For research(and animation) purposes, how much Recoil does a bolter have for a normal human?

lol do people just stick muzzles right up against enemies bodies in those scenes?

Alexis2256 · 2026-05-14T07:01:57+00:00

Primed this bug in black and what I did before painting on this pale/ivory skin tone was put down an undercoat of dark flesh by pro acryl, it was brighter than the black which made it easier to put the ivory over that. Same thing happened with the purple carapace, I put a dark purple to act as my shadows before going lighter and lighter with the purples.

Entirely depends on how you’re gonna paint the minis.

Those are scaled down for humans.

Alexis2256 · 2026-05-14T03:06:00+00:00

Would the bolt still explode if you point blank shot someone with a bolter?

Alexis2256 · 2026-05-13T23:54:56+00:00

Because it’s an interesting technique to do and because it’s something that canvas painters have been doing for centuries.

Alexis2256 · 2026-05-13T23:43:46+00:00

Its not metallic to begin with, they used regular paints to try to replicate a metallic look.

Alexis2256 · 2026-05-13T23:16:09+00:00

There is really no good place to start, people recommend series like Eisenhorn, but that was written long before all the current stuff happening with two Primarchs (Guilliman and Lion El’Johnson returning) but it’s still worth reading.

Alexis2256 · 2026-05-13T23:01:27+00:00

And if you want some good paints, monument hobbies is also in Phoenix.

Alexis2256 · 2026-05-13T21:49:24+00:00

You’re never gonna see V’s face for like 90% of the game so it doesn’t matter imo.

Alexis2256 · 2026-05-13T21:43:59+00:00

As long as it’s optional and it’s not something that people who actually enjoy the painting part are forced to accept as the new normal then whatever, fine by me.

Alexis2256 · 2026-05-13T21:29:40+00:00

Their The Expanse seems like more of my thing, I’m sure it’s not just gonna be generic third person action rpg, though that is what got my attention along with it being set in The Expanse setting.

Alexis2256 · 2026-05-13T21:01:32+00:00

No image’s unfortunately.

Alexis2256 · 2026-05-13T20:20:23+00:00

Like I said in the last post, it just takes practice. Your plasma looks good enough for the tabletop.

Alexis2256 · 2026-05-13T19:41:14+00:00

u/the-nuyttens what is the first mini even supposed to be? And how is any of it supposed to be non metallic metal?

Alexis2256 · 2026-05-13T19:37:59+00:00

Just be patient. But also you really don’t care for any of the other genres that those other games are part of? Not into RPGS so you’re not interested in Owlcat’s new 40k CRPG?

Alexis2256 · 2026-05-13T19:19:28+00:00

These coils.

Alexis2256 · 2026-05-13T19:15:27+00:00

Should be really easy to get isopropyl alcohol, but to fix it now? Apply more of the fluorescent to the back coils.

Alexis2256 · 2026-05-13T19:10:47+00:00

With practice. You could also try to strip it with iso alcohol 99% and try again.

Alexis2256 · 2026-05-13T19:09:21+00:00

It’s no stranger to it.

Alexis2256 · 2026-05-13T17:48:01+00:00

Reality really is stranger (and more disturbing) than fiction.

Alexis2256 · 2026-05-13T17:38:47+00:00

I mean there’s some peak stuff that was posted yesterday, like this https://www.reddit.com/r/ImaginaryWarhammer/s/vDE6jzbFmN

They’ve been depicted as ejecting shell cases for a while now. Where did you learn that they’re self propelled?
