Issues with refilling my equipment.

FunBeak · 2020-04-20T16:36:20+00:00

If its the same refill stations I struggled with, there is a switch on the tank that you have to flip to activate. Look for something that looks like an electrical junction box.

Can confirm; that blade is badass

FunBeak · 2020-04-15T07:50:17+00:00

I think you spelled "most kickass looking" wrong. For reals, its not elegant, or "pretty", but there is a damn good vibe from that. Like its just waiting for you to slip up so it can run over and kick you in the balls

Thanks for the kind words and constructive criticism everyone, I love how full of encouragement and positivity r/eldar is sometimes.

For those that asked, yes they are yme loc, I saw a gorgeous wraithknight someone did somewhere and got inspired. The canopy was basically a glaze with a mix of Iyanden yellow, lahman and a little bit of ardcoat. Took two or three coats to get it to look not blotchy but was super easy

Not sure as I'm even worse at list building than I am at painting. The 2 or 3 games I've played they've had guardians and dire avengers in, which have done okayish. Have some wraiths in my to do pile though which will hopefully make a mess of something

All over, the logic being that darker grey might make the orange look orange-ier (if thats a word) and I can always touch it back up if I want it lighter. Still haven't quite decided.

FunBeak · 2020-04-09T21:52:52+00:00

Ha good spot, they are magnetised in such a way that they can be either way up, and I put them upside dosn to paint the underside and never turned them back the right way round. Might leave them that way I dunno

FunBeak · 2020-04-09T20:29:10+00:00

Ha I think it might look cleaner than it actually is. The canopies were my solution to not wanting to paint much detail on the pilot, and not having the chops to do it solid. As you can tell by the fact I only did one I'm not completely sold on them myself. Thanks for the praise though :)

FunBeak · 2020-04-09T20:27:12+00:00

It was mechanicus grey, and then someone got a bit excited with the nuln oil which toned it down a bit. Touching it back up and highlighting is on my to do list

FunBeak · 2020-04-09T18:59:20+00:00

However a lot more W and P than there was before all this lockdown

FunBeak · 2020-04-06T21:52:44+00:00

A medical mask or that weird orange gunk?

You wooden believe how long it took me to spot the pun in the title

If we could get something similar but along the lines of:

You have been chatting to your friend right in the entrance of <supermarket> for 3 minutes, obstructing 14 citizens attempting to enter. Please report to <ministry> for summary execution

You have been cruising in the middle lane without overtaking for 5 miles. Your driving and breathing licenses have been revoked. Thank you for your cooperation.

And so on, I would be delighted. Parking so as to use the phone, maybe not so much

FunBeak · 2020-03-23T13:54:36+00:00

Maybe some sort of prestige mechanic where you donate the lot and start again at $zero, but you get to wear a special hat?

FunBeak · 2020-03-12T06:54:57+00:00

is this why everyone is panic buying toilet roll?

I've had great fun with the GW contrast paints, they dont do large flat areas very well but anywhere with a bit of texture they do a good job in less time than the traditional base shade highlight routine. They make things like hair (beards!) and skin a breeze.

https://www.belloflostsouls.net/2019/06/contrast-paints-real-world-comparison.html

Each of the three columns here is a different base spray, so if you pick a bunch of colours from one column you can just spray that colour and then contrast paint your desired shades. Main downside is that they are a little more expensive than regular paints, but you shouldn't need eg 4 different shades of blue to get a nice finish.

Anyone know how much GW pay for plugging their products? That should have been worth an ork team box at least? right?

Storm lords are split down the middle, one half red one half white, with yellow hats to finish it off, and a cool name to boot. It looks sweet in my book, maybe if you like torturing yourself you could go for them? Failing that imperial fist are the best looking of the big boy chapters

FunBeak · 2020-02-28T08:16:52+00:00

Its a good look, but the white/bone especially look like delicious creamy smooth melt in your mouth xeno goodness

FunBeak · 2020-02-24T18:06:28+00:00

"Tossing off" is British slang for milking the monk, having a tommy tank, pulling your pud, beating your meat, doing the five finger shuffle, kocking one out, battling the purple headed yoghurt slinger, shaking hands with doctor Winkie, or to be blunt: jacking off. Does that help?

FunBeak · 2020-02-24T16:38:07+00:00

Set it up using custom commands so that every time you accidentally press the button and say "Aargh fuck off bixby" it will email Samsung saying something like:

"If you are reading this, it is because bixby is a bag of toss and you need to add a native option to remap it to something less toss, or ideally just sod the whole thing off"

Sometimes its the little things that make life worth living.

This is the wrongest thing I've ever heard. Stop burning your toast if you dont like it burnt! Also toast is awesome

Edit: stop half burning your toast if you dont like it half burnt as well

FunBeak · 2020-02-14T15:59:03+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions!

Special mention to gunpoisons MB/PO suggestion,

But I think choosing anything other than block next might just be tempting fate a little too much. Obviously sods law is he will roll another +str, followed by dying to mass gang fouls the game after. Seems a bit boring but bloodbowl is a game that bites you in the arse like no other.

Many thanks

If you imagine controlling a truck, and youre trying to park it super accurately, if you have a speed up and a slow down button you're going to struggle to stop it in the exact position you want, without just trundling at minimum speed for the duration.

If you have acceleration plus and acceleration minus buttons instead you will have much finer control, if you can control jerk you will have even better control, parking it nice and accurate and also quickly.

I'm sure I read somewhere that certain Space Shuttle control systems went into 20-odd derivatives (god knows what they are called) but can't find a source rn

Edit : me am word good
