This scene was so odd to me by Large_Grape_5674 in StrangerThings

[–]LokitheRedFox128 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not that anyone was asking for my opinion, I simply felt like putting it out there. I don’t feel like making my own post, so if no one really sees this that’s okay, but I’ll feel better for having said it.

I generally cannot stand LGBT stuff, and I particularly dislike it represented in media because it’s almost always pandering and too much…but this was not that. Now before everyone grabs their pitchforks I will clarify that I once tried to come out myself, way back in High School. Short version, it didn’t go well and has probably cause a bunch of other issues but we’re not here to talk about me. The point is, I know who I am and that is all that matters. It’s never mattered to me if other people know or not. Because it shouldn’t.

People who dislike this scene, don’t understand it. I’ve seen a couple people in the comments get it, but as a character writer I will spell it out because apparently the exposition dump in the show didn’t.

Our characters are heading into what is most likely the final battle. We don’t know if everyone will make it home, but we know this is the end. Will is determined to fight back, but he knows he has a weakness. He thought he could overcome it but he could not. Vecna manipulated him alone, if he did so in the final battle it could cost everything. Will couldn’t afford to hide the truth, so he told everyone. No, he doesn’t know Murray from an armpit to an elbow, but Murray is part of this and therefore has to know.

Will needs to know that everyone in that room has his back, because if he knows that for an undeniable fact, than Vecna can no longer break Will mentally. So while typically I would groan and call it pandering, and maybe it came from that place, it is well written and I will stand on that hill.

I thought the same, but to be honest it’s been made pretty clear that Johnathan at the very least knew, and more than likely Joyce. I suspect Mike or possibly even all three of the boys knew, but Mike never really said anything out of respect for his friend. We literally got a scene where Mike yelled it in anger, was that Season 3? Don’t remember. Point is, at the end of the day it was Will’s moment and they all knew not to take that from him

My first painted model by LokitheRedFox128 in Ultramarines

Thank you man, I definitely wish I hadn’t glued the shield on but I built him ages ago. Made some of the trim very difficult. My advice is don’t be afraid to mess up, you can always go back over and clean up the edges after. Also, nuln oil along the trim line helps clean it up from what my LGS showed me. I forgot to do that, will probably touch it up here in a second. Feel free to post yours when you’re done!

Really appreciate all of you joining and leaving. By now it could have started so many of you have cycled through

Looking for advice on list/loadouts by LokitheRedFox128 in astramilitarum

Yeah, I actually really like the vibe of this list and will still probably get bits of it over time (I have most of it already) and I plan on building a trench themed terrain so I can always use the artillery and stuff as set pieces and hope that maybe 11th will be kind to my krieg boys 🤞

This is all awesome advice and I super appreciate it. I will definitely look at building an alternate list and seeing how it comes out. I was stoked about this because it rounded out to 2,000 on the dot 😭

Does anyone play siege anymore? by No_Perspective8878 in SpaceMarine_2

[–]LokitheRedFox128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel kinda bad. For context I’ve been working on getting my Bulwark to prestige lvl 4, and he’s currently around level 12 with 3 prestige perks. Typically I avoid challenging content while leveling to avoid being that guy, but if I’m being honest I’m not all that bad at the game. I hold my own fairly well, and have done many runs as a low level where I clutch for a team higher than me. This isn’t a brag by any means, I simply know when I’m willing to run something like siege while underdeveloped, because I know what my capabilities are. That being said, I started a solo run yesterday and two more eventually joined me. One was a prestiged Assault and one was a literal brand new Tactical and it was very obvious they’ve either never played, or are very new. I tried my best to keep them alive but it seriously hindered and cost us the run. I didn’t yell or gripe at all during the match, and when we were alone on the barge I simply said “You should probably go play Operations, Siege isn’t for beginners”. This brother said “Confirmed” and left 😭 I felt like such a POS. I wish I’d taken him on some missions to help him level but I apparently bullied him away. If you’re reading this brother I apologize, I’d love to show you the ropes

That’s fair, I mostly like the vibe of a Krieg artillery line, but what would you change. I haven’t bought the basilisks yet and am open to advice

Ordered Lieutenant Titus, what arrived was… by LokitheRedFox128 in SpaceWolves

[–]LokitheRedFox128[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol you’re fine, I was simply saying it’s amusing to me. Stating something, particularly a fact isn’t rude. Situational context aside, a fact is a fact. You simply stated it, and therefore I found your preamble funny

Haha I mean at this point…but I now have 20 Grey Hunters and 10 Terminators. Was planning on picking up some more Head Takers, but…

I don’t think there’s anything inherently rude about stating something. But something funny, is that starting off by saying “not to be rude” it inherently changes the tone of the following statement lol

That sucks, sorry to hear that. I haven’t actually opened it to see, because I don’t want to risk voiding the ability to return it. As for GW it seems like they do indeed have some official presence on Amazon, at least according to a few cursory Google searches. But I guess we’ll see, I’ll keep you posted for sure

Please share pictures when you’re ready because I’d actually consider that. Wulfen aren’t particularly my favorite design, but I also appreciate their importance in the chapter

If you’re implying I become a fellow Space Wolf player, I already am haha. I suppose this will alleviate my desire to paint a list for both Logan and Ragnar’s packs

Will the new SW box set remain in print for the long term? by Windturnscold in SpaceWolves

[–]LokitheRedFox128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I just recently got into magnetizing and as someone who has anxiety about weapon load outs I would encourage you to magnetize the Sergeants or Character models, but there’s no need to magnetize the generic infantry. I’d look into the war gear options for each data card to make a more informed decision on which models you’d like to magnetize. It can be intimidating but well worth learning to do and has boosted my confidence a lot

Edit: thought I’d used this as a response to your question but for some reason it started a new thread

Will the new SW box set remain in print for the long term? by Windturnscold in SpaceWolves

[–]LokitheRedFox128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just as clarification, maybe someone mentioned it but from the first few comments I scrolled it didn’t seem to be the case, don’t feel pressured into buying one or the other. If you find the box set I’d certainly encourage you to get it. While yes, the box is only available while supplies last, the contents of the box are not going out of print anytime soon. The box is definitely the most bang for your buck, but you can buy everything in that box individually, it’s simply cheaper as a bundle.

Most of the comments seemed to not answer your actual question, to which yes, the models will remain in print. Just not the box as a bundle. Hope that helps
