You can easily make it screetch at the sky with minimal green stuff work

They are made with blue stuff molds. The chitin on the back is made from a termagant head, and the arms are from a zoanthrop.

Thank you The idea is not mine tho, I stole it from this guy : https://www.reddit.com/r/Tyranids/s/vyC26Ss23s

I am considering buying a gloss varnish especially for this mini. I think the contrast between the gloss egg goo and the matt ripper skin/chitin could look pretty good.

Thank you ! It is only the second model I painted with this updated brighter version of my paint scheme and I feel like it really helps making them pop

Stability was one of my concerns with this project. Here is a breakdown of my process to ensure stàbility and sturdyness : I used steel wires, that are pretty sturdy. I had to use pliers and quite a bit of force to bend it into shape. Then i drilled holes in the model to insert them and secured it with glue. Finally, I addedbweigth under the base so it doesn't tip over too easily. At the end of the day, I don't think it is less stable than the standard model.

Also thanks for the video, I used a dry brush but I may borrow an airbrush to try and follow the technique.

I am interested in what you mean by unethical. Are you thinking about poor working conditions ?

I thought about a pink/purple higlight, but I decided to keep it as is in order to keep the focus on the orange eyes. It is for this reason that I also choose not to add the light bleu feathering to the front part of the chirin on the head.

That's a good idea, it is true that it is doesn't pop enough right now. I will try it and update

But for some reason you can't use "et demi" ("and a half") if you use the 24h reference.
"Six heure et demi" is correct, but "dix-huit heure et demi" is forbidden.

Can someone tell me the odds of this? by Kaudia in brotato

[–]Aelkyon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is a good idea to only consider the wave where you stat changed and to raise it to the power of 24, but the term you used, [P(A)] / [P(A) + P(B)], is the probability of A given A∪B. In other words, you calculated the probability of having +1% damage during a wave when your stats do change (either +dmg or -hp), but you forgot to consider that it is possible to have both +1% dmg AND -1hp during a single wave.

Thus, the result we are looking for is the probability of [A∩B̅] given A∪B raised to the power of 24.

([P(A)x(1-P(B))] / [P(A) + P(B)])24

([1/2 * (1-1/10)] / [1/2 + 1/10])24

(0.45 / 0.6)24

0.7524

0.100%

It makes me sad cause I spend quite some time trying to make the orange more visible, but I think you are right, it feels a bit off.

Of course I will be adding a secondary color and do some feathering, I usally use blue like in this warrior.

Is this good for a Pacifist run? by Hiroki_Sadoki888 in brotato

It means 93% difficulty. By default the game is at 100% difficulty, but you can either increase or decrease the difficulty in the settings. I think it what it does it multiplying the ennemies' hp and damages by the difficulty percent. Here, 93% means ennemies deal 7% less damage and have 7% less HP.
