When you can get a resin printer for less than the cost of some of the sets, wtf were they expecting?

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Frankly I'd rather buy sets than spend even more time staring at grey plastic. I also like supporting companies that sell me cool shit.

People 3d printing will always be a small dent on the bottom line, which is what makes it so harmless imo

If you look a little deeper (and, truly, only barely under the surface), it's glaringly apparent that not only is GW not worth your affection, but it has actively worked against its fanbase's interests as a foundational element of its business model for decades. Secondly, despite the 3D printing demographic being a negligible dent in their bottom line, they still act like a bunch of greedy shits and allege ownership of anything even remotely similar to grimdark scifi — as if they own the entire genre.

p.s. Their endless, juvenile bullshit is precisely why One Page Rules not only exists, but is straight up slaying it. 🤘🏼

Youre certainly entitled to your opinion but I am not uninformed. I just disagree

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

These are not opinions, friend. They're facts proven over decades of GW's consistent fuckery. They're known for it, worldwide. Don't fanboi so hard your fingers can't be removed from your ears without surgery, FFS.

Liking a company isn't being a fanboy. Insulting people who don't would be.

I am quite capable of making decisions about things I like.

You wouldn't download a car...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Yes i would.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Yes, everyone would.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I would 3d print a car if I could though

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Only GW and their frothy fanbois think so.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is it downloading the model or actually printing they regard a crimes?

Does it matter if it's for personal use?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

They don't offer any digital files of their content, and yet they fanatically attack ANYTHING even slightly space trooper-ish (not to mention star elves, genetic/insectoid alien, corrupted version of similar, etc.), and don't seem to give a single fuck about threatening frivolous lawsuits — their bottomless pockets are enough to crush any sculptor with the stones to create in "their" genre.

Fuck GW. Print all the things!

(To make it all that much worse, they're notorious for discontinuing/banning models without notice [much less any refund] and that's not even touching on the ridiculously overpriced low-quality schlock they tout as their "style".)

Support your friendly, local 3D printer who happily takes commissions for One Page Rules compatible models. Ahem. 🤓

This is your daily reminder that it's always morally correct to pirate GW minis.

Is that original image from peep show?

Love it. I finally binged it recently after only seeing extracts for years. Any recommendations on what to watch next besides that Mitchell and Webb look?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

have you seen black books or spaced?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've seen (and adore) spaced, but not heard about black book, I'll check it out!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's made by the same fella as the IT crowd and Father Ted. Incredibly funny - shame he's a massive transphobe though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A slightly obscure show that I really enjoyed was Johnny Vegas' Ideal.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Haha just watched an extract, that also looks deliciously British, getting great recommendations that are going on my watchlist here, thanks everyone.
