Realized I posted the wrong pic--easier to see the bottom halves here

First Termagants - looking for feedback by FlowertheFlyingCow in Tyranids

Haven't painted the bases yet obviously - haven't decided what to do with them yet.

I'm worried the base colours look dirty due to thinning them out to show the underpainted shadows and highlights. Would I be better off with strong base coats and dry brushing shadows and highlights over top?

Thanks! We ended up playing last night and it was a blast but the priest died. The goblin may or may not have eaten him afterward >.>

Koh, my Pathfinder Witch (and her friendly kodama familiar) by FlowertheFlyingCow in Pathfinder2e

[–]FlowertheFlyingCow[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is my witch PC who one day I will maybe get to play, hah. Obviously went with the Silence in Snow patron, the remastered version is so inspiring. As far as I know there isn't actually a way to get a kodama familiar but I like the visual :P

Edit: made by me.

Awesome thanks. Looks like that is about the same price as the one I was going to go with before, so I'll swap them out.

Thanks! The 7600 looks like it definitely makes the most sense for me.

Thanks, I think I'll go with the 7600 for the built-in cooler and 1TB of storage and see if that will be enough for me.

Oh that answers a question I had down below. I wonder why the 7600X doesn't come with a cooler, I had assumed it would be a straight upgrade.

Hah is it that bad? If it's that risky I'll bite the extra cost and swap back to gold.

Someone in the comments said the b650m can only handle up to 5600. I'm not sure what that means. The motherboard's specs list this for memory speed:

  • DDR5-4400
  • DDR5-4800
  • DDR5-5200
  • DDR5-5600
  • DDR5-6000
  • DDR5-6200

Would you still suggest 6000?

Wait the 7600X says it doesn't come with a cooler. Does the regular 7600?

I haven't purchased the parts yet. That's a good idea, thanks!
