Convince him to stop, as it's unbefitting of a proud chaos warrior, and then buy the poor wretch another drink. Then for a little while he can forget he's part of AoS.

>>51796474
What's the point in this release? I mean who will buy it, old players who was sended off, or newcomers who know no shit about Slambo?

I know is because nostalgia and shit but those arms look weird as fuck, he old mini had a pass because old

Rolled 6 (1d6)

well

Since Slambo is doing the slapping, it is safe to assume he is charging.

Since that is the case, he will average 7 attacks between both charges. Half hit, and 2/3rds wound so 2 wounds at -1 rend.

The most human thing is a freeguild archer with a 6+ save that is rended though.

So in summary, Slambo slaps my GF's ass. My GF and an adjacent person are now dead, the club is in panic and Slambo while likely murder everyone until SWAT arrives. Which is the main reason I don't go clubbing.

>Unfortunately infinity models look like dogshit with a mediocre paint job, which is what 90% of players are capable of

How to get a solid tabletop-quality paintjob with infinity models:

1) Apply basecoat
2) Apply wash

And I'm not even talking about painting with glazes which can get you a very nice painted tournament army in a few days. One of the really good things in Infinity is that models don't require that much effort to make them look good.

And people who can't do basic shit like this won't be able to paint any army, be it 40k or AoS or whatever else.

>>51800475
>Unfortunately infinity models look like dogshit with a mediocre paint job
This can't be more wrong tho. Infinity looks pretty decent in base+wash due to the sculpts being crisper

>>51800402
GW has never had the best product, at least when it comes to quality of cast, composition and details (more recent big plastic kits have been pretty non-existent in miniature industry). What they've had over competition has always been marketing and brand recognition.

Except it doesn't you disingenuous moron. Power Armor in 40k is incredibly smooth and bulky with ginormous pauldrons and plainly obvious components of medieval armor exaggerated in size. The Starship Trooper armor (which only appeared like so on the cover of that edition), looks nothing like pic related. It's covered in texture, lacks pauldrons, and doesn't terribly resemble plate armor at all. There is a slight inspiration, but that is only in the tubing on original beakie armor.

The fucking hobby is about assembly and painting of miniatures, followed by maybe using them on a tabletop wargaming. If you aren't customizing your dudes, or you can't, then you're fucking doing it wrong or the game is wrong. This hobby is built upon cutting apart miniatures and restructuring them from the ground up. 40k especially is built upon the concept of completely customizing and converting your armies with bits, to the point that people can often make better HQ's out of scrap than the monopose models.

>>51801106

RT armor has all of the components of plate armor. In fact it's more obvious in some cases. The only exception is poleyns (kneecaps).

The only similarity is the tubing. The armor texture is completely different, as are its components, and the helm is a direct medieval helm given a sci fi spin.

>WHere? Looks more closer to generic "armored skafander" from 80th sci-fi.
>Pauldrons
>Proper couters
>Spaulders under the Pauldrons

Then you've got the cuisses/greaves/vambraces etc that are obviously common in all sci fi. But while not present yet in RT armor, just later in the next edition there's the addition of true breastplates with plackarts. Although these actually go the wrong way, I still give points to GW for giving marines something you could bend down while wearing. These are also simple pieces, not really having any excessive edging or shit tacked on them besides adornments like the Aquila or stone details. The plates themselves are simple in construction and nice and smooth.

>>51801231
>Seriously?
Yes, seriously. Comparing bad sculpts from one range to good sculpts form another doesn't mean the company is suddenly bad. GW is in the top tier along with Corvus Belli in that both are obviously miles ahead of Privateer Press and Mantic. For example, the IG and Space Marine kits aren't great kits and I'd rate most of the ehavy infantry and TAGs above them, but the TAG pilots are nearly always utter shit in my opinion, far below most of GWs good models. Plenty of GW models stand up well compared to Infinity miniatures which seem to be the go-to comparison, the Dark Eldar and Sylvaneth ranges specifically.

>>51801222
>Because I play tabletop games, idiot.
I doubt that considering you're nothing like any wargamer I've ever seen.

>Then why it's called wargame?
Because it's about taking your pimped up HQ and smashing the other dude's HQ in a challenge that may or may not be hopeless. Along with your precious key units you spend a lot more time on than your infantry getting the spotlight as they attempt to do their jobs and win the game.

>Wait-wait, you seriously talking about simple kit-bashing with such elitism?
Because it's an endemic part of the fucking hobby. If you don't do it, you're not a wargamer, you're a fucking casual who might as well just get some prepainted shit like X-Wing.

