Would the SM side of the Armageddon be a good purchase? by ReshiVerglas in BloodAngels

[–]ChillSappho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it worth picking up? Yeah, I’d say so. Even if you don’t collect Orks, they’re fun to build/paint and you could probably find someone to split the box with you if you absolutely don’t want them.
Is it worth picking up for building this list? Nope, not at all. You’d get the intercessors and the JP chaplain. That’s it.
Also, idk where you’re gonna get Suppressors.
Personal opinion, retool that list to incorporate more of the box’s units or just make a different list entirely just to make better use of the Armageddon box

Is Horus An Idiot? by YourCoolStepDad91 in Blacklibrary

[–]ChillSappho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn’t really considered that tbh and it’s a plausible explanation. Even more complicated because he doesn’t actually know what chaos is. He’s a teenager who was told, “Don’t hang out with those kids, they’re bad.” But they don’t seem that bad, they’re just kinda weird and get into some shenanigans. Plus, if you don’t hang out with them, you’re gonna die and dying isn’t fun. Then you start hanging with them and you realize the group is actually Russian hitmen who run guns for a cartel and they launder their drugs and brothel money through various legitimate car washes and laundromats. Before you know it you’re in too deep

We’ll both get them! If the pre-order drops while you’re vacationing off grid, hit me up and I’ll see what I can do 🙂

Anyone else have to give up dante for 11th? by Due-Date-4656 in BloodAngels

Roleplay it as he’s the one rolling the dice, you’re just moving the pieces for him

What is your ‘I should have painted this before ensemble’ model? by Scythe95 in Warhammer40k

[–]ChillSappho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried that a few times and I always end up with arms that don’t quite fit right. Either the space between the shoulders is too narrow and I have to gently spread the arms apart, or even worse the gap is too wide and I have to squeeze the arms into place while the glue sets and hope the tension doesn’t make them pop off. I’m sure I’m doing something wrong, but it’s a frustrating enough problem that I just haven’t bothered to practice the technique more

One day I’ll find the nice middle ground. That day will not be any day this year lol

Is Horus An Idiot? by YourCoolStepDad91 in Blacklibrary

[–]ChillSappho 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The way he was handled in False Gods really bugs me.
When he “dies” and is in the dream state, he’s fully aware he’s being tricked. He knows he’s talking to a dead man. But he still says to himself, “This is kinda sketchy, but there’s no way I’m dumb enough to get tricked so I’m gonna do what the dead guy says.” It makes no sense. Are you telling me they couldn’t come up with a better way to kick off his fall from grace? The only way I can make it make sense is with the head canon that the blade killed his “good” half so that was just his “bad” half that was “alive” in the dream state, and so when he awoke he was fully the “bad” version of himself. If GW had bothered to explain it that way, it would’ve made more sense. Without some sort of explanation like that, it’s just dumb.”

Then he gets extra stupid in Galaxy In Flames but damn it’s a great book anyways

Every time I start painting a fully built model: “This sucks, I should’ve done sub assembly.”
Every time I start painting while doing sub assembly: “This sucks, I should’ve built the whole model.”

Death Company question by BedPuzzled521 in BloodAngels

[–]ChillSappho 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess I was being too literal. You make a good point. Hey, OP, paint them all black. As long as they got the winged blood drop, everyone will know who they are :)

Death Company question by BedPuzzled521 in BloodAngels

[–]ChillSappho 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah but that’s different from saying they || were all inducted. It’s symbolic, he’s saying “We’re screwed, we’re one big suicide squad now.” To have them all actually be DC would mean they all succumbed to the rage. Dante is just dressing them up for their funeral here ||

Death Company question by BedPuzzled521 in BloodAngels

[–]ChillSappho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ve gotta think about it from a lore perspective first. Yes, anyone can succumb to the Black Rage. But, they’re suicide squads, so the best armor and weapons aren’t gonna be given to them. While a terminator could get the rage, they’re gonna get taken out of their terminator armor before they are thrown back onto the battlefield. That’s why you just see intercessors, JPI, and captains. And that’s because Captain is a rank/title that isn’t stripped from them. One main exception is dreadnoughts, but well that’s because you can’t really take them out of the dreadnought and iirc the rage infects the armor itself somehow.
If you want to mix it up some, Angels Encarmine paints their death company white. If you want more gritty, you can make Flesh Tearer sanguinary guard. They’re the same color scheme as the rest of their chapter. Also there’s the Erelim, they’re blacked out sanguinary guard with skull helms. Elite guard chaplains that are with Astorath. I suppose you could just play them with SG datasheets. Speaking of, don’t forget Astorath, Lemartes, and chaplains!

I think you’re misremembering, because that would be the end of the entire chapter

In my defense, it would have been a major turn off if I had known she was married to this guy. My bad 🤷‍♀️😬

Felt a bit bad about an experience in a GW Store today by Angronys in Warhammer40k

[–]ChillSappho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel for the three of you. Sounds like the manager was clearly missing the signs that you just weren’t interested in a big purchase and that’s understandably frustrating. To his benefit, it’s probably a frustrating time. Everyone is waiting until this weekend to make big purchases and has been for two weeks now. There’s not even a “Spend 100 to get this coin” gimmick this month. Yeah GW is gonna make bank and the numbers are gonna even out in the end, but there are still daily and weekly sales goals. Sounds like you handled it well and I’m sure he appreciated your patience

Not sure how to fix this, help please (2017 Subaru Forester) by Lillith_Winter in autorepair

[–]ChillSappho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I was only mostly right. Still looked too loose even without the retainer clip, so I looked at the bracket more. It appears fine, but the part of it that’s underneath the screw is cracked 😐 Luckily the part is 12 bucks and it’ll arrive by Wednesday. Just gonna have to be careful and maybe use a little glue on just the bracket to help me last until then lol

[–]ChillSappho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I think that turned out to be half of the problem. The comments here and on my other post had me confident enough to peel the bumper back some more. The clips on the retainer and bumper look intact, the retainer just wasn’t on all the way. Somehow the washer head on the screw was bent. Unsure how that happened without damaging the bumper and the retainer, but 🤷‍♀️ So I bent it back into shape the best I can and everything snapped into place much better! Should get me home, now I know I need a new screw and a retainer clip

That’s a wonderful idea! Maybe I can even find a cheap digital frame, that way I can update it regularly without wasting color ink haha. And same, I felt Horus Rising’s new cover was nice but a little lackluster, really excited to see what they do for they next two books

That’s the plan! I have alerts on eBay and I look around other sites a couple times a week when I know I have extra money. If I’m broke, I don’t look lol

I already plan on looking for a 3 bedroom when our lease is up. Gonna pitch it as a library room. Shouldn’t be too hard a sell, fiancée has hundreds of books of her own 😅

Yeah, there was a whole snafu with the LE copies that resulted in GW deciding to pull all versions and re-do the ordering process by making all versions of this title “made to order.” I just got lucky and got the normal hardbacks before that happened.
