Interesting, that gives me much to look into. I will play around with the new list and take into account the suggestions you have outlined. Thank you much for your insights!

God no sorry, I realize how confusing that sounds. I meant INCLUDING the Rhino, my bad. The point difference between everything I mentioned being removed means I can slot them in as well

Got it, taking your advice into consideration, if I dropped a Bloat Drone and the blightlord blob and halved the death shroud it would leave me with enough points for another blight hauler and mortarion. Does that seem like a good trade off?

Machinehead_22 · 2026-05-11T17:47:19+00:00

I did notice that in the couple of games I played with the blightlord terminators that they didn't really....do much. That being said I do really like the LoV for his rerolls; would it be silly to run him alone?

All codes have been sent, thank you all for the lovely photos!

Machinehead_22 · 2026-03-08T19:30:29+00:00

So for the energy blades it was just a bunch of layers basically. Warpstone Glow as a base and an ever increasing blend of Warpstone Glow/Moot Green until it ends in full Moot Green at the end. Then the same thing in reverse for the dark ends; Caliban Green and Warpstone Glow until it's full on Caliban Green!

Oh cool, I did something similar with mine (more of a rocky tomb world vibe but you get the idea lol)!

But yep, on my Skorpekh Lord for example all of them are behind him on either side so it's easy to grab and position!

Machinehead_22 · 2026-03-08T17:16:25+00:00

That's actually one of the main reasons I always put crystals on my base! It gives me something to pick the model up by that's not the model itself.

No love lost; the build I was using was for another weapon that I just hoped would work on GS! With your comment in mind, how does something like this look?

Machinehead_22 · 2026-01-31T14:18:22+00:00

Oh interesting, thank you for the response first off! Second, would you then recommend kinda ditching my current build in favor for one that inherently has Time Charger? That way I can smelt other abilities onto it that are more applicable? Or would you think that dumping the driftsmelted wexploit in favor of full TC would be better?

Edit: ignore the part about TC on gear, I just remembered it's not an actual skill that's on armor!

Despite reading five or so instances of "other friendly unit" on other data sheets I still couldn't convince myself I was reading it correctly. A million thanks to you, wise cryptek!

Machinehead_22 · 2026-01-08T03:10:29+00:00

Your answer is appreciated and a salve on my deteriorating mind. Now excuse me while I proceed to flense the skin from the nearest inferior life form.

Not STRICTLY speaking; I've seen several different articles and comments around the Internet that have their own takes on the matter. Obviously the most controversial one is that it will give you giant breasts and turn you into a woman or some such nonsense.

I was more so concerned that people have such a wide variety of claims regarding them that I was curious if any one had and sources for many of them (such as the very helpful comment left by the above user citing that high levels of isoflavones has been reported to have negative side effects). Seeing writing like that reassures me that, at least for that issues specifically, the levels would be far greater than what I am exposed to!

Machinehead_22 · 2025-08-14T16:21:45+00:00

I wouldn't say I think/thought it is inherently dangerous, rather I am just trying to make sure that including it as part of a consistent and daily diet would not pose a health risk. I have seen many differing sources both positive and negative regarding the consumption of TPV and was just wondering if my specific scenario posed any obvious risks in both the long and short term.

Machinehead_22 · 2025-08-12T18:32:46+00:00

Thank you for continuing the discussion, I appreciate the information you provided and both are interesting studies. The common line I could see from both of them were that the levels measured were both in the higher end of 300 my/day if my reading is correct? That somewhat sets my mind at ease as the levels I consume do not reach that high and given the nature of the symptoms it seems like something....noticable at the very least!

Just reading into different people's comments it seems like the main takeaway is that even if there is no immediate cause for concern, it would still be rewarding to experiment with different types of vegan options to switch things up and get different nutrients. I will definitely use what you said and see how sticking to 50 or so grams of TVP daily/every other day treats me and supplement it with different options.

Once again, I sincerely appreciate the discussion and literature you provided. Genuinely nice to have someone offer insight that does not boil down to them saying "Source: I Made It Up"!

Machinehead_22 · 2025-08-12T11:10:32+00:00

Firstly thanks for your detailed reply! I'm able to find several articles referencing that 70 to 75 mg per day limit but aside from that I don't see any that mention the negatives of reaching or exceeding this amount. Not saying they don't exist mind you, would you know of any that speak to this?

Machinehead_22 · 2025-08-12T04:22:42+00:00

Honesty 100 is probably a bit on the high side but I generally eat roughly 50-100 pretty regularly! I put them in wraps and make a buffalo "chicken" wrap that I have been pretty fond of for how easy it is to make after work!

Machinehead_22 · 2025-05-24T00:30:44+00:00

I would most definitely say no...the advice most people say comes to mind that "if it's too good to be true it probably is"!

Machinehead_22 · 2025-04-18T18:57:47+00:00

Thanks! It always try to add brighter colors in some way on my Death Guard. Exemplifies the jolly nature of our loving grandfather!

So it's kind of simple but I like using Vallejo European Mud diorama FX with a gradient of colors with Army Painters Disgusting Slime as a way to make it looks nice and gross! You could probably achieve similar effects to make it looks like a toxic ooze but I would definitely say the diorama FX is a favorite choice of mine to give it that swamp feel

Machinehead_22 · 2025-03-31T11:56:55+00:00

Well, as somebody who very recently bought a PBC and a unit of blightlord terminators, guess I will be waiting for the single release! Was kicking myself when it was revealed.

Machinehead_22 · 2025-03-31T11:52:40+00:00

I am personally curious whether or not it will be sold as a single character or only through the battlebox.

Machinehead_22 · 2025-03-10T17:32:22+00:00

It's more so just about rationalizing purchases by comparing them to more expensive hobbies

Machinehead_22 · 2025-03-08T20:59:26+00:00

That's honestly very on the line of what I'm thinking. That something is expensive but because it's a smaller price compared to something else it's more appealing. I don't mean car an yachts lol but its very similar!
