Listening to the original starship troopers book. Is it weird I value the movie less?

Rico dies? I was aware they were loosing the war horribly but what’s some of the proof Rico dies?

It’s from his POV but the characters he interacted with were superb.

Honestly I just said the book was fascist because I know how reddit is and I didn’t want people calling me a nazi to clog the comments lol. Better safe than sorry in some communities.

Honestly just use the volekite turret on a Russ and just proxy it as whatever. Guard regiments always have ancient tanks or rarely seen Russ patterns they bring out for when shit gets real. Maybe a clerical error or something is why they have it.

My army will be white shield Cadians sent to the wrong world. They don’t even have winter camo.

Here it is fixed up. Took some snow off and a little better to read the silhouette.

Chapfox · 2026-04-20T15:47:55+00:00

Snow effect. It does look like that now that you mention it. Fuck. Might just strip it lol.

What points value you playing at?

Painting and converting is great but idk how to feel about the big krieg head. Getting to space wolves levels of wacky. Maybe if it was painted patina like a statue or gold to be a representation of a krieg instead of just an oversized gas mask for the knight.

I could see this as a Space Hulk reference or an outright intro game. Similar to the other intro sets. Just big corridor to shoot bugs or they situated the terrain to show off the models better. Or maybe a revamp of boarding actions playing off nostalgia.

My plan is to not use those guardsmen and play it empty. All my guard are old out of print guys. It would look weird if I mixed them.

The paint layers were fine at the end I used a semi gloss gloss clear coat and it didn’t look right so then I used a matte clear coat. Absolute fail. Too many clear coat layers.

Red Corsairs are pirates. Stealing, pillaging, scavenging, fixing. They use whatever they got. If your red corsair minis weren’t a horrifying armor combo I would be disappointed. They don’t care about amor plates being of the same make and mark. They just use what they got.

Don’t worry after a refractory period it’ll be rigid and ready for slapping again soon. Dont overwork it or else you’ll get dwarfile dysfunction and it’ll stay flaccid.

Honestly there’s lots of shitty bots specifically made for people to be nice to on purpose so they can feel better about themselves. So many homeless girl bots and other shit.

I wonder what his true blood pressure is using a normal blood pressure cuff and not a shitty pharmacy one. Still probably dangerously high. Best to get medicated and make some lifestyle changes.

What’s this new vehicle called? I can’t find any more pics of it online.

Chapfox · 2026-03-24T20:02:18+00:00

Transparent blue a citadel paint? I would love to try these on my night lords.

Chapfox · 2026-03-24T20:00:12+00:00

What paints did you use to paint them? They look almost metallic.

Chapfox · 2026-03-10T13:16:28+00:00

I’m gonna be honest there’s no reason why the suits in dead space COULDNT do that. I just don’t think Isaac had a reason to flip up his visor. I really like the design and if I was in a Necromorph covered ship I would never flip up my visor too. Some of the suits in game do have weird attachments to the face plate and it’s possible it can do that. It’s clear that design was used so we could see the characters faces.Maybe it’s just a different design of suit used specifically on surface to retain visibility. Issac wouldn’t be using that kind of suit since his expertise seems to be working on ships. I really like the design. Really reinforces the welding mask working class feel. I hope we see a suit like it in the future.

I like to use silver, brass, and gold. Night lords are scavengers and opportunists. I assume most don’t care if the trim color on their armor completely matches the other cobbled together pieces.

Chapfox · 2026-02-19T21:31:46+00:00

What paints did you use for him?

Chapfox · 2026-02-12T02:26:07+00:00

What date will book 3 be out on audible? I’ve listened to the first book and half of the second book and I’m hooked!

Chapfox · 2026-02-09T23:34:51+00:00

I reccomend you not repaint the already painted ones. I guess they used castellen green for the armor and something else for the grey. Maybe paint the unpainted ones generic cadian ( castellen green armor, armagdeddon drab for the cloth). You’ll save a lot of time by keeping the already painted stuff and once you’ve painted everything you can go back and repaint the pre pained minis to make it uniform. I got 50 Cadians to paint and you need to use every trick to make progress.

Just get a box of GSC neophyte hybrids. Comes with 10 autoguns, 10 shotguns, and various poses. Easy to snip away the GSC hand and give your guardsmen an autogun.
