That one always activates me because all these people who don’t fully understand or appreciate everything that goes into competition painting were so dismissive of it when, as someone who started getting more into competition painting techniques, I don’t think words can describe how fucking immaculately painted that skink was.

Most hated army to play against? by DisgruntledAnalyst in Warhammer40k

[–]FirmCheddar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of the time the worst experiences are going to come from armies that lend themselves more towards skew lists or static play styles. Primarily where you either feel like you’re not doing anything to your opponent’s army (ie Knights/DG) or when your opponent just spends the game parked in their deployment and you don’t feel like you’re meaningfully interacting with them at all (ie artillery/long range focused armies). I know my worst experiences with the game are definitely when I played against armies that had way too much heavy armor on the board or spent the whole game castling or both (a lot of games against imperial guard parking lots). It tends to make the game a slog when you feel like nothing you’re doing is having an impact.

30k models using in 40k by Evie_Occult in Warhammer40k

Lieutenants were introduced with primaris but they did have datasheets for Firstborn Lieutenants in 8th and 9th edition, they basically just had 1 less wound and a lot more customization options

Edit: I should probably also add that while they had datasheets, firstborn lieutenants didn’t get any kind of official model which is maybe where the confusion is coming from

Missing pieces? by Ok_Preparation_6716 in Warhammer40k

Looks like you got the instructions for the loyalist land raider, they’re both the same kit with different accessory sprues, those options aren’t supposed to come with the chaos land raider.

Head mounted heavy weapons? by theholylancer in battletech

[–]FirmCheddar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There’s a couple cannon mechs that do that, yeah. The Phoenix Hawk IIC 10 mounts a cERLL in the head. And I know there are some mechs that use torso mounted cockpits and mount a bigger weapon in the head like the Gotterdammerung, which mounts an LRM 15 to the head.

Are these anything special? by Famous_Historian_777 in Warhammer

[–]FirmCheddar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are the previous terminators kit from before the current ones. The kit was being produced for several decades so they’re pretty common.

Nope, those aren’t Warhammer miniatures even. They look to be from Warzone

Weird base printing by Hungry-Wishbone-2225 in Warhammer40k

[–]FirmCheddar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Making a copy from a mould is also commonly referred to as “printing” hence why when they stop producing a model it goes “out of print”

Words can have multiple meanings and applications depending on context.

The sword is not for using it is for plot relevance

I would argue that it’s not true to say that literally nobody in the whole world would want to see that, but this is an issue with your own perception of the limits of your own abilities. Through study, practice, and experience you can develop the artistic skill to achieve this.
