replacing them with a more durable rod and pinning that to the mini.

The show always referred to him as a horrible disgusting monster, but I don't think the animation style was very good at conveying it. This, on the other hand...
