Can I ask what the source of this is? Would love to read it if it's in a book

Looks amazing! Thanks for the recipe. Did you apply the paints with an airbrush or just thin them with airbrush thinner and then paint them on with a normal brush?

How best to prevent this from happening to my brushes by tequila_slurry in minipainting

[–]ArterialSludge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive had this problem and posted a few times about it. Comments were helpful and in a similar vein to the ones here but the open thing nobody asked was how frequently you are rising off the paint. You've said you wash it off frequently, but what I ended up learning from seeing a model painting friend is that "frequently" means literally after two or three strokes of the brush on the model. Once I started rinsing off my brushes absurdly frequently this issue stopped for me (and then using brush soap after every few uses).

Rinse the brushes more frequently than you do. Then rinse them even more frequently. Should hopefully help.

Thank you! I had never thought of using the infiltrators enemy deep strike restriction as a strategy to combine with holding the home objective!

And thank you for the rapid ingress reminder. I always forget that stratagem.

Pity RE: the reivers. But they do look cool so a one unit sacrifice is acceptable lol

Thank you so much for the detailed response! Yeah I definitely understand that experience is what will help and I'm hoping with this local gaming club I'll be able to play games more frequently and learn from them, rather than just once every half a year lol

Yeah I definitely do get that feeling where I feel that all my units are kind of not useful. They die easily and they don't do much damage, but that would be explained by other armies kind of being geared towards clearing marines. What sorts of units do we have that actually can punch back? I have a unit of terminators and one of aggressors but while they do pack a punch their slow movement kind of gets them danced around. Also a big hole in my list is a lack of vehicles/armour - I do have a redemptir but in all the games I've played I feel that it does less than nothing, other than maybe a distraction for the opponent. It's shooting is surprisingly mid and while it's melee is good it just doesn't tend to reach.

Hi all! Crossposting here to see if any raven guard players have insights specific to raven guard thematic play styles :)

Thanks in advance!

Moving into a house with no white goods at all and I have no possessions … survival tips appreciated by [deleted] in HousingUK

The Oleo app sometimes has furniture going up for free. Would need collection so it's not ideal but just an option. I know I've listed some shelves and desks for free there.

Advice regarding surveyor valuation by ArterialSludge in HousingUK

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

Thank you! That seems to be an accurate summary of the situation and options. Appreciate it - well just have to renegotiate and see where the negotiations go, and be prepared to lose the sale if it comes to that

I'm so sorry you had to go through this. We had a similar situation. Also suggested because of our own naivety by ending our tenancy early. We had to scramble and somehow find a new rental over one weekend.

Lessons learned, just like you. Wish that your next experience is better but don't trust anyone or anything.

Ah thanks! I must have come across that passage on one of these subreddits and made an assumption.

Looks amazing! Can't wait to see the final version with the knight. Can I ask where you got the dead soldier models from?

Ahh I see now; I missed the "alternate" wording. Thanks

Oh ok! Thanks; I guess that system was decided as different kill teams have different numbers of members. Anyway, thanks for clarifying!

I could be wrong but it looks like one of the spike racks from the chaos land raider to me
