Thread 96937251

Hahahaha

im not feeling them man.

>>96937274
the hair all going in the same direction was a very strange decision

Yeah, these are pretty cool. I'm actually not disappointed.

>>96937328
That’s how wind works anon

>>96937346
The peasant hair is going a different direction

>>96937419
peasants have their own inferior wind, they can't share the wind of noblemen

whats up with gw making chaff busy as all fucking hell to paint? Id buy this box if all the archers were shirtless.

>>96937474
That's all warhammer models these days. The fact of the matter is that majority of warhammerfags don't even paint the models. They're consumerist pigs who get baited by "high detail" and "impressive centerpiece" models, preorder them, and then leave them on the shelf to rot for ages. GW adores this type of warhammer fan since they'll never complain and just want to blindly shovel pretty toys into their shopping carts instead of actually thinking about whether they will paint these or use them in games

>>96937251 (OP)
they look retarded

>>96937251 (OP)
>>96937332
>suddenly GW doesn't feel like painting half of their models black

>>96937597
They even went as far as making an article of how they specifically learned how to paint Respectful Asian Skintones

Why are none black?

>>96937251 (OP)
how are british people supposed to feel represented if a third of their armies arent brown?

>>96937251 (OP)
If you look closely at these and the jezzails, you'll notice they only painted half the models you're looking at... because the other half are copy-pasted
I'm guessing GW ran out of time

The exact same details, the exact same base, the exact same angle

>>96937597
Segue:
They seem to be more picky about when they do female bodies
I'm surprised this horde unit was given explicitly female models rather than all ambiguous Type A bodies with bulky fabric shirts
It looks like the standard bearer is required to be female, like how the trumpeter appears to be required to be male

>>96937251 (OP)
ARRR ROOOK THE SAME

Fucking lamo, they couldn't even paint a whole unit and had an intern copy the same dudes in photoshop to make it look like there's more.
Absolute state of the Chian world

>>96937251 (OP)
TO DEFEAT THE HUNS

>>96937948
>It looks like the standard bearer is required to be female, like how the trumpeter appears to be required to be male
They don't want the implication of the woman being the one blowing the phallic object

>>96937332
It won't happen but it'd be nice if there are enough bamboo hats to fit an entire unit

>>96937963
>Fucking lamo, they couldn't even paint a whole unit and had an intern copy the same dudes in photoshop to make it look like there's more.
As >>96937615 said, they specifically learned how to paint Respectful Asian Skintones(TM)

>>96937251 (OP)
They just can't fucking help themselves with the top knots.

>>96937963
>can't bother to paint 6 whole models
I hope this is just a timing issue to get some photos for a preview and not just unmitigated laziness.

>>96938254
Apparently Cathay sells amazing, so GW may be rushing these out now.

>>96938275
Keep repeating it, maybe it will become true

>>96937251 (OP)
>>96937332
TWW secondary bros... not like this...

Every time I start to get some interest back in old world they release more Cathay. I’m sure this will all be overpowered shit

>>96937332
>>96937597
The middle backrow one looks kind of black

>>96937963
Is it me or is the guy in the back right a fucking giant? They fucked up the copypaste job?

>>96938358
I hope they are and I hope they release more.
love the whining of empire players.

>>96937251 (OP)
>>96937332
Why aren’t there any women or black people? Where are the Pride paint jobs by CerberusXT?
This flies in the face of GW’s recent commitment to multicultural diversity, LGBTQIA++ visibility and intersectionality!
Or is it only ‘white’ GW armies that need ‘diversity’ and ‘inclusion’ and strong black girlbosses?

>>96938832
>Why aren’t there any women
Can't even finish 1 sentence without lying

>>96937419
Okay sure, NTA but I suppose the better phrasing would be that it was a strange decision to model them all standing in a fucking gale-force wind rather than just letting their hair hang naturally based on individual poses.

>>96938604
>I like it when corporate Jews replace the protagonist white men faction with slanties that have been purposefully neutered by desire to adhere to CCCP censorship
I bet you also love the taste of your wife's boyfriend's cum in her pussy huh cuckie.

>>96937525
Post painted models

>>96938861
How dare you assume their gender!

>>96938832
I am now only just learning about GW having some webcomic series on their site
I hope they didn't pay for these, and I'm surprised you can't actually look through an archive of them on the site... though most of them are purged for whatever reason

Reminds me of the side games and their humour being both down the toilet and not knowing when to shut up

>>96937332
Decent
>>96937251 (OP)
Dogshit

>>96939042
>for whatever reason
They're shit.

>>96939042
HAHA FUCK THOSE STUPID WHITE MALES AMIRITE?

