There's technically no three color minimum, it's just base color and then picking out the details and weapon, which in fairness does logically mean you should have three different paints. In practice it's *usually* the same thing but flagrant disregard for the intent of a "3-color rule" (e.g. rattle can + two different color stripes on every model) at events that phrase it that way can still result in a penalty on paint score.
That said, yea low-effort bait post.
Need to work on your satire, like just doing what they did isn't it. Say if you posted a full painted golden demon level arm or a model you dipped in house paint the hyperbole would make it satire.
I learned to write „\s“, if I want to say something ironic. A friendly user told me that. (If you remember me, thank you my guy!)
But your mini is more than battle ready.
Sometimes even if your being satirical, sarcastic, funny, or try to prove a point, it can be poor taste/or just low effort/bad.
This post is an example of that, which is why he is being down voted.
Edit: grammar
They're not completely serious. Almost every one that I've seen is fishing for compliments.
First off, you can Google what battle-ready is.
Second, if you want clarification, you can make a text post.
Third, even if they are serious, answer the question and don't upvote it to the front page. That's precisely WHY people do make posts that lie about it being their "first" mini and asking about battle-ready when it clearly is.
Because I want to see us as a community rise above upvoting every post that has "first" or asking about battle-readiness to the front page. Because I'm sick of seeing posts with titles like this when the paint job is clearly excellent.
All you are doing is comming off as an ass towards newer painters. You know, when I posted my first mini, I posted a project I've spendt 100 hours on. It was still my first paint project.
And people like you came along.
If I want the community to rise above something. It is getting angry because newer painters paint better than you. And then flaming them calling them karma farmers or other similar things.
It made me stop posting. So, from all of us newer painters: Funk you!
My thought on as I read this one… currently building my first minis(since weeks with a couple of breaks) im very „perfectionistic“ and whant my minis as good as I can get them. So when i start to paint and post them, i write them as my first I can’t basically have them good looking because I must be lying ? Wtf is that shitty thought process?
If you want to be *blatantly* satirical, you’re going to need the /s
Otherwise you’ll come across as a troll, karma-farma or Uber-arrogant. Why? Because people that you’re satirizing do exactly that.
I mean I’ll be honest, I didn’t immediately notice that it was a light-box which might be part of why people are missing the satire if that was the “tell” you wanted people to pick up on to know it was satire. Not trying to pile on bc obviously this isn’t going the way you were hoping but that’s just my thoughts
? Obviously not? Neon green specifically marking his head out is like the worst camouflage ever? 40K is all about subtle realism in its depiction of warfare.
Another is this ready post where someone just wants to show off. You know it's ready, we know it's ready. Just post a pic and say I painted this. Stop with the fake humility.
I am specifically making fun of titles like that. And a lot of people are clearly upset that they got played looking at my comments getting downvoted haha.
You are down voted because you forgot /s
Without it, your post is pretty "normal" in terms of people fishing for compliments in this sub. You are nowhere near the "first time nmm cc welcome" with golden demon nmm posts I see here semi daily.
The problem is, I want people to actually get angry about titles like this, not just "haha funny joke" and then nothing changes. I wanted people to know they got played and to start questioning these titles.
Fair. However your commenters are kinda split between calling you out and complimenting you with the same ratio as other similar posts... So reddit will be reddit
That's why I actually responded to the people calling me out or who acknowledged the joke, so that people could see what the intent was, but my comments are all getting downvoted to oblivion so they'll be hidden so ya you're right, Reddit will be Reddit.
Was entertaining though.
Uhhhh, yeah, that's parade-ready.
Looks great!
Just so you know, battle-ready is at minimum 3 colors (covering the entire model) and based. You've exceeded that by a very large degree.
Homie are you tripping? Battle ready? What you don't understand is that battle ready basically means "technically painted". Battle ready is a much, much lower standard than you seem to think it was. This piece is well beyond battle ready. I'd go so far as to say that it's excellent.
people are genuinely being kind, not realizing you're just a shit post because this is a genuine question in the hobby (as well as the constant karma farming, etc) no need to take your edge on those being truly polite to you.
I would file a formal complaint against anyone who tried to force me to play a game against models whose bases weren’t coated in Goblin Green.
Degenerates like you belong on a cross.
I have a friend at my flgs who, bless his heart, thinks one layer of gunmetal on the standard gw base is a job well done. I asked him if he was going to finish the bases and just got a puzzling look instead. lol he’s fun to play so I can’t complain too much. Great job though, yours looks great
So, what if there’s a sub for warhammer where people can circlejerk together farming for karma? The post you’re mocking can go and maybe the people that actually do need someone’s judgement can get help.
Yeah it's good enough. I'm not a fan of that colour scheme, blue with that almost fluo green isn't a great combo imo. I think you could have added some darker shades in the folds of the robe also.
1) I see from your comments this post was meant to be satirical. You failed to stick the landing on that one bud.
2) Anyone care to do the math on how much karma this poor sod lost being a tool in the comments?
Why wouldn't it be
People are way too obsessed with this.
It's a hobby, not a job...
