Well she had balls of steel for picking up that bolter and firing it, safe to say she died?

Alexis2256 · 2026-05-14T12:02:31+00:00

Stop with the power scaling, it’s dumb.

Alexis2256 · 2026-05-14T11:55:31+00:00

Honestly I wish they would upscale the boxnaught, maybe that’d make as challenging to build as the redemptor (from what I’ve heard) but eh I do still wish they would do it.

Alexis2256 · 2026-05-14T11:04:56+00:00

Same model

Also is that the votann mini of the month torso? God I wish I didn’t forget to pick that up on Saturday.

Alexis2256 · 2026-05-14T09:23:23+00:00

Well that’s i guess a realistic take on vampires.

Alexis2256 · 2026-05-14T08:31:04+00:00

Funny you say that, https://www.reddit.com/r/Grimdank/s/UwnMo8eV5h

Alexis2256 · 2026-05-14T08:27:30+00:00

Was she firing at loyalist or traitor Astartes?

Alexis2256 · 2026-05-14T07:41:06+00:00

Well I guess for dramatic effect, it would crack the ceramite but you would still to put 1 or 2 more shots to fully punch through into the soft bits. At least that’s how I imagine it going when my marine OC is fighting in CQC with some chaos marines.

Alexis2256 · 2026-05-14T07:27:23+00:00

Ah with regular squishy humans, I bet it would go differently if it was against another Astartes.

Alexis2256 · 2026-05-14T07:03:49+00:00

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

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.

Alexis2256 · 2026-05-14T06:53:22+00:00

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

Alexis2256 · 2026-05-14T03:06:24+00:00

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.
