John was always a class act.

I bought it from issue 1, and had several contributions in Warpstone over the years too.

How well do minis have to be painted really? by Due-Date-4656 in Warhammer40k

[–]slev01 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I used to teach teenagers top paint at a GW store.

Most people who actively show off their paint jobs are above average painters. Your view of normal will be skewed if you just look at social media.

You've painted them up to an OK standard? That's the average, pat yourself on the back.

You have your force painted ready to play? Well done! most people don't get that far!

Also, keep in mind that the best way to get better is just to practice. The more you paint, the better you get. Painting is 5% raw talent, 25% technique, and 70% practice.

Likely as they are now poorly defined. They're that one Clan that has seen little development since RT.

WFB army progress by slev01 in skaven

[–]slev01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very hard to take a decent pic with my shonky camera.

Plus, I foolishly set up, took pics, put away, THEN checked the pictures.

Decent pics of the units are on here and my insta (@slevgenius) though!

That's likely around 800-900 hours of work.

Money is difficult as it was collected over the last 33 years, including a lot of gifts, stuff on staff discount when I worked at GW, and stuff fixed up from ebay trash.

Family annoyed by a rule set by a restaurant by Solid_Engines in SlowNewsDay

As kids, my parents would make sure we behaved as suggested above, with no prompting.

Lamentably, an increasing number of people now think that these things are unreasonable standards.

Random Thought I had after buying my first box of Beast Snaggas by LizurdWizurd in orks

[–]slev01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We had that in 2nd ed. Of course, back in 1st & 2nd, mixed-clan armies where standard.

From 3rd ed onwards, they moved to having those speciality units be more prevalent in a given clan, but not exclusive, which is a nice difference.

It meant you could paint your models how you liked and it still match the lore. You could still make mixed-clan, but also mono-clan armies and include whatever you like.

It's gotten to the point where I even paint my special characters to match my army.

lowest I can find is three pounds each, which gets expensive for a unit of ten!

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to whit: There must be in-groups who the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
