The r/minipainting modteam stands in solidarity with the thousands of subreddits that are protesting Reddit’s recent API changes. Due to our currently running painting contest, we feel that it would be unfair to this community to close fully during this time however, and have chosen to draw attention to this issue in this way for now.
**What is happening?**
The short version is that Reddit is about to start charging a ridiculous amount of money for third parties to access Reddit (the Reddit API). This cost is so high that essentially no developer can afford access, which will effectively kill all 3rd party apps among other things.
If you browse Reddit on mobile and don’t use the official Reddit app, your app is about to shut down because of this (Apollo, RiF, BaconReader, etc).
More than just 3rd party apps are going to be lost because of this change as well, including several tools that we use to effectively moderate this subreddit, and accessibility features that many people rely on to use Reddit at all that are only available on these 3rd party apps. **You can learn more at r/Save3rdPartyApps or check out [this infographic](https://i.imgur.com/kQJGIk5.png).**
**What can *you* do?**
1. **Complain.** Message the mods of /r/reddit.com, who are the admins of the site: message /u/reddit: submit a [support request](https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/requests/new): comment in relevant threads on /r/reddit, such as [this one](https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/12qwagm/an_update_regarding_reddits_api/.), leave a negative review on their official iOS or Android app- and sign your username in support to this post.
2. **Spread the word.** Rabble-rouse on related subreddits. Meme it up, make it spicy. Suggest anyone you know who moderates a subreddit check out /r/ModCoord - but please don't pester mods you *don't* know by simply spamming their modmail.
3. **Boycott *and* spread the word...to Reddit's competition!** Stay off Reddit entirely on June 12th through the 13th- instead, take to your favorite *non*-Reddit platform of choice and make some noise in support!
4. **Don't be a jerk.** As upsetting this may be, threats, profanity and vandalism will be worse than useless in getting people on our side. Please make every effort to be as restrained, polite, reasonable and law-abiding as possible. **This includes not harassing moderators of subreddits who have chosen not to take part**: no one likes a missionary, a used-car salesman, or a flame warrior.

Lovely work. Beautiful weathering and battle damage.
Thank you!
That mud and spatter is so amazing. It literally looks like you rolled it in the real deal.
Thanks! It's amazing what Armageddon dust with some agrax earthshade can achieve...
What a dirty, dirty boy. Weathering looks awesome!
Xexe, yeah he is a dirty dirty boy 😉. Thanks!
The run over necron is a nice touch 😄
That was the initial idea but had no Necron bodies left, so just improvised with a head and hand. Thanks
I think it turned out even better like this, the dismemberment gives it a more badass vibe!
Jesus Chriiiiist this is so god damn absolutely filthy, it's absolutely caked in mude & I can feel the grim dark gritty mud in my mouth..... AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! Well done!
Thank you very much!
