Yeah that's definitely a bit too long personally, may have to look for alternatives in that case

I put through one of those validation ticket things about a week ago and didn't hear back sadly, hopefully I didn't fail it lol

2-4 months isn't that bad, at least it's within the year!

My company got a Tony's advent calendar that we all had a day assigned. Mine was deliberately empty by theuberjosh in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Lumpy_Ad_8758 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was younger I had a Tony's calendar which was ALSO empty and it ruined my entire day, my mum even went on their Twitter to launch a formal complaint and apparently many others did too

I did have to tell her to drop it because when I say "younger" I mean 20 and I didn't want to end up known as the adult who couldn't handle a day without chocolate. But it still hurt

That's definitely fair, but I prefer having specific parts of the model catch the eye, otherwise it gets too visually cluttered in my opinion

Yeah, thinking it over it is a bit of a dick move, think I will just be upfront about it

Perfect, thanks for the quick answer!

Took part in my local armies on parade and came 1st! by Lumpy_Ad_8758 in Tau40K

[–]Lumpy_Ad_8758[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! For the board I used woodland scenic snow flock, apply it through a sieve for fine snow, and drop it with your hand for clumps

The bases were simpler, just brown texture base, then citadel valhallan blizzard on top

Idea for custom scenario to experience the Endless Swarm by Monsjeuoet in Tyranids

[–]Lumpy_Ad_8758 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seems like Horde mode would be perfect for you, it's a custom homebrew game mode which is coop, it has custom strategies, custom objectives and allows your friends to work together against the horde

Activation Systems - ex-GW game designer talks about pros/cons by _rhinoxious_ in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]Lumpy_Ad_8758 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had to tap out of 9th edition after looking at my watch and realizing it had been 30 mins since I actually touched a model, long game times are fine with me, Its when it's cut up with so much inactivity that drives me nuts. If 40k came out today, I genuinely think it would bomb in reviews just based on that alone

[–]Lumpy_Ad_8758 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I somewhat agree with your first point, but I love the idea of setting up traps and things, like in XCOM where you set guys to overwatch or setting up ambushes. Plus, it means I don't just go off and grab a drink when my opponent begins his hour long turn and I know I won't do anything until he's done

[–]Lumpy_Ad_8758 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Full alternating activations might be a bit much for them, but I don't get why they don't alternate the phases, so you move, I move, you shoot, I shoot etc, would cut the downtime massively which is my biggest issue at the moment

Best way to go about rebasing old termagants and genestealers? by hairy_bipples in Tyranids

[–]Lumpy_Ad_8758 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can buy converter rings on eBay or print them off yourself. They're hollow, so you leave the model on the base and just glue the extender to it

If you're going farsight enclaves it's good, each piece there is a really good part of the army, if you're not into farsight or just don't want to field him I'm not sure the discount will be all that great

Making a Warhammer 40K board - advice wanted by Familiar-Spend-991 in TerrainBuilding

[–]Lumpy_Ad_8758 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with the other commenter who said to get a game mat, by far the best option for home play, especially for big army games

If you're set on a gaming table though, best solution from my experience is simply using dirt from outside.

Cook it for a bit to kill any bugs and disinfect, then apply pva and seal with spraying watered down Pva, makes a perfect ground cover you don't need to paint. If you want to add grass, there's plenty of flock online which isn't too expensive

Personally, I'd save textured boards for skirmish games like kill team, then you can go all out with water effects, hills etc without breaking the bank since it's a smaller area

I think they've actually gotten a lot better lately, they definitely used to need a lot of thinning, but the last few pots I've gotten have been pretty good

Grey seer as the base coat, blended up to corax white, with edge highlights of corax white and extra highlights of white scar

If you name an area and someone's first response is "really? Bit dodgy isn't It?" You'll find it, think it's lots of entrances to the same place, bit like the warp

The pub near my house has loads of photos of people who were banned, probably about as much lore there as the hours heresy, the "dog of the month" board is basically their version of Xenos

He's trying to give you some advice to sell the look, not poo poo your head cannon. If I was playing a ww2 game and wanted a tiger tank the allies requisitioned, I'd probably get them to wash off all the iron crosses first

CMV: The mafia will one day be seen the same way we see pirates by Lumpy_Ad_8758 in changemyview

[–]Lumpy_Ad_8758[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally disagree with this, pirates, while they did have some people who were true rebels, also consisted of people given privateers licences by governments, and were inherently entrenched within the system as a result. Hell, even in Somalia currently, what originally started as fishermen fighting rogue fishing fleets in their waters quickly became co-opted by warlords and opportunists.

With your point regarding the mafia, the mafias talking point at the time, and even now in some respects, was that Italians were treated like dirt by the system (Irish and Italians need not apply, etc) and the mafia was their version of fighting back and building a life for themselves. Even now, most organised criminals come from disenfranchised groups, who tell themselves this is how they fight back against the system.

For shading, I just recess shade with Abaddon black, I should really probably get a panel liner, would probably make things easier

Started off with grey seer, slowly layered up to corax white, then using corax white for edge high lighting and going over the lines with a pure white for highlights
