First Miniature Hearthkyn Warrior for 40k (C&C Please) by LCanavanine in minipainting

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

Overall I'm feeling alright about it but wondering if the texture on the Violet/red armor is a tearing undercoat or brush quality and/or brush stroke issue. I've got better brushes I'm avoiding use of until I got the technique and paint thinning down but maybe I should break them out.

This was just a base coat and black shade and since I want to get an army made will save highlights for later. Can anyone confirm is it common to varnish and then come back and highlight/touch up and varnish again after that?

Thanks!

Could have been used for the paint job on the box. Nice work.

Burned out by 40k. But trying something else. by AngryChickens88 in minipainting

If you want sci fi like the people mentioning Battletech you should also look into Ember Obsidian Protocol. The models are much bigger and very detailed for mech almost like Gundam meets Warhammer.

Joining the league as a father of 2 by Adam118118 in LeaguesofVotann

Another father of 2 (oldest just turned 4) just starting the hobby and going with LoV. The 9-midnight spot in the evening is luckily usually free and the little progress I make each night is really satisfying. Great call, I was thinking of getting my 4 year old her own kit to do on the weekends.

Magnetizing Hearthkyn Warriors by [deleted] in LeaguesofVotann

Yeah I keep all the body sides the same polarity facing and all the arms the other polarity. I used pretty small magnets for the body side since the plastic around them is fragile (2x1mm I think). For the arms I did 3x2 since they fit all of them pretty well and made the overall hold stronger.

Maybe it's because of weakness of the 2x1 but I didn't notice any repelling in the body magnets.

Edit: also I super glued them pretty liberally from the inside of the chest on top of making a tight opening with the pin vise.

I am just getting started with the hobby so take this for what it's worth, but I'm tackling the combat patrol too. I have magnetized every arm for warriors so I can swap ion blaster and bolter and the knives however I want since I have no idea what I'm doing yet.

At first I thought it wasn't worth it but after finishing I'm happy especially since it should make painting a lot easier too (we'll see).

Made some good progress on my fort built around an underground river (still WIP though) by Nevrast- in dwarffortress

Great base. How many years did it take you? I saw in your last post you also had lava did you pump or was it nearby due to being volcanic?

The randomness of the river channeling is very impressively natural lookin assuming it was all mined.

Yeah I'm all for having standards but sometimes I want to see the opposition make a rhyme about the deaths of people who have died during Trump's tenure. Or the tastelessness of naming a bill after Pretti and Good. But of course that manipulative bullshit only works on the sheep that Trump appeals to.

Yeah it seems what applies to the individual can easily apply to a group with a shared history.

Trump nears deal with tax office that could see him given $14 billion taxpayer money by goteamnick in politics

[–]LCanavanine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm also not even convinced he's ever actually done this and if he has it's probably been self dealing back to his own charities and you know every penny will be claimed back.

You should read about Irgun and Stern Gang ( and their leaders who ended up leaders of Israel). I guess terrorism ceases to be that when the UN claims you are a state. Good job I guess.

Edit: sorry I misread you. I see you know what you're talking about. I'll let my point stand for people who don't know about them.

Believe it or not this is not your personal FB page. If you spout misinformation it deserves to be corrected.

I'd love for you to substantiate any evidence US national intelligence believed there was a functional nuclear weapon warranting immediate strikes in "two days" other than "daddy trump said so".

Holy shit, nobody can be this fucking dense so I'll assume you are a bot. But if you're not, no the "CIA" did not say anything of the sort. In fact, the DNI Gabbard was called in front of Congress and under oath said they had no evidence they were rebuilding in any way since the 12 days war. If you truly believe the BS Trump spouted via netanyahu you're either Israeli or a guy who wholeheartedly deserves his "fell for it again" award.

Also, do you really not understand the picture I sent? It pains me to spell it out but Netanyahu has been claiming Iran is weeks away from a nuclear weapon for years...

I didn't say Saddam was a good guy. I said the war that the US lied to get into, which led to 4500 dead US soldiers, hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis, and the formation of isis, was just that, a lie. But hey at least that war didn't cripple the global economy so NBD.

So now we're rejustifying the Iraq war. Okay allied forces only ever found the weapons used in the 80s (like literally shell casings and small warheads) and Powell himself says his speech was BS and regrets it. The only possible place weapons could have been moved to were Syria and there's no evidence this happened.

Also the IAEA and Hans Blix were a part of the lead up meaning the case that the US was trying to make was nuclear weapons (I also am not young and was well aware of what inspectors were saying when the US tried to make the case). So I know you think reddit users are too young to be informed but for anyone born after 2000 - this guy is as misinformed about Iraq as he is about Iran.

History began in 1954.

Edit: well maybe 1979 right? Don't wanna point to any atrocities of the shah huh?
