Luke Skywalker had a weird wife named Mara Jade

Yes, the old Starr Wars [cool typo] Expanded Universe was a bit of an odd duck, and you can maybe see why Disney shunted it to the side in favor of a new continuity.

The smug flippancy of this writer, good lord. That preamble’s tone towards the EU was entirely unnecessary for an article on a game mod.

That is extremely cool. I have access to a .44 lever action rifle and it is very unique to shoot.

Not to be too biased or anything, but I mod

!warhammer40k

and

!star_wars

I also really like

!tabletopminis

The userbases on all of these communities are a little smaller, but steady and the vibe is more positively authentic than Reddit alternatives.

Sure. I don’t normally do genestealers or tyranids, so the methods were all being developed on the fly.

The models were all primed black. The carapaces were drybrushed with Vallejo Model Color Grey Blue, then Pale Grey Blue. At that point, the second drybrushing had left them too light and chalky colored so I used a DIY blue ink wash all over to get them back to a more saturated blue.

The exposed flesh is all Citadel Pink Horror, then washed with Citadel’s purple wash, then 50/50 Pink Horror and an ivory paint. (Normally I’d transition between shade and highlights with more intermediate layers, but I’m used to doing small batches compared to such a large group. I’m counting on the genestealers looking decent as group rather than individuals with this paintjob.)

Bases were all drybrushed with Vallejo Luftwafe blue, then Pale Grey Blue, then Vallejo Rust wash applied to details.

I like them very much. About 80% of my hobby paints are VMC.

Fallout 1 absolutely does it as well. Even the animated dialog the Overseer gives is different, as he gets frustrated with the dumb player character.

One of the more famous Fallout 1 dumb events is that the first super mutant in the game, who is guarding the water chip, will grunt back and forth with the player and then step aside allowing the player to pass by.

I understand. I figure the biggest pull for their boxes are people making Warhammer proxies. The Conquistadors are easily usable as Warhammer fantasy empire troops. The Aztecs don’t quite line up. Which is a shame as a reason they aren’t as supported, but likely true.
