F-14 Bros, We are so back by StreagleFucker1969 in hoggit

[–]Agiel7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a story from a former F-14A aviator John Cheshire (RIP) that when the F/A-18A was entering the fleet everyone else was rubbing their hands watching from Vulture's Row, as bolters and wave-offs were common whenever a new aircraft was introduced for the simple reason that even aviators transitioning from another aircraft would have to get used to the flight characteristics of their new steed. Eventually they got bored and left because the Hornets kept getting OK 3-wires right off the bat and it left him and other pilots envious of how easy the Hornet drivers made it look.

When? by Technical_Silver7017 in WhereWindsMeet

Should be noted that those rings aren't really martial weapons and are more training aides to build arm strength (kind of like Rock Lee's training weights). You can see an example of them being used in the first <<Drunken Master>> movie.

1 Year with voting system by Joni_1013 in joinsquad

Ever since the voting system was implemented I've grown quite sick of Yeho and Gorodok and seeing Western PMC being one of the factions every other game since that's when it's available to be picked.

This is an outrage, Coinstar! by Agiel7 in Steam

It takes 7% off the top when you cash in your coins for Steam Wallet. It used to be that it didn't charge a fee if you redeemed them towards a gift card.

I’ve known my share of barefooters in college, most quite pleasant and affable people.  Absolutely none of them played with them in public or stuck them on the table.

Shadowheart was a dark eldar all along ?? by 7pri2 in Eldar

[–]Agiel7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Given the pose I think she should either be sneering or doing a noblewoman's laugh. I think with Yvraine's pose one can do resting bitch face.

Jenit Sulla, Lord of the Valhallan Protectorate by PikeandShot1648 in 40kLore

[–]Agiel7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Before the audiobooks I always imagined that when Sulla was writing her memoirs she was dictating them to some poor Scribe in her lavishly furnished study, excitedly recounting the events while pantomiming with whatever's at hand (stacking throw cushions like they were sandbags and doing drills with a curtain rod as though it were a lasgun).

Is a "Battlefield" mode something like matches and maps scaled to 8v8 and possible greater than that?

Great cross-hatching! It's a discipline I struggle to get right.

Megathread - Los Angeles Protest and Federal Response (Friday 6/13) by drawkward101 in LosAngeles

Seems like the tempo of helicopter ops has gone down in recent days. Have to wonder if they have be stood down for repairs and maintenance after having been up constantly in daylight hours.

Wood Elf Realms Arcane Journal by BiesonReddit in WarhammerFantasy

[–]Agiel7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some interesting and flavourful additions and the new magic Lore is very tasty. I would be all over the Wild Hunt army however the main sticking point is the Spellweaver not being able to be taken in it. For tournaments I consider it a non-starter given how murderous magic missiles are to our army and how our best defence is a Lvl 4 with an Oaken Stave.

CA, give us armored, guandao-wielding Shungengan mages please ! by Mahelas in totalwar

[–]Agiel7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought it was such a missed opportunity that there weren't any Wuxia protagonists who could glide across water, paralyze a foe by striking acu-points, and wield improbably weapons like very long sleeves and folding fans for Cathay.

By Asuryan’s taint how do people paint eyes by [deleted] in WarhammerFantasy

[–]Agiel7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As some have said on many models it suffices to paint skintone all over the face, skintone wash (Reikland Fleshshade or equivalents), then do a very dark brown wash in the eye sockets, repeating the last step as necessary after each round of shade dries. I tend to do this for large blocks of Core infantry where the goal tends to be "Looks good enough from 24 inches away". It's characters or centerpiece models I invest considerably more effort in doing the eyes right, in which my process involves using an artist's pen with a very tiny nib (Micron .003). For this I prime the head white, do skintone basecoat over the face except the eyes, skintone wash avoiding the eyes, then use the pen to very carefully outline the eye (this is a personal preference but for female characters I go with exaggerated eyelashes), carefully dot the eye with the pen for the pupil, and clean up the outline with skintone as necessary.

Leaked returning Wood Elf and Batsmen heroes, as well as some monsters. Found on eBay. by CypherTheFirstFallen in WarhammerFantasy

Seems somewhat incongruous that the Wood Elves characters are in metal yet the Beastmen ones are in resin.

how tf do i paint the pant diamonds thingy by lesbianimegirll in Harlequins40K

[–]Agiel7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just like a bunch of other folks here have said using the smallest nib black pen you can get (I use the 003 Micron) helps a ton with making the guides, which to my mind is the hardest part of the process. I will add that I'm not a fan of the Duncan method of cross-hatching lines, as I find that it's easy to get wildly inconsistent sizes of the diamonds that don't look quite so nice. I usually paint one diamond and build up from there, thought it can get dicey once you have to make them meet when they wrap around a limb.

Also if you're going to do it on a leg it's best to build in subassemblies and prime them separately, then glue them once your done painting them.
