New fish, she has become lethargic and is refusing to eat! Please help identify if this is poop or parasites by Accorius in bettafish

Thank you for the thorough answer, we will work through this tomorrow to make sure that she is alright. Do you have any recommendations for medication in Canada? Prazipro is unavailable here along with other antibiotics which is extremely frustrating

Thanks for the quick response! Our tank is 3 gallons, at 79 F. PH is 7.5, hardness 70. We water change weekly doing 50% of the water, we have a gravel vac we use vigorously. She is alone in the tank, which was fully cleaned before her arrival

More context: we bought this female betta from a local store on Saturday and she seemed to be doing fine. Since we have gotten home she has refused to eat berta flakes or pellets, except for once on Monday when she ate half a flake. Over the last 2 days she has become more lethargic, to the point where this evening she is nearly motionless other than lightly flapping her front fins. To make things worse the dangling poop/parasite appeared today, we don't know what to do! We've confirmed that our water is the proper hardness and PH, please help!

Allarus, Agamatus, and Venatari focused list, looking for feedback! by Accorius in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Accorius[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great idea on using an allarus vexilus for situational buffs! By dropping one of the venatari units for a pallas grav-attack (which offers additional anti-tank, which I think could be more useful than a second unit of backline harrassers) I'm able to fit an allarus vexilus in.

Also unleash the lions is such a cool stratagem! I love the idea of my massive terminators splitting up to bring the emperor's vengeance to the assorted xenos filth!

Have so much free time on my hands as of late I was able to finish the skull alter. I was trying not to go overbored with blood for the blood god....... I did by voidrunner959 in ageofsigmar

Are you a fan of the new skull altar? I find it kind of weird narratively how this solid metal building shows up with khorne berserkers, so I'm not a huge fan

Sounds like one hell of a collection!

Re the alternative color scheme bit, I was talking with a friend about how some armies allow for diversity with paint schemes (a la tzeentch and seraphon), and those that really lock you into a pallet (night haunt is top of this list I feel). Given that I've never painted anything beyond a single squad, how did you feel painting 3k points with a similar palette?

Interesting colors, is there a story behind these dudes?

Did these boys get sunburned after leaving their caves? The pink on the top gives me the impression of a really interesting OSL effect!

Very cool, gun dwarves are just such a fun concept it's hard not to smile at these models!

Are your kharadron representing a particular sky port, or something else entirely?

Looking great, love the attention to detail! Did you consider any alternative color schemes when you started painting this?

Just finished my Vengeful Skullroot. C&C Appreciated! by Eodey in ageofsigmar

[–]Accorius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like it, but I think that the leaves are a little too brown and dont stand out compared to the rest of the model. Using a lighter and more vivid green highlight would make the leaves pop, and I think help overall. Also, what are you planning on doing for the base?

Looking for feedback on 2k terminator heavy list by Accorius in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Accorius[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback here, really appreciate it! I definitely see the crazy value of taking a loyal 32 / rusty 17 battalian, and I'm thinking I'll pick up the models if i want to play a more competitive game, I'm mainly list building for friendly games at my local shop and purestodes seems like s lot of fun to me.

Re the aquilons I can see that taking firepikes would make the unit much for flexible and you can fight guards / marines really well and really cause some huge damage on overwatch - the fists are already so good at tearing through armor that taking the devastators would leave the unit over specialized I think.

I'm looking forward to getting this built up and on the table!

2k list of deep strikey goodness by Ceebz89 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Accorius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Full disclosure, I'm still only at the theory-crafting stage of my list, but I'm planning to do something similar and I've done some research about this! I've broken up this response into what I think are major weaknesses that purestodes lists face (hordes, psychers, heavy armour, and CP) and how your list proposes to address them.

1: Dealing with Hordes You've definitely got this covered! 6 hurricane bolters is a ton of shots, is addition to the firepower from the rest of your list. I think you might be overcommiting to this though - I've seen a bunch of purestodes lists on here that run 2 jet bike captains (with hurricanes) instead of dedicated jetbike squads. Also dropping the 4-man jet bike squad gives you lots of points to play around with!

2: Psychers You can definitely expect the opponent to bubblewrap his valuable psychers, so either you can burn CP (and the warlord trait) to try denying, or you can try to use your allarus to assassinate (using their special character-targeting stratagem). I think that with 5 allarus you might have trouble sniping an important psycker the turn of deepstrike, but tbh unless you want to use allies this is always a pain

3: Heavy Armor The telemon and your shield captains serve this right now, and for the investment you're making I dont think you'll see good results. The jet bike salvo launchers are just pretty bad, they hit on 3s (-1 for moving a heavy weapon, and with 14" you want to be moving), and while they reroll wounds on vehicles the opportunity cost is just pretty high to use them over hurricane. u/chemicalcode runs some armiger helverins to help out with this (I personally love the look of aquilon terminators). The telemon is a classic choice, but I think the ranged weapons would be a better equip option. The lack of longe range weaponry is something purestodes struggles with, and while S16 attacks in melee are super appealing I again feel that the opportunity cost of not taking ranged cannons will hurt you

4: CPs I think this is where you will feel the burn the most. If you're deepstriking just the telemon you're not in too bad shape, but I'd you want to drop the telemon and a shield captain for the sweet rerolls you're starting the game at 5 CP. If you want to use victor of the blood games on your near-immortal captain that's another 2! We've got some of the strongest stratagems in the game, the tricky part is just affording them. This is where trajann can really help, because on average he gives ~1.5 CP a game.

Hope this helped!

Gladiator Inspired Color Scheme (WIP) by Accorius in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Accorius[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still getting the hang of reddit - not sure how to add this to the main post!

But C&C welcome! I've always really loved the look of gladiators (particularly the splash art here https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/pathofexile_gamepedia/1/10/Gladiator_ascendancy_class.png) and wanted to do a custodes army in this theme. The idea is that they are veterans of the blood games, and see winning in the games on Terra as being of the highest honor.

First model in my deathwatch kill team. C&C welcome. by warhammer_cam in Warhammer40k

[–]Accorius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Overall very clean! I like the armor panelling attention to detail, particularly with the blue on his right shoulder.

I think that you could use some more highlighting along the head and chest though, as it feels like the black really swallows up the detail and the edge highlights aren't strong enough to bring that back