>And about Warhammer while it's obvious CoD equivalent in industry?
Except 40k is one of the single oldest parts of the hobby and has survived where virtually everything else went and died in its time alive. The only thing really comparable to 40k in age as a popular game with good models is Battletech. On the other end you've got Historicals who barely change models, but will often change the rules given those come and go. And anything pre-modern era is customizing the shit out of their army.

Again, that's a single comparison of a single model.

To return to Infinity though a lot of their models have a problem with faction identity, which is something GW nails. With the exception of Tohaa, who are also probably the worst Infinity range, their models have very little on them that informs the viewer of their faction identity. If you handed a layperson a sheet of GW miniatures and of CB miniatures and asked them to sort them into factions they'd have far more luck with the GW ones than the CB ones.

As an aside those xenomorph sculpts also aren't brilliant, they suffer from the same issue CB ones tend to in that the poses are weirdly stilted and not natural feeling. A couple are very good like the lunging warrior alien but overall they feel lifeless and stilted, almost like taxidermied aliens.

>>51801394

>Faceless, armor clad soldiers and brutal, green skin, monster aliens both wielding hyper exagerated guns and weapons.

Could they not even have like a 14 year old displayed as aposed to two 10 year olds?

>>51801483
>their models have very little on them that informs the viewer of their faction identity

Maybe it has something to do with 6 out of 8 feaction being human? If you look at the modern uniform it looks arr the same for the untrained eye too, you know. And yet CB did a good job at making them distingushable. Keep in mind that it's harder to do then you don't have space alves, space orks and other fantasy trash.

That's no excuse, Infinity is filled with all sorts of retarded non human designs and they still can't create proper faction identity.

>>51801730
Nice cherrypicking there. But if you can look the actual details (hard with your righteous hateboner, I know), you can easily pick details that connect them to Nomads alongside the theme. But I guess if it's not "fantasy trope IN SPACE", your average teenage 40kid can't comprehend the more subtle differences.

Right, so this thread has reinforced an important lesson:

People who argue about models are retarded, and people should play warames for the rules instead.

You can play a wargame with blank bases and it operates exactly the same, no one gives a shit how pretty your models are.

>>51801847
That's not the point, I'm not saying Corvus Belli minis are bad they certainly are not.

Some asshat just said there wasn't any "fantasy trash" in infinity and trying to excuse the lack of faction identity by saying it's more realistic.

>>51801912
But that is a big reason for more limited variety.

>>51801959
The fact that they unevenly apply their lack of realism is what causes most of the factions to look samey internally inconsistent, they're trying to have their cake and eat it too in regards to making realistic and fanciful miniatures.

Nope, I listed 7 40k armies (Space Marines, Dark Angels, Blood Angels, Space Wolves, Grey Knights, Deathwatch, Chaos Space Marines)

>>51802190
Welcome to /tg/, bro

>>51802249
Which all come from a same entity called "pace Marines".

Can you say the same thing about the factions in Infinity? No.

>>51800854
>bad games don't sell

>>51802260

So what? It's almost half from total number of 40k armies.

>>51801106
You fucking newfag.

>>51802160
>Panoceania robo-dudes
Lots of antennaes, sleek armor design, distinguishable visors with multiple "eyes", flashy things on the armor.
>Hackislam robo-dudes
Outdated, angular and crude design, old-fasioned looking armor vests.
>NotChina robo-dudes
Masks and visors look somewhat vaider-ish, some are animal-inspired. Antennaes are placed on the back instead of being put on the head like Panoceanian ones.
>any other faction robo-dudes
Ariadna doesn't have any robo-dudes at all. Some of the Nomads have a visors without any distinctive features and don't have any "eyes" at all, others use more "muscly" armor that Panoceanians and Chinese. Aleph and Aliens are pretty self-explanatory.

Not even talking about every faction having different backpacks, shoes, weapons, hacking devices etc. In fact, when CB publishes another snipershot, people are almost all the time guess what faction the model belongs, like "oh, this is an Ariadnan gauntlet" or "this boot looks like it's Panoceanian".

Those aren't things that an unfamiliar person will notice, but still, it proves that infinity manages to keep diversity among factions without humping in a whole armies of orks and elves.

>>51802299
We are not discussing why 40k has cloned armies (laziness and profit), we are discussing why Infinity does even though those armies don't share a common ancestor in fluff. The answer of course is: poor faction design.

>>51801261
>Mantic
A good part of Mantic's undead range shits over GW. The only range where the quality is really bad is Basilea.

