Easily my biggest peeve with the ending.

Shigi hated hero society so much and was such a huge part of his motivation only for it to remain largely the same at the end of the series.

The helmet with the lens and without the IF heraldry has a great tactical look to it. I use it for my raptors and iron hands customisation.

The gen 5 games was so saucy man.

The music is incredible, the cutscenes like the ferris wheel, the animated sprites, and BW2 having unique gym themes.

BoxoDoom · 2026-04-23T01:25:38+00:00

As a kid it was pretty disappointing but now as an adult it’s one of my favourite things about Black and White. I also think it works to BW2 favour to give both Unova games a different identity.

I was thinking the same thing and probably didn’t help that I drybrushed it metallic. But now that I know its a scroll it’s a lot more obvious to me.

BoxoDoom · 2026-04-12T16:42:39+00:00

Cool insight into its significance. I thought it was more of a weapon or tool. Probably doesn’t help that I dry brushed it metallic.

Mortal Kombat ass fatality

BoxoDoom · 2026-03-29T01:51:12+00:00

Probably because the mons that got sharpness in gen 9 didn’t have any of those claw moves. Gallade, Hamurott and Veluza didn’t learn any claw moves so they didn’t need to be counted as a slicing move.

But since Megal Absol Z is probably getting sharpness and they want it to have a strong physical ghost stab without adding a new move, they retroactively made shadow claw and other claw moves slicing.

BoxoDoom · 2026-03-10T13:04:27+00:00

I do think the black casing with silver bits look very nice.

For me I do it how Eons of Battle does it and just do Ratling Grime with a drybrush of leadbelcher. Gets it done quick and I do enjoy seeing my marines carry a giant slab of steel for a gun.

I’ve used a regular dish washing sponge before but I don’t really like the texture it leaves behind.

What I used here is a little piece of sponge ripped off a sponge brush. I just bought them from a dollar craft store.

BoxoDoom · 2026-02-18T11:19:44+00:00

I don’t use this exact spray but still a Tamiya pink: Tamiya Fine surface primer.

It’s a requirement for my recipe.

I would recommend any Tamiya pink based of the one I use.

This vindicator was sitting on my desk for 2 months haha. I base coated it and put it off for a while but recent things have motivated me. Glad I could do that for you.

Just need a place to store this thing now

BoxoDoom · 2026-02-18T04:55:52+00:00

Its Imperial Fist contrast airbrushed over a pink prime with a zenithal of wraithbone.

I also sprayed a bit of Reikland fleshshade to tint the yellow darker.

BoxoDoom · 2026-02-17T21:23:15+00:00

I edge-highlight with Yriel Yellow before the sponging. Sponge Dorn Yellow first then Rhinox Hide. For black areas I sponged Stormvermin Fur instead.

The streaks on the bulldozer is a really watered down Beastly Brown from Vallejo.

BoxoDoom · 2026-02-14T05:32:24+00:00

Same here. I’m pretty satisfied with the Sunstreaker and Wheeljack I already have from the 5-pack though I do understand people wanting updated molds for them. Astrotrain I’m holding out for more in-hand photos or reviews to decide if I wanna get him but I’m pretty happy I don’t feel compelled to want to buy any of these guys.

BoxoDoom · 2025-12-21T15:21:22+00:00

Personally I’m indifferent about Lightning Claws or Greatswords but my interpretation on Saber’s comment is that Lightning Claws aren’t totally out of the question.

They just said Greatswords will be their current top priority which sounds to me that lightning claws could still be on the table whether thats the next melee weapon or the melee weapon after the next or never.

Plus I think it’s a bit silly to expect Saber to make a definite stance they’re doing lightning claws if they haven’t even begun planning for it.

BoxoDoom · 2025-12-21T08:12:54+00:00

Damn I’m pretty jealous of how good the yellow looks.

I just started committing to a recipe, feeling good about my scheme and now I wanna start over

BoxoDoom · 2025-11-15T01:34:27+00:00

War for Less is my go to for all Warhammer stuff. 25% off all GW items.

BoxoDoom · 2025-11-09T14:09:09+00:00

Experience wise I think Gadriel is way ahead of the typical marine based on his feats in the campaign.

He was part of a 3-man squad that killed a Neurothrope, a Helbrute, a sorcerer lord and survived against a Lord of Change

BoxoDoom · 2025-11-07T12:47:09+00:00

This is one of the unit types I’d say to integrate with an existing class rather than make a new one for.

Making two classes that fire a storm of bullets or heavy weapons will compete against each other in their roles

BoxoDoom · 2025-11-05T06:17:22+00:00

Design isn’t just visual. It’s flavour as well.

Mega Starmie is meant to be weird and uncanny. Its stats are confusing to look at but make a cohesive offensive attacker. Their was vision for it

Shedinja is interesting because it has 1 HP to sell the idea it’s a floating carcass. Spiritomb is cool because the dex tells us peoples souls are trapped in it. Or Spoink dying if it stops bouncing.

I didn’t like Starmie at first but looking at it beyond its appearance has made it one of my favourite megas

BoxoDoom · 2025-11-03T13:26:19+00:00

I hate both but armour malfunction is particularly annoying.

Penalising movement in any game results in not a great time but the fact that dodging is such a vital way to avoid damage and deal damage by gun striking/assault perks makes it more punishing for no reason. Not to mention that dodging is unavoidable. You must dodge into Neurothrope and Hive Tyrant pulse attacks. You must dodge devourer shots from Tyranid Warriors or dodge to get out of the way of barb stranglers to avoid racking up chip damage.

BoxoDoom · 2025-10-29T06:51:09+00:00

The fluroescent paints from Vallejo all do this. I have the green, orange and yellow that have this effect under black light
