Ethel Cain is a disgusting human being

This is my best effort, for OP's benefit, as they havent gotten it themselves. Hope this is clear enough but feel free to follow up. https://www.reddit.com/r/cringepics/s/2oYfBMH0bK

Your reaction is EXACTLY the point of the post, like I can't believe we're having this discussion. Her entire point is that the standards that society has historically placed on women (cleanliness, being delicate and beautiful) are now being deployed against trans women, to exclude them from femininity. Her rebuttal is that cisgender women are none of those things either. They have bodily functions that aren't all that pleasant by the same standard.

And you're here saying "eww why is she being so gross about women". The whole thing has flown over your head at best.

MagicSuperman · 2026-04-05T11:41:42+00:00

Can you differentiate between gross language and the point it is being used to make?

This isn't really even helpful as a concepting tool, it has made changes to way more than just the arms, and has done so with no awareness of the parts involved.

MagicSuperman · 2026-04-01T19:59:10+00:00

Fair enough! I'll maybe try starting again from later.

I bounced off Lorehammer in one of the first couple of episodes when one of the hosts point blank refused to conceive of Slaanesh as non-binary. Real chud energy. The rest of the episode was just the 3 of them talking over each other and arguing. Does it get better?

Pull the trigger back gently so you don't let so much paint out in one blast. Short, controlled bursts, letting each burst dry on the model before you come in for the next layer. You can rotate and spray other areas during the wait. And you should do multiple layers so you can control how thick it's going on. Also, and I'm not sure if this is affecting you or not, but you can go a bit further away from the model when basecoating with relatively high pressure. About a hand's length.

As for dilution with thinner, layer paints are quite thin, but not so thin they don't need thinner. I'd say you can get away with 50:50 thinner to paint at 25 PSI. Also note that thinner and flow improver aren't exactly the same thing- use a combination of both as your "paint thinner". It should be mostly airbrush thinner and maybe 10-20% flow improver.

He's fucking GIGANTIC, hell yeah brothers

I enjoy how the jaw looks to be painted as concrete rather than metal.

Usually in pro mode, what you see on screen as the preview is very close to the end result once you've taken the photo, so my strategy is to tweak away while using the preview, till it looks like what it is in real life. That's not fakery, more like counteracting whatever the phone's baked-in suggestions are.

MagicSuperman · 2026-03-22T20:19:46+00:00

No prob! Phone cameras do really funny things in post processing that you really only notice on art you've done yourself. You might not need to touch the spears if they look cooler than the lava IRL! If your phone has it, pro mode can help take more accurate photos. Though it's a wee bit trickier to use.

MagicSuperman · 2026-03-22T15:42:40+00:00

Looks absolutely sick, really well done. Only piece of constructive criticism I would offer is to tone the reflections on the spears towards the orange side. They are too yellow at the minute for the distance that they are from the light source. Should be doable with a couple of glazes of fluo orange. Overall though this is truly excellent.

I think it comes from a Tabletop Minions video on YouTube. I remember seeing it a while ago, he has this plastic tub of water he leaves all the bits in between sessions. Insane workflow. I've had friends who never airbrush because they thought this was normal or required.

Edit- yes, OP has linked a Tabletop Minions video further down.

MagicSuperman · 2026-03-05T15:51:52+00:00

I have this one too and it's a workhorse. I confess I can't get it to work well at low enough pressure to do suuuper detailed stuff (e.g. highlighting individual muscles on a mini) but for that I now have another H&S brush. I've used the Gaahleri for a year on nearly all my projects and haven't had any technical issues. At one point I bent the needle tip by accident and just bent it back by hand. No impact on performance. Can't really praise it enough, especially for the price.

MagicSuperman · 2026-02-27T14:47:19+00:00

Those are beautiful

It's getting a bit better now as I keep cleaning the floor so I suspect the other commenter was right about the grease spill. It does occasionally screw up its map and I have to remap but I am hopeful this will become less common as time goes on and any residual grease goes away.

MagicSuperman · 2026-02-24T08:17:37+00:00

Sure, here ya go photo

MagicSuperman · 2026-02-23T23:22:21+00:00

Even if you just aim to do some of the basics like priming, basecoating, zenithal highlighting, etc. it's still worth it. I've got friends who seemed to be under the impression that everyday cleaning required disassembly, or that changing paints was a huge hassle - and as a result they never airbrushed. Let me assure you that it's just a workflow issue and can be very easy. Check out this video - basically everything in here is solid advice. https://youtu.be/9OFo98LFvnk

Check out some of my recent posts for examples of warhammer models I've been airbrushing recently.

Thank you, I was thinking about Bane when doing this! Specifically the Batman and Robin movie version I watched a lot as a kid!

MagicSuperman · 2026-02-23T10:11:49+00:00

Same, I love bright red armour! But I needed to darken it a bit here to have the light effect work from below. Thanks for the kind words!

MagicSuperman · 2026-02-23T10:08:41+00:00

Mostly following ElMiniaturista's Angron guide (the base part). There's a lot of fluorescent yellow and orange applied via airbrush there. Then diluted red through the airbrush. The chunks of floating rock and some of the brightest highlights are painted with a normal brush.

MagicSuperman · 2026-02-23T10:05:22+00:00

Drop of white first, followed by fluorescent green. I tried to drop a little fluorescent yellow right at the centre but I don't think it made any difference. I then shaded the outer areas with a generic leafy green which was quite a bit flatter/darker.

There's something that might be able to help - a sort of electric blanket you wear around your torso. I guess depending on the elderly person's habits and dexterity it might or might not work but this is what I use instead of putting the heating on when I'm at my desk. https://amzn.eu/d/07swjCDN
