there sure was a lot of slavery in 70s wargaming
why is rapier the only weapon in quotes
i mean these are pretty good odds
they're describing an entire class and socio-economic system of birth and shit
i mean it was so obvious
alright my goal was to actually crack through these issues and hit warhammer lore fast and the alt text is slowing me down so... seeya later
i'm sorry, i need to post this

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

perfect video i can potentially dig for material to annoy @DarkestKale with xD
looooooooolololol
what if i make a little quilt tabard and pin it on them
honestly the actual squat minis back then were... not suuuuuuper far from the reboot either
every time i see palatine i think palpatine
wow these old minis were... rough lololol
today is "how does ork/sob belief warp reality" day

HRMMMMMMMMMMMMM lol
i am buying this at some point lol

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

someone stop me i'm going to end up spending more money on terrain and buildings than minis
*sobs quietly*
i feel like the building setpieces would facilitate mini play more than the big vault interior(s)
the astro mart seems to do both fairly well tho 🤔

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

This is normal right
I knocked out the two women super fast but this half naked dude is giving me a lot of trouble lol

I might try a wash again

Maybe fail less this time

I think actually more failure this time

Too dark holy shit lmao

I do not understand washing. trying brush highlighting to salvage but I think I literally need to redo like half the work

-2/10

@worthlessbums It looked like it was working, although maybe the wash is a little strong? Washes should nicely settle in the recesses if there's a little bit of water in them, and you don't need much.

@kaynSD this is only the second time i've tried a wash but the first time actually managed to dry gray in the cracks. no one has explained how that happened to me yet xD

this time i made it slightly stronger. and it dried so fast and barely drained

i dunno what the fuck i'm doing wrong but so far i would rate washing -2/10 as a technique based on my experiences
