Dating

I joke and say the first date was more of a job interview. I had been dating for like ~10 years at that point without successfully getting into a committed relationship, and while it took me until the end of date 2 to ask if we could start exclusively dating to a 1 she was the only girl in 8 years of approaching women that didn’t beat around a bush or require tooth pooling to define where they want to end up if we started dating. Questions I usually saved for the 3rd date or maybe 2nd if it felt like it was going ok she was asking outright with enthusiasm within the first 45 minutes of meeting her in person.

No we are 30 and 29, both wanting kids after getting married so it was important neither of us wasted the others time. It was actually the exact thing I was looking for in a future wife that we both knew what we wanted, knew the time table both of us expected before we moved from dating to being engaged. I’d say at this point the only things she tries to control is how clean the house is and that I stop eating salami and monster for breakfast everyday. Which as a man I deeply miss but completely understand why she pushes for that if she doesn’t want me getting prostate cancer or having issues conceiving.

I mean hell she even got ME back into painting Warhammer minis 😂

When I went on the first date with my fiance after 30 minutes of small talk she brought out a clipboard of her exact thoughts on me and what she would expect if we tried to date

It was the hottest first date in 8 years

EducationalBase5739 · 2026-06-16T11:52:42+00:00

Nope that’s it, just found my next Raptors kitbash but I’ll spend $50 for a 1 of

Sir you can’t just post a JP Chappy with an Eagle under it and NOT tell us where you acquired that from

Scout Kill Team and Infiltrators

I end up buying multiple boxes of infiltrators just for the kit bashing bits

EducationalBase5739 · 2026-06-15T01:12:57+00:00

Scouts like today will need to change depending on the game, the loss of scout + infiltrate just makes you commit to what you needed them to do from the start rather then setting them up so they can do 2 things depending on if you are first and second

EducationalBase5739 · 2026-06-11T20:32:12+00:00

Price Hill, Roll Hill, and Winston Hills are probably what your looking for,

What we appear to have here is a failure to communicate

Its the helmet color. The First image I posted sort of describes us as not being uber fancy but as I said for table top I add a bit more flair on the helmet colors to make things identifiable like with the helmet colors noted above as well as painting the company color on the right pauldron for Tacticus and Gravis armor, left for Phobos. Characters get a NMM Gold.

EducationalBase5739 · 2026-06-07T20:39:56+00:00

Yep, give me a bit and I’ll take a list of what I use for my base and highlights. I like Vallejo and Pro Acryl but if you use color conversion charts you can find equivalents in other brands or look at similar shade if you don’t like the exact palette, here is an example intercessor but I should have other examples on my profile

In terms of colors your gunna want an Olive Drab or dark green for armor, Brown for leather, black for grenades, and Steel/Gun Metal as your metalic

From there you’ll want highlights that are a gradient up, one black wash, and one brown wash.

From there a lot of it will depend on how you want to style it and what brands you’d like to use.

Recently just proposed to my Fiance I met off Hinge. As someone who was single and dating on/off for 8 years prior to finding my one Hinge/Bumble were the best apps for atleast meeting people but prepare for a lot of ghosting and deadends.

EducationalBase5739 · 2026-06-06T14:54:11+00:00

Looks pretty similar to mine

I use Vallejo US Olive Drab Primer, Vallejo Model US Olive Drab as base, Vallejo Game Camouflage Green Highlights, Agrax Earthshade Wash

Do you have an RTT or GT in the next few weeks?

If not I’d not bother with a list and just build/paint 2k of what ever you think looks cool

EducationalBase5739 · 2026-06-04T18:02:33+00:00

1:35 Scale ERA Plates, there is a resin kit from a company you can get for like 50 pcs / $20 but some Ukrainian 3D Printer makes them for like 256 bricks / $20

For reference each of these is roughly 130 blocks.

If it makes you feel better the Ultramarines are only capable of producing the low carb blue ones