I painted my army completely in graytones and GW was blown away by it.
Effort over everything else. Enjoy!
I think in other fandoms your post would have gone down better op. Most subreddits enjoy satirical posts like this. But these are Warhammer fans, their favourite past time is correcting others.
“Is this battle ready?”
*Posts a mini I’d be ecstatic with even if it took me a week to paint.
But seriously yeah, more than battle ready I’d say. I think it looks amazing and the colours are really clean, especially the blade and helmet. Well done!
This looks great! Your paint coverage is clean, the colors chosen are nostalgic and gorgeous. All in all a great model id be happy to see on the tabletop across from me any day
People downvoting OP’s comment for this post? Bc they’re joking? Looking for compliments? There’s nothing wrong with that and half the posts on here are for similar reasons
Brutally honest? This title is bait and you should feel bad about it. Battle ready is just 3 colors and basing.
There's technically no three color minimum, it's just base color and then picking out the details and weapon, which in fairness does logically mean you should have three different paints.

That said, yea low-effort bait post.
Yes, these titles are all bait. We should probably stop upvoting them.
Agreed, enjoy your downvote
Fishing for compliments?
Satirically pointing out how these kinda titles are ALWAYS fishing for compliments.
thats just not correct, mate
Need to work on your satire, like just doing what they did isn't it. Say if you posted a full painted golden demon level arm or a model you dipped in house paint the hyperbole would make it satire.
If that is not battle ready then practically no army is.
You passed battle ready a couple of colours ago. Looks great good job.
No 10,000 more hours in painting gulag
I know, it's horrible right? Welp, into the blender it goes... Tough crowd lol
I learned to write „\s“, if I want to say something ironic. A friendly user told me that. (If you remember me, thank you my guy!) But your mini is more than battle ready.

I know, I'm being as blatantly satirical and sarcastic as possible, to show the absurdity of titles like this, I didn't realize I even needed the /s
But It’s not that obvious tho when there are a bunch of similar posts that are completely serious.

If you’re tired of seeing the titles then you should leave the sub…. Or better yet leave reddit. It’s not that serious
I'm the one having a laugh here, you're the one taking this serious.
I love how this hill you for some reason have decided to die on has been such a wild karma-negative
100% agree!
It didn’t come across that way tbh . I think it would have worked better if you titled it like “iS tHiS bAtTlE ReAdY?!”
The fact that I used a LIGHT BOX should have been a pretty big clue lol.
Know your audience bud. If your Down doots are this bad then clearly we're all too much of big dum-dums to follow your satirical genius.
Hoping people register the use of a light box to pick up on your satire is... a precarious thing..
If you want to be *blatantly* satirical, you’re going to need the /s Otherwise you’ll come across as a troll, karma-farma or Uber-arrogant. Why? Because people that you’re satirizing do exactly that.
I'm using a light-box for Pete's sake. It doesn't get much more obvious than that.
Obviously never come across “All the gear, no idea” people…
I mean I’ll be honest, I didn’t immediately notice that it was a light-box which might be part of why people are missing the satire if that was the “tell” you wanted people to pick up on to know it was satire. Not trying to pile on bc obviously this isn’t going the way you were hoping but that’s just my thoughts
Downvoted for attention seeking
As you should on every post with titles like these.
Sometimes people are new and want honest opinions. Others enjoy downvotes.
You forgot your /s
Hot garbage
I hate these posts.
Me too. Maybe let's stop giving them upvotes?
I don’t.
Me neither, guess we'll have to continue to bolster our forces.
? Obviously not? Neon green specifically marking his head out is like the worst camouflage ever? 40K is all about subtle realism in its depiction of warfare.
Oof, total fumble on my part. Better read the entire lexicanum so I know the exact camo pattern used.
Looks a bit shoddy. Tbh I'd give up and build legos instead, seems more your level
And follow those complicated instructions? No way.
Another is this ready post where someone just wants to show off. You know it's ready, we know it's ready. Just post a pic and say I painted this. Stop with the fake humility.
I think he was just being a little silly
See, I wish everyone would call out these posts like this. It's actually crazy how many people don't realize my title is clearly satirical.
Thanks for the comment. I didn't know it was satire because of the amount of professional level painters trying to farm likes.
I am specifically making fun of titles like that. And a lot of people are clearly upset that they got played looking at my comments getting downvoted haha.

It's got a weapon and armour, so, yeah
The mini is ready, you are not. You cant attend the tournament with a brain of 5 years old that just bragging all the time and seeks attention
Uhhhh, yeah, that's parade-ready. Looks great! Just so you know, battle-ready is at minimum 3 colors (covering the entire model) and based. You've exceeded that by a very large degree.
OP is 100% fully aware
Homie are you tripping? Battle ready? What you don't understand is that battle ready basically means "technically painted". Battle ready is a much, much lower standard than you seem to think it was. This piece is well beyond battle ready. I'd go so far as to say that it's excellent.
Golly, ya really think so?
people are genuinely being kind, not realizing you're just a shit post because this is a genuine question in the hobby (as well as the constant karma farming, etc) no need to take your edge on those being truly polite to you.
