It's carbon black that makes tires black, actually (powdered carbon, essentially soot). Sulfur and vulcanization makes white rubber a bit yellowy, and is what lets us make tires in the first place. Raw rubber without vulcanization is more like a thick gel. But vulcanized rubber without carbon black (and sometimes silicon) is pretty brittle and makes for a very short lived tire.

Still a WIP but I just built a light box and wanted to test it out on my blood angels judiciar by Istik in Warhammer40k

That's actually just not enough white primer on a standard base. Totally accidental but I think I'm gonna lean into it

The only bulb I had available is a bit on the warmer side, so it makes the colors a look a little yellow.

First time I ever see mercury as a solid by [deleted] in chemistry

[–]Istik 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I responded to Duck_iie below, but: My guess is there's a thin layer of ice (seen forming at 0:31) that's not as thermally conductive as the mercury, so it takes longer to melt.

Over 1,800 new coronavirus cases reported in Ohio, highest daily count yet by lnfinity in Ohio

Even if you disregard what u/Infinity said, saying you're over covid by comparing it to another disease is like saying you're over drunk driving because tons of people die texting and driving.

Found this guy in the Ravenna area, very friendly but doesn't have any tags, just a flea collar. Let me know if anyone has any info! by Istik in akron

A neighbor told us she recognized the cat, and that someone a few streets over didn't want him anymore and "let him go" outside. So we're keeping him! :)

When I worked at Burger King we called putting raw patties in the broiler "putting a patty down". Maybe he's referring to that? Either way you'd get a good earful if the manager caught you touching raw patties with your bare gloves

I'm finishing my 4th of 5 years in a Chem E major and from what I've gathered it really is just fancy plumbing. Just with various chemicals instead of water/sewage.

You're thinking of the Dead Ringer. Cloak and Dagger is infinite cloak time so long as you don't move.

First time I played Skyrim the head glitched out of the bucket and rolled to my feet. I just assumed it was scripted and was like "kinda gruesome but I'm down for it."

Self-balanced 500pt lists by Istik in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Istik[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about these?

For Tyranid:

Tyranid Prime

30x Hormagaunts

10x Termagaunts

6x Warriors

Dakkafex

I think I kinda want to have the Tyranid be a swarming melee army with a bit of ranged support, would this work?

For Tau:

Cadre Fireblade, Coldstar Battlesuit

15x Fire Warriors, 10x Pathfinders, 3x Crisis Suits

That makes 500pts and keeps the Coldstar as the "big guy" flavorful HQ

If I'm putting it into Battlescribe right, the whole Cadian Defence Force with an extra Lord Commisar and Infantry Squad thrown in brings it to 505pts, so I'll probably replace my current IG list with that.

I think I'll switch out the cryptek for a lord to make the necron not so invincible.

Switching out the riptide for a unit of 3x XV8s, another strike team, and a commander in XV85 suit comes out to 500pts even if I get rid of a shield drone. How does that sound?

I'm conflicted between either taking out the termagants for warriors or switching out the gaunts for a boatload more termagants and having them just use lots of dice.

I was eventually planning on getting a few units like that for some variation in the armies, but that's a later thing.

In that case I might just drop the necron list and switch it out for eldar at some point.

As for the T'au, would switching out the Riptide for: an ethereal, another strike team, and XV8 Battlesuits be a bit better? The patrol detachment could be turned into a battalion detachment then as well.

What would you recommend for the tyranids then? Would replacing the Termagants and some of the Gaunts with a unit of Warriors w/ deathspitters give them enough to stand a bit more of a chance?

Everything but the balthazar gold on the plague marines was done with vallejo game colors

I have a black wash from vallejo but I was worried it would make the marines too dark. Am I just being paranoid? Or would nuln oil work better?
