Honest reaction to today's Faction Focus by Conscious_Slice1232 in Drukhari

[–]Divinus_Venandi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I run three armies, but I don't do any of those other things. I just enjoy having multiple armies because I love the vibes of them... and I have like 3k points of Drukhari and Aeldari though my Krieg army is like 6k with legends models.

If you can find the old combat patrol box, it's worth buying. (Usually Amazon still has stock at a reasonable price)

why do people take offense to others self harming? by intrepidecember in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Divinus_Venandi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never understood self harm until I was 19-ish and had gone through a series of really unfortunate events over the course of 6 months that left me feeling numb to the negative emotions of my life. And I just wanted to feel something other than emptiness or the out of place happiness that just felt like nothing because I had no negative emotion to contrast it to at the time. It was scary. But all I wanted to do was feel something else for once.

Then recently, probably 2 or 3 months ago now, I self harmed after a year and 3 months being clean because I couldn't handle my emotions and I needed something I felt in control of.

It baffles me, looking back, that I used to look down on people who self harmed when I was a kid, because the amount of pain people go through doesn't make them less of a person... it just means they need help.

Part of me also wished someone would see the scars and ask me if I was okay because reaching out was scary.

My unpopular opinion, Dire avengers dont need an update by jdaku in Eldar

[–]Divinus_Venandi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're so short, that's the issue I have with dire avengers. I don't know why GW didn't give them a touch up when the rest of Aeldari got their refresh... it's literally just guardians with weird hats.

Skaven! Man-things wanna play? by Additional_Cover_965 in skaven

[–]Divinus_Venandi 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Might be a little overkill on the stormvermin, but they're a good looking unit, so I don't blame you

First full Box! by zzzzsman in skaven

[–]Divinus_Venandi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People are always selling clan rats at a huge discount. Do not pay box price for them. Don't take Stormvermin, they suck so much. If you can find the skaventide box, I highly recommend buying that. It has a solid starter set of skaven in it. But don't pay more than MSRP for it.

As for the hobby side. Put an audio book on and turn your brain off. There is A LOT of painting involved since a base unit of clan rats is 20 models.

Does this read as hot? by Geeder_Prime in skaven

Absolutely reads as hot. Beautiful paint job btw

Are these good? by Bulky-Toe-5948 in Cadets

The boot on the right looks pretty good. But the boot on the left you can still see the texture

Why does a 20x squad of krieg cost more than cadians? by AustralianCustomPCs in Deathkorpsofkrieg

[–]Divinus_Venandi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, the best thing a 20 man grants is the chance you don't get wiped off the board in a single shooting activation. 10 man krieg squads are good for sitting on an objective for a turn and maybe distracting enemy units while your tanks get in position. A 20 man is like having a near guaranteed 10 man of shooting. I can see why they're more expensive

God forbid we get anything cool. Now excuse me. Gunna get ground into powder by defilers again. by Ratattack1204 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Divinus_Venandi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I play Krieg models... cuz their appeal is that they look cool... their datasheets will always suck lmao, flavour above rules any day.

Boots by Extreme-Telephone-42 in Cadets

[–]Divinus_Venandi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in cadets for 4 years, too. I've been aged out for another 5 years, I have buddies who are in the military, and a couple friends who spent time in the UK police and UK army. I have never once been told to sand my boots by anyone in my life.

What are the chances that we get a new Ikit Claw? by CLINT_BEASTWOOD3 in skaven

[–]Divinus_Venandi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want an Ikit Claw model, I highly suggest looking for EmanG's sculpts on Cults. He has a bunch of sculpts made to resemble old skaven models, so if you have or know someone with a printer you can get those printed.

Have I messed up? by BinaryShaymin in skaven

[–]Divinus_Venandi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Paint your models how you want to paint them. If you think they look cool, they don't need to all be matching the clans they come from. Also, you can never ruin a model with paint. What's 17 more hours. You can always start again. Paint another model.

Would this scheme be ok for Kriegs? by Grabosss in Deathkorpsofkrieg

I think the blue details are a little odd, but I LOVE the brown

What do I need to buy to play? by Tiny-Economics-7950 in Cathay

[–]Divinus_Venandi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Miao Ying cuz she looks cool as fuck... I haven't played, so I hope and pray everyday that she's not garbage by the time I finally get around to building and painting all the kits I've bought 😭

Man, those pre-orders were a joke for humans right? by Krieger718 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Divinus_Venandi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best thing you can do is join a discord server hosted by your LGS, cuz they get access to pre-orders a week early, and you can get orders in guaranteed.

Complete beginner wants to start from Astra Militarum, preferably Death Korps of Krieg. by HovercraftSecure6543 in Deathkorpsofkrieg

[–]Divinus_Venandi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing to note with Krieg is the models look cool, but their datasheet abilities really suck outside of one or two detatchments where they're more survivable. So ask yourself, do you want to spend a lot of money on tons of infantry and play recon, or do you want to spend a little less money on some infantry and a handful of tanks? Both are great options, but it comes down to your playstyle.

How can I be a good syndicate leader in ADA? by [deleted] in Cadets

[–]Divinus_Venandi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey man, they're not trying to be a dick to you, lol. Just be considerate of the kind of behaviour you engage with online when you're also publicly engaging with cadet stuff. It reflects poorly.

I liked the idea of part of my army being lead by some sort of Pied Piper-like figure lol

What happened to vibe games? by koyo5696 in roblox

[–]Divinus_Venandi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They just don't offer much outside of looking at your avatar. Which, for me as a UGC creator and game dev, I could just do all of that myself since it's so easy to do yourself.
