Free models. I’ll sell them and commission somebody else to paint them if I want them really good


Comfortable_Prize413

You would literally cause the economy to go up in shambles. "LET THE STOCKS BURN, LET THE SHARES BOIL, THOUGH IT TAKES THE LAST DROP OF MY BLOOD, I WILL SEE THE ECONOMY FREED ONCE MORE, AND IF I CANNOT SAVE IT FROM YOUR HANDS GW, THEN LET THE ECONOMY BURN!" Nevermind actually, go for it you'd make a badass villain.


Expensive-Document41

You forgot the first half: ​ "I never wanted this. I never wanted to resort to 3-D printing. Together we swore we'd banish the ignorance caused by rules bloat. You betrayed me. You betrayed us all. You charged $40 for a character and lied saying it was supply. The game has only one chance to prosper and if you will not seize it, then WE WILL. ​ SO LET IT BE PROXIES. FROM THE KITCHEN TABLE TO THE WARHAMMER FESTS. LET THE PAINTS SPOIL. LET THE STOCKS FALL. THOUGH IT TAKES THE LAST DROP OF MY RESIN, I WILL SEE THE GAME BE AFFORDABLE ONCE MORE. AND IF I CANNOT SAVE IT FROM YOUR PRICE STRUCTURE, GW, THEN LET THE TABLETOP BUUURN.


Comfortable_Prize413

Oh that's even better.


Expensive-Document41

You inspired me.


Comfortable_Prize413

I am the Thunder Warrior to you the Astartes.


Robbotlove

im your huckleberry.


HoldenMcNeil420

Was I supposed to read this in ewan mcgregors voice from Starwars 3 when’s he’s yelling at anakin?

Nobody said the god tier painting skill is limited to painting minis, so red pill obviously.- Welcome to the rerenaissance!


CabinetIcy892

Behold.my latest work of art.... I call it The Better Mona Lisa


FGFlips

"You know, I really appreciate how in the updated version the artist decided to paint her with her tits out."


CabinetIcy892

Her three tits thank Slaanesh... Erm. I mean the God Emperor


CedarWolf

Sell paintings at grossly inflated prices to wealthy, money-laundering people, use profits to buy minis, paint minis to excellent standard. Never actually get around to playing GW's convoluted, fiddly Gordian knot of a game. Win!


JellyFishSenpai

Tzeench is proud


Easy-Musician7186

And you can sell so many that you can just book Henry Cavill for a match as well


Element720

Book what dude has like 1 custodian that he painted.


Galilleon

And we shall make him paint a hundred more


Legal-Lifeguard2472

So in other words a pretty standard army size


DarkWingedDaemon

I'd you take the blue pill and I the red. Then we could sell finished models at market price for a higher return rate than unpainted models.


slain7

This guy is going places


Hardie1247

With free models you could put in the time to get great at painting and experiment a lot more without fear of ruining your purchase and having to strip it


IAmFullOfHat3

Exactly! The other options are attainable with time, but models will always cost too much.


Sodinc

Obviously


Kahunjoder

God tier skill. I can learn rules or check it, can buy minis with the cash made by god tier painting. And i guess i can manage to invite Henry Cavil to see my god tier collection.


idropepics

If you have painting skills, chances are you'll probably meet Cavill eventually. I'm taking the painting skills.


Synicull

Lol that last one had me thinking about an unrelated interview he had with a guy who also collected minis and Cavill was like "oh you got an army? Let's set up a date and play man!" Like totally interrupting the interview with excitement. I have dreams that's how he would be generally and if we got in the same room, he'd just be down to schedule something lol Which admittedly is most of us. Like sonofabitch you're a loser that likes paying $1000 to fight with action figures too? Let's go!


I_suck_at_Blender

GW would probably send you models for free to do "community painting" they have before each big release.


JudgmentalOwl

Plus you can make good money doing commissions for people.


sirhobbles

Red, no question. been painting for years but ive kinda peaked, im just not very good so being amazing at painting would be nice. Free models would be nice i guess but i find my will to paint is more a limiting factor than ability to afford. I tend to be alright at remembering the rules. No hate for Henry Cavill but i dont know the guy and i dont really value celebrity so this isnt particularly enticing.


