Johnmasters1234 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Evening TGA. Been looking for a theme for my BCR and a few ideas have been put to me and one has really stuck. I would like to do an African Savannah themed BCR. Animal furs such as Zebras, giraffes, hyenas etc. Now for the ogor riders....I'd like to do dark skinned ogors to be accurate to theme. My girlfriend on hearing this said "are you sure this is ok?" Now I didn't think there was anything wrong with this. However it got me thinking, is it ok? Am I going to get backlash at events and on twitter? What's everyone's thoughts on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never seen an issue brought up with models that have a non Caucasian skin tone. In fact I’ve seen quite a free nice armies with darker tones even ones you wouldn’t expect like deepkin. Also GW are even in some ways pushing it themselves recently a number of their darkoath models have very dark skin tones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramer Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Nah unless you have some very distasteful back stories you’ll be fine! 😂 make sure you use a purple shade in the skin tones. I just couldn’t get it right until I ran into that advise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnmasters1234 Posted May 5, 2019 Author Share Posted May 5, 2019 It's all very in theme and tasteful haha. I just feel wrong painting it all African Savannah-esque and then painting all Caucasian flesh tones. Seems worse to do that than dark skinned. Thanks for the replies guys. Now onto the planning.

XReN Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Probably no one in this hobby will have problems with it, and if they do you have the right to tell them that it's not their buisness And the same principle fully applies to any snowflake with tons upon tons of BS in their heads that you might encounter online. For personal oppinion - go for it, the wholle idea sounds amazing, I don't see how it can be wrong with any reasonable person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
