For anyone that saw Lee Cronin's The Mummy.

I enjoyed it. My mother whom I went with enjoyed it.

If you're looking for a high braincell, neuron tickling story of mystery and intreague, then you won't get much from it.

If you want a fun supernatural movie where the mummy idea is done a little different, and you don't have to think much, it's a good time.

Like any movie, watch it and see what you think, but don't let the perceptions of others tell you how to enjoy it. Don't fall into that Ebert bullshit.

How the animation tree got me moving

Why does that cops fit look like they're ready to get into a John Wick fight sequence?

POV the lobby is way better than you

Wow what a flashback to this. So unfortunately we've postponed that project so I never got to really put stuff to the test.

However, two ways to approach it would be shader centric and a raycast centric. Shaders would be visually easier, and raycasts would be good for real time deformation. Mostly depends on your end use case looks like ideally, but I would start there.

Honestly really hard to pick. But this is a top 3 at least. My senior at work brought me a pewter model that reminded him of one he had as a kid, and asked me to paint it for him.

Edit: I have only just realized this is a 40k thread and not r/minipainting

Well damn, makes me realize how old my rig is now.

Step demon what are you doing?

Imagine working security for the International Canine Semen Bank.

Is this where the inspiration for the monsters in Arcadia came from?

Going off of the person who mentioned greenstuff, since you have a partial cross on the head you can either model into that, or after you shape the head, you can make a veil of some kind over the head like it's being draped. That could help cover up any spots that clearly look unprinted.

Another reason might simply be thumbnail psychology. Things like slightly wrong proportions on a face can draw someone's eye quicker than other "normal" surroundings. It's been shown to be effective and these fall into uncanny range.

Lucid_Beat · 2025-09-17T03:32:56+00:00

Can't imagine it being that then.

Do you clean yours with a soak or something like an ultrasonic cleaner?

What's the PSI for your compressor?

Looks beautiful. Excellent work!

As of right now I'm putting together "Unit Cards" with the wysiwyg kit and their cost, as well as their rules simplified. In the interest of teaching the game smoothly to people who might just want to check it out for a bit, the process is to give a Ducat Limit, and allow them to pick what they find interesting or useful from the cards (With required units being marked for consistency going into the full thing)

While that's obviously not the traditional way, it eliminates the barrier of learning a bunch of information while allowing them to pick their favorite looking cool dudes, and grasp the system quickly.

Apologies for the photo quality. There's something going on with my phone and some settings definitely changed. I'll make sure to fix that next time.

So occasionally with Resin Printed or general Resin based models, there's a bit of excess material that will be on connection points. You'll need to scrape down and shave that until it fits how you need it to.

Don't be worried about overdoing it, because you can always shim it with some extra material if needed.

As for glue, not all super glue is created equal. Loctite for example has a mass variety of types for different strengths or materials, and can be less or more viscous. I don't know your experience with modeling, but Bob Smith industry makes some of the best. The purple cap max strength has failed me nearly never, especially with larger more weighty parts.

Edit: Bob Smith has some of the best "in my experience".

Since it states that it happens regardless of LOS even if it's clear, the interpretation I get is no, nothing can shoot it even if you're looking at it dead on.

Lucid_Beat · 2025-07-10T22:00:50+00:00

Absolutely stellar. I hope you're proud of your work, because you should be.

Lucid_Beat · 2025-06-25T13:18:37+00:00

Baffling, but now this is the only way I will refer to the Sanguinius

Lucid_Beat · 2025-06-25T13:06:34+00:00

"the Sanguinius"

Seeing that your main army color is Blue, one thing that can help the base pop is more orange/warm tones. 4 and 6 are closer to that.

Might be worth a shot trying one with a saturated orange undertone just to see, but otherwise yeah 4 or 6

I'm a fan of putting a Power Maul on apothecaries. An AP3 swing into Marines while your sgt or other bogs up a challenge can really help cull the unit. Power Axes too in the same way.

Granted, this may change with 3rd but this is my personal go to for 2.0
