GW models ALWAYS looked like men. They can't sculpt female faces at all.
They just took male faces, added some female hairstyles and boob-armor, and called it a day.
This used to not be the case with the first games until GW2 came out and they've looked more male adjacent in female bodies, which is the case of modern vidya these days

GW female models were always a hit and miss. They used to have OK ARTwork for the Sisters, but the models....
Here is some old metal sisters. You can at best argue back than they were just not skilled and now they are doing it in purpose.
But at the best its GW saying "Okey I burnt the food on purpose its not like I can't cook reeeee!"
 
Answer is simple, 40k has bad ass battle nuns, AOS sadly doesn't have such a faction.
Wait, really? Mordheim had Sisters of Sigmar (which I thought to be the Fantasy and presumably AOS equivalent of 40k's SOB). Was this lore just quietly forgotten?
 
Not that surprising. Those yahoos wouldn't have control of that discord otherwise.

Whenever there's SJWs in charge of a discord or some other fan community, expect the actual owners of the IP to be in cahoots with them.
That’s every official discord at this point. They know kicking the troons and fags out is social suicide so they just go along with the insanity. That’s why the smartest move is to just not have a discord. There’s no reason to have one set up because it will either be taken over by troons or they’ll find a way to get it taken down because they’re petty children.

This thing is cool, reminds me of the Violator from Spawn (GW needs to rip-off that design for a daemon) and apparently it’s got alternate parts.

Could be a good Daemon Prince, could see it fitting any of the gods.

I think since it was a faction within a specialist game and not the mainline one, tourists didn't care. Same thing goes with House Escher in Necromunda or the Amazons in Blood Bowl.
 
As expected yellow is just a no go over black paint at any point. Even after four layers of paint and I can still see the black through yellow clear as day. Dark Turquoise and Ultramarine are definitely the stand out colours from the set followed by Bright Green, I'm going to carry on playing around with them a bit mixing different ratios of each colour together to see what results I get from them.
If you want a yellow acrylic that will actually stand a chance at being opaque, the only way is artist acrylics and even then it's got to be a real cadmium yellow. There was some yellow pigment discovered a couple years back that some people were hoping would finally properly replace cadmium yellow but I haven't seen that in a paint yet. Most of the current cadmium free stuff on the market(basically anything sold as a paint for minis, and most stuff from liquitex, golden, etc) is semi opaque at best or it's been loaded up with so much titanium white that it becomes pastel. There are a couple brands out there still using cadmium in their cadmium yellow but good luck finding them in most places.
 
Got the Long War box, did some stuff to the new Chaos Lord sculpt. Power flail, rotfly on his shoulder, deathshroud head, and a nurgle icon.

Doing a trukk, kitbashing has been the most fun I've had with the hobby in a while.

It rocks, Orks and Chaos let you just slap shit together and have a grand time doing it.

For Orks just make it looked riveted and for chaos just make it spikey and organic. I’d like to do a Daemon World board/terrain to do local games on. After chopping through the backlog of course.

Thanks to Daddy Jim’s Rekieta stream last night I had time to sit down and base all my Resident Evil tabletop minis and get 2 boxes of inquisitional agents finally put together. Need to touch up some of the RE model bases a bit better.

I have a bunch of mechanicum terrain between the old kill team starter box and Nightmare box I think all I’d need is one or two big terrain pieces to have a full board range for games or just add gallowdark bits to the set up.

Want to get some sort of trench set up made for kill team at some point, I’ve been collecting wooden coffee stirrers from Starbucks.

I was painting my Emperor’s Children officers club (all the HQs) from the Thrallmaster to the Air Commander to the Lord Executioner to the Lord Commander. It seemed fitting considering Racket’s……… appetites.

I got that Battle for Macragge crashed lander coming as my first bit of “official” terrain, that half-buried Chaos star in AoS is mighty tempting though.

GW terrain can be really good or really bad (and stupidly over priced) but it’s so jam packed with details that it all turns into a massive project. I just based my gallowdark terrain in a rust red and highlighted some doors, screens, and pipes but if I was really autistic I could spend months getting the perfect rusted aged and abandoned interior look down. But it’s just terrain and I don’t think anyone is going to be too bothered.
 
saw no discussion on this what do you think about space marine 2s pre-order crap and how it will launch?

The thumbnail compressed the word "pack" in Ultramarines Champion Pack to look like the word "dick" at first glance.

My first reaction: "well, nowadays either one would check out I suppose."

I definitely need my eyes and/or brain checked.

I got a kick out of the missing Noise Marines from the CSM reveal and playing a third person shooter with the crazy Khorne bunny ears.

I'd be really don't see the appeal to the additional "content" for what little of it there is. I don't want games to be bad but people who pre order games despite crap release after crap release deserve what they get imo.
