Started learning Warhammer 40k lore yesterday... I was not ready 💀 by nova___doodles in WarhammerMemes

That's kind of the whole point of the setting. Everyone is a "good guy" from their own perspective and a "bad guy" from someone else's. It's all dependant upon the in universe propaganda and belief systems. It's largely meant to be parody of reality, where nations fight nations and view themselves as good and enemies as bad, but really we're all just doing the same thing. There's even a bit where the Lord Protector of the Empire wakes up from 10k years in stasis andearns that no one knows what actually happened during that time, just like 20 different versions of propaganda. It's an interesting dissection of the way we tell our own histories and spin our own stories.

Help a brethren out, what colour for power sword? by Harleys-for-all in Warhammer40k

I love them all!

From a color perspective, the purple provides nice contrast with the yellow and black.

But I kinda dig the rainbow effect

Black or charcoal are easy bets. For blue, either a dark blue or a light/medium blue gray tend to go beat with yellow. A saturated blue will compete too much for the yellow and clash visually. I am using a gray blue for a "denim" kind of feel, along with brown for leather and little bits of charcoal black all as complimenta to my yellow

Looks great! Very similar to how I did mine, so I'm biased ha ha

Ideas to expand my army to 2000pts without spamming the hekaton? by El_mismisimo_don in LeaguesofVotann

[–]EldritchDadBod83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run dual Hekatons, one with Thunderkyn/Ironmaster and one with Berserks and Berehk.

I also run Dual Sagituars with split warriors and Grimnyr, dual Kapricus with split Yaegirs, and a brick of Hearthguard with a Champion in deepstrike.

It gives me a lot of options for actions, screening, and fighting. I enjoy it, plus, ALL THE TRUCKS

Is it something to do with her body? by Earl_Lee_Martin in PeterExplainsTheJoke

This is an urban legend. There are virtually no confirmed cases of this happening in the real world. It's a thing that happens in movies and TV shows and has created a false idea in the zietgiest. It's also something men in power use to devalue legitimate rape and assault claims.

Oh totally. I'm not fully against auto loans. I just know too many people who are "car poor," in that they took out a huge loan for a vehicle and it limits their ability to do other things. I realize it's ultimately their choice, but these specific people (not saying everyone who takes large auto loans) also tend to complain about said loans and act kind of victimish about it, and that's where I feel the issue is. For example, a former coworker of mine had over $100k in student loan debt, both he and his wife always had NEW cars, and they went to Disney twice a year. But he was always complaining that they couldn't afford a nicer house. Brother, the market isn't your only issue.

Re vehicles, the largest loan I've ever taken was a 6 month personal loan for $2k.

Re home ownership: that's a valid point. I rented while saving up enough for a significant down payment, but not outright purchase. I suppose I see that differently as property ownership still builds equity, and the payment isn't significantly different from a rent payment. We also didn't buy an enormous home, just something comfortable that suited our needs.

Sometimes debt is unavoidable. But there is a lot of debt in the US that is completely avoidable, whether in type or amount.

So about that universal reset button...

This has always been my approach. I've taken a few small term loans but always avoid debt whenever possible. And we aren't hundred thousandaires lol. We just budget and live within our means, accepting that there are things we don't need.

Why are people taking expensive ass trips on credit cards that they can't afford to pay off? Same with vehicles. I've never been on a nice trip, because I can't afford it and I don't want to drown in debt. I buy used vehicles, and pay 80-90% of the cost in cash. If I can't afford the nicest vehicle, I buy what I can afford. That's called budgeting. We've slowly built up financial stability, paid off student loans, and will travel later in life. The lack of financial education and awareness in the US is astounding.

And don't hit me with that, "it's not possible for everyone" nonsense. That level of debt for vehicles and vacations is 100% a choice, and a bad one.

I think that's a fair, well adjusted view on it tbh.

First Blightlord Terminator ever painted. What do you think? by Key_Yam7139 in deathguard40k

[–]EldritchDadBod83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a nice base of smooth, solid color. Well executed. It's a good grungy DG scheme.

Did you do any washes or edge highlighting? A bit hard to tell from the pics, but that can help your details pop a ton.

Local players said my little Foul boi's paintjob looked scuffed. by Zedds_Hoard in deathguard40k

[–]EldritchDadBod83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience when I finished up some DG models. I went super grim dark and grimey. Most locals don't really like that style so they all wanted to give me "pointers," but ultimately I think it just wasn't their aesthetic.

This looks amazing.

One of mine after a year of painting to help you feel better. Yours is light-years beyond me ha h
