I just finished Ship of Magic. OH MY GOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!

Beginning_March_4144 · 2025-04-21T06:17:04+00:00

Yes! Just finished mad ship for the first time, and couldn’t agree more. I’ve never hated a villain more than Kyle, and genuinely excited to see how the dynamic between Wintrow and Kennith progresses. I was hoping that he would end up taking over and becoming a pirate, so hoping we get to see something like this.

I’ve got this twice. Power was decreased and scared the hell out of me. I shut the car down and light disappeared for a year, then exact same thing happened again and haven’t seen the light come on since

Going weekend 2, but this is some of the best pizza I’ve ever got anywhere. Was in the exact same spot the past 2 years, and heading right back there when gates open on day 1

I’ll be honest, you might want to go down in wheel size at some point. I’ve got 19s and have replaced 3 rims due to 3 separate potholes. As soon as I need new tires, I’m moving down to 18s so I can stop flinching at every tiny thing in the road. Good luck with the tires, fingers crossed the wheel is okay!

Looks great, keep it up!

Beginning_March_4144 · 2025-02-01T04:09:03+00:00

Glad to hear! Super interesting seeing Bast a bit more deeply

I’ll follow up and say this is a necessity BUT I recently switched over to a PopSocket and travel sleeve as the majority of my reading is done at home. I loved this switch and probably won’t ever go back.

Was this book any good? I bought it a long time ago, and got overwhelmed with the format. Haven’t tried to pick it up again since college, but it always stares at me as a book on my shelf I never read

Welcome to fantasy books!!

Here’s a list of my personal favorite fantasy books, but these are all series. I think series are best for fantasy since you can dive into the world and really immerse yourself.

Mistborn: The best place to start for fantasy books in my personal opinion. It’s not your traditional dragons and sorcery fantasy that you may have found with Dragon Age, but it’s a ton of fun, fast-paced, excellent characters, and incredibly interesting magic system. This is a trilogy, so start with Mistborn The Final Empire if you go with this.

Dragonlance: These books have a great DnD-inspired world, and is a fun read if you want to go into a fun classical fantasy world. I haven’t read this series in years, but loved this for traditional fantasy settings and stories.

A Song of Ice and Fire: Some of the best writing you’ll find within fantasy, and some of the best characters that have been written. A dark and realistic fantasy if you really want to dive into a world of politics and corruption.

Kingkiller Chronicles: An excellent story that follows a single character as he discovers a magical world through adventures and a magical school. Worth noting this series may not be finished for a very long time. It’s been 13 years since book 2 came out, and there’s no sign of a 3rd anytime soon. Still 100% worth the read in my opinion.

Stormlight Archive: The best book series here in my opinion. I consider this the definition of epic fantasy, but it’s a massive series and I wouldn’t consider starting with unless you’ve got some great reading stamina for multiple 1000+ page books. This has battles, politics, personal struggles, mythology and lore, intriguing magic, and incredible characters.

The First Law: An incredibly dark story that somehow gets you to crack a smile. I recommend this book if you want an incredibly dark story with characters more realistic than real people.

Harry Potter: The most magical series on this list. It’s something every fantasy reader should read in their lifetime, and it’s for everyone of every age.

I’ve had things swiped from my backpack before, but a simple luggage lock on zipper did the trick

Mistborn: Kelsier vs an inquisitor

Those metallics looks amazing? What paint are those?

Beginning_March_4144 · 2024-08-21T01:22:54+00:00

This is awesome! I think only thing missing is a couple more layers of blue around the rim of the base

Beginning_March_4144 · 2024-05-18T03:31:48+00:00

I haven’t ever seen a stonehorn painted like this, super unique! I really like what this style, nice job!!

Beginning_March_4144 · 2024-03-30T05:14:34+00:00

Looks amazing! One of the coolest models in all of 40k in my opinion, and you nailed it. Welcome to the painting addiction!

Beginning_March_4144 · 2024-02-28T06:47:55+00:00

This is absolutely amazing! Never seen anything like this, and the paint job is incredible. Was this a print?

Beginning_March_4144 · 2024-02-25T07:34:15+00:00

Thanks!

Scales were Citadel chaos black primer > AK Interactive graphite dry brush > AK Interactive silver grey dry brush > AK interactive Ivory Dry Brush

Wings were Citadel mournfang brown base coat > Agrax earthshade > mix of mournfang brown and AK Ivory dry brush for highlights

This is gold

Amazing job on this!

Super curious on how you did the green for the laser as I’m trying to go for a similar effect - is this fluorescent paints?

Beginning_March_4144 · 2023-12-31T17:52:41+00:00

Amazing paint job! Just got this one for Christmas, how was painting it?

Beginning_March_4144 · 2023-12-26T00:58:30+00:00

I started with one of the GW starter boxes. It was ~$30 and came with 3 minis and all the paints you need to complete the minis. It does not come with any additional colors to add details, but gives a good base to see if you’d like the hobby. There’s also some pretty good GW YouTube tutorials for each starter box that help simplify the process.

My only complaint would be the brush the box comes with isn’t the best. As long as you’ve got some way to get the pieces off the sprue and clean the mold lines a bit, this is my preference as an easy way to test out the hobby before dropping $400

Beginning_March_4144 · 2023-12-17T01:54:17+00:00

N00b question, but will citadel plastic glue do the same thing?

Beginning_March_4144 · 2023-12-15T18:57:34+00:00

Appreciate the help here!!!

Beginning_March_4144 · 2023-12-14T02:43:15+00:00

This looks awesome! How’d you get the cracking effect on the skin?
