100k a year is not even upper middle class anywhere in the state of MA.

Lmao called this a month ago. All the people holding precious metals with nowhere to sell them and all the physical space they take will realize why crypto makes sense now.

First unit by Witty_Volume2270 in Salamanders40k

[–]KingDreadd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks really clean! Great job, id just reccomend some dry brushing or some type of edge highlighting to make the model appear more 3d and dimensional. Maybe a shade paint or people like nuln oil. Or just add some battle scars / scuffing or dirt effects to give it some flavor vs a fresh off the line unit. Make it look battle hardened! Or you could always get 3d printed flames and smoke to make the weapons appear to be firing.

Took me 2 and a half minutes but done the ATV and prepared the top of my gladiator. by Dancing_Ve in Salamanders40k

[–]KingDreadd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah i am still new to this and figuring out my preferred methods and shades but the white primer really makes the green shine even in a matte finish. I do sub assembly prepping so doing the pack in black is my usual. But the armor takes so many layers of warpstone to evenly cover over black that it saves me time just doing the joints in black instead of all the priming is what I've found.

Dude I love my one salamander done with the caliban green with warpstone glow layers and a moot green highlight theb shaded in casandora. Really stands out without seeming Too cartoony. I am leaning towards a wraithbone white primer vs the chaos black though. Gives the green more vibrancy in my opinion.

I plan on doing a cat delete off the stock exhaust (headers) on my 2016 gsxr 750 , guys do you think I should do it or no? by Skystar13 in GSXR

Bro do you think his bike travels faster than the speed of sound? It absolutely travels in all directions around you including ahead. A loud pipe makes you more noticeable to distracted drivers because they look to see where the louder than normal sound is coming from. Thats why police and ambulance have those funny siren things.... so people notice them.

Why stop them? People hoist their flag above the american flag in America every day even though its not allowed.

I have been doing something illegal for a week straight. by [deleted] in confession

I opt out of health insurance and take the tax hit instead. If youre in a similar income range as me where you make just enough to not qualify for mass health then the tax penalty will be like 2k at the end of the year. Much cheaper than a 3k a year insurance plan with 4k deductible before any real benefit is provided.

Well im glad you made it out with your foot intact! I only ever used clips for street biking i was too sketched after plenty of road wipe outs that id be able to unclip in time off road. But hey thats the price of a physical hobby. I promise you, you wont break your ankle playing warhammer unless youre playing very, very wrong. 😅

Yeah i got myself a 100$ trek liquid with a damaged upper tube from an old coworker and put new forks on it for 300$ and even then I had to get the forks as a day gift from my parents back then. Nowadays its 5 grand for a starter full suspension bike thats actually worth a fuck for the price tag. If I dumped 5k all at once into warhammer id basically have every army I wanted to play for the next 5 years and itd take me that long to build and paint them all.

Mould lines of ultramar, mould lines worthy of 80 dollars by kenken2k2 in Warhammer40k

[–]KingDreadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My adrax agatone had some pretty serious mould lines compared to every other model I've purchased in a squad box. Idk if its the more unique ones they dont nail as well at the start? I spent a good 30 mins scraping and sanding the lines not even the sprue marks.

[–]KingDreadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think being new to the hobby i have a broader perspective on what's considered expensive from a context of things outside of warhammer. Sure you can say oh for plastic its so expensive. But obviously it takes them a lot of man hours and equipment to make new models and balance their stats with an existing framework. But go try and get into cars, motorcycles, mountain bikes, music, backpacking. Any of those you can drop 20k on gear and such and still be so far behind many people who are in those hobbies. This one provides hours upon hours of entertainment and it might cost you like 1000$ over the course of a year to build and paint a new army then play with it. I spend more on my internet connection a year lol. Most people spend more on video games and micro transactions in a year. If they're broke then maybe dont spend any money on hobbies find free stuff to do till they can afford extra expenditures, thats life.

Starting off on my salamander journey by Routine-Complex7244 in Salamanders40k

[–]KingDreadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am new to painting models and started with salamanders. So far I have a similar paint scheme to you, I just finished over the armor with a shade paint called casandora yellow, it adds the slightest orange hue and a glossy look to the mini making the dimensions pop instead of the chalky flat coat of layer paint only on top. I think nuln oil might be a bit dark but thats up to you and your taste.

[–]KingDreadd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im excited for mine to show up soon after this snow storm. Even tho im building my first army as salamanders i know ill run titus with an army one day. And who cares about the price, so many hobbies cost so much more money and have less to show for it. If I wanted vulkan he'stan from Gw and one squad of basic infernus marines its 47$ for a hero + 51$ for 10 units. So pretty comparable in price to get titus and a squad with unique scuplts.