On the other hand, all infinity minis have better sculpts than 40k. And in the case of Fantasy, Avatar of War, Mominiaturas and Scibor all shit over GW

In the end those are all minor details that an unfamiliar person won't notice, as you said. On the other hand a newbie who comes into a GW store will see multiple vastly different armies to choose from. And that's the problem with Infinity factions.

Mantic's undead are excellent (mostly, a few characters are hinky) and the Basileans are legitimately bad, everything else is lukewarm OK though, it's not great and if GW released it there would be half a dozen threads posting pictures and an OP just going 'HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA' but it'd good for the money and resources.

However, good for the budget and good objectively are different things and Mantic models generally simply aren't very good.

You wasn't in previous thread about Slambo model?

I will try to interrupt this shitpostfest.
Is it me, or Slambo just doesn't fit AoS setting which is looks more like DC new gods and Marvel Asgard (but with mortals for some reason)?
Also, in previous thread some anon mentioned that the whole setting was inspired by Kirby's works is there any proofs?

>>51802027

There is, I'm not struck on the new model so I won't buy it but if other people like it then that's fine.

But this idea that its a great model or something is false. It looks worse than the 80's on because he's huge and has these massive open plates. The one from the 90's that I posted was better because it was basically an updated Slambo using the technology available but keeping the spirit alive.

You literally picked only the oldest, most out of date shit, and nothing made in the past like 4 years. That's like picking on an adult because they said stupid shit and had a mullet as an 8 year old.

I like GW models. I like Corvus Belli models. but trying to say infinity models are shit or don't have faction identity is just too much of a reach. Infinity figs are beautiful in a different way than GW figs.

It's ok not to like weeaboo robot games, but don't act like skulls on skulls riding blood drop wolves are some transcendent manna from heaven.

>>51811449
>implying Infinifags don't pick GW HQ models to claim Infinity is cheaper per model

None of the mini companies do wargaming right desu. The ideal wargame would be inbetween infinity and small armies in 40k.
Notice when GW was in its golden era the army sizes were a bit bigger than skirmish.

>>51811562
I'm not claiming anything on price. Infinity is different. It costs less because it's a skirmish game. Warmachine costs next to nothing to play too but I'd rather take a hammer to my balls than paint those models.

GW figures aren't cheap. Many other games are cheaper, model per model. Lets be honest, though, the only reason to argue price is dick waving. This hobby is basically throwing money in the fireplace no matter how you look at it.

I like a lot of infinity models and love my faction. I like many GW models and love some of their dramatic figures. Both companies make good models with different design philosophy. It's just that fucking simple.

>>51811614

Just play larger games of Infinity or smaller games of 40k. Why is everyone so stupid?

>>51811651
Holy cow can you be any more of a retard?

>>51811651
infinity doesn't really scale up too well, honestly. It's sweet spot is like 8-16 models give or take based on faction. That's part of why it can have so many fiddly rules: you aren't dealing with many figures, letting you have more focus.

>>51811692
Pretty much this for infinity. On the warhammer side massive armies are not only expensive but practically unmanageable.

>>51811636

>Warmachine costs next to nothing to play too

I play Warmachine and that's a bold faced lie.

Malifaux is the wargame you look to if you want something that's "cheap" while also having good rules and an active playerbase.

>>51812131
well... once upon a time warmachine cost next to nothing to play. I know that kinda changed int he garg/superheavy era.

It's a shame, though, as an ex hordes player. The old hordes sculpts were... well, not amazing, but decent. And they just kept pushing it and pushing it, more and more cartoony until now that shit looks like saturday morning cartoon models. at least plastic jacks don't look fuckall retarded, but like.. anybody who targets GW for bad proportions would just have a stroke if they really looked at any hordes shit.

>>51812177

It only got the cheap reputation because for a while it was the only real alternative to GW, but enough years have passed that other such as Arena Rex, Guildball, Malifaux, and other games now hold the cheap pricepoint.

Colossals never actually were responsible for bumping the game's pricetag to be competitive since outside of a few exceptions they were mostly just flashy showpiece models with meh rules, especially now in MKIII.

>>51812131
>Malifaux

If I wanted to play with cards instead of rolling dice I'd go to a casino!

Wait

>picking your hobbies based on what saves the most money

You're all fucking idiots. The only things that matter when you pick a wargame are

- Do people around you play it, if you are interested in more than just painting?
- Do you personally like the models?
- Can you afford it?
- Can you stomach the rules?

That's all that fucking matters. Having your bank account be higher by $10 every time you buy something is fucking POINTLESS
