For the record I very much enjoy this approach to miniature painting. A key aspect of the hobby, more so the longer I do it, is that we can do whatever we want.

The wargame ‘Labyrinth’, about the War on Terror, covers a similarly contentious subject, and while it does it very well I would understand someone being uncomfortable with it. Similarly, I feel unsure about the many WWII games where one player can control, for instance, the SS.

My favourite Warhammer quote applies here: ‘Camouflage is the colour of fear.’

I’m getting Helsmiths of Hashut, some kind of slavemaster who bosses the hobgrots around.

The new model rules although I admit I had a soft spot for his power hammer with a fist on it. I’ve not kept up with a lot of the current background, but remember that 40K has both future tech and magic so nobody has to stay dead.

Literally nothing is more Warhammer than wearing bright red in battle to convey your contempt of the enemy.

The red works really well for a ‘Chunter.

It’s been down for a while, I wasn’t able to get the domain renewal to work. I’m focusing on getting mini pics up regularly before I think about maintaining a blog again.

I like the first one. A neglected building big enough to have an elevator, but that still has people in it, is a very cool setting which definitely has a hidden floor that can only be identified from counting the windows outside vs the number of stops the elevator makes.
