Joe Boss Red Seven 11,293 Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) How about bringing back the beloved and very active Painting Forum Star Brothers... It was great... All Of IT! We love all the different ways we see X-Wing fans engaging with the game! UPDATE: FFG DID IT! FFG! WE LOVE YOU! A GREAT MANY REAL WINGERS ARE EXTRA HAPPY TODAY!

Joe Boss Red Seven 11,293 Posted May 18, 2016 Yes. Also for Imperial Assault too. It's a dam-shame we have to go to Facebook to engage with fellow FFG Star Wars Modelers... this IS where we should be able to do that... Right HERE! 3 Plainsman, FlyingAnchors and Gadge reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FlyingAnchors 4,600 Posted May 19, 2016 I agree. I enjoy gadge's topic post but I would rather have the old sub-forum back.... 3 Gadge, Plainsman and Joe Boss Red Seven reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
You Look Like A Nail 834 Posted May 19, 2016 Agreed. We'll keep it sufficiently busy. Promise. 2 Joe Boss Red Seven and Plainsman reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darkcloak 1,283 Posted May 19, 2016 Agreed! If FFG is going to post pictures of customized ships and flout the hobby aspect of the game then we need a proper subforum! And with more intuitive picture posting thingers! 3 nathankc, Joe Boss Red Seven and Plainsman reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darkcloak 1,283 Posted May 19, 2016 Double posting, I don't care. Gimme a hobby subforum to lurk! 2 Joe Boss Red Seven and Plainsman reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WWHSD 9,273 Posted May 19, 2016 I don't paint, I don't model. I ignore most of the threads that have anything to do with either. FFG please give those poor artistic bastards back their subforum. Of all the subforums, that was the one that made the most sense to have around. While you're at it FFG, make a Non-Standard Format subforum. 7 ObiWonka, rubberduck, JJFDVORAK and 4 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While you're at it FFG, make a Non-Standard Format subforum. Not to kick other forums but for real gang the most active Sub was The Custom Modeling Forum was the most active when we had it. People that do not mod ships and repaint stock models still just liked to come in and look at cool alternate models. 3 IgwanaRob, Plainsman and WWHSD reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreatMazinkaiser 1,335 Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) Hear, hear! Stock ships are boring as mom and apple pie... and people that are fielding exclusively stock ships are doing it wrong. Edited May 19, 2016 by GreatMazinkaiser Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chucknuckle 2,811 Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) Well, if people could refrain from posting pictures of, and linking to, items that fall into that grey area of 'does this break copyright or not?' then we probably wouldn't have lost the painting and modelling forums in the first place.

Nehekharan 32 Posted May 19, 2016 Yes, The consolidated painting topic is one thing, but it's not nearly as usefull as a dedicated painting subforum !Please FFG ! 1 Joe Boss Red Seven reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thespaceinvader 17,566 Posted May 19, 2016 Agreed =) I may be relatively new to x-wing modelling, but I very much enjoy it and the work of the frankly amazing modellers and painters we have here. It's a **** shame it's so hard to find. It's not like a subforums costs... well, anything really. 3 Joe Boss Red Seven, Plainsman and Sir Orrin reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gadge 4,294 Posted May 19, 2016 Yeah i mean I *personally* think the problem was people using the painting and modelling forum to: 1. Pimp their 'painting service' posts, bit off on their part really when its FFGs site 2. 'Co mingling' IP. I know when I was at GW we wouldnt have been able to print say Space Marines painted with Imperial logos on our website, for example. So while transformers/marvel paint schemes are really cool I doubt FFG legal saw it as quite so cool. 3. Again, using it to advertise, indirectly, third person sculpts of dubious IP. Its like with GW again, you might enter golden demon with a converted space marine, thats cool... you wouldnt enter with a totally knock off space marine from another company I'd love to see it back it was my fave section after main board and just before off topic! 1 Joe Boss Red Seven reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some active moderation would do wonders... But yes, a painting sub. Make it general, for all games combined. 2 Vorpal Sword and Gadge reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gadge 4,294 Posted May 19, 2016 When i initially spoke to Evan from the mods about getting us 'off topic' and 'painting' etc I did suggest 'player mods' with limited powers to either move a topic, lock it and flag it for an FFG mod etc It wasnt something FFG wanted to do was the impression i got. I did suggest five or six sensible long term posters here as in my opinion good candidates (i didnt include myself in that list ) 2 Plainsman and Joe Boss Red Seven reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
