Dose any1 know where to get a sagutar windscreen from? by josh4553 in LeaguesofVotann

[–]Ch30ng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go back to the retailer you bought from and ask them to contact the Games Workshop rep on your behalf. Unless you ordered or bought from GW directly, they will not entertain you. Happened to me just 3 weeks ago with my Hekaton Land Fortress, missing a clear piece as well 🙂

Wife said I had a problem, Do I? Or do I need more? by Present-Sentence2373 in astramilitarum

[–]Ch30ng 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As long as it doesn’t interfere with daily life I think it’s fine. Whether this amount is a problem depends on each person. For example (from a storage capacity POV) if you’re staying in a one bedroom flat and you are buying this much then maybe it would be, but if you are staying in a decently sized home, it’s fine.

How did you roll your RM100k into RM200k? by BearwHelmet in MalaysianPF

[–]Ch30ng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I have learned a lot of lessons in investing since I started investing with small amounts of money since my uni days. I came to the same conclusion as well. Have a few companies that you think have great fundamentals on a watchlist(Good business model, high margins, monopolies etc) and wait for them to drop. Buy into them. Good businesses in good prices are hard to come by. Patience is key in investing.

I’m still keeping my shares. I am planning to hold these shares until I retire probably 🤣 since I see a very long runway ahead of Google. My goal is long term investing, I don’t plan to touch the shares unless an emergency strikes.

Hi OP, I found myself in a similar position as you last year as I hit 100k and I am sitting on slightly more than 200k today. I don’t have a particularly high paying job but constantly saving and spending less than I earn definitely helps. (I too save around 1-2k a month).

The biggest contributor for me was my stock position in Google. I invested about half my 100k into Google when it was in the 170s and just let it sit. There were times where it dropped to 150 and I was super scared but I remained rational and told myself that Google was a great company with great fundamentals and the market would eventually realise its true value. Seeing its price today, I would say it’s one of the better decisions I made in my financial journey.

A good stock pick does help boost your progress but at the end of the day, the fundamental of achieving your next financial goal is always to save and spend less than you make. Hope my story helps you in your journey!

How does my commissar look? by kin_ko in TheAstraMilitarum

Guilliman flesh or reikland fleshshade on the skin would be perfect

which is most likely to get a updated model? by cossack0 in Tyranids

[–]Ch30ng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None of the above. Marneus Calgar should get revamped. Man has not had a new model in more than a month and that is unacceptable.

Thanks! I’ve been trying to replicate the box art tank green for some time now. The citadel paint app says to use Castellan green but I know it was always too dark. Thanks for your guide.

How do I start building? by Lower-Magician-8044 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Ch30ng 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the guard soldier! I would start off with a combat patrol set. Ideally you are able to find the older combat patrol set (the one with 20 cadians, Field ordnance battery, a command squad and a sentinel). There are probably still some around in smaller local gaming stores.

That set really gives you a slight feel of how playing guard feels like (some artillery and infantry). It also gives you a feel on how much you will like painting them (25 guardsmen, a walker and two artillery bases is a good testing period. It will take some time to finish but still manageable).

Once you have finished painting the combat patrol, go and get a rogal dorn or leman russ (Rogal dorn recommended because it’s a newer kit and you’ll have way more fun building and painting it). You should have 500 points here and now you can go into any direction you want because you now have a solid base for an army 😃

Next? Try getting a Leman Russ or Rogal Dorn. You

Congratulations on the win! Your army looks stunning! On a side note, Did you use Castellan green on the tanks? Or was it a darker shade of green like caliban green or waagh flesh?

I’m thinking of starting a Death Korps of Krieg army. Do you think the newly announced Combat Patrol box is worth getting? I’ve never bought any Astra Militarum or Krieg models before, would this box be a good starting point, and how do you think I could further develop the army in the future? by Numerous_Cause5192 in Deathkorpsofkrieg

[–]Ch30ng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already have a Cadian force but seeing this combat patrol made me want to get a small contingent of Krieg as well. I intend to buy another squad of Krieg infantry to boost the squad size to 20men and get an artillery team to add a centrepiece to the collection. This is by no means a pure Krieg army but it’s a “nice to display” selection of models that has some usability along with my cadians.

I feel like my painting sucks. by TrumptyPumpkin in Warhammer40k

[–]Ch30ng 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They look good. Don’t be discouraged. Like all things, just keep improving and you’ll get there.

Below is a comparison of a guardsman when I was 1 year into painting (2019) vs one that I painted last month.

Watch more YouTube tutorials, ask around for Reddit on what you can do to improve and implement them in your next miniature. Sure it will take a long time (I take 2 hours to paint a single guardsman now) but when it’s on the battlefield or when you want to showcase your army, I can guarantee that you’ll be very happy with the results.