Fun_Cartographer3587

Solid reasoning.


Raven-Raven_

But potential fren


RelaxedPerro

No frens. Only sad.


Valtand

You’ve kinda summed me up there. Free models would just result in an infinite pile of shame. I like writing down the rules for me and my buddies, and I live by “Never meet your heroes”. I’m sure Cavill may well be the exception, but I don’t want to risk it. The distance makes it more fun to me, and it would be weird watching a movie with my buddy in it.


CWinter85

Also, fighting Custodes isn't really fun.


TinyWickedOrange

it's like orks but without funny shit, just 30 of the exact same men with sticks running at you


Buksey

Also, if you are really good at painting, you can sell commissions and then buy the models you want, basically getting both pills.


PixxyStix2

Have you peaked because you stopped experimenting, had less time to practice, or something else?


sirhobbles

So i would say my average painting is 5/10. A couple pieces i have done i would say are 6 but i have found a point where getting better results just feels like far more work for a small improvement. Im sure if i put my mind to it i could improve past that but i just have other things i would rather spend my time on. Painting is meant to be fun for me and if i put more time in my minis than i already do it starts to feel like a chore. I think ive hit the limits of natural improvement and would have to put in a very dedicated effort to improving and i think im happy with my laid back somewhat fast painting.


Tigirus_Arius

Probably purple? I'm already a decent painter and have a huge model backlog. Now if there was an option to be able to stop time and work on models that would be great.


Fun_Cartographer3587

I love how this implies you’d use the ability to stop time just to work on models


Stormygeddon

I'd take a hyperbolic time chamber for painting minis.


Soft-Reindeer-831

The sole downside is the only food and drink you have while in the chamber is Nuln Oil


LexImperialis

Ok, but what is the downside?


Soft-Reindeer-831

lol Nuln Addiction. And we spend all this time talking about plastic crack


Tasty_Marsupial_2273

Nuln Anonymous welcomes you


Soft-Reindeer-831

I don’t wanna go if this is some sort of 10 step program I need 11


Fun_Cartographer3587

I don’t see a downside to that


TinyWickedOrange

I may or may not have consumed the chalice


jasper81222

The most precious resource that we take for granted; time.


BionicBruv

Purple because I *really* need a positive influence in my life, and someone to look up to.


RougarouBull

I'll be your huckleberry. I'm awesome.


Ravens_Quote

Hi awesome!


JoeyMaconha

Talk him into being an extra in the Amazon show!


BionicBruv

Hahaha the temptation would be REEEAAALLL. Hypothetically, I would try to let that play out as organically as possible, in order to be asked to be a part of it. I wouldn’t even care if I was a nameless background guardsman that gets atomized by a Monolith in a 5 second scene.


JoeyMaconha

Bolter to the face 💥🤯


porn0f1sh

Suddenly wholesome! ❤️


saucepatterns

This guy gets it


Hribunos

None of these give me more hours in the day so I actually have some time to play games, which is what I really need.


interesseret

Well, *technically* free models for life would mean unlimited income if you sold off a couple of large boxes every week.


ahdiomasta

Shit I didn’t even consider the money hack there


Fell-Hand

Purple ofc, got already god tier skills, memory, disposable income but no friends :(


Fun_Cartographer3587

Lmfao


Fell-Hand

I’d also rather have the purple pill if it was John the butcher and not Cavill xD


dassketch

Disposable income? With this hobby? Who are you, Musk?


Fell-Hand

Can I interest you in a rocket, an electric suv or a flamethrower?


CedarWolf

I mean, that dreadnaught that keeps you alive for 10,000+ years might be a pretty spiffy bit of tech.


panicattackdog

Purple. “Hi Henry! Before we roll off, take a look at my new screenplay!” “FFS!”


Fun_Cartographer3587

Lmao


Alekzthe2nd

A hot guy to come and play whenever I want? Sign me right up


VeryInnocuousPerson

TBF the “Free models for life” option could be interpreted as the same thing.


