collars are always a must. Great symbol of showing their place.

Not only symbolic… can confirm giants apparently love to drag us around on a leash.

I mean… if you’re small enough, then it might be like an anklet or something on my part, and for the tinies it’d be less, ‘being dragged around’, and more, ‘hitch a ride on my shoe, or else, because you’re not going to slow my step in the slightest’.

Why do I feel slightly called out…

It’s usually context specific for me. I’ve gushed already about giants in armour or some form of uniform (particularly of authority), e.g. medieval fantasy setting, post-apocalyptic world, etc. I’m also on board with the corporate or business casual look. Honestly, a well fitting shirt and/or suit and good pair of boots won’t go amiss. Anything that cuts a nice figure into a fella, showing some effort in his appearance.

@miss-lillipants Armor is sooo cool. You could do medieval fantasy armor, maybe futuristic mech-inspired armor, there’s so many possibilities!

I love the idea of having a bunch of tinies care for it too. It’s so extreme- like the giant is wearing an entire building.

@blehb I love amour, the heavier the better. To be fair, armoured tinies can be fun too! I might have bought an 1/18 scale WH40K Adepta Sororitas, and even at 4 inches tall she’s pretty badass (and yes, the company is really called “JoyToy”)

[blehb]

@foreverlurk Oh yes, tinies ready for battle are a ton of fun. Maybe the giant is amused by their attempts to fight, or is genuinely surprised by their abilities. I love the makeshift borrower-style armor myself.

Adepta Sororitas is such a beautiful army. I would be tempted to pick them solely because of their miniatures. Did you paint her at all?

[foreverlurk]

@blehb Armour can be fun to take off from tinies, in a weird sensual way. It’s hard to explain but removing soft clothes is one thing, but removing heavy ceramite armor pieces? A bit of effort to get to my prize

Sadly this isn’t a mini painted for tabletop gaming (those are much smaller, 1:48 scale), it’s a miniature “doll” for my collection. Yeah, I know, I have dolls, judge me all you want hehe

I don’t have Battle Sisters in my armies but Saint Celestine calls to my heretics-purging, righteous-fury-Paladin inclinations. Also, bonus points if you can guess why I love the Adeptus Sororitas so much? Here’s a clue:

@foreverlurk You’re a fan of the New Orleans Saints?

@Olo The Aints? No way, I’m a Miami Dolphins fan for life (I like pain ).

Not a whole lot of Dolphin themed 40K armies.
Now you might call her a doll, but I see an action figure. I bet she would go on all kinds of adventures!

I mean, it’s the reverse of the ‘tiny doms giant’ trope: a trained soldier, in heavy plate, and armed to the teeth, is a force to be reckoned with. They’ve devoted their lives to this purpose, spent countless hours in training and equipped themselves with the best they can possibly can…

…All of that, and yet they’re still nothing. They’re a peanut to a grape, at best: protected, to be sure, but it’s just a mild inconvenience. At the end of the day, they’re both snacks.

[blehb]

@foreverlurk Oh duh. Literally everything you said describes a figurine over the typical miniatures. My favorite thing about 40k is seeing peoples paintings so my mind immediately goes there.

I don’t have any myself, but I think the quality on some figurines is so amazing! And I would love to get into painting miniatures as well, but that’s another craft I don’t need to distract myself with. What other figurines do you have if you don’t mind sharing?

I have an appreciation for the nuns with guns. Like I said, I would consider choosing them, but to be embarrassingly honest, they’re a little too dominatrix for me to play and I would feel shy about it LOL. I am too much of a sub for them.

Or a little shrimp, hehe.

I don’t want to rant and rave about WH40K but I’ve been playing close to 20 years (+/- 25 if you include 2nd ed. Space Hulk). I bought, and sold, many different armies for many editions. Back in the days, I tried to paint my own minis. LOL. After that epic fail, I commissioned people to paint them, but now I have my own slave teenager at home who has infinitely more artistic talent than I do that does it for free.

My figurines collection started without me even trying, just slowly bought over the years, collector editions games and blurays. I have superheroes, video game & anime characters, all in the 4" to 12" range. I should get my collection properly displayed, still a bit so self-conscious. Speaking of, the next thinkg I’m after is a Phicen doll, they are 10" high which is still too big for my taste but apparently their “skin” is made of this soft silicon which feels human to the touch, and seamlessly covers their entire body (again, feel free to judge me people - I’m still really curious to hold one! )

When I was six years old, I told my parents I was going to be married at the Orange Bowl and my best man would be Larry Csonka.
