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
hear me out, what if i drink while painting
i'm afraid i'll accidentally drink paint water tho xD
oh the come pre-painted too? damn
good price
they have a wendigo but it does not look like a fo76 wendigo
it's part of a different series, not sure what for
i feel like i should try and build some of this myself first
that way when i fail i'll think "ninety bucks for that is a fucking steal"
alright imma paint those 3 settlers
prolly not the zetan till i get that white paint
I might try a wash again
Maybe fail less this time
I do not understand washing. trying brush highlighting to salvage but I think I literally need to redo like half the work

@kaynSD @worthlessbums don't listen to Keith, Bums, Laser Cutters aren't good for this!
...
What you ACTUALLY want is an emulsion printer, which are hazardous and fiddly, but perfect for miniatures work!
@worthlessbums short answer? The 40K setting is even more spiritually connected than Dune or Star Wars is, and they all tap into the impossible power source that is the Warp.
Orks are all mildly psychic bioweapon fungus with genetic memories and an impossible pain tolerance. Used to be in funnier times that theyd literally be able to do the impossible like use crude 2x4s with the word SHOOTA om the side as guns but thats been pushed aside in favour of them just being all a little bit psychically linked (and it all manifesting as a terrible coherence, like a highly dangerous pub crawl meets football riot called a WAAGH)
Faith in 40K directly taps into the Warp and its not just the four Chaos Gods that live there. The Emperor's fractured consciousness is there too. HOPEFULLY that is what is answering the prayers of the SoB, which are otherwise indistinguishable from other unsanctioned acts of dangerous psychic phenomena from other humans in the Imperium.