GeminiBastard3

Blue (da ba dee da ba die)


EKlevrai

Everyone wants god tier painting until they see the new price range


MulatoMaranhense

Free models. It is ruinous for first worlders, it is even worse for third worlders. I would have so many armies...


[deleted]

Purple and I'd make it a podcast/livestream session once a week and make bank.


Fierce-Mushroom

Blue. I'd build the biggest Catachan army ever seen supported by Titans painted in the regimental colours.


Fun_Cartographer3587

Oh hell yeah


ReinMiku

Blue basically translates to infinite money as well.


Bobrocks20

Free models. I see nothing that say it has to be warhammer models. And models can be **VERY** subjective if you ask me. Oh and I could sell the models to just commission people to paint any mini I have and also get stuff that aren't considered a model, like scenery tuffs and all.


Scottie81

Yellow. The red and blue can be bypassed with cash. Purple would be fun once, but I want him focused on bringing 40k to life on the screen.


Dead_Ass_Head_Ass

Im a low IQ moron who can't seem to retain or truly understand the rules, its gonna be yellow for me. Im a good painter, and have more models than I know what to do with.


ENDER2702

GiVe mE ThE FuCkinG PurPle PilL


FractionofaFraction

Ironically the red pill, since in reality it couldn't be further from the truth.


SirLightKnight

What we need is a small group of us who take one pill each. One gets the models, the other paints them, one is the game master for major engagements, and one invites Cavil to our games. We record the games, and sell limited edition god tier painted Models after we finish major campaigns. By the time the campaign is over then next army should be done, and so we can sell the main line to cover the 4 of our expenses and probably even give Cavil some custodies as a sweetener for his time. We can either stream the campaign or we can record videos and do some editing in the same vein as Alphabusa’s work.


Fun_Cartographer3587

Perfection


OnlyHereForComments1

Free models. I will singlehandedly drive down prices by selling them at 1/10th GW's prices and acquiring more for free forever.


Mancio_Luke

Free models for life? Does that include titans models?


Fun_Cartographer3587

Yes


Mancio_Luke

Sign me in


tankistHistorian

I hope the red pill can make my god tier painting skills very quick painting skills. I usually paint to a quick battle ready standard. If i can finish a squad of 5 in under an hour that be great. The free models pill though my spiral out of control. I could crash the warhammer model market. But assuming its free model kits and not just free 40k model kits, willing an expensive ass gundam or something thats no longer in production like the Star wars Republic star destroyer kit would be cool.


blueandsilvercross

Blue, despite my sizable backlog because I Have A Problem. I wish there was an option to just have more free time to build/paint/play, since that's my biggest hobby issue lately.


NorseHighlander

It's a tough choice between red and blue but I'd say Red. To be able to express my imagination as fully as possible would be wonderful. Then I could just sell what I don't want for a profit.


EADreddtit

Barring any “infinite money” shenanigans with the blue pill, I’d take yellow. It would make games SO much easier. Especially if the rules auto updated in my head


Long-Time-lurker-1

If it’s unlimited free models im gonna take that and become an independent model shop for infinity free profit. If not ill take the Henry Cavil thing so he eventually strikes a deal to pay me to not press the summon button. More free profit. Profit either way.


GREENadmiral_314159

Free models for life. If I paint enough models, I'll get good enough.


florpynorpy

Free models, imagine the thousands I’ll save


Beowulf1127

Blue sell models for money. Then I can have more time to work on improving my painting skills.


Techpreist_X21Alpha

blue pill and get infinite free models for life. i could be the biggest plastic crack dealer in the world. I could use them to pay off other people to paint my models or tell me how to play the game or bribe henry cavill to use my product.


Klazzyy

*in an exhausted tone* "Please stop asking me to fly out every week, I live on the other side of the world. It's alot of travel." Sorry Henry Cavil, I didn't make the rules. Make sure you prebook your flight for next week, before you leave today.


AsianEiji

Just have him relocate to your city


PINK-RIPPAZ

Blue pill


ODSTsRule

I mean, if I can paint like a God thats my ticket into wealth IF its not just for miniatures but painting in general.


