That my good friends, is what happens when you do not thin your paints. Better 3-4 thin layers than dunking them like the fools in those pics did.

lawl those are great ones!!!
My first marine looked like that.
"Would you please let me join your p-p-party?
There's a reason why I don't paint faces, and it's because they would look like that IMO XD those pics are pretty great though
Jesus its like they are just dipping the marines into the paint itself.
The cross eyed bumbling orgyen wearing space marine armour made me chuckle
3d milling, 3d printing is already used by people in connection with miniatures. Does not so far seam to have had a lot of impact.
But 3d printing going mainstream will impact of course, it will depend on whether they move to selling blueprints or whether piracy becomes rife. Whats to stop me scultping a "space marine" and scanning it in 3d, messing round with a 3d graphics program and then printing it? Its my sculpt....
But if I scan a GW space marine, then its copyright infringement.....but how do they know? and how long until landraiders blueprints are available to download from the internet, there are already blueprints to make your own 40K vehicles from cardstock and foamboard out there.....
That reminds me, I have the templates for making a Baneblade in an old White Dwarf, I must hunt it down and have a crack at making one.
I am really not sure whether 3D printing will have that much impact, for a while atleast. I've seen some miniatures that have been "printed" and the detail is not great, I imagine if you want to print miniatures of a decent quality it will costs thousands to set up and maintain.

I've odered a small glass cabinet for my room, decided my best armies have spent long enough packed up in boxes and decided to let them hang out in there where they can be on display.
This makes me want to play again, however its been like 10-15 years so most of my army probably won't work with the new rules... also I guess I should say that I was an Imperial Guard player.
Most of your army should still be playable, it isn't that common that a unit is completely taken out of the rules, they will just be updated. Get yourself the latest codex and get up to speed. Your old list might not be as effective as it once was, but it should be by all means playable on some level
I wish my poor Black Templars and Tau were updated sooner rather than later.
To be fair though, Tau actually don't look as poorly modelled as other races or armies have.
