medieval knights do actually look cool you know

and even in the times when real knights did not use firearms, their pauldrons did not interfere much with moving your arms up in front of you, and sideways

you didn't need to make the pauldrons so ridiculous in front

space marines: *getting shanked in their armpits and other weak points*

me: "why don't you use rondels"

it's a little weird how they didn't use faulds for the sob

it looks modern/stereotypically feminine, like a skirt, but is also historically/aesthetically on point for functional knight armor

they also have those repentia or whatever but they don't even wear armor

so. yeah

lololol i saw some art of a space dwarf with a sword held above his head... but the perspective is literally done so his pauldron is hidden on that arm

looooooooooololol

just imagining that artist drawing that out and being like "wait, what?"

it's even worse because his torso is twisted slightly which would make his whatever on his back clip through his shoulder too

it's possible i like looking at how people paint, than actually painting

is this what it's like to watch streamers

my package has been out for delivery since 6am but nothing yet

please say you didn't lose my minis

"you can paint this!"

me, loudly: "YOU can paint this"

oh wait... maybe i shoulda primed all the minis first tho

ah fuck it, still feeling sick and eyes wonky xD

interesting

the feet have pegs on their feet to insert into holes in the bases... but i could also shave those off and totally rebase them

fuck this gorilla super glue is really thick

too thick

TOO THICC

i need to think this through a little more lol

also will priming them before assembly fuck up my tolerances for assembly

I QUICK GOOGLE SHOWS NO RELEVANT RESULTS

KINDA WANNA KNOW NOW LOL

cait's left arm is such a bastard

the little nubbin to fit in the forearm is like a little nothing

lol nick's arm snapped off, prolly sometime during transit

straight snapped off the sprue

strong has a rando nubbin on his right foot and i dunno if that's actually supposed to do something lol

watch me snip it and realize what it's for 2 seconds after

the left arm of this missile launcher synth makes no sense

where the hell does this nubbin go lol
