HOTR is all about painter hate

By testobviouslyfalse, in X-Wing

I get it, black orange Poe sells models, so does engine glow falcon. Seriously though, if you can't paint it you shouldn't play it. FFG is trying to get the hobby out of the game. This is by far the worst expansion for hobbyists.

Oh noes, because the pre-painted scheme totally stops you from painting it if you want. And from your other posts, no I will not paint my ships as a "requirement" (honestly if you spend more time worrying about your opponents paint scheme than their firing arc or range or asteroids you probably should re-evaluate your tactics.). Painted ships die just as fast as factory ones. (and besides the Y-wing and X-wing (wave 1) the pre-painted actually looks really nice.)

I totally disagree. This game has always been a ready to play game. The miniature, always come pre-assembled and painted. And frankly 90% of the time that I see repainted ships at a tournament I don't the the painter did a better job than the original FFG paint job. FFG isn't taking the hobby out, it never was a core part of the game.

These aren't the first repaints, and I for one have been glad for the repaints, but I won't buy them for the new paint job, instead I will buy them for the new cards and pilots.

Well we had a rough page 4-5 with people starting to feel bad for me, but page 6 is right back on track. Keep reelin em in. Paint your models.

This is probably why I lose games. I am pretty sure I win every game by rule of cool.

I'd consider myself a gold painter and I've painted a Black One T-70 as a Christmas gift for a friend last year.

So I had a small "great I did all the work and now there is a prepainted Black One getting released?" moment.

But you know what? This is my unique take in the Black One.

Why should I be salty over someone getting one prepainted if he/she hasn't the time/skill to paint?

That would be stupid a f

Thats my german autocorrect having trouble with 'good' ^^

Yeah, I know. Thats the point :)

I'm actually starting to suspect Icelom was right after all and Luke C is still digging.

Of course im still trolling you, non painting scum, and as long as you keep replying to these messages i will continue to tell you that your stock ships have no reasonable comparison to any painted ship.

Let's crank that up to strongly suspect.

Nah, this entire thing has been carefully constructed. It has created all sorts of people getting bent out of shape. Suspect what you want. We were talking on facebook about how hillarious it would be to get you all riled up and you didn't dissapoint. I got 6 pages in. That was fun. Continue on with your day.

This thread is just a mess.

But it is a good time-waster until wave 9 comes out.

I guarantee that I derive more enjoyment from OP's muddling about than it can possibly derive from the reactions in this thread.

There are other ways to paint a T-70 than the Black One color scheme.

Look at these fine, pre-painted models. :lol:

Genuine question: For how long have you been 14 now?

Edit: Whoop page 7, I am officially part of the problem!

Idk 2-3 weeks I imagine. How long have you stood on the crutch of pre painted models?
