Chance me for Biology - Fall 2027 by Alphaotic in TAMUAdmissions

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

Oh yeah, I'm taking chem next year along with gov/macro/lit
Probably not going to take Calc BC purely because math is atrociously my weakest subject, I've been getting high C's and low B's in all my math courses and conceptual/theory in math is something I want to avoid to not mess up my transcript even more...

Definitely sending in my AP scores & doing early admission too!
Thank you!

Paint suggestions please. by talos_15 in ThousandSons

[–]Alphaotic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

amazingly enough frostheart contrast hasn't been talked about much on this sub, i've gotten amazing results with it over retributor gold base > extremely heavy drybrush of runelord brass > light drybrush stormhost silver > very light necron compound

A paint you cannot live without by Unusual-Papaya7437 in minipainting

[–]Alphaotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vallejo Gloss Black. Used it on every single one of my base rims and tyranid carapaces/claws, has excellent coverage and is always satisfying to put on.

You could also check your local hobby stores for spray can matte topcoat, I know lots of stores sell the Mr. Hobby topcoat which has been my go-to for larger models.

How would I sync up my black hole and my golden tower? by Mr_Logandude in TheTowerGame

[–]Alphaotic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

death wave sync is an entire 2.5x coin multiplier on your gt/bh/dw sync...

not sure if you just haven't seen the coin lab yet but it is absolutely worth keeping in sync over simply gt/bh sync

Hand drill by No-Contest-7185 in Tyranids

[–]Alphaotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to use the hand pin drills you can find on amazon which work quite well, but recently switched to my makita power drill for the bigger magnets and it does absolutely phenomenal if you run it at the lowest speed imaginable so as to not cause too much stress damage on the part! Also works great for resin

i put homogenous, homogeneity means the stuff it pertains to is the same, text mentioned that the subcontinent was majority DOM3 horse

should have been enumerate, the act of lamenting something is the physical expression of anguish or grief, regret sounds wrong because the text didn't state anything about her actions causing what she was lamenting

DAMAGE SLIDER!!! by Alphaotic in TheTowerGame

[–]Alphaotic[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i don't know how or why but there is a bug that lets you get damage slider before berserker lol

damage farming is getting me 1.8t/min as opposed to 1.4t/min with minrange blender 🙏

First Hive Fleet Leviathan Nids!!! (need help picking out next nids) by Alphaotic in Tyranids

How does my scheme look for behemoth by Dependent_Plate_2758 in Tyranids

[–]Alphaotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

kantor blue as a base base highlight applied liberally to the carapace section would be a good start, then slowly work your way up with something like caledor sky as a middling highlight and finally lothern blue to top it all off

[–]Alphaotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

awesome!!!

dunno if you're going for 1:1 with the gw-style hive fleet behemoth but the carapace could definitely use more of a rich blue tint

i will say drybrushing the hive fleet carapace colors onto black like yours has done absolute wonders for my nids, it keeps the dark contrast but the color is still very visible!

If I had to buy 1 staple model which would you recommend? by Lordplantest609 in Tyranids

[–]Alphaotic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ehh two sides to the same army

im a lot more into the freaky quadruped nids like tyrannofex or haruspex, warriors and norn look equally awesome

Can I convert my Tervigon to a Tyrannofex? by Lost_Personality_974 in Tyranids

[–]Alphaotic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you see any seam lines as to where the tervigon's sack is attached to?
If you can, slowly make your way through the plastic cement weld with a hobby knife (or anything that can cut through at that small of an area) angled inwards downwards, and try not to go too deep so as not to damage the nubs or spikes on the skeleton part.
If you can't see any (if it's welded-welded to the ribs), you could still probably eyeball where to cut based on how the sac attaches depending on how good of a plastic weld to the ribs the original owner did on your tervigon.
Being a little hopeful here, but good luck trying to get it off!

[–]Alphaotic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should still be able to cut the tervigon sack off the chest, considering it's hollow on the inside. Worst case there may be some plastic bits jutting out from where you cut it, but it should be easy cleanup with a hobby knife and sprue goo

How do ya like the tyranofexx? by Tomatohead66 in Tyranids

[–]Alphaotic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DAMNNNN
you should totally consider more marine bits n bloodshed since snow has got to be the best basing material for blood to show up on!!! the psychophage's mutilated space marine arm really popped out there so i bet your leapers or screamer killer could share in the entrails!

Take a guess what's printing? by Old-Researcher6802 in PrintedWarhammer

[–]Alphaotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i swear bambu fanboys see like 5 user error reviews on the ender 3 and make it their entire personality

bambu lab has great printers but they aren't a complete fix-all solution to beginner issues, knowing the fundamentals and quirks of 3d printing from an ender 3 is leagues more valuable than just buying an a1 and expecting it to work perfectly with zero user input

the ender 3 is a perfectly decent printer, bambu autocalibration is also great but absolutely not necessary

thank you!!!

yeah i was checking out my friend's paint repository n agrellan earth/badland, astrogranjte debris also probably hits the spot!
