This has been brewing for a while for me, but this Warhammer Box just pushed me over the edge...

As a guy who typically has played relatively high moel count armies, the 'unique' and 'dynamic' poses lose their charm when you have 5 or 6 of them in your army.

100% As well as assembling and prepping issues, I prefer models that let me add my own detail with the paint, over ones that force me to paint details with the sculpt. And when there's too many of them it just kills my motivation to paint it.

@81Earthangel 28 күн бұрын

I 100% agree. Just look at the original HeroQuest miniatures. You stand 2 meters away and you can see that guy is “The Barbarian” and that guy is a “Chaos Warrior” and that guy the “Dwarf”. And look at this cool little goblins over there and this amazing skeletons at the other side of the room. Now a look at the battle field and I have no fucking clue what I am looking at.

I don't mind the over-designed factor on Leaders or Elite units, but bog standard units don't need the level of detail that we seem to be stuck with these days. I don't want to have to paint 9 belts, 8 pouches, 3 daggers, and a letter from Susie on every peasant levyman. I really just want a range that has modern quality with some older, simpler designs. It isn't impossible to find thankfully, and getting easier every day, especially with a 3d printer.

@AlexLusth 28 күн бұрын

Im a professional digital sculptor, and though I agree to 100% with your issues with new GW models, I do want to defend my craft a little bit here. It not like you HAVE to add all those details and floaty bits etc as well as cut your model into 100 pieces. This is still a conscious decision they make at GW, and can absolutely be avoided if they wanted to. basically, this is not the fault of digital sculpting, but games workshops own goals and thoughts on what a mini should look like.

My issue is a "if you gaze long into a gap, the gap also gazes into you" thing, and i cannot, for the life of me ignore it

@NINETAILEDF0X 28 күн бұрын

Mini’s are getting over designed in general IMO - sometimes less is more. I saw a comment recently on reddit that said ‘wow I didn’t think you’d be able to make this mini look good cos there’s hardly any detail on the sculpt, but it looks great!’ It’s really stuck with me as a super strange way of looking at models and painting, but it was highly upvoted so I guess it’s not that uncommon an opinion.

@16011160 28 күн бұрын

YES man building and cleaning is the WORST demotivator. it takes me 15 hours to clean and prep a model as large as Be'lakor as you had in video. The new ushoran model doesn't even fit together at ALL you have to bend the plastic to get most of it to fit. Also they make it so hard to fit the pieces together by having horrible cuts that every GW apologist tells me "they can't help it but split the face in half"

Also, unposable. I cannot stand the mono-pose minis.

Good Engineering is not when there is nothing more to add, it's when there's nothing more to take away

@Zenkujo 28 күн бұрын

For me, cleanup is a terrible motivation killer - I totally believe that "seams"/mouldlines on a kit should be designed to be hidden, deep in a shoulder joint or what not, requiring little-to-no-clean-up. Also I prefered older mentality of breaking the kits up into legs, torso, arms, heads was better than all the mono-posing that goes on now - better for kitbashing, better for posing...

@ThurzagLP 28 күн бұрын

What i like the least are not the gaps but rather the fact that these new designs discourage Kitbashing and adding your own flavor by making it more difficult. You don't get alot of flat surfaces that allow room for your own interpretation, instead you get parts that fit like the ones you have shown and it's like: "Where do i even start?". It also makes your quote at

@Rivetlicker 28 күн бұрын

The main problem I have with complex posees, and models having a lot "stuff" orbiting around them, is that they make it less easy to carry them around. And gaming is one of the aspects a lot of people are in for this hobby. if you need a seperate box for each single model, it feels like you're moving an army, rather than just bringing some mini's along to game. And personally, as someone who doesn't own a car, it's just getting more and more of a hassle...

@spikeydood4241 28 күн бұрын

I am a collector, “enthusiastic” painter who enjoys building armies for the fun of it, historically mostly GW armies. After 30+ years of doing this, I have obviously noticed the detail creep that has happened with the advent of 3d sculpting.

@chappy4756 28 күн бұрын

I'm one of those freaks who enjoys the building process as much as the painting piece, especially vehicles - i think it's the engineer part of me. However, i agree 110% with the mold lines, i just built the Ursula Creed and Canoness figs and there were some very inconvenient mold lines that needed OCD attention. You aren't the only one with a beef over the "over-built" minis these days. Pete the Wargamer is constantly shaving off and stripping down minis in his builds, like his Raptors. Pros and Cons. I don't need infinite pouches on my 150 Guardsmen to paint, but on my Officers and characters, definitely. Henry on Cult of Paint talked about this in his recent Solar Auxilia vid.

@Wolfnstone 28 күн бұрын

I find the building process therapeutic. I don't play anymore so my painting is mostly for display so no rush to get things done. Personally I'd rather deal with gaps than undercuts. Bit of milliput and a quick sanding usually sorts them whereas essentially re-sculpting an under cut can be a tedious endeavour

@theWolfnMiniatures 28 күн бұрын

One of my biggest problems with modern cutting is when a piece of the sculpted base is part of the model or vice versa. Like a foot is part of the base, or the tree is attached to the cape. Even when I'm not doing subassemblies I prefer to do the base separate.

@CharlotteV3D 21 күн бұрын

What I find with overly designed minis, is that first -> this is a marketing trick. They show beautifully on a box, it makes people want to buy them, but once they are assembled (after going through the gazillion steps), you never know by where to start with the painting.

@lz1094 28 күн бұрын

its something i just thought about myself recently when i watched another of these " i try to paint an army in 24hours" video, were everyone always fails because they spend at least half the time building the army instead of painting.. as a youngster i would build fantasy regiments in an evening, basecoat them and start painting. now i spend the first weekend assembling a unit half the size. I do love the look of many of the new models, but damn do i hate building them..
