the faces infuriate me man lol

i have done no face i'm even vaguely satisfied with so far on a human

32mm scale with realistic human proportions has such tiny ass facial features

i briefly considered painting with a needle

if i could even thin the paint correctly to coat the face without squashing all the features and pooling down the neck or some shit i'd be mildly satisfied at progress

so far 0% success rate

paint is always too thin or too thick

too thin on most areas of a mini is fine, because you can just wait for it to dry and coat it again. tedious, but you just need patience

if you fuck up the face you need to fix the parts it fucked up, and everything is fucked

too thick? scrape that shit off good luck have fun

too thin? pooling. wipe it away and then scrape what you can't wipe away good luck have fun

infuriating

it's also frequently a recessed area (assembled models suddenly sound a lot more reasonable, even if takes more up front work)

get your brush in past clothing, arms, a gun, hair, etc

just the worst fucking thing to paint lol

i feel like i shoulda started with larger models lolol

otoh i loathe the no texture flat mini bases

and bigger models likely means more smooth areas like that

oOOoOoooo i could get that heroforge mini in a larger scale

can't play it in fallout warfare, but style is more cartoony anyway 🤔🤔🤔

ALSO it would let me measure it and see if i /could/ guesstimate a proper 32mm scale for minis from them in the future

hrm i'm confused now. because on the buy section it specifies 30mm scale on a 1 inch base

what is the height character body scale actually do?

ohhhhhh

alright i get it now. you can click on the cog next to height and you get this scaling map

... so actually i can make this more realistically proportioned

just fucking myself

a circle of fucking myself xD

rip their premium plastic has an extended delay

i'll sleep on it xD

So much effort for worse results lolololol

Too lazy to strip the paint and make it not shit

i'll prolly wake up mad and work on them some more
when you see an extremely horny fallout miniature but you want it just for the mini nuke model
hah

they also have a bunch of power armor helmet kitbashes for sale

fallout x 40k confirmed

trying very hard not to search specifically for elder scrolls minis (yet) because i know once i do imma get flooded with fantasy suggestions xD

it's so creepy looking at sprues with just rows of heads lol

like if you walk into a serial killer's home and there are just dolls everywhere

CRITICAL 🧻🧻🧻🧻
GO BACK TO BED
"Friendly Space Cadet that happens to be armed"
kingdom death is the horniest gore horror mini game i've seen yet
alright it's an open question if my fo characters could take 40k heavy hitters, but i think i could moderately easily take sigmar universe xD

"I HAVE A GIANT AXE"

me: *doesn't even look up from my pip-pad, pulls out pistol and vaporizes him*

age of sigmar dwarves might be up @DarkestKale's alley tho
yes 📚📚
the rectangular bases of some of the minis do not spark joy tho

let me eat

the forbidden chocolate squares

bruh wtf

they get to ride dinosaurs in age of sigmar

goddamn man why don't you do this wild shit in 40k
AIRSHIP SPOTTED

know what was a good game

arcanum

this dude about to drop some sick beats on your ass
BRUH I LIKE SCI-FI MORE THAN FANTASY BUT WHY ARE THESE SO MUCH BETTER POSED AND COLORED OVERALL

still don't like the square bases tho

ALTHO

in formation. maybe. MAYBE. i could see the chocolate bars working

also i've seen zero spiders

this is good. verrrrry goooood

someone was saying something looked like stargate the other day

no, this is stargate lololol

kinda don't wanna post the great unclean one but

it sure is a mini

shao khan is tired of earth realm's shit

ah fuck

spiders

sometimes gw selects strange angles to preview their figures with
their 360 drag to spin is also kinda finicky

i forgot: i also have energy shields

do space marines have energy shields? no xD

i have discovered joytoy

it is not what it sounds like

hrnnnnnnnnnnngh

I WANT

grave robber

i should figure out how i wanna display the minis

so i can cap the number of minis

i have a buncha shit on a shelf i need to go through and throw out

like literally old school notes and crap from grade school i think lol

THROW THAT AWAY. ORGANIZE MY SHELVES ON THE BOTTOM OF THAT SHELF

that should be a fair amount of room

i have a bunch of accessory shit from like... three desktops ago lol

BIN IT

The fuck is this lol

alright cleared one shelf

moderate success

i just spent like 10 minutes why this one seller scaled some minis differently before realizing the hqs were bigger

derp. of course

this is useful

mmmm sad

apparently going forward not (all) the fallout warfare minis will come with cool greebly bases

plain bases, noooooo. need to get glue and fake grass and sand xD

stores having clearance sales on digital downloads

wait. this is games workshop made to order minis and... i am 100% this is the really old shit?

did they literally just shuffle out decades old minis for this?

recognizing things is a benefit of getting into a new thing
it is definitely cool they are servicing all the nostalgia
this dude is supposed to be a big deal right
i didn't see any old dwarves in quilt armor tho lololol
@worthlessbums Lol, that's old (90s) Catachan Jungle Fighters

@worthlessbums 'Made to Order' is like 'Print to Order'.

They've converted the old minis to STL files so they can resin print them, would be my guess.

@worthlessbums If you're talking modiphius?

It's cause they lost the rights to Conan.

It actually IS a clearance sale, cause they can't sell it after X date.

@DarkestKale oh yeah it was

rip

@worthlessbums The Conan rights holders are fucking ruthless, apparently.

The Conan CCG got cancelled by them, etc

@DarkestKale sucks. i need modiphius to have that money to make more fallout minis!!

@worthlessbums Welcome to the tabletop industry.

It's all intensely precarious as fuck.

@worthlessbums in 14 carts, better hurry lolololol
@rje that is true for like... all the thirsty shit on etsy lololol
