Oh yeah, that's exactly what I'm after, thank you. It looks amazing all together like that!

Okay, since you've pointed me in that direction I've added a little thing where you get a mention, would you be okay with me using a full picture of your RW army?
November 12, 2025 at 6:09 PM
Oh yeah, I know I've definitely seen more RW than DS armies out there.

Honestly though, The Rainbow Warriors were still kicking as of 8th edition, so they have escaped being eaten as far as we know. They're just very, very shy.

I didn't know that, in all honestly! I'd never really thought about where the name of the ship came from since it just felt like something they'd come up with naturally.

I am now in a wiki rabbit hole so if the video ends up with a 5-minute digression about the name, know it's your fault haha
November 12, 2025 at 5:12 PM
Ah! Neat to see one with the lads who stole their icon hah
November 12, 2025 at 4:21 PM
Oh I really like the tone of these, good work!
November 12, 2025 at 4:20 PM
You did great! Honestly it's a scheme with some hard elements in there, I keep meaning to try it myself on a random marine myself.
November 12, 2025 at 4:19 PM
You don't see those minis often so great to see one as a Rainbow Warrior!
November 12, 2025 at 4:18 PM
The facepaint is a nice touch, love it :)
November 12, 2025 at 4:17 PM
That's a neat idea! And the non-conventional scheme is exatly what I needed for a certain part of the video I'm working on so thank you :)
November 12, 2025 at 4:16 PM
Ah! Yeah I've seen this force when looking for Rainbow Warriors stuff and it's incredible, those gradient rainbows are amazing.

I think what you've posted will be all I'd need, thank you, but I'll pipe up if anything else is needed :)
November 12, 2025 at 4:15 PM
I really like that shade of blue for him (plus being the mini it is), I will absolutely sneak him in somewhere :)
November 12, 2025 at 4:13 PM
Ohh that's a neat idea, I think I can find a place for him :)
November 12, 2025 at 4:12 PM
Okay that's fantastic (I didn't use that image exactly, I had one that said 'Leftist Agenda' on it hah).

Would you mind if I used the one quoted above as well in the video? It's perfect for a point being made in the video :)
November 12, 2025 at 4:12 PM
Oh yeah, I mean that's the thing isn't it? There's nothing you can't handwave away if the writer wants to.
November 11, 2025 at 3:21 PM
Oh absolutely. We've had so many different takes that it makes people not so precious about things, a new iteration of a character or idea can go in wildly different directions because we've already had several different versions.
November 11, 2025 at 3:18 PM
It would be a harrowing yet fascinating experience. I would not be able to resist.
November 11, 2025 at 3:12 PM
The other alternative is to take an approach like Transformers canon, which is to look you dead in the eyes and say 'Even the toy bios have their own continuity and every time you complain I add another contradictory origin for the Constructicons. Fuck you.'

Terrified to learn how they could make Bond more violent of a character lol
November 11, 2025 at 3:05 PM
It has been a very popular theory.

That they kinda torpedoed with Skyfall establishing he really is actually called Bond. But in the spirit of the thread we'll just ignore that hah
November 11, 2025 at 3:04 PM
Yeeeeeep.
November 11, 2025 at 3:02 PM
That's not to say it's bad to enjoy the old movies, I enjoy a lot of old media that's, shall we say, problematic (you'd be amazed quite how much blackface there is in old kaiju movies), just that it's okay to let a franchise rest once in a while.
