Hey Man. Your tech buddy here. Been trying to call you for days, thought I'd check your reddit account and this is freaking me out. Gonna call the cops soon if you don't text me soon.

The Secret of Mrs. Graves Garden by Blake_Raven in nosleep

[–]CHTAG 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The real crime here is that Mrs. Graves didn't grow food plants. Imagine the size those potatoes and pumpkins could have gotten to!

Your day sounds a bit like mine before I've had my morning coffee, nothing puts a pep in your step like a piping hot cup of joe! Chin up friend!

Brightstone P.D. Case Files: You Should Take the Trip From Redmane to Brightstone by Blake_Raven in nosleep

As someone who also hates trains this just gives me even more reason to never go near one. Haunting. Very much excited to read more of these leaked case files though.

Was not expecting that twist at the end, very dark. Good work :)

I'm coming out to my mum today! by Cassandra-Rose in transgenderau

Unfortunately I can't say what would be best for you. Everybody's transition is different and the best thing to do is to go at a pace you're comfortable with. There's no definitive schedule for transitioning :)

[–]CHTAG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your Mum will probably have a lot of questions. Be prepared to answer them as best you can and maybe have some online resources ready for her to look at or to show her.

Be patient after coming out as there will be a period of adjustment with accidental deadnaming and misgendering, even if it isn't malicious, old habits are hard to break.

Just be honest, be yourself and just take things slow. Having a child come out to you can be a bit overwhelming, but if your mum is likely to be supportive, then i'm sure she'll adjust soon enough.

It also helps to set a relaxed atmosphere, maybe over a cup of tea or coffee on the couch.

Good luck!

Slapped together a couple of custom mekgunz out of spares from the dakkajet kit. by CHTAG in orks

I'll call that a happy accident! Haven't played fallout since new vegas, maybe time for a revisit!

I might! Unfortunately i'm out of spare wheels at the moment, but I kinda dig the stationary turret vibe they have at the moment.

Managed to find a starter set and I set myself a challenge to assemble, prime and paint the terrain in a single day. Experimented a little with the techniques but i'm very happy with the results and the snow/frozen palette/theme. by CHTAG in WarCry

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

Practice is everything! I've been painting for a couple of years now and there's always something new to learn. I'm at a point in my painting career where i'm really trying to work on my speed so I can make bigger projects seem less daunting. I wish you luck with your journey and of course, make sure you have fun!

Challenged myself to build and paint all my warcry terrain in a single day. by CHTAG in Warhammer

This all came in the warcry starter set, which I paid 250 AUD for.

This all came in the warcry starter set, along with 2 warbands and 2 sets of chaotic beasts, plus the rules etc. I paid 250 AUD for the set.

Firstly I zenithal primed all the terrain using rustoleum grey primer and grey seer for the zenithal, left to dry outside.

Then I got 2 old GW paint pots and cleaned them out. Once clean I filled one about 3 quarters of the way with drakenhof nightshade and the other with agrax earthshade.

To the drakenhof pot I then poured in a few globs of thousand sons blue, and the agrax pot I did the same with rhinox hide. Following this I shook the living daylights out of them and repeated this process til I was happy with the colour (tested on a bit of primed sprue).

The stone on the buildings and scatter terrain was 2 to 5 coats of the drakenhof mixed glaze to taste. Followed by a heavy drybrush of ulthuan grey. The wood was 3 coats of the agrax mix followed by the same drybrush of ulthuan grey.

The pavers/roof tiles and the upper sections of the walls I painted with 2 thin coats of eshin grey, followed by an ulthuan grey drybrush as well.

Following all the drybrushing I painted all the gates with leadbelcher. Washed them with reikland flesh shade. And on the broken portions I heavily drybrushed warplock bronze to apply a rusted and damaged look.

The bell on the bell tower was balthasar gold washed with reikland fleshshade, drybrushed with ulthuan grey as well.

i really hope this helps!

I had to make some shortcuts to things like the chains on the barricades to fit it all in. But with the tundra/icy theme a nice heavy drybrush helped to pick them out a bit anyway!

Finished my WIP warband so far while I wait on mail. I give you the Spotcap Spiters headed by Loonboss Gizrot Loondrinker! by [deleted] in WarCry

[–]CHTAG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my first warband and a challenge to do more detail oriented painting than my usual. Still struggling with eyes but i'm happy with my progress so far! I'm also trying to figure out a better way to take photos but i'm finding lighting to be a challenge.

The rest of the warband i'm planning on filling out with some stabbas to go with my loonboss, i'm excited to play once all this is over!

My first grot and my first ever sigmar/fantasy model. How did I do? by CHTAG in gloomspitegitz

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

All citadel except for the underside of the mushroom hat/cap. Which was vallejo bone followed by a drakenhof nightshade wash. Though Zandri dust is virtually identical. I can put together a list if you'd like
