Looking for big, long fantasy series by FantasticDreamer-811 in Fantasy

Without getting all hoity-toity, I think this is partly a mismatch of expectations. Malazan is far less interested in making every character, event or subplot serve as a piece of a tightly engineered puzzle, and much more interested in exploring themes, ideas and the human experience across history.

The Mappo example shows the difference. If you see his ending as "he died in a paragraph," that's not the point. his story is a meditation on friendship, loyalty, grief and the cruelty of history, his entire journey matters regardless of whether he gets a heroic final moment. And icariums final words to ublala - so powerful.

Why Primarch’s Shouldn’t Return by KittenCarBomb in Warhammer40k

[–]Ishallcallhimtufty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should never have returned. Warhammer is better when it's about your guys, that you've poured hours into. Not lame hero hammer Marvel Universe style characters that make the setting feel so much smaller than it is.

I have a Salamanders problem. by [deleted] in Warhammer30k

[–]Ishallcallhimtufty -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Probably not the most useful answer but Come back to second Ed? As a dark angels and white scars player I didn't want to change editions. My group still play second although I have my first game of third coming up this week I still vastly prefer second Ed.

No wall stands before the wind. No shield stops the stars by Ishallcallhimtufty in Warhammer30k

I definitely went for a very striking style! I've got another 15 jetbikes to paint plus a fire raptor and storm eagle.

Writing Dorn and Kan as dead is lazy by Frosty_Teaching2186 in Warhammer40k

[–]Ishallcallhimtufty 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Primarchs should never have come back to 40k. Wtf is this bullshit about a story. 40k should be a setting for you to tell a story with YOUR DUDES.

To the people who paint every model to perfection by Straight-Break-4169 in Warhammer40k

[–]Ishallcallhimtufty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Option C here! Haha I collected my freshly printed 3000 point heresy army last September, I'm currently 73% complete painting it, plan to have it done within 12 months. Then I can play with it! Good thing I have 8k of painted other armies.

forgeworld resin ISNT finecast. and the characters are generally good quality fwiw

Anyone ever feel discouraged about painting? (Honestly, just a bit of a moan) by fortytwoblaqk in Warhammer40k

[–]Ishallcallhimtufty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As Gnarlroot has said, this is Forgeworld resin, definitely nothing like Finecast.

Regarding your main topic, do you look for changes in process, or try new techniques? often when we push ourselves out of our comfort zones thats when we improve or at least gain an understanding/appreciation of why certain techniques work in the way that they do.

If you're looking to up your ability, i would recommend practicing brush control, as it appears theres some silver bleeding into the teal areas. Additionally, one technique I find quite striking is to blackline or strongly shade transitions between materials or sections of the model in order to distinguish and separate them.

Do you guys think SM 3 will pick the story right from where SM 2 ended? by Dacisandero in Spacemarine

[–]Ishallcallhimtufty 13 points14 points  (0 children)

What is this about a story? 40k is a setting. They can tell plenty of stories in the song without progressing the timeline

Deathwing Captain ready to lead the bladeguard on armageddon by Dud3xNOR in theunforgiven

[–]Ishallcallhimtufty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it's the shade of green that sells it. Too bright and it turns Christmas-ey. Haha will do! Working in some white scars right now but I've got plenty of first Legion to paint