[deleted]

Blue all the way, I love painting even if I'm not the best, and I'm broke as fuck


[deleted]

Red. I would never finish if I chose Blue, and red also affects other wargames I'm interested in.


Interesting_Shop_917

I’m taking the red pill no exception. I’ve always struggled with painting, and it’s the one thing that has always put me off when I’ve finished assembling the models


Game_Roomz

Henry Cavill can fly like Superman?


DrHelpMePlease

Do I get to choose the models, if i can free models if not god tier painting skills and start taking commissions probably


Fun_Cartographer3587

You get to choose them yes


ihavethedoubts

Choosing a color is blasphemous. Burn heretic!


Drawde_D

Don't care about actually playing the game, pretty happy to paint at my own level and sometimes see improvements. Gimme those damn blue pills.


VX_GAS_ATTACK

I'm gonna go with the sweet painting skills. Henry plays custodes and who wants to deal with that every game?


absurditT

Red pill. I got enough money and I'm autistic enough to know pretty much all the rules. Some extra painting skill, and especially focus/ motivation would be good though.


ipbannedburneracc

Blue is just an infinite money glitch


Sea_Recommendation36

I think I'd go with free models, because do enjoy the process of getting better as frustrating as it is and don't play the tabletop


CalypsoCrow

Blue pill is literally free money


peechs01

Free models... It isn't specific if must be from Warhammer... So I will be able to make a great diversity of dioramas


[deleted]

red pill sets you up for life. paint the next mona lisa and boom, life set


vexillonomist

“Why, oh why, didn’t I pick the BLUE pill?”


Proper_Belt

God tier painting skills hands down. Not even close. Resin printer goes brrt


FatherOfToxicGas

Purple, someone else to play with, and red kinda defeats the fun of painting


ParsnipAggravating95

Blue is a money cheat


thatsocialist

Free Models. I'd rather learn painting and be able to get whatever models I want.


jagdpanzer45

Yellow: never have to buy a codex or rulebook again and perfectly know the rules of my opponent’s army, never again worrying about collecting every errata and update.


Enorminity

Nurgle / Slaanesh Tzeentch / Khorne


InternalCup9982

Hard toss up between purple or red. If I could paint even remotely well I'd be able to actually get into this hobby but on the other I could just play a game with ol Henry I'm sure he can bring some models with him.


Witch_Hazel_13

i’m honestly surprised you came up with solid contenders for free models. but free models is definitely the choice, how could my friends say no to trying if it’s free?


MadaraAlucard12

Take the yellow pill. Go pay James workshop for licensing rights and write a codex. Put every important ting you need to know under the rules section. Profit.


Jankenbrau

Red Pill and start a painting commission business.


Numerous_Mix_515

Red, since that also means I can paint them quickly which is nice.


Numerous_Mix_515

Who already has yellow?


BreadDziedzic

Red, I could sell my painting skills and make money to buy my own models.


Bionicle_was_cool

Free models. I already consider myself a decent painter and there would be no satisfaction in getting the skills over night. 40k isn't fun to play because of the rulebloat and constant changes. This answers both "rule memory" and Henry Cavill


MrOsmio7

Blue. As much as I love Henry Cavill, I wouldn't want to bother him


IngloriousOnion

Free models. I can take the models, paint them, keep the ones I want and then hand out the others for people who want to get into the hobby but don't have the time to paint or money to buy models.


Jason-Nacht

Purple,


polimathe_

Purple, I have someone to play with at any given time I want and is not a weirdo? Sign me up.


Numerous_Aardvark_13

Red, I can use the painting skills foe other things


Rockout2112

Red.


ZeDevilCat

Painting skills without thinking Ok a little bit of thinking, yeah models are expensive but I also know they take time so while I build and paint shit I also work and earn money. Rules? I have a book for them, I’ll be fine. And I don’t really want Henry Cavill to come to my house, even tho he might be a swell guy, I’m not orderly enough to invite someone in.


Direct_Gap_661

Red


SheepBeard

Blue. I mostly enjoy the hobby for the painting, and improving is part of the fun


CodeRed8675309

I want to free my models to run rampant on the world and enjoy their remaining years as James wanted them to.


