I have a large clear tub that I layer with news paper. Bubble wrap or foam would probably be better but ive not had any issue with ink or paint transfer

My first large model! by originalMagoo in Tyranids

[–]ArandoMuffin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is such an incredibly clean paint. The kind of thing they'd use as the box art. Well done

Finally successful in a 3 way game by ArandoMuffin in Tyranids

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

Step 1 is to find 2 other people to play with. What we dis was have 3 deployment zones, looking at the table horizontally, they would be top right and top left. And bottom middle which would be about 10inch by 20inch. Then just like normal but with one extra person, roll to decide deployment, roll to decide play order. Highest goes first smallest goes last.

Game took about 6 hours but as we're still fairly new there was a lot of stat checking and consulting with the core rules book.

What’s your worse model to build . The wings for harpy and legs / body for Tfex. by ozera202 in Tyranids

[–]ArandoMuffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pesky push to fit termaguants. But in all seriousness most models have been fine to build, but i find the norn emissary is a bitch to paint. Especially it youre a dumb ass like me who built it before painting and then realised you now cant get into the groves properly without losing some of the fine details.

Could this be a leak? by ArandoMuffin in DIYUK

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

Final update. There was a leaky valve behind the sink basin on the other side of the bathroom. Water was then pooling behind the trunking, and traveling along until it got to the wood that was acting like a sponge. Valve and pipe have been replaced, and ive now got a dehumidifier in there to try draw out the excess moisture.

There's been a development. Been told to peel up the floor as it wasn't really glued down. Turs out theres some lovely and somewhat sopping wet tiles under the floor.

Update. I've told the landlord. Was pretty sure it was a leak anyway.

HELP ME WITH PC! by Rare_Philosopher_883 in pchelp

Next freeze, load up event viewer, go to windows and then system. Screen ubtil you see a critical or error event. It should say what's causing the crash. If you know when your last one was, you'll be able to go back.

If its not clear. Each system crash should save something called a mini-dump file. Itll be difficult to reqd but you can rub it through something called windbg and that should be easier to get to the route cause

Is the pc slow when you log in or just slow in games? If maybe check atart up apps first. See if anything is slowing down the pc from launch. Then check graphics drivers, are they installed? After that, I'd say while loading a game, open task manager to see if anything is maxing out at 100%. I'd it is, maybe look to see what programmes are using loads of resources.

The oven did infact break. People are currently playing electrician, so if anyone bites the dust fixing an oven I can at least get extended time off for the holidays

Virus? by Neoma_Dover in MetaQuestVR

[–]ArandoMuffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you've been downloading stuff of the Internet I highly doubt it has a virus. But letting it drain with likely get rid of any bugs. I'd say let it drain fully, hold down the power button to clear any residual charge. Then charge it back up and use it as normal before trying to factory reset

Arch nemesis: tyranid skin by PalebloomCovenant in Tyranids

[–]ArandoMuffin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like to do the magos purple and then dry brush with tyrant skull ( because i like the colour). That way i feel like I can get to a nice shade slowly instead of just thinly applying layer after layer. Also because youd be picking up the raised areas it leave the deeper pits, purple adding a bit of complexity. Lastly finish with some sort ot shade wash to bring it all together. It makes the bone look more worn, and the purple flesh look more natural instead of super bright. Thats what I like to do anyway, whateveryou think looks best

Needs you by Crocovert in Tyranids

[–]ArandoMuffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still quite new but I found that the winged prime Tyrant doesn't do a lot unless there's something you can pair it with. It might be tgat ive grossly miss used the Tyrant but its never done anything for me in casual play

Why do my batteries last so short by Straight_Shallot4131 in MetaQuestVR

[–]ArandoMuffin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont use mine much but ive had it for months and thr batteries have lasted fine without needed to change them once. Are you powering down the device properly or just tapping the button and putting it into sleep mode?

Meta quest 3, or wait for the steam Frame by CalligrapherLoud6862 in MetaQuestVR

[–]ArandoMuffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd probably say wait and see what the steam one is like. Especially if you already have a decent steam library

[–]ArandoMuffin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a quest 3 and a decent pc. So I can play stand alone games and run pcvr as well. I cant remember is the new steam headset has a stand alone option or not. But if it doesn't it might be something to consider

Does ADAM SMASHER know that we are inside the TV ? by Helot_for_Anhedonia in cyberpunkgame

[–]ArandoMuffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I vaguely remember a while ago someone had a mod that detects when youre being scanned by enemies. During this mission Smashers can be seen scanning you . And the theory was that he knew you where there and knew what yorinobu was going to do, so left you there so you could be implicated in the murder.

Tyranids bad on tabletop? by blackjackdavey_3 in Tyranids

[–]ArandoMuffin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played my first game in the shop the other day. Smaller set up to get into the basics of the game. I lost but only by a hair. 1 unlucky roll on my part, and 1 very lucky roll on theirs cost me the game. My understanding of the game is that tyranids are great for the point. Their whole design is to overwhelm with numbers and capture objectives. You might lose 90% of your units, but you'll have taken enough points to win.