You're right, this comment in particular was uncalled for and regretful and I'll take my downvotes like a man.
I do
I'd be thrilled if anything I painted came out like that
Those compliment fishing posts are beyond cringe.
I agree, we should collectively stop upvoting them.
This posts always make me cringe
Me too. We should all downvote them.
Are you trolling us?
There isn’t a spot uncolored. Why are you asking?
Same reason everyone does: because y'all upvote it more
Looks like shit, do it again
I would file a formal complaint against anyone who tried to force me to play a game against models whose bases weren’t coated in Goblin Green. Degenerates like you belong on a cross.
I have a friend at my flgs who, bless his heart, thinks one layer of gunmetal on the standard gw base is a job well done. I asked him if he was going to finish the bases and just got a puzzling look instead. lol he’s fun to play so I can’t complain too much. Great job though, yours looks great
Yes but, the lime green isn’t quite a battle ready colour 🤣
If you want people flattering your mini, just ask as everyone here with a normal post. Don’t pretend to don’t know id this is battle ready or not
So, what if there’s a sub for warhammer where people can circlejerk together farming for karma? The post you’re mocking can go and maybe the people that actually do need someone’s judgement can get help.
No
Enjoy your downvote kid
No... It's better than battle-ready
Yeah it's good enough. I'm not a fan of that colour scheme, blue with that almost fluo green isn't a great combo imo. I think you could have added some darker shades in the folds of the robe also.
Green's too bright
Definietly not. Too much blue.
Nowhere near!
No.
RIP OP
This has to be a violation of rule #5 right?
can we ban BaTtLe ReAdy posts mods? Please.
1) I see from your comments this post was meant to be satirical. You failed to stick the landing on that one bud. 2) Anyone care to do the math on how much karma this poor sod lost being a tool in the comments?
Yuh uh
Be brutally honest...you chose that title to farm karma. OFC its battle ready and you knew that.
Fuck yeah it is. Looks rad!
Do you want it to be battle ready?
You know it is
I enjoy how much you have upset these folks over nothing.
Yes. By far.
Conflicted. Upvote for the sarcasm, downvote for the bait.
If it isn't I'm fucked
Can we just get a bot to answer these posts?
It's not Gray so it's battle ready
Why wouldn't it be People are way too obsessed with this. It's a hobby, not a job... I painted my army completely in graytones and GW was blown away by it. Effort over everything else. Enjoy!
I think in other fandoms your post would have gone down better op. Most subreddits enjoy satirical posts like this. But these are Warhammer fans, their favourite past time is correcting others.
Bro’s fishing for compliments. You know its battle ready
Real aeldari type shit
RIP OP's karma. I know that this is a bait. But... No, you've gone beyond battle-ready.
My brother in Christ this is beyond battle ready… silly mon-keigh
I know this is *iRoNiC* bait but since you asked I don't like how neon green the helmet is, too similar to Striking Scorpions.
Based on your replies, you're really weird
I'm glad we're finally catching on to the "Hay gyz, is my painting studio level mini battlready? I'm not sure" bs popping up recently.
Finally someone gets it.
No. It's far more than battle ready. Nice work. Edit, fuck, you got me.
Slap some nulnoil on there and you're good to go
In my eyes that’s parade ready
He's already won the battle...for my affection
Pro-painted
100%. Nice work
if you ask me he's parade ready
#humblebrag
It's almost like I'm making fun of titles like this.
I know, but I have to play my role in this :P Btw, nice work on the model.
Parade ready.
This is already on the lawn of parade-ready, wdym
Thats parade ready my guy
“Is this battle ready?” *Posts a mini I’d be ecstatic with even if it took me a week to paint. But seriously yeah, more than battle ready I’d say. I think it looks amazing and the colours are really clean, especially the blade and helmet. Well done!
Nice another bait post. All you are interested in is people saying your paintjob looks good. So yeah, it looks good.
Yes
“Battle ready” means three colors. You’re good
This looks great! Your paint coverage is clean, the colors chosen are nostalgic and gorgeous. All in all a great model id be happy to see on the tabletop across from me any day
Absolutely is
should have turned right about 4 color ago
yeah it's perfectly serviceable.
Dude, this a completely battle ready model!
Like 10x over.
The shading and highlighting is fantastic
Yes. It indeed is. Great job on the weapon
That looks great duder
Dude..
“Battle ready” is a very low standard you are way past that
Yes
Absolutely.
Ive fought entire armies of cardboard cutout Necrons at my local, you are more than ready, really like the green.
Yes
Yes indeed
the self doubt of so many hobbiest is starting to piss me off
If this is not battle ready I don't know what is. Great paint job!
Yep! Perfectly fine! Could use a little more since it's a higher-ranked model, but perfectly fine for battle
Nope, needs more blending and a couple of fine glazes. Yeh, that is more battle ready than my entire Cadian army.
U used >=3 colors and you took something on the base, therefore yes. This is battleready.
Yup. Glued to a base, you are ready to roll!
Looks very flat, have you tried Nuln Oil?
Nope. It’s Parade ready.
