I'm definitely here. If there were a "follow user" functionality, you would be one of my follows. Love your work!

Nah, thank YOU for sharing! I never got into miniatures because my creativity and painting skills are worse than non-existent. But I get such a visceral thrill from seeing what people like yourself do with these things.

I didn't start painting till my 30s when I got out the army dabbled a bit before that but 12 years or so of practice but 3d printers make this the best time to paint ever

Love those details! That "Pork Chop" on the forehead of the Awesome is beautiful. Is that a decal or painted?

Those are cool. Is this gamesworkshop? I've been looking for a tabletop game that isnt spacefascism.

I don't think it is. Is it still catalyst game labs? The ip has changed hands several times over the decades.

Edit: it's still Topps with licensing out to catalyst game labs, and Microsoft has exclusive video game rights.

It's catalyst but there's tons of 3rd party stuff 2 it's honestly the best game around this and infinity

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No mate this is battle tech the ones here are made by catalyst games and its way cheaper than games workshop mate also there's loads of 3d prints and 3rd party's have a look at alpha strike that's what a load of us play.

Fine line between fast and dead

No worries mate, we're here. Even I'm here, and I haven't painted anything battle- or skirmish related in forever, doing dioramas now.

Love what you did though.
