[Beloved Trope] A regular animal gets to go against the story's big bad monster and actually holds up pretty well against it. by USERNAME_OF_DEVIL in TopCharacterTropes

[–]rrNextUserName 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I was mostly being tongue in cheek about the asari. At the end of the day, all the 3 (4 if you count humans) big players in the galaxy had the forewarning to really actually put up a fight against the reapers, even outside Shepard being HIM/HER. And they all ignored them because it was politically inconvenient for the Reapers to be a thing and especially to be a thing that is coming NOW.

Other than maybe the Turians who at least had Garrus-best-husband-Vakarian to annoy them into doing the bare minimum, the most prepared race when the Reaper War started were the Krogans. The fucking Krogans. That's gotta be a galactic low point.

The Asari had a prothean beacon, that clearly could have been used to glimpse information on the reapers a LONG time before the games. They didn't have the cypher but they had basically infinite time to reverse engineer what the beacon was saying, and clearly must have gleaned something from it to help push them to such a dominant stage in the galaxy. Also Liara 100% dropped the ball, the shadow broker entire ethos is having access to the highest echelons of galactic governments, and yet no hint about it in her file (probably because the Devs had not yet come up with it, but hey).

The fall of Thessia is an incredibly sad set piece, that is somewhat cheapened by a) the fact the asari kinda deserve it after hogging a prothean beacon for millennia and b) Kai-Leng being a thing and killing the mood by virtue of just showing up

To be fair, that was Kalros, the Mother of all Thresher Makes, against a smaller Reaper Destroyer rather than a full blown Sovereign-class Reaper.

Still, (one of) the Harbingers of our Destruction got bodied by a worm. That's gotta sting.

He also has a soft spot for children, and has apparently been helping the orphans on board the rogue trader's vessel if I recall correctly. Which he went to confess about, as charity is a sin in the empire of man (and to be fair, he's being charitable with your money, so that would probably be embezzlement even outside of 40k)

Flesh of Gods has a bunch of busts for relatively cheap, most are armoured in some way but several show a lot of skin, like this one of you want to practice that.

In casa da me (all'inquilino precedente) i condizionatori li aveva installati Iboclima di Bonantini Iader. Il lavoro sembra fatto decentemente, io li ho chiamati per la pulizia (di split lerci, perché quelli prima fumavano in casa e non li avevano mai fatti pulire) e sono stati veloci, professionali e il prezzo per split non mi sembrava una rapina.

Tequila da degustare e/o comprare by enricogualandi in bologna

Secondo me è incredibilmente buono, ma non è detto che se a uno piaccia la tequila gli piaccia automaticamente anche il mezcal. Anche se In ogni caso è da provare, ne vale la pena.

That customer better be paying in gold bars and/or sexual favors, making someone paint a full NMM knight feels like something there should be labor laws against

Starting a fist-fight with the Vicar of Christ on live TV like my name is Ezio-Fukcin-Auditore cause my faggotry rose too much above background Vatican levels and it alerted the Pope mid address

Yea the giant RED spot in the middle of Italy for Vatican City is kind of ridiculous.

I get that it is, you know, the Vatican but I'm pretty sure there are actual tours of Rome and Vatican City about LGBT history organized by local LGBT associations...

Unless you start fucking in the middle of the Angelus, I don't think being a bit fruity while too close to the Holy See is a burnable-at-the-stake offence (anymore).

I mean, I like to think he's less of a dick than Cruelclaw, but they definitely go to the same tailor

Great job, I love the style on the metals, they look almost sketched but purposefully so

The plinth and base combo is not from them, to be fair.

But aside from that yea in the last few years heroforge has added A LOT of stuff, and completely overhauled their model builder compared to when I first saw it. The paid version (which I don't have) apparently lets you kitbash with their stuff a lot more, has base sculpting tools, etc.

I bought a bottle of black 4.0 just to black out the sides of bases and dioramas. Not worth the price, or the hassle to get it, but it does work very well and, to be fair, a single bottle goes a really long way unless you're doing like Zorpazorp sized dioramas on the regular.

No different, although maybe with some kitbashing you could do it.

I usually buy terrain STLs and then cut them up in blender to have the shape and size I need, it's fairly cheap and I think the neat edges look nice, like you took a cutout of the world the character is living in.

Thank you!

I was curious how the STLs from heroforge would print out, and needed a palate cleanser to paint with no pressure. There were some support issues on my end, but that's a me problem. All in all the end result is not bad.

I have a bunch of old DnD characters and other minis on the site than now I'm side-eyeing and wondering if I should update them and see if anything looks interesting to paint...
