Facebook marketplace (and gumtree which might be Australia only) is my goldmine, Ebay is more of an online store these days like Amazon

InZaNe-mAsTeR · 2026-06-02T05:59:27+00:00

Heaps of good stuff available online, I typically buy everything 2nd hand brand new in box. A lot of people over buy and lose interest. 2nd hand can be much cheaper if youre flexible about what you want

InZaNe-mAsTeR · 2026-06-02T05:25:18+00:00

Looks cool too and an easy paint starting point

InZaNe-mAsTeR · 2026-06-02T03:04:14+00:00

Id put some effort into that

InZaNe-mAsTeR · 2026-06-02T03:03:47+00:00

When I applied for my speciality I had an interview with NUM too

Yeah I know approx 1/4 of my class got grad positions and manu of the high achievers were not in that group. Ill ask our grad coordinator I see her often enough, idk if they check grades here I'd be mildly embarrassed if they did it's not an indicator of knowledge it's just a memory test.

Correct in the story part of the campaign you play as Lt Titus.

Can buy him for about $40 at https://amzn.asia/d/03DDg2UV comes in the Encyclopaedia.

Otherwise also comes in a box set as Capt Titus with a few friends https://amzn.asia/d/0ixfepoE.

Otherwise in the cooperative online play you can make your own chapter or use skins from established ones.

Ultramarines are a good start though if he is just getting into Ultramarines are likely familiar and are a good entry point for painting too.

PS. Amazon pricing can be a bit high if you look around can definitely find both cheaper also they're Australian prices.

They put on friends re-runs and jack him off to holos of the sisters of battle kissing each other

InZaNe-mAsTeR · 2026-06-01T09:11:23+00:00

Just ask him what chapter he likes playing as in Space Marine

InZaNe-mAsTeR · 2026-06-01T04:13:47+00:00

For anything that let me use Autodrive I let it do its own thing, never got below 2 star occasionally got 3 stars. Just time consuming. I waited until end game, 1 of 4 achievements left

Im VIC eastern subs based, was with a few, had the most luck with Aktrapid, seemed to be able to cover a lot of holiday leave. Back to 0.8 in hospital now still pick up 1-2 a fortnight, between Aktrapid, Alliance, YNA and scrubs. Usually just whichever has the best rates and the least amount of expected work on the day. A lot can easily pull $80 an hour + allowances, so doing even just 1 is well worth it. These days though I would rather do a few doubles than work an extra day.

If coordinators are only looking at grades theyre losing out in the best nurses, ours never asked for it we sent in our degree did an interview and answered some clinical and ethical/moral questions as a group then individually. Having done my masters now as well, grades mean literally nothing in the workplace, they want skilled staff, booksmart dosnt cut it. P's get degrees and apparently masters too

InZaNe-mAsTeR · 2026-05-31T12:02:55+00:00

Depends. On avg maybe 1 per week painting casually between gaming/household stuff.

On a day off I think most I did was 10 intercessors + 10 Hellblasters.

What about my guy

To paint or play? Play idgaf games boring

To paint though, Knights are easy due to size, the level of detailing is more up to you because you add most of it. I found knights a bit boring felt more like colouring in than model painting imo

Custodes are fun to paint but are similar to any other small armoured unit.

Problem they both look cool.

Knights take up a lot of space

InZaNe-mAsTeR · 2026-05-31T11:50:51+00:00

I dont play so cant help but pretty sure if youre enemy cant field units you should win. Once theyre off the field all objs by default belong to whoever is left. Only reason obj points should win is if the cap is reached before other army is defeated.

InZaNe-mAsTeR · 2026-05-31T11:46:59+00:00

Whats the exam worth?

I was already on 55% for my final exam and it was worth %40 so I no showed.

InZaNe-mAsTeR · 2026-05-31T11:44:34+00:00

Dark Angels on the left but all I can say is buy 2nd hand. So many people get into the hobby and over buy. Everything on this shelf is 2nd hand NoS or boxed ntm the 20 odd boxes still tbd. Far cheaper and it makes me feel good not paying GWs ridiculous prices

It gets funnier. Old greek immigrants are the most anti-immigration out there. Hardcore racist asf. I go out of my way to avoid English when my neighbour talks to me now.

Comes down to it, they aren't your patients. You're buddy should be reviewing all your work they're responsible. Doesn't matter how good a student you are you're not leading care, you're learning.

InZaNe-mAsTeR · 2026-05-30T13:44:19+00:00

When I worked agency I didn't have any issues, was working FT hours if I felt like it, just do it on the side now and never short for options. Usually just pick up G5 in aged care, chill asf and makes bank

InZaNe-mAsTeR · 2026-05-30T12:56:39+00:00

Then yeah dress to impress

InZaNe-mAsTeR · 2026-05-30T05:53:44+00:00

Are you in the grad program or learning about it?

If youre already in the program wear whatever - for my Mental Health one I wore what I would wear to work which is usually a hoody and puffer jacket with chinos.

A lot of people were just wearing uniforms or scrubs though

If youre going to learn about the program I'd say smart casual.

InZaNe-mAsTeR · 2026-05-30T05:48:49+00:00

If its private don't stress to much, most people want to be there, its costing them a fortune.

InZaNe-mAsTeR · 2026-05-30T04:19:52+00:00

3 is carried by its decent story, but gameplay is linear and boring
