    I came to this conclusion about three days ago when out on a walk and had to write this script so I did.
    SORRY if I come off as elitist in any parts of this video, it isn't my intention, the 'epic space marine' parts are mostly hyperbolic, I'd be a hypocrite if I said I didn't understand the appeal.
    If this helped convince you to try out some Inq28 modeling then YESSSSSSSSS.
    Send me pictures on Instagram or whatever, just please make sure you send it to bruva_alfabusa and not the fake brony guy bruvaalfabusa who pretended to be me back in 2014 I am not joking I had the pleasure of seeing this account for the first time around 5 years ago now and it is SO weird, IN ADDITION, we discovered as recently as last week that he also made his own fake steam account and STEAM GROUP under the false guise of "brother alfabusa" and it fascinates me to no end as to why he would do this.

    My two cents:
    I can't do photorealism in the slightest. Whenever I paint on canvas, I go with instinct and feeling, leaving abstract, twisted forms in dirty, muddled colours.
    I feel like inq28 and blanchitsu allow me to really lean into my strengths as a painter, with ugly, harsh colours and jagged lines. From a painting point-of-view, inq28 and blanchitsu can really allow one to embrace the *frenzy* of artistic creation.
    And that's why it's my favourite aesthetic.

    I keep coming back to this video even after 8 months passed and I am now just 24 starting out making both my grey knights and guard armies separately being new to 40k. The aspect of agony is something rare to see celebrated as many like myself have gotten too used to the clean space opera that is Warhammer 40 thousand. However I think with alot of the lore you can take both sides with a grain of salt. Yes you have champions of humanity clean of filth and holy dictated to a noble clause of keeping the light burning across an entire universe. And those left in its warpath both mentally and physically.

    Inq28 is an amazing aesthetic, i personally saw it as some of the first art that got me into 40k.
    I play Salamanders, and while I really don’t like the clean primaris vibe, I think the 30k design choice is a good middle ground between clean and Inq28, if not leaning a bit further into Inq28.
    Also before anyone tells me that Salamanders aren’t the good guys, I’m well aware of that. I just like green, and the forge and dragon aesthetics they have.

    @alisonpurgatory85 9 місяців тому

    As much as I love Inq28 and love your interpretation of it, and I agree with most of it, I do have one point of contention: that of 'irrationality'. While the beliefs of the Imperium, no matter how much lore is retconned to 'justify' them, are not rational, and those of their real-world inspirations of fascism, capitalism, patriarchy, totalitarianism are not rational either, the methods they use to enforce them and the huge machines and structures of society that power them can be, and often are, grimly practical. So much of capitalist evil in our world is what happens when rational decisions are made with profit as the priority and human lives seen as expendable tools and raw material. Like the Adeptus Mechanicus making people into servitors simply because the human workers are not getting the job done fast enough for their standards. Fascism and capitalism, for all their insanity, are ideologies that exist to enforce separation between people and obedience to a ruling class. Irrational beliefs serve that. But rationality perpetuates it. So much of the service and labor of the machines of capital are driven by people who do not actually believe in the ideology, and are the most hurt by it, but make rational decisions for their own continued survival, in a society where going against what they hate would mean death or worse for them.

  • @Sierra026
    @Sierra026 11 місяців тому +2

    Coming to this discussion late, but an observation:
    I don't like the new Sisters Repentia and their "sanitized" appearance. I know why GW did it, so that mummy buying these figures for 10-year-old Timmy doesn't ask awkward questions about "the naked ladies wearing an apron", and is subsequently put off by the "deeply offensive material". (Assuming, of course). So they made them put sleeveless track suits on. Boring... compared to:
    Unbounded crazed zealots, blinded to their own humanity and sense of self-worth, forced only to wear a long parchment scroll that's been painfully sewn to their abused flesh. On the parchment is written down in their own blood each of their long, long lists of crimes of heresy, treason, and jaywalking against the God Emperor of Mankind, Blessed Is He On Terra, with the explicit understanding that the only road to penance is a messy, bloody death. Death of the Repentia, death of the "other", it matters little. Eyes are nailed shut, tongues skewered by parchment with further appendices of crimes, hoods made of rags thrown over their mutilated faces, so that He on Terra may see them no longer. They charge headlong into battle, frothing and screaming religious platitudes in the vain, utterly mad hope that their actions now may give their souls some measure of reprieve from this living Hell... unaware their soul will then become playthings for the denizens of the Warp. For in the grim nightmare of the 41st millennium, there is no peace, no forgiveness, no understanding... no rationale. There is only unending madness and war.
    Also, funny horse skull goblin, haha

    • @alisonpurgatory85
      @alisonpurgatory85 9 місяців тому +1

      I also prefer the old Repentia. I'm a leftist feminist, and so it may sound weird that I do, but I think their old depiction is more honest about the fetishization and psychosexual dynamics of fascism and patriarchal Christian zealotry. (this is why a lot of the accusations about warhammer 40k being more 'woke' now is bullshit- not only because they come from fascists and cosnervatives angry that there are more black and brown skin tones being painted, but because 40k now is not as honest and bold about depicting the horror of its ideologies as it used to be). The Imperium is always beating people into the shape of their idealized images, like Space Marines representing their masculine warrior ideal, and notably de-sexualized. Imperium's gender dynamics pretty clear in that contrast. The naked-except-for-religious-parchment Repentia covered in scars, driven by a whip-wielding superior, call to mind slavery and self-harm and BDSM with the consent removed (which is just abuse), the Imperium is driven by relationships of domination and punishment, not mutual partnerships. It also makes them exposed, for the purposes of dying easier. Nudity doesn't have to be sexual of course but it definitely denotes vulnerability here. Sexual domination and objectification has always been a key component of fascism and Christian theocracy, as it weakens the oppressed and makes them believe that their worth is defined by how appealing they are to their rulers. The violation makes them more traumatized and subservient.
      Sadly the third party Repentia models I've seen look like they're made by people who just want to jerk off to them rather than anyone invested in a depiction of fetishized flagellant slaves. There is a balance to this- making sexualized models for the sake of it that look like they run on hentai proportions (cough cough wargame exclusive) does not equal a meaningful critique of psychosexual oppression.

  • @bliblivion
    @bliblivion 3 роки тому +1

    i agree, this was a core part of both 40k and Fantasy, but GW in their greed decided to go marvel style and to get quick money by making the plot advence braking the Entropy with the End Times on Fantasy side and with the resurgence of primarques + broken marines + the silent king+ Ynead
    they choose to brake the status quo and instead of focusing on a multitude of localised conflicts (which where the base in which every tablle top matches were grounded) they preffered to have world wide conflict for Fantasy and Galaxy wide conflict for 40k. Braking the status quo with OP character that can only make the plot moove forward will lead to the end of the story and an inevitable reboot like AOS.
    This is a mistake, those universes worked for 35+ years because of the entropy and the status quo not because their was a progression toward a big goal.

    • @alfabusaplaysgamesandishor2005
      @alfabusaplaysgamesandishor2005  3 роки тому +11

      I am absolutely in agreement, but, I have to quickly add that AOS has been super great in regards to their 'progression' and the consequences of the Gods actions, quickly exacerbating entropy in the micro. The Gods of AOS are the power structures given physical form, and the idea of living a mere mortal life in realms wherein these unknowable, mythical creatures could turn you to nothing through their mere presence is a cool and quintessentially Warhammer concept.
      40k has been less effective in this regard, without doubt.