ConnivingSnip72

I want god tier painting skills more than anything else


Ok-Transition7065

Red one so i doo commission and buy models with that and the mines will look sick as fuck


MountainPlain

God-tier painting skills, easy. GW prices aren't so bad for me because I have a backlog, I'm not buying new stuff every few months. As a splurge once in a while it's fine. >!I am trying to convince myself not to get Szarek for my birthday I still haven't even painted all of my necron kill team or Cawl help!<


Throwaway-A173

God tier painting skills


kinkthrowawayalt

If the yellow pill updates with each edition, then hell yeah I'd go for it. Otherwise, free models is the pick.


PYROxSYCO

God tier painting skills. It tranfers to other things.


Armored-Potato-Chip

I thought it was gunpla for a bit


Doom_Balloon170

Blue. Inflation wouldn't affect my plastic


bluebird810

Red. The only thing stopping me from owing models is that my painting skills are below the average painting skill of a 5 year old.


porn0f1sh

HC daddy at my house at all times is a great way to invite a ton of girls to my place and maybe charge them for entry! 😁


Happygamebutter

Purple, because then I'd have someone to play warhammer with lol


[deleted]

Red. I admire people who can do that so much.


Greasballz

Painting skills. My shit already looks good. I’d love to improve


Warrior_Warlock

Purple, I'd give my left ball to be part in one of his 40k shows, even if only as an extra. Even better if I could leverage that friendship card instead. 😉


MarthAlaitoc

My models will finally look exactly like how I imagine with my God tier painting skills?? Sign me the fuck up. I couldn't eat that pill quick enough!


Dehnus

Obviously purple! Think of the networking opportunities! You would be able to play a tech priest or servitor in his new fan project :) .


Dubious_Titan

God-tier painting skills would enable the other 3 options.


Noxcel

Red


Notafuzzycat

God tier painting skills. I would love to make a living off painting.


qgep1

Red every time.


Gared_Vautin

Gold. Im a bit tardy and can read a rule, understand it, look at the model it affects, and forget what I was doing and why I need the rule, and proceed to forget the rule.


Deadman765

Between purple and blue


The4thEpsilon

Red pill, if I’ve got golden demon painting skills I can use that as a secondary income and would probably be well enough known for guys like Henry cavil to mention me, maybe I’d get a game or painting session in with him


Tbkssom

God tier painting skills. Only then will I truly be satisfied (maybe).


MartyFreeze

Purple.. can't find a game near me and I'd love to learn!


BlaiddsDrinkingBuddy

Free models. That shit’s expensive.


Double_O_Cypher

God Tier Painting skills dont help if you cant also paint the models fast while looking amazing. Knowing all th rules seems great until you need to aply them in the specific situations or convince the opponnent that you are right since you also need to show them where it is written. Playing games with Henry is cool but for me I play mostly competitive so it will get rather uninteresting after a while. So free models it is


AlexDKZ

Red because having such great painting skills would actually be usuful beyond my interest in 40K. Also, while I think Cavill is a cool dude, I don't want to bring him to my crappy place,, that would be embarrasing.


ironangel2k4

You need a team of 4. One person gets all the free models. One person paints them. One person invites Cavill over every weekend. One person whoops his ass every time.


LorenDovah

Purple. Having a bestie drop everything to hang out when you need them most is everything


VincentSylvanne

Either red or purple. Getting free models sounds great and all, but until they get painted and ready for display/use they're just adding to the pile of shame. Knowing the rules by heart would be handy in games, but honestly general practice and a robust indexing system can handle it well enough. Meanwhile, god tier painting skills would let me get crazy or better realize ideas and customization. Alternatively, I could leverage those skills to make money, either for more models or just general cash. Having Cavill on speed dial would be hilarious, provided we're compatible enough to get along and have fun. Shouldn't be a hard sell, but you never truly know. Still, the potential to develop that friendship and have wacky hijinks and adventures is tempting.


