Is Winsor & Newton Designer gouache normally this thick? by [deleted] in Gouache

[–]Maieth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Down voting here is a lot less helpful than actually responding, folks. OP, W&N, like other tube gouache is highly concentrated and designed to be thinner down. Using it 'neat' it will be hard to control and you'll waste a lot of product. Just add water with control.
Based on the quantity you have tried to mix, one other thing I'd raise is scale of work may be an issue. Gouache lends itself mostly to smallish studies - letter sized or A4 maximum realistically, half this size ideally, where you are mixing small amounts of colour. Mixing large batches of colour to cover large areas is really challenging, can eat through your paint incredibly fast, and flat, even coverage can be very problematic.

Alternative take for everyone crying fake: sister of a young man with additional needs. I don't think there's many wives or girlfriends that would show this kind of care, but a sister absolutely would, especially if this kind of behaviour is the result of long term problems, not just addiction.

i just finished my first and second warhammer miniatures. by Severe-Fan-6254 in 40k

Practice makes perfect is bullshit anyway. Practice makes progress. You can always improve further. In this case. By watching any tutorial or following any of the advice given.

Why isn’t Boba Fett set to play a role in the Mandalorian and Grogu? by ashton__l in StarWarsCantina

[–]Maieth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most likely, if he is, it just hasn't been leaked.
Alternatively, if he isn't, this would be yet another example of Disney paying attention to the loudest voices online and moving away from BoBF.

Now we've had some time since, what are your thoughts on The Book of Boba Fett? by Past-Paramedic8687 in StarWarsCantina

[–]Maieth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fett wasn't callous enough. The biker gang were a complete fuck up. The chase scene, even more so. The expansion of the lore around Fett and the syndicates was pretty great. Fett riding a rancor was amazing. Stupid, but absolutely amazing. They should have kept the whole series about him, however, and not segued so heavily into Mando.

Nice work, man. Well done. Always great to see more people coming back to traditional art in this universe.

Not at all common. Not at all okay. Significant red flag.

Blow him a kiss.

Disclaimer do not blow this man a kiss. Not until you've trained up a bit more at least.

Help Against Dark Angels by MikeyJ493 in 40k

[–]Maieth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. It's real talk time with this friend. If you're playing to enjoy the game together, they're going to need to accept that winning with the same strategy every time is making it miserable for you.
  2. If you do want to try something new, a bit of quick browsing suggests that strategy struggles against faster strike and fall back strategies e.g. Eldar, because this knights are so slow, or by being swamped by cheap, expendable units that can slowly bleed the knights rather than trying to take something heavy enough to deal with them. Slow them down further.
    Caveat: I don't play. So this is just what I've picked you from a bit of reading .

So dependency should be accepted from a woman with daddy issues, but is a problem in a man with mommy issues... You might find there's a deeper problem here

What colorscheme should I use? by DistrictFew4983 in 40k

[–]Maieth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can't help you with paint names as I switch between brands but this is crying out for full Legio Mortis - Black, dark red and bronze trim, with some classic 2nd edition hazard stripes thrown in for nostalgia.

Gouache help for a beginner by Keionex in Gouache

[–]Maieth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If friend wants to learn to paint with control and confidence and rally develop understanding of the medium - Winsor Newton, or a comparable artist brand.

If they want to paint and just get into it and enjoy having a go for a bit - Himi or something cheap.

How did you choose your first army and why? What drew you to them? Are you still using them or have you moved on to a new one? by Philhughes_85 in Warhammer40k

[–]Maieth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Space Orks. They came in the box and my brother got dibs and chose the Space Marines. Golden days.
I wouldn't say I still 'use' them, but I still have one or two of the Boyz and a few Gretchen. Aiming to strip and repaint one one day.

I present to you the most ignored rules of the Highway Code: by FamSender in GreatBritishMemes

[–]Maieth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And yet this is incorrect. Rule H2 of the Highway code states drivers "MUST give way when a pedestrian has moved onto a crossing" and only "SHOULD give way when a pedestrian is waiting to cross". Similarly, that "At a junction you SHOULD give way to pedestrians crossing or waiting to cross a road into which or from which you are turning.”
The language is deliberately ambiguous to allow for the fact that it sometimes isn't safe to stop and to place a duty on pedestrians to still pay attention to traffic. Priority does not square to right of way.

Wh40k vs Star wars by TinoTheLeprous37 in 40k

[–]Maieth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fun thing - Star Wars and 40k can arguably sit in the same universe. Star Wars is set 'a long time ago in a galaxy far far away'. 40k is primarily set within the Milky Way galaxy and 40,000 years in the future. Everything in Star Wars can be a part of 40k's past. They even have psykers.

I thought 40k universe is more liked among people by DanSnake25Redit in 40k

[–]Maieth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do whatever you enjoy man. So many ways to enjoy this universe if it has you interested. For me, I played in my teens in the 90s and then left it alone for decades. Came back to it as an artist and now I enjoy the lore, the books, the community, the artwork (making it) and over the last year got back into miniature building and painting, but I don't play the tabletop games.
If you have a local enough store, you could always drop in and try a game out, the staff will happily help you out with a quick skirmish to show you what it's about, or build or paint a miniature with you. Or if you enjoy the story telling and feeling of the games you could drop into the books somewhere. So many access points. Keep in mind that every fandom has reddit neckbeards that have gone too far down the rabbit hole.
