Ok I like you, that gave me a giggle. Not angry, I just generally speak my mind and upon further review it was in bad taste to say such a thing, hope I did not offend my friend

Look at you, telling other people what they're doing is offensive after telling people to lighten up.

I had similar discussions and I know that several people hate me now because I said my opinion about unpainted armies / miniatures.

Guy: "Look at my army!"

Me: "I don't see any army. I just see a bunch of metal and plastic."

For me, an army has to be painted in such a manner that it is clear that these miniatures / units belong together, even if it's only the base that is done in the same style.
In an army, all miniatures share a common visual theme and the paintjob on theme gives the miniatures charakter, thus creating the impression of the armie.

I got into this hobby because I saw colorfull armies on impressive modelled tables. These armies became alive in my mind because they had character.

I like to think that these images of armies are the reason why we play Warhammer. Sorry, I might offend some people here: I think you have to be someone who absolutely doesn't have any fantasy, somebody who doesn't even care about Warhammer, to field unpainted armies. I find it outright offensive if you oppose me and my army with unpainted miniatures.
I made some effort to present you an army that is able to come alive in your mind. A worthy opponent. Now "you" come along and present me your metal and plastic?! Not that I don't have any fantasy, but I don't see an army in this - just a pile of unpainted, maybe primed, miniatures.

You are honestly going to compare racism to model paintjobs on toy soldiers?

Wow... just wow... anyway i must head to the mall, have a good one everyone... and bunker... take that down... really. You seem like a decent enough person, just portray some of that decency, please...

And some people got into this hobby because we enjoy the gaming aspect of warGAMING (its even in the name. see what I did there?)

Nobody has the right to gak on your playskill like you have no right to gak on how their armies look. Just because you have the time/skill to paint well doesn't make the elitism okay in the same way it wouldn't be okay for me as a spectator to follow every move and roll you make with "wow, BRILLIANT idea General Patton!"


Relax, it's a game where we push little plastic men around a table and shout "PEWPEW!!" at each other. Having nicer paintjobs than someone else isn't going to get you laid, no matter how hard you try to convince yourself otherwise.

So it went from: "very freaking racist"
to: "racist to a degree"

In a matter of minutes?

You constantly spamming the term "brosef" is about as racist as that picture. Methinks you just needed another reason to spark some drama.

Have fun at the mall! Though I don't know where the M in "GTL" fits in.

And I'm just kidding, so don't get all bent out of shape, be happy dude!

If you want to feel pride at having never put an unpainted army/model on the table, you have certainly earned it. I applaud you for it.

Make your shirt: "Fielding only painted minis since 2005" or something similar. This is something to be proud of and share.

Taking a dig at someone else, even in jest, grates on people.

Lead by example or ispiration, not by shaming others. That's the difference between being mature and acting juvenile.


Kronk's post wins.



And with that, since the topic is generating far more sound and fury that it warrants, I'll close it now.
