Yeh but normal people discontinue their association with someone of this level of creepitude as soon as possible. Corvus appear to be sticking their fingers in their ears and screaming, 'Lalalalalala!' whenever anyone brings it up.

They probably have contractual obligations that have to be met, whether they want to or not.

To the OP:

Yesterday I saw your 2 videos and not only was the whole situation outrageous but you are a Saint for being able to endure all that for as long as you did but one thing really shocked me, the the mail exchange: Maybe it's me or maybe the guys from BTP honestly didn't notice, but some of their mails feel threatening. You were reading the mails and sometimes I'd be shocked by how it was worded, it sounded like you crossed a line by creating a video and you were gonna pay for it.

I have no idea what happened after the last video and you mentioned you were going to court (and I admit, I didn't read this thread's 47 pages) but I wish you the best. 9000 points of a FW army and this happens...

I've speculated this before but it remains that Corvus aren't dong enough to distance themselves or respond to the issue.

From what I've read on the forums there, CB is aware of the problems with BTP and is biding their time for the agreement to quietly end.

Interesting, if you could pm me some links that'd be good. No one around here has mentioned this before.

You know, after the link was posted to the paint level photos on the BTP site I realized that all of the work in the photos looked better than what I remembered seeing on BTPs Flickr feed. So I decided to take a look more closely at the feed.

After looking at literally hundreds of photos I could not find one project that seemed to be of the same painting quality as any of the photos from the listing of their painting levels (although I just went back and checked and some of the recent photos come close).

Seriously, though. Check it out.

Wow. I can paint about as good as that, and I don't consider myself an especially good painter.

You gotta love the checkerboard pattern on the Wrightknight's shoulder pads where the checks don't even meet corner to corner and are of inconsistent sizes.

It's also interesting that some of the best work is on the Super Dungeon Explore models. I guess the painting style of the artist is more appropriate to that genre?

Fudge me, that 'Harlequin' Wraithknight is awful. Half of it seems to be just black primer, and that's the best bit !

The checkers and diamonds are very badly executed.

I finally took a look at some of these pictures.

Personally, there are a lot on there that I would say "hey, that's not half bad."....if I had painted it, or my gaming group had done the work.

But there isn't one photo on there that I would tell someone they got their monies worth if they had paid someone to paint it. If a commissioned painter proudly displayed anything dry brushed, I would snap their handles and give them some pre paint wiz kids stuff to play with. No one should be paying money for that level of work, especially the level of money that BTP is charging.

There wont be any "update" for several weeks. Legal process takes time.

Stay strong, ten. It'll be worth it.

It's seems it's not only your paintjobs that are awesome

Les's the Man!

So awesome that members of the gaming community really care for fellow wargamers. What a generous proposition Les, this is a true example of the two ends of the commissioning spectrum.

I suggest for future projects / commissions you take a look at Scar's Miniature Madness
Scar's Chaos Dwars

tenebre, I am assuming you already have done taken this man up on his offer, but if not; SAY YES RIGHT NOW AND DO IT.

For those that haven't been following the thread, I don't think Tenebre actually has the models right now, they're with another studio being repainted.

Speaking of which, it's been a while since we have seen any pictures, tenebre. You are disappointing a group of around 56 strangers from various first world countries, plus however many lurkers have seen this thread. Cmon now.
