The LAF Games Workshop Discussion Thread

[grant]

Seems more like 100 pages of comprehensive mockery to me, at least recently.

^ Exhibit A, yer honour. The defence needs a drink. 

Oh absolutely; I think like many that if GW weren't so plain expensive and bone-headed, I wouldn't be doing anything else! The games are fun, the minis skulltacular, I just like to do other things now.

I also believe making one comprehensive thread was well worth it. Look at all the interesting discussion in these (now 101!) pages.

[Vermis]

Agreed - all the other bones in the human skeleton are grossly under-represented on GW models.

 

[von Lucky]

Paul Bonner got it for me, that's the setting and style that I like

Mark Gibbons for me.

[OSHIROmodels]

Mark Gibbons for me.

A bit too grim-dark for me

Heh, my tastes are simple... Any of the RT and 2nd ed 40K artists (due to nostalgia-goggles), plus Blanche and Kopinsky beyond that era.

[von Lucky]

The later stuff yes, same for Adrian Smith. This image:



Sold me to 40K. I mean look at what the background fluff has created:

Oh yes! That image... GW should have produced that as the Imperial Guard range.

Not enough skullz. Also, no feet.

[Modhail]

What do you mean, there's 4 skulls visible from the front alone, and he likely has one inside of his helmet as well! That's more than the current Cadian plastics have! Besides, his bedroll looks lumpy, he may easily have rolled another 4 -5 skulls in there, to save for later.

Okay, the no feet thing could be a problem...

[Vermis]

Blanche and Kopinsky beyond that era.

Yup. And a bit of Paul Dainton and Adrian Smith. And the guy whose art was in the 40K 3rd ed book, whose name escapes me, but his style reminds me a wee bit of Mike McMahon. (Edit: Wayne England)
On that note, there were some of the guys on the Warhammer comic, crossing over with 2000AD in some cases. Colin MacNeil, Anthony Williams, the Kevs Walker and Hopgood, Tiernan Trevallion and the inestimable Wayne Reynolds.

On the subject of skulls and bones, didja see who they're bringing back?





I'm not entirely sure if the old one is worse.

[Ajsalium]

From bobble-headed Nagash to pin-headed Nagash...

[Diakon]

Bring back the bobble head. Don't like this new one. I might re-evaluate my opinion when I see a better picture but it looks awful in that one.

nagash needs to lay off the steroids.

[Dr. The Viking]

I see he's a quarterback now?

Damnit beat me to it!

If Nagash could be any more Lombardi in his running of the undead team...