>>96937332
These aren't bad but the color scheme looks like ass

>>96938861
So it's more wokeslop from GW? Got it, thanks.

>>96938586
They didn't shrink the image down when they moved him to the background

>>96937251 (OP)
Not a massive fans of the heads for these guys. Otherwise, don't mind the monopose.

Might try to do some headswaps from other kits to give them a bit more variety.

>>96937332
Peasants look really good. Outside of the rather over the top arrows and banners they wouldn't feel that weird on a historical table.

>>96938275
Selling fast

>>96939060
GW can't help it that white genocide sells.

>>96941287
Genuinely embarrassing job from whatever gw bong was in charge of putting those pictures together.

>>96939060
Yep!
I don't think anyone who makes comics for GW likes Warhammer
I can't even figure out how you're supposed to find these comics as if they're not supposed to be on the website or are just "My brother's a webcomic artist and he'd like money"... are they put into white dwarfs or something?

Ive never seen a black person play 40k.

>>96941987
I've never seen a white person deserve the gift of life.

>>96941987
I have. Once. He played necrons.
Most minorities I've seen play old world. And I mean black, Asian, hispanic, etc.

>>96941987
We should ask whitepower workshop to lower their prices so the boys from tha projects can play warhammer

how come there's no black dudes with dreadlocks?

>>96942215
>spoiler
wonder why

>>96941987
I've never seen white people either.

>>96937615
The article was actually talk about how to paint a variety of skintones but okay

why people complain they not diverse?
if they dont are look the same
not authentically chinese

>>96937251 (OP)
the gunners are pretty mid. boring poses, and the hand cannons look almost identical to the irondrakes which is lame, i would have liked them to look a bit more unique, there are only a handful of handcannon units in the game and to have 2 of them have practically identical handcannons is quite lame.

but the peasants>>96937332
are fantastic. dynamic poses, variety of heads and expressions,

jezzails are like...idk, they're fine. jezzails are never particularly exciting, they're one of those units thats good as a game piece but as a hobbyist they dont exactly spark joy. the pavise is interesting at least.

the new foot character and mounted character are pretty good though

i would have liked to see some more mid size units. something bigger than infantry or standard cavalry, but smaller than the sentinel and dragon. chariots, the living statue dogs, something like that. the army tends to go from basic humans do basic human stuff to the largest models in fantasy with almost no inbetween

>>96938861
Why isn’t she black and in command of the unit? This is racist and exclusionary!

>>96944332
They have been forcing black empire characters is why, so we need black chinese.

>>96943030
you actually have aids but okay

>>96942371
It's not as grog-tier as WH40k but it's also not gay like AoS.
HH would be the other option but that's like 90% space marines which i imagine gets old after awhile.
That said the fact that cathay and the updated Marauder models are about all we are probably going to get till next summer is kinda shit. Assuming of course what we know is coming is it which i guess is unlikely.

>>96938886
yes, give me more of your whining, little bitch.
cant wait to stomp every empire player with my superior cathay army.

>>96946063
>It's not as grog-tier as WH40k but it's also not gay like AoS.
what

>>96946063
>It's not as grog-tier as WH40k but it's also not gay like AoS.
>40k
>more grog than The of World
what are you smoking

>>96946113
Warhammer fantasy was peak grog, but then the AoS nation attacked and the grogs were scattered to the wind. Those grogs who remain are at peace with themselves and thus not as full of piss and vinegar as the people still playing WH40k.... or something.... idk it's like 3am

>>96946063
>40k
>grog tier
Holy shit anon you need to get out more. Fucking Fairy Meat is more grog than 40K these days.

I really like the peasants with spears but I'm disappointed with the iron hail gunners. I actually like all the detail but the poses and headgear/hairdos could be much more interesting. At the very least I hope it's 3 crouching dudes + 3 standing, not 4 and 2 or whatever.

>>96939060
This but unironically

>>96946063
40k is babby's first game -tier.

Saw a post where he was generating profile pictures for his friend... the results were half black (his friend is white) but his complaint was it generated handsome people and not normal looking people... he didn't think taking a photograph would be better than prompting a photograph

Again, nothing of value here

>>96937346
The peasants don't have ponytails to go in the wind to begin with, except one and the plume on the leader's helmet, and those go in the same direction

>>96937251 (OP)
Still better than the dogshit 40k and HH got

>>96937332
I like how the champion model seems to be an old retired Jade Warrior.

>>96937251 (OP)

>>96937963
My theory is the painter painted some of them black without any supervision and they had to last minute photoshop job it for display.

>>96938254
It's more likely a timing issue for the box photos. They 3D print the stuff for photography while they're producing the sprues, they probably only had time for X of each so they could get the photos to the graphic design team.
