sicarius posted:The only real offenders that come to mind from PP are models that are playing up their sexiness on purpose or are supposed to be sexy as part of their fluff. Most of the standard "I don't need to be naked to win" models are pretty fair. Both Feoras, Eiryss, both Haleys, etc. Pretty much everything that isn't Satyxis or a Pirate is dressed for battle. Yeah, most of them aren't that bad, they just have wildly impractical footwear choices. Katherine Laddermore and Haley's original sculpt are pleasant exceptions, but most of the named female models are sporting four inch heels. I freely acknowledge that this is a totally stupid thing to sperg about, and I doubt I'd've even noticed if not for them making all of these models a giant loving pain to pin to their bases.

True enough - I don't really notice. None of my female models - Feora and Daughters - have heels. Actually, upon inspection - almost none of them do. I'm just looking at PP's website and only seen one model in heels that isn't Cryx.

Outside of Cryx, with a bit of research, both Sorschas, the NQ Eyriss, Alt Haley, Kara Sloan, Ryan from the Black 13th, Ashlynn, Fiona, and both of the Mage Hunter Assassin sculpts, and both Lylyths. I'll give Madelyn Corbeau a pass since she's actually a whore.

I think the biggest offenders there are probably Kara who could in no way handle that gun in heel and Ashlynn. Ryan is a close second as she's supposed to be kinda butch.

I feel like Rackham is pretty good in this department as well. The chick I got with my AT-43 mech (it came with two pilots) is recognizably female but not ridiculous, for instance. Their Confrontation stuff was pretty solid as well. Obviously there were the Sessairs or whatever those Celt people were called, but pretty much the entire faction just wore scraps and bangles, so it didn't seem weird. I was going to say that Infinity is pretty good, but I think that is kind of faction-specific. The Haqqislam seem good, but I know they have some kind of awkward anime-chicks in there as well.

Never forget that GW actually thought it was a good idea to sculpt and cast this miniature:  They still sell it. Most of the versions you see choose to paint the bodysuit as bare flesh. Thanks GW, I really needed a 'holy poo poo creepy' flag for my opponents!

 That's not bad. Face is a little weird, though. Would a 54mm mini look stupid in a 28mm army? I'm thinking yes. Chainsword palms has got to be the dumbest idea I've ever seen on a miniature. You know you've been playing this game too long when you see a reciprocating segmented blade system and think "chainsword" not "chainsaw".

The base was too small for the first two, and for some reason the sniper is trying to brace his gun on his one leg. yeah Ill def be using a bigger base for them, or model them so they are climbing or keeping their legs closer. The leg sniper guy, I dunno. I might have him standing on something with his brace leg. The infinity sculptors are rad as hell, but they have their moments of "wtf" poses. Most are fixable with a little bend or twist or adding something on the base though.

Here's some poo poo I just finished painting up. Feels inadequate after that dragon. I'll figure out something for basing later. I'm not a big diaroma guy but these guys cry out for one. I'll have to break down and buy the dog mini from hasslefree's online store now since I can't find anything in the states. Jinkies!

Youd probably want to go darker than HWT in some areas, that blue goes from pretty dark all the way through white

I've had unsteady hands for years (partly the legacy of a few misspent years while I was at university) but when I gave up caffeine, they were noticeably steadier once I got through a couple of weeks of craving. I drank a lot of caffeine though beforehand, if you're relatively caffeine-free, I don't know
