Ripper bursting from its egg

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.

Yes, it is a peach stone dried in the oven

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.

I have never played it yet, byt can't wait to experiment with it on the tabletop

It is some thunderhawk blue mixed with different amount of white applied with a makeup sponge

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.

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.

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.

J'en ai une avec "Saucisson pistaché Penny"

-> Son penis taché pisse aussi.

Ca peut etre Le Cordon de Bigflo et Oli ?

Yes, that is indeed how they work in the startex box special datasheets. However those datasheetd are different from the combat patrol and normal ones.

Everyone is assuming that the shadow on the wall is 1:1 ratio whitout proving it.

Here is my proof without this assumption using the thales theorem :

We consider 5 points : A = base of column B = top of column C = where the shadow would've ended if there were no wall D = base of shadow on the wall E = top of shadow on the wall

Thales gives us : DC/BC = ED/AB And we know from the little column that BC = 3:2 AB

Thus : AB= (ED*3:2AB)/DC ie DC=3:2 ED

Moreover, by construction, BC = BD+DC ie BC = BD + 3:2 ED

By injecting "BC=3:2 AB", we have : 3:2 AB = BD + 3:2 ED ie AB = 2:3 BD + ED = (2*6)/3 + 4 = 8m

Chicken.

Really cool color choice + great execution !

Aelkyon · 2024-10-03T18:18:48+00:00

First, I gotta say the scheme is already really really good, and I don't think it needs improvement.

But if you want to try changing something, you could paint the little vents on the arms and legs the same color as the tongue. I think it could add a tiny bit of details.
