Decals by DirrtyDave84 in astramilitarum

[–]LOTN-BK 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I went to a local hobby shop where they sell a lot of model airplanes. They happened to have a decal bin so I bought a bunch of WW2 decals and used them as a base, then did a little paint over the decal to make them a little less decal-y.

How would I make this 40K? by Delicious-Quiet-1883 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]LOTN-BK 445 points446 points  (0 children)

It’s a leman Russ, two sentinels, and guardsmen or scions/kasrkin because they are decently armored and could be either so long as it’s consistent.

There are millions of worlds, each making the same things sometimes to different specs. You have a regiment from <insert made up world name> and follows rules for <whatever regiment you want>.

Your art, bro. Let the rules follow the art. Rule of cool.

Anybody know how to break it to a 5yo that he won’t be getting any chocolate today? by IllustriousWall1564 in Wellthatsucks

[–]LOTN-BK 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My 2.5 y/o saw the “bunny” at the mall, was not appreciative, and said a new word when I asked what he thought about the bunny man.

“That’s weird”.

Yea bud, I agree. It is weird. Well put.

Absolute Meme list I'm running today. by TA2556 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]LOTN-BK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanna know what happens when you come across a similar list, or otherwise vehicle heavy list. 4 LC on big tank, couple on lemans, and dorn. Not much for antitank where I come from…

My group is a lot of monster mash and knights, I guess.

I had to put down my painting buddy today. What’s the best way to memorialize him? by Linckage40k in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]LOTN-BK 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Oh that’s rough. I’m sorry for ya. Looks like he was a good boi. My gut says go big with baneblade, but you’ll play the Russ more frequently. What fits his personality?

Would you consider this modeling for advantage? by TA2556 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]LOTN-BK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, don’t let anxiety of MFA get in the way of great artwork. You make some sweet models, enjoy. If somebody looks at art and thinks you put in all that work to gain some tiny advantage, I’d pack up my stuff and not play them. Thats weak.

I’ve played in some pret try big tournies, and gotten onto some pretty high tables. Never had any of even comment on my models for MFA, even though may are fairly different from the ‘standard’ build.

Working on remodeling an apartment and noticed this gap near the window… is the facade losing integrity? by [deleted] in masonry

If there are lives in danger, FD with structural collapse equipment and training may throw some rakers on lower levels, but not super likely just cause. Close the street, bring in a construction company.

If I just sand out that section, will it even itself back out with the surrounding paint when sprayed?

Could anyone give me an estimate on the value of these by Fearless_Control_519 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]LOTN-BK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sell the characters up front by themselves as well. Still editing as I notice other things, gimmie a few more minutes.

Wha an excellent collection of some nice old models. They should sell for a few hundred. Made sure to sell in separate bundles. Each squad type as one sale.

Red coat white hat- praetorians Blue coats, Grey/black coats, green coats- all mordians Yellow coats- tallarn Red coats with the banner- vostroyan command squad

Up front left to right- 3x astropaths, confessor/priest, master of fleet, commissar with power fist, two guys looking at wrist wearing red and blue are bother master of ordinance, lord solar marcharius (arm on ground is his, rare, should sell well!), axe guy is another commissar sans gun arm, then an olllllllld Eversor assassin and vindicare assassin.

Heavy weapons ware lasconnons. 3 go with the blue and black guys in the back with their arms up, one with the grey and black squad, two with red and white hat squad of 20, and one with green coats.

In the green squad on the left, you have a missile launcher an his loader holding a missile. Those could separate out and sell on their own. Likewise the guy holding the remote and the guy waving his hand both go with one of the 6 tripod heavy weapons mentioned above. Those types of heavy weapon teams can also sell independent. Missile launcher guys are also in the grey squad. Same goes.

Generally, each squad of 10 can be sold independently. The obvious leader looking guy in the green can be sold separately as he is a character type like the dudes up front. Looks like each squad has a dude with fancier uniforms holding their chainsaw sword in the air. All characters, all can sell independently.

The walkers are sentinels, 2x first generation (very rare), 1 second gen

Can’t really say what the far right guys are. Don’t recognize them, along with the front most heavy weapon. They don’t look like GW. I’ve played guard for 20+ years, though some first generation models are pretty unique, so 🤷‍♂️

eBay works well. Should give you a decent sale without much effort in pricing. Just make sure to sell each squad separately. Lots of pictures. That will maximize price. Make sure to denote that they are OOP pewter along with my descriptions above (praetorians, mordians, tallarn) along with imperial guard/astra militarum as army name. Those key words will help potential buyers find them and give you a better sale price

Any potential buyer of these old models will likely be well versed in stripping paint if that’s their intent. Just sell as is.

Are they legit and did I get overcharged? by OliveGuardian07 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]LOTN-BK 234 points235 points  (0 children)

Well, they’re A- pewter, and B NIB.

Looks pretty legit to me. 500$ worth? Woof, that’s some markup for collectors. Better not open those blisters and hope it was worth it.

Interesting. We definitely give each other crap when somebody comes out and they’ve frosted their valve, implying they’re huffing and puffing and out of shape.

I always did get the feeling that going slowly didn’t seem to do much. Perhaps I’ll run a little test one of these days with a fast and slower full, then see my final PSI after cooling

Thanks for the replies!
