>to me the Warhammer look is a strong part of the appeal, but if someone else wants to use different minis then that's just fine and doesn't bother me at all
I understand that, I'm the same really. However, and forgive me if this is too deep lol, I think part of being a good Warhammer opponent is "putting on a good display" for the other player. To me that means a fully painted and based army, and one that's aesthetically pleasing to the opponent even if it's not their first choice of faction. Or in other words the aesthetics are as much 'in the spirit of the game' as the gameplay. So I think being tolerant of other people's unusual model choices is a sportsmanly thing to do, but in return they should try to build an army that their opponents will enjoy seeing and playing against also. Which imo means no Korean MMO style prints lol.

That makes sense. I would never have a go at someone for using the official models (even though I print my armies because I'm totally done with GW). I would hope my opponent was respectful of my army and I would be offering the same respect of theirs in turn. As for cheesecake, yeah that's bad. I tried extra hard to find a vampire countess model that had no whiff of cheesecake about her, couldn't find any, and in the end I digitally sculpted a more vampiric face onto some random fully clothed female baroness model.

I agree with all points. I try and find models that have the warhammer vibe and also a modest amount of detail to paint (and draw the eye to). I actually backed the Kickstarter for those rats too and have the whole set on a hard drive somewhere now, but had already started printing up another creator's (pic) which are decent but not excellent in terms of 'feel', however the creator is always excellent in terms of print quality so it was a nice quick army to print. Probably one I'd think twice about putting before an opponent though, unless the paintjob comes out great.
