I have to ask - how does Captain Buttbeard putt on his hat and eye patch?

That's a good question. Is it graphic or not on the other side?

That's a good question. Could you reach the camera around to the other side?

And with that, I've had enough. Banished to OT.

Wait what?!

Does this mean that the mod(s) have taken a stance on Kickstarters being news and rumors?

Could we not have gotten a warning to stop with the butt jokes? No offense, but this is a little heavy handed for a thread that contains just as much if not more news than the latest GW Eldar thread...

Ouze, any chance that a serious collector will get to see any, ahem, cheesecake butts?

This KS needs an enema.

Agreed. if a risque post gets put in the raging heroes almost a KS thread, for example, will that get moved as well?

It was a serious question, though poorly worded.

I honestly don't mind if the butt jokes are removed, but I don't beyond that why it was moved to the OT. I'm not asking the Mods to explain their reasoning, just to please move it back to N&R with the stiff warning that if we can't keep the thread clean that it'll be moved and never brought back or worse.

I think that's poor form to shift this to OT. It's a kickstarter. It's news. It's models. If you're going to banish one you should banish them all.

No, it means that the thread is so terminally OT and full of crap that I had a choice between locking & deleting it. Don't try and derive unified motives from the individual actions of Mods, for we are ineffable.

It was this, or removing the thread entirely. You guys decided to play with your new toy; accept responsibility for breaking it.

There isn't anything on the other sides - they look more or less the same as the fronts. I will post images to it when I get home.

Yeah, do you have enough people in case the sales for this are above expectation?

I have 4 additional people that can help me cast, and have access to more if it really, totally comes down to it. I'm not too worried about it, they're not supposed to be delivered until September but again I hope to have the vast majority done and good to ship by July, the "official" date is to cover me in case something... unexpected happens.

Agreed.

Furthermore the thread's existence in N&R was approved by Insaniak.

I think the butt pirate should come with a little treasure map leading to his booty.

@Janthkin

The chatter in here is no less off topic than almost all of the kickstarter threads. Slap a NSFW tag on it if you want to but I find the fact that this got shifted to OT when I see much, much more off topic conversation and pointless posting in KS and News & Rumor threads kinda sad.

At first I thought it was a joke. Reading the thread allowed me to understand it was in fact a genuine kickstarter. For a site that allows a lot of companies to basically keep running advertisements in it's News & Rumors I say put this back. And I haven't even pledge on this yet.

Besides, it's nice to see a lighter side of Dakka once in a while, god knows it's gotten awfully whiney and pissy lately.

>_< While humorous, this is exactly why we got shipped off to the OT without a warning.

I don't know, in the context of the kickstarter this sounds like a fine suggestion to improve upon the product being provided

Are you just trolling us Janthkin? What is this thread full of?

@Alfndrate

What else would a pirate have a map to?

Treasure chest

Also I'd like to point out that there is more news in this butt filled thread than this thread with an actual product being funded, not like, "if we get x likes, we'll do y and z."

I really want to see someone use these as couts-as Slaanesh models.

Any thread's continued existence relies on those who post in it not getting too carried away....

My posts have been expunged of puns.

I'm sorry.

Fair enough, I still say this belongs in N&R as much as any other miniatures related Kickstarter.

Haha! I didn't even catch that reference, thanks Snrub!

Why are you guys doing this? I'm not sorry, and I'm not gonn adjust, and here's why: some of the MODs may not appreciate the cheeky one liners, they may find the cracked jokes to be in bad taste, but every single bit of hot air we spew on the topic keeps the thread near the front, gets people interested, and gets Ouze's project funded. Now I don't personally have an interest in owning "flying butts" (sorry Ouze), but as a fellow Dakkanaut, I want to see Ouze's project gain support, and that's what we were doing. MODs, if you'd like to see this succeed, please put it back where it belongs.

Just heard about this now. At first I thought it was a joke, but reading the thread helped me to understand it was a real kickstarter. This thread should be in News and Rumors, but seeing as how the Mods are NO FUN ALLOWED types, I'm not exactly surprised.

I'd like to pledge, but I'm going to pass. The sculpting is pretty average for a joke mini and the figure is a little large for what it's supposed to be. It should be smaller with larger wings, like the old plastic bats that came in the WHQ box set. The detailing needs to be better on this wings as well. look at the metal wings that came with the 40K2 gargoyles. There ne4eds to be some additional veins and striations in the musculature. A little forked demon tail on the back would be awesome as well.

I also take issue that you can't order individual models, so one buttpirate and four generic guys. Or one buttpirate and nine generic guys. Or whatever squad-and-squad-leader combo you want.

But seriously, the detail needs to be better on this. It's a good first effort, but the final sculpt needs to be much better.

Agreed. This should be moved back into N&R.
