I wish I could say the local WFB guys here are much better. I've won more than one best painted by default. Isn't War Machine still an incredibly low figure count? I mean, we're talking <40 figures in most cases, right? That's zero effort and embarassing.

Maybe Legio Cybernetica? If there were actual wargame rules for those - I dunno - and if I actually played the wargame I might field those as is. Sure they look doofy, but there are plenty of official units (like that new Space Wolf gunship) that look no less doofy.

There was also this thing.

The sellers entire ebay store is incredibly mediocre-to-bad conversions priced from $50-$200. Everything looks like it fell in watery mud.

A few days ago, one guy on FoW FB page posted something about feeling "uncomfortable" about playing WWII Germans. I managed to refrain from calling him a few choice words I learned during my tenure on 4Chan, but only barely so. I'd say this kind of sentiment is no less absurd than atheist not playing DnD because there are gods or a Christrian not playing DnD because there a gods (instead of God).

Now, Communist party is illegal in my country, since we had 50 years to see the good it could bring (and any kind of commie sympathizer is Russian puppet waiting to happen). But I would never assume that a commie player on FoW is an actual commie. Probably same with playing SS.

What you seem to forget is that SS lists are usually the super elite lists and some people just like power gaming/saving on miniatures.

...the preceding may or may not have anything to do with the topic at hand.

I guess it might be cultural thing in the US, all the closeted Nazis. At least, I assume most of the stuff I read comes from US player experience. Any Brits, Canadians, non-english speakers want to pitch in?

As a Canadian I wouldn't personally want to play a WWII German army but I wouldn't care if someone else did (assuming that they weren't a neo-nazi). The problem is that neo-nazis are still around in many parts of the world and the nazis did some pretty loving horrific things and that kinda sucks the fun out of pushing little tanks around and rolling dice.

Also, stop getting so mad about tabletop games, it isn't healthy.

E: Half your posts have been about how you get knee-jerk mad about things, I'm worried about you

I also think the figures you're showing are smaller scale here. Think 10-15mm, vs. "heroic" 28mm (closer to 32mm) that's used in GW or Privateer stuff. A lot of the techniques used on bigger figures don't work as well on smaller stuff. I'll also say that dipping came in from the historical side IME-- I'd seen and used it there on stuff well before it became en vogue for alt figures. The move towards 28mm wargames has improved painting dramatically in ancients, and you now see much nicer armies.

The one thing that this thread really shows me is how much "tabletop standard" has increased in the last decade. It's sort of sad to see people showing that Mantis guy or the fatcrons as awful, since to me they're both interesting conversions with average painting. The kind of stuff you'd want to encourage people to do, not mock people for. These aren't bad boob conversions or nazi stuff, they're your average guys doing stuff.

I posted the Fatcrons and Mantis Marine more because they look really goofy rather than because of any technical issues. I'd field an army paintes up to either standard (hell, they're both better than many of my models) but I don't think I'd use either conversion.

I'd post the Fatcron destroyers, which actually looked pretty good, but I'm phone posting.

Honestly, I like the Eldar Solo Cup. Its crude, but for some quick-and-dirty terrain, it isn't terrible. Better than felt squares over books for hills. And books for all other terrain. Like when I was in college.

It has some alright freehanding on the otherside but the entire thing feels like wasted effort because it still looks like a spray-painted cup.

Going for a possessed vehicle with some aspect of body-horror, it's not horrendous. Bodies continuously melting, stitching, seeping and burgeoning through the hatches and the inside of it, you just know the passengers are going to have a swell time! It's like a sexy Dead Space :v:
He actually did an alright job, green-stuffing those things to look like they're melded to the hull. Although, would it have killed him to have equal representation? It takes two to tango, people!

First off, y'all have changed the meaning of the word grognard to mean any number of mutable things in any context. It's basically a repurposed shibboleth for, "not a cool leet gamer like us in our secret club" rather than something that actually has any real meaning.

Secondly, are you actually alleging that I am a victim of molestation, because I think that someone who chooses to spend approx. $30,000 on a paintjob for a Warhammer Army to some random company that they read about online is a loving idiot who deserves everything they got and then some? It's one thing to entrust such a high dollar task to someone whose work you already personally know and respect, but... seriously, how stupid can you be? If you think that was a smart move and not something that deserves public ridicule, then I have some MacGuffins I'd like to sell you, real cheap, great value, just PM me and I'll tell you where you can mail the cash.
