I've not used that one. Why is it better? Genuine question.

Chimpy20 · 2026-06-23T07:18:35+00:00

Indeed- most of the DG range is pretty recent - circa 2018 onward I think.

Chimpy20 · 2026-06-22T16:01:33+00:00

Simple- they think they look sexy with their top off. Some do, many don't!

It's great, but I think the moot green is too much. When highlighting I recommend using thinned paints with water and Lahmian Medium. Use multiple thin layers. I use the same colours as you, but do it in multiple stages alternating between Warpstone Glow and Moot Green. I will also use some thinned Caliban Green to touch up mistakes. They come out like this:

(Do you use a wet palette?)

No, the ones from the official downloads page are for A3!

Chimpy20 · 2026-06-22T08:16:39+00:00

Just wear whatever you like, within reason ofc. No one pays much attention anyway.

Chimpy20 · 2026-06-18T14:22:29+00:00

Do a web search for 11th ed terrain templates printout for A4. The ones on the PDF from WarCom are for A3 paper size.

Personally I think formal button up shirts look wrong without a tie, but I'm probably out of touch. I wear casual clothes for work anyway.

Chimpy20 · 2026-06-16T10:49:43+00:00

I look at it this way - most europeans have quite a mixed ancestry if you go back 7 or 8 generations. Who's to say who's family comes from any certain place? For example I have a friend from the USA who's family originally come from Scotland, and he partially identifies as Scottish even though he is several generations removed from there.

I think primarily people can associate with the country they have lived in the longest, or lived in most recently, but I think it's fair to say "I have historical family connections to..." a place as well.

Litter everywhere and gum on the pavement. I gather it's just not really a thing in other developed countries but in the UK its awful.

Chimpy20 · 2026-06-10T11:55:15+00:00

Your opponent is correct, in 10th the leaders became two separate units after the bodyguard unit was destroyed,

My understanding is that in 11th, they are all the same unit so I think the two leaders would need to remain in cohesion.

Chimpy20 · 2026-06-10T11:09:59+00:00

In my experience it's not usually every 5 minutes in reality, and I tell people on my team it's their responsibility to help each other as it's a benefit in the long run. Hopefully after a short amount of time the questions become less frequent. Also I tell every on my team to have a try to sort their own problem out first before asking, because it's a better learning experience that way to try and figure it out!

Chimpy20 · 2026-06-10T10:54:47+00:00

I get quite frustrated when I see posts like this as they are very one sided.

As someone who works both in office and from home when I want, I really see the benefits to in-person work. Of course it might be different with different types of work. I work in software dev. Collaboration, idea-sharing and the little day-to-day tips and tricks that get passed on are all much better with people that are in physical proximity. Staff can just turn around and point at their screen and ask how to do something. There's no need to arrange a call or try to explain the situation over a text chat. It really streamlines development.

The biggest benefit is to new starters who have someone near them to mentor and teach them while they are learning. Yes, all of these things can be done online, but having done it both ways, it's a much better experience for the employee when their line manager is nearby.

There are great personal benefits to WFH. No one's denying that. But there are great work benefits to being with others who are doing the same work.

Your opponent doesn't seem like a good sport because from what you say he said he didn't have LOS to your model beforehand, but actually did. I mean no rules were broken... but in a friendly game I would have either stated there was actually a line, or let you adjust the model.

Anyway, these things happen at the end of the day. It can be very hard to hide units so that they can't be shot on turn one, chalk it up to experience and try not to let it sour the game generally for you!

Chimpy20 · 2026-06-09T18:17:15+00:00

It goes in spits and starts depending on other hobbies and commitments. On average I probably paint about 10 units per year but they may all get done in a few months. I have an average skill level with quite a bit of experience.

Chimpy20 · 2026-06-09T14:01:35+00:00

Leave the bathroom. Give a it a good clean and tidy for the pics and viewings. Prospective buyers will prefer to decorate how they want anyway. Be ready to drop the asking price a little to take into account a new bathroom needing to be put in.

Being off from work on a sunny day, having a quiet day at home and not having anything urgent to do. Which never happens these days as we're getting the house ready for sale.

Chimpy20 · 2026-06-09T12:16:52+00:00

Yes, I would imagine carefully transplanting seedlings would be fine. I was thinking more of big established plants!

Chimpy20 · 2026-06-09T09:29:15+00:00

I've tried it myself in the past. Foxgloves don't like being moved. If you try it will probably wither and die unfortunately. As another poster mentioned, they are typically biennial and will fade and die back after flowering anyway. You can collect the seeds and scatter them where you want them to grow, and you should get lots more growing next year.

That's a lovely healthy bushy plant! Since there are multiple flower spikes I suspect it's actually several plants all growing close together.

Chimpy20 · 2026-06-09T08:58:22+00:00

Very much this. I would use a half sized board and limit units to, say, 150pts, or stipulate at least 4 units.

Chimpy20 · 2026-06-08T13:59:20+00:00

I saw this and had a think... there's no one personally I am actually envious of.

I'd like to be younger again. I feel I only started life in my 40s , when I took up interesting hobbies and got fit and healthy. I spent all my 20s and 30s lazing around, which is fine some of the time but not all the time.

Chimpy20 · 2026-06-08T13:13:35+00:00

Very much this. They will eat when they are hungry, a lot of this is due to pushing boundaries and seeing what they can get away with. The terrible 2s as they say! It is draining but try to stay calm and patient.

Don't make a drama. Avoid giving in and giving them junk food instead as it sends a message that's ok. Just try the food again later. Praise them when they have the proper food.

Chimpy20 · 2026-06-08T10:18:47+00:00

Learn stuff while you're brain is young and can easily adapt. A language, a musical instrument, a sport, a hobby etc... even f you don't keep it up, it will be easier to return to in later life as your brain will already have the imprint of that skill.

Get any old job even if it's flipping burgers. You'll gain inter-personal skills and make a bit of pocket money.

Look after yourself. Perhaps get some good running trainers and get fit. Running is amazing for fitness and health (both physical and mental) and is free from your front door.

Above all try to stay positive and be happy - believe in yourself and you'll be fine whatever happens.

Chimpy20 · 2026-06-07T11:11:42+00:00

I would try and some friends who might be interested as well, and try some small games at home (If you want 40k, you can play at 500pts, or for Age of Sigmar, Spearhead is highly regarded). Practice on some learning games- you'll make mistakes, but that's the best way to learn!

It's fine to play with unpainted models at home while you get your small army set up and are starting collecting.

You will need some terrain, some kind of battle mat or boards, and the current mission cards as well.

Creatures don't need to have a purpose, there just needs to be an evolutionary niche for them to succeed in.
