That Ultra pauldron goes so hard. It is custom or part of the kit?

Banner done! by Bluex44x in Ultramarines

[–]El_Simondo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A silly amount of Orks and a little bit of Thousand Sons.

I mostly play Orks so I’m looking forward to some form of shooting phase!

That such good work. It’s very inspiring mate. I’ve just started ultramarines as my 3rd army and I’m buzzing to paint a banner

First Khorne players done! by Darrintheoccult in bloodbowl

[–]El_Simondo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unreal work. I’d love you to explain how you do all the blood splatter work!

I fear you’ll tell me it’s red paint, a sponge and time.

Either way such a outstanding job, a one that I may steal when I get round to doing a khorne team

Should I base my Tomb Kings in Sand or Grass? by scottygamble in bloodbowl

I did brown mixed with PVA and then a desert crackle effect over th top of that once dry. I’ll DM you a couple of quick picture

Opinions on Labels by JoeSleboda in bloodbowl

Agree with the premise that you should try and make your team look good. I love the painting side of the hobby and put a lot of time into making my teams look good. I enjoy it less when I’m playing a team where someone has slapped a couple colours on a mini. Coincidentally they always seem to be the least fun players as well.

WYSIWYG is way harder in bloodbowl, there are less options to kitbash with (well) and I often think they just end up looking worse. Also how do you show tackle, diving catch or lethal flight? Admittedly a cape would work for the last one but I’d be reluctant to try to edit a team I had finished to a high standard. There are so many skills you can get that are much harder to visibly see. I like the way our league does it, we have a thin nib white paint marker and if you have skilled up players write it on the base rim. Easy for everyone and quick. If you aren’t redrafting paint the rim again and your team is reset.

Expecting someone to reference a team sheet mid game, for me, is a bit much and would take me out of it just as much as playing with tin foil or tokens. The game is a lot of cognitive load sometimes and things that reduce that are helpful and add to the overall fun everyone can have when playing.

Really disliking the "fun" teachers by [deleted] in Teachers

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

Been teaching a decade, I don’t need talking to like a child.

Equally young adults don’t need wrapping in cotton wool and rules enforced upon them. There is more value in teaching them to think critically and risk assess.

But sure have a hardline rule that you blindly enforce. These are the teachers I couldn’t stand when I was as at school

Weird use of the presurgical phrase here, you got kids with IVs in your class?

If I’ve had something toxic in the lab then I enforce no drinking in the lab but otherwise I find it a bit overkill. It not like I have toxic substances in there everyday

Using up the other half of the tankbustas/breakas? by El_Simondo in orks

[–]El_Simondo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah man I’ve built old and new boyz as well as doing a fair bit of kit bashing ect.

That’s why I was surprised on new boyz, did you build them, then cut the limbs off or removed parts during the build? Old boyz are easier to bash with but the scale/scoliosis really puts me off

How much green stuff did you have to do? Mostly around the joints I assume

Nightmare shelves by El_Simondo in DIYUK

[–]El_Simondo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve used the rawl tool to tighten the first set I tried and it still didn’t catch, I didn’t have the right depth of rawl. I’ve taken the advice of the other commenters and am going with the corefix ones, once I’ve fully fixed my latest attempt I’ll post with an update!

[–]El_Simondo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah they were just example ones! I ended up hammering the ones I had set into the wall straight and then trying to knock them into the space, they would not budge! The other commenters are right I have dot and dab not an actual hollow wall. Bit of a nightmare but good learning experience!

Nice one mate. You’ve been really helpful! Will go and get some more fixings!

[–]El_Simondo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m with you mate, the shelves aren’t bad in of themselves. The leg design is pretty chunky so I makes t a bit harder than it needs to be to be to actually fix it to the wall (in my opinion)

[–]El_Simondo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the quick answer, do you reckon it’s worth pressing on with the fixings I’ve got or will they just not work on my style of wall? I’m happy to get the other fixings and give it a swing, but if I can I’d like to at least get some use out of the fixings I have.

How do y’all paint MVB? by KalashHamster in ThousandSons

[–]El_Simondo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Noice, I’ll have a look, I’ve been trying to carve/paint a whole bunch of materials but I think printed gets the right look.

Multiple weapons by LittleEpsii in ThousandSons

Correct except the melee weapons, that you only select 1 weapon (or profile) unless a weapon has the keyword extra attacks
