also i dreaded having to detail TWO guns on one mini

but this was when i started drybrushing and i didn't even really need to two tone basecoat or anything

hitting it with brown and then swiping with that chainmail metal paint works super well and fits in the fallout universe

an orange rust look would prolly fit the aesthetic better, but i think the super mutants in fallout already read like a puddle of mud, color-wise, even in fo4

fo4 has a much better color palette compared to the older fallout games (LOL GREEN BROWN FILTER LOL), but fallout in general, probably because of the 2d iso roots, is super focused on silhouette readability, which i love

fo4 also does a fantastic job with enemy attack animations because there are so many but they blend so well you know exactly what is going on

unfortunately that readability in style is a bit lost in some of the minis

stylistically i do like fallout 1 quite a bit. it's visually interesting in a way fo2 actually is not (whole other thread)

and even they spring purple and yellow at you now and again

but 95% of it is still shades of brown. tan and brown, everywhere

i am sure a large part of it is just the resolution you played it on back then, versus upscaling to a giant monitor these days

also... crts

also because the perspective in fo1/2 was isometric you also had line of sight... mechanics

so darkening areas your character/party had no direct line of sight to could focus your attention. it mattered less that everything was a busy mess because your brain could ignore all the darkened areas

The final four minis from the warfare two player starter set

One zetan and three wastelanders

One of them is holding a stimpak! I think...

The other minis I ordered should be here on saturday

i've been informed that orks are basically fungi 🍄🍄🍄

i will assemble the most ragtag group of renegade motherfuckers

people keep trying to tell me modern warhammer lore is crap and old stuff was better

anyhow i'm reading about the pervert class for dnd in the first issue of white dwarf this morning

in issue #87 of white dwarf (before rogue trader released), they ran an interview with the design team (for warhammer fantasy roleplay)

it's a medieval fantasy game. white dwarf even published a little adventure to play with it, and it's just a straight fantasy game

---

fast forward to white dwarf issue 93, and the front cover is warhammer 40,000 rogue trader: full sci-fi space marines blasting everything lol

and the space dwarves? THOSE FUCKERS ARE STILL MEDIEVAL IN QUILT ARMOR AND SHIT

those poor bastards got like no sci-fi reboot till recently

no wonder the tyranids ate them

reboot space dwarves don't seem to be raging assholes tho so i feel like gw gonna spring a fast one in the future lol

turn them into every other shit faction

they're just space dwarves with functioning stcs that wanna mine shit?

stop worshipping tech as gods tho you weirdos

at first i was like oh finally a faction that can make shit

and then it turns out they just have stcs