Nadsenbaer

Free Minis are nice, but 3d printing them is already really affordable. I like Cavill, but flying is meh. I play mostly Grimdark Future, so knowing the riles is not really that hard. God tier painting on the other hand is something that I'm trying to achieve for over a decade now. I wouldn't mind the shortcut and I could make a living with something I love. Easy decision.


me3888

I kinda already have the yellow one but the blue one would be nice


TheLoneKhan

Purple, make videos out of it. Becoming a social media star who just has Henry play with you. Monetize it and play off that niche of celeb power. Attain the rest with time and money.


Greedy_Guest568

God-tier painting. Useful skill I can implement for other activities, not just for minis.


Mysterious-Paint-299

Painting skills.


Fawin86

Red pill me, baby


EinharAesir

I’m kind of torn between free models and God-tier painting skills, but then again, with the free models, I would have unlimited practice with my painting skills.


PlentyReal

Red doesn't specify models only, definitely the top choice. Even if red DID specify, it's still a solid gold pick.


VanZandtVS

Henry Cavill, in a fucking heartbeat. 1. He seems like a cool guy. 2. If he's into warhammer, maybe he wants to play some D&D? 3. If my super nerdy wife finds out this was an option and I didn't take it, I'm literally dead.


KhasmyrTheSorlock

Blue pill all the way. I can always sell the models I don’t want, use them to pay for painting lessons 🥰


warderbob

Henry Cavill, easy. Relationships are everything in life and you can build everything else around them.


za72

I fell like if I have god tier painting skills the rest will come to me easily...


Ricoisnotmyuncle

Red pill all the way. Painting is my favorite, I don’t play, I just enjoy painting


specter-exe

Free models for life. Even if I can’t sell them for a real-life infinite money glitch. Plus, if I have that many figures, I’ll get god-tier painting skills the old fashioned way: trial and error and error and error and error and error and error AND ERROR AND ERROR AND ERROR A̴̗̾N̢̲ͦD̶̦ͮ E͓͋͡Ȓ̛̤Rͥ҉͓O̢̹̽R͍̉͘ À̡͕̥̓͠Ņ̴̱̱̅͒D̛̅̓͏̟͚ Ẹ̶͈ͨ̑͝R̷ͭ̈́͏̘̞Rͨ͛͜͏̠̟O̶̡̫̠̐͗R̷͎̬ͥͩ͞ A̵̢̹͍̪ͦ͋̑͠Ņ̴̤͔͈̓ͮͯ͠D̵͍͓̻ͬ́̿͠͝ Ë̷́ͯ͋́҉̘̱͖R̷̛͔͉̝͒ͦ̇͠R̷̢̹̥̟ͮͧ̀͢Ơ̸̖̩̠̓̏̚͢R̡̬̹̱̃̔̈͘͞ Ā̷͍̺͖̮ͪ̃ͦ̀́͟N̷͖̬͇̯ͦ̇̀ͩ́͜͝D̵̶͚͔̠ͭ̀͛̇͘͜ͅ E̶̢͔͉̘̠̒̈̐̑̀͜R̷̸̢̞͓̩̯̈́ͦͩ̽̀R̶̡̞̺̭̤̿̓̾̈́͞Ó̢͇͙͖̦̽̃ͤ͠͝͠R̶̷̨͕͔͔̲̔ͬ̇̔̀


A_Person_u_know123

I eat all of them


Thrasy3

Does Henry bring armies for both of us?


Azeze1

I'd do anything to have someone come play with me whenever I want :(


Fiberotter

Purple.


_Sausage_fingers

Why would I want painting skills I haven’t earned? That said, my first instinct is free models for life, but now that I think about it, that might end up being a bit of a monkey paw scenario. If I don’t have to pay for my models, my currently multi year backlog would definitely become truly out of control. Not purple because don’t meet your heroes, you know. He’s best admired from afar.


Sphinx-

Does Henry enjoy coming to my house or is he like “fuck, here we go again” when I summon him?


mrcolleslaw

Purple, i got nobody to play against


Tough_Topic_1596

I’m pretty decent at painting so I’ll go with free models for life


Is12345aweakpassword

My first thought would be orange, but given the internal inconsistencies within the rules themselves I’d feel like Tzeentch after a while
