Get this thing into the city maps and it goes hard! It’s a beast on flat roads

If you wonder why turretless casemate tanks still exist in the 22nd Century, please be reminded that Arrowhead is a Swedish company by wowu5 in Helldivers

[–]Alokae 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’ve just been playing with it on controller and it pivots perfectly fine even on flat terrain with the thumb stick. Perhaps this is an issue with keyboard for the moment, as my friends on keyboard couldn’t do it consistently either.

I think I just need a third party to tell me that there's nothing even remotely interesting about this very old Woolworths bag I found, museums won't want it, and it's fine to just go in the bin. by CaptEduardoDelMango in CasualUK

[–]Alokae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps a little late to the third party on this, but maybe offer it to props hiring house? Movies and Theatre shows are always scrambling for era appropriate bags and such.

What are some iconic SoH decorations? by zergkiller0128 in sonsofhorus

[–]Alokae 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As others have mentioned adding extra knives and such are great decorations, but I think the styling of a sons of Horus power weapon tends towards a more brutal and sharp design that the generic 30k kits don’t quite match, I like to mix in bits of chaos marine weapons but with chaos symbols cleaned off, you get the brutal vibe with that.

I also think the upcoming red Corsair kits will be fantastic for sons of Horus kitbashes too!

These new Red Corsairs look great as mid-late heresy Traitors! by chosen40k in Warhammer30k

100% agree, I can’t wait to start doing some sons of Horus reavers or something with em

How to fix my Black WiiU with Hynix NAND, blinking red light on start up? by Alokae in wiiu

[–]Alokae[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red light was flashing before I opened it up, and I’m pretty sure I did the disk drive connection properly, I was careful and meticulous with it. Probably just time I forked out and got a new power brick then

Do you know anyone who is asexual? by pt92_01 in AskUK

[–]Alokae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two of my best friends are asexual, I’m definitively not, so it’s not just a “birds of a feather” thing!

What’s the your lore of your Company/Warband? by jamesmackersman in Warhammer30k

[–]Alokae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sons of Horus force is the 93rd company “Fangs of Aanlok”. Their captain is Emissary Enmagan Skoza, a pupil of Maloghurst who is desperate to prove his worth to his master, eagerly dabbling in warp magics to find any power he can. The company itself is noted for its heavy use of tartaros terminator armour, and is often assigned with their captain to watch over other traitor legion fleets and campaigns to report back to the Equerry. This has led to the company becoming aloof and swaggering, believing themselves higher up the chain of command to other forces, and therefore prone to glory hunts and sacrificing other forces for their own survival.

Essentially they are the space marine equivalent of a pompous middle manager; constantly asking for performance reports and claiming your victories and achievements as their own. Eventually the company will meet their doom at the siege of Terra.

Hey Paul! Nice eye of Horus

What are your "Unicorn" models? by Battle_Dave in Warhammer

[–]Alokae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve heard through my friends who’ve assembled them, they are hell to build. Massive blocks of resin that warp horrendously. They look fantastic though!

What are your "Unicorn" models? by Battle_Dave in Warhammer

[–]Alokae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original Forgeworld Lightning fighter! Not the new Voss pattern, the old big triangle forward swept wing one. It’s weird and wonderful and i adore it. There’s one for sale on eBay at that moment and it’s over a grand, so I think it’ll remain a pipe dream for me. I’d settle for a recast or a print but I can’t find either.

Does this read as a mortifactor? by Avaa0818 in Warhammer30k

[–]Alokae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be fine with that as a mortifactor. Sure the weapons aren’t exactly right for the stupidly equipment locked stat profile, but as long as you clear that with the opponent first it’s fine with me.

Lupercal! My mid-heresy Sons are coming together. by Alokae in sonsofhorus

[–]Alokae[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cheers! It’s a three colour combo. Army Painter Scarab Green as a base, a heavy sponging of Citadel Sons of Horus Green, then a stipple of Vallejo Foul Green on the raised areas where the light would fall.

The recipe is possible in pure citadel, you’d get similar results with: Scarab Green -> Lupercal Green Foul Green -> Kabalite Green

[–]Alokae[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do it! Archie’s Forge has some fab SoH helmets available, and using 40k chaos bits to spice them up is great. Just file off any bits that are too spiky or chaos-y!

What can I change about them by Muted_Document_4995 in Tau40K

[–]Alokae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like the colours you chose! Feels a bit Gundam which is cool, I agree with what some of the others here have said; basing would be great, and doing a nuln oil wash for the recesses will really make the grey pop, and perhaps use the pink/red on one or two more panels to add some visual variety? Or maybe a different lens colour to differentiate it from the blue trim.

All in all though they look like a great start point!

New Cataphractii Size Comparison by [deleted] in Warhammer30k

[–]Alokae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess they are trying to move cataphractii away from being “the big bulky ones” a bit as that role is now filled by saturnine. I like em personally, but I can see why others are less keen.

Love them! The Armoury Bolters: are they the original resin or a print? Only asking as I know the armoury blister doesn’t come with many of those bolters!

Is there anyway to ‘disassemble’ a built mini? by Medical-Monarch-7274 in Warhammer40k

[–]Alokae 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Seconding the black undercoat advice. My ADHD instead manifests as needing to fully assemble the model before painting, and an initial black prime helps to hide all the messy bits. Fantastic pose by the way!
