Personally, I don't mind buying upgrade sprues to do that up to a point... But there's a White Scar shaped elephant in the room here where this sculpt gives me the impression I'd have to cut so much off this mini that it would nearly be easier to stick wheels on their jetbike guy and call it a day.

Thank you! They were definitely the most fun parts to paint!

I did win a victory points game in round 5 of a tournament thanks to Yriel failing to not hit himself with his spear after the game ended. That put me in 3rd place for the event while my opponent would have hit 1st if he won if I remember the scores correctly. He was understandably thrilled.

To this day I've never seen anyone field a Shining Spear. Perhaps a great example of this codex having some really point dense options that just didn't do enough for the space they took up or there were cheaper or more versatile units that got you the same result. See also Fire Prisms.

Arguments between Daemonhunters and Eldar players over whether or not Incinerators fell under the nebulous wording of the Avatar's flame immunity wasn't fun. A particular player painted his incinerators as super soakers and argued they sprayed holy water to spite his mate. They're no longer friends.

I fucking hated having power fist sergeants singled out by Mind War before being charged by a T8 Wraithlord I couldn't possibly hurt. It felt rare to see Eldar without at least one of those unless it was the flying circus where everything was on a jetbike or in a transport.

Saw one guy at a tournament spamming vibro cannons and Farseers with Eldritch storm - purely to fuck with vehicles since Rhino rush and mechanised guard were very popular at the time. He had a 30/70 win/loss rate but the opponent reactions seemed worth it.

Oh man. Yeah. Something of a recurring nemesis army for me since one of the people who got me into the hobby played them from 3e to 5e and I kept running into them at competitive events at the time. Also been playing them as them a lot recently in 5e games with friends...

For a change of pace, I also painted Lorai from The Blacktalons in an unofficial, improvised colour scheme. I've been off work this week taking care of my wife and had more painting time than usual! #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #ageofsigmar #idonethdeepkin #dampelf

I was enjoying painting Nurgle minis so much that I kept rolling with that and finally painted The Wurmspat trio while I was at it. #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #nurgle #warhammerunderworlds

I also completed Mulgoth and the Blight Templars, which almost rounds out the villains from the Darkwater boxed set. Just leaves one character left, then onto the heroes! #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer #warhammerquest

Pestigor progress! Love that these are all coming together faster than Cursed City. I still like the undead more overall, but these being so much quicker and efficient to paint is such a huge plus. #warhammerquest #paintingwarhammer #chaos #nurgle

Now that these are done, its just the Pestigors left to Pesti-go! I think I'm happy overall with my colour choices for my mortal AoS nurgle forces. I wanted to differentiate them from my Daemons whilst sticking to similar tones and I think thats working? #warhammercommunity #paintingwarhammer

Its absolutely the rose-tinted, idealised version of what these people think it was. As opposed to the reality of anyone who has actually existed in a public space where that kind of jack assery is rudely shut down and heckled off the street. There was no consequence-free soapbox.

Channel-surfing is how I discovered: Toho Godzilla, Event Horizon, Ghost in the Shell, Stargate, Dragonheart, Archer, Virus, Dog Soldiers and Farscape to name a few. Don't even start me on the songs and bands I found thanks to music videos on TV. You'd just find things, it was different.

Not to be negative on main but the general response to the new movie has me feeling like Roddy Piper in 'They Live' I mean, it was good, I liked parts of it. But the best one yet? Really?

Frankly, I think if it's done well, "the writer's barely-disguised fetish" is a feature, not a bug. Gimme that instead any day.

That's Skarbrand and the metal Bloodthirster 'done' now! Last step is to finish with their bases. Skarbrand was done with contrast paints over black base/white drybrush, while the metal thirster went for something closer to the 90s studio model #paintingwarhammer #warhammercommunity #chaosdaemons

I think one reason data center outrage is so pronounced is people spent decades recycling and composting and otherwise scrimping to offset energy use and protect clean water, and the second we hit an inflection point for cheap electricity the banking industry said we’re taking all of it, fuck you

I mean, the way he kept revisiting and altering his work to try and refine it, wasn't so disimilar to how AI slop prompts work and how it keeps recycling content until it 'gets it right'... are we really that surprised?

Those shotguns are gnarly as hell. The combi weapons... I almost like? Top-loading mag and a more seamless casing is a win for me, but the other component almost seems too discreet? The flamer and melta are almost there but the plasma and volkite look like a pain to recognise mid game.

It upsets me to no end how much of the hobby tutorial 'content' out there is people charging for information or methods we freely shared for the love of the thing or picked up in magazines or early blogs/messageboards. Stuff we shared to grow the community, not paywall it for a get rich scheme.

absolutely flabbergasting to see people who have so enthusiastically succumbed to despair. like okay denethor, but some of us are gonna actually face the armies of mordor in battle nonetheless.

The thing about Denethor is that he not only succumbed to despair, he wanted to ensure that Faramir succumbed with him. Similarly, a lot of people now are not only succumbing to despair, they're actively proselytizing despair, trying to convince others to join them in their hopelessness. Despair is apparently lonely and they want company in their self-immolation.

btw denethor succumbed to despair bc he was doomscrolling on the palantir. Sauron tweaked his algorithm so he only saw bad news, and he fell into the trap of thinking the world couldn't be saved.
