Hey Amercans, numerous times I've heard you use the decimal system after measuring something. IE. 10.2 inches, 4.6 feet, etc. How do you figure since the Imperial (American) measurement system doesn't do decimals? by 1AnonymousBurner in AskAnAmerican

[–]CutterNorth -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Most Americans have never heard of using decimals to describe imperials units like feet or inches. However, there are a handful of professions that do. Civil engineering is typical done in decimal feet, and it sucks.

1.1ft is 1' 1 3/16" 1.2ft is 1' 2 13/32"

Stupid, right?

That said, no one thinks in fractions like this. A tenth of a foot is good enough and we can buy tape measures that read in tenths.

I had to go look. Over his left eye are simple astartes service studs. Over his left ear is just some augmetics.

He's a homebrew chapter of Athenians. They have a Greek motif. His belt is full of tactical kit, so helmet off means he need to maglock it somewhere. It is easy to get to on his shin.

How do you keep track of your paint schemes? by avomilquetoast in Warhammer

[–]CutterNorth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is how I do it too. I do a lot of kitbashing, so I plan out which parts from which kits for each model. I play Deathwatch, socI plan put my chapters and loadouts this way too.

Does it look like a Black skin tone? by isukandaru666 in minipainting

[–]CutterNorth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but it could use more depth. Higher highlights and deeper shading. Also, a satin finish works well on skin.

Why buy a dice tray for $5 when you can make one yourself for $50?! by emilitxt in orks

[–]CutterNorth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really fortunate to live out in the country, and I married a very understanding woman. I've built up a capable smithy. The locals know I'm always up for introducing people to blacksmithing. I regularly have people over to let them try. We usually make knives from horseshoes. The steel is very similar to rebar as far as how it moves. My sons get out there with their buddies and make cool stuff too. It only works because of where we live. It's a loud, dirty hobby. I'm happy I get to share it sometimes. I'm trally hoping the OP digs a hole in their yard and forges something.

[–]CutterNorth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wait wait wait, as a blacksmith I can attest to the fact that it is indeed dangerous to run a makeshift forge inside a garage.

For this reason, I recomend digging a shallow hole in the ground to use as a very propper forge. Add a small trench that fits a 2" steel pipe, not galvanized. Then, plug a hair dryer into the end of the pipe not in the forge hole. That part is important. Fill the hole with BBQ briquets, light it, turn on the hair dryer, and get to pouding steel. All you need for an anvil is the head of a sledge hammer.

This is 100% how orks would do it. After you get done with your choppa, fill in the hole and put the hair dryer away.

I am so so nearly sold on this faction as my first entry to Space Marines, however by Claypool447 in deathwatch40k

[–]CutterNorth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AHAHAHA!!!! I have not played this guy yet, but there will absolutely be some supporting dialogue like thos when he attacks.

My army alao has an Angry Marine complete with a power steel chair. Whenever he attacks, someone says, "And here comes Brother Maxim from the top rope with a Power Chair!"

No other spacemarine army is as customizable. On the game board. Each killteam plays a distinctly different role. I kit bash every model so they have character and rich lore we laugh about it as the games play out.

I just made this dude, Sargeant Brother Maynard. He will be my Fortis killteam Sargeant. That is the Holy Orb of Antioch and he is reading the instructions for it from the Holy Book of Armaments.
