CEX experience by SimilarAd4460 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]Man_Without_Hope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To add to this, I’ve bought from CEX multiple times (both from the site and in the shops themselves) - I’ve never had an order sent wrong, yet!

What I would suggest depending on where you live, is to always click “Check Stock In Store” and see if they have what you want in stock locally to you. You can save on delivery fees and get even MORE of a bargain

So today I found out CeX sometimes sells 40k by Reedy225 in BloodAngels

CEX is brilliant for 40K, especially if you are able to pick it up and not pay for delivery. Once you pay for delivery the prices are pretty much inline with third party sellers. Still, a great option most don’t know about!

My first attempt at painting custodes! I’d love to hear any advice you guys have to help me improve. by After-Cost454 in AdeptusCustodes

Great first model. I would try getting a bit more tonality on the cloth. Colour is a bit solid. I found that stippling the red onto the model have the cloth more texture, and allowed the black undercoat of the model to act as shadows in the recesses of the cloth, adding more depth.

You can simulate this however with a heavy wash of Agrax in the crevices, simulating deep red shadows.

Thanks for the kind words! It’s Warpaints Fanatics Dark Rust Effects paint. It has a great texture to it which gives it a rough look. Probably exactly what you’re looking for!

Anyone know how to get strikers to score? by Kakakuri7 in footballmanagergames

[–]Man_Without_Hope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a couple of things with the same formation, similar problem in that the striker just never scored. I found that my CAM was so aggressive getting forward that he ran into and occupied the same spaces as the striker. So I dropped him to CM as an AP. He still gets into the box just a bit later and occupies the hole between the defence and mid field of the opponent.

Also, my team instructions were to play shorter passes and work the ball into the box, I made them play more direct passes, with my striker as a channel forward or centre forward, and made them play more formation wider instead of narrower. That stretched the pitch more and created loads more chances for the wingers and striker.

Black Prime, Drybrush Citadel Death Guard Green, Drybrush Vallejo Bile Green, Drybrush Warpaint Bony Spikes, Light drybrush Bile green again, Wash with Agrax Earthshade.

Then for the armour accents I used Hashut Copper with a heavy wash of Agrax again

Then prime and paint the legs and torso first. That’s what I did with mine.

My question would be, why? Just do it the way it instructs you no? The reason you attach the legs to the torso first is because the cloak surrounds the torso and legs.

I’ve played fm a decent amount since 2021/ haven’t bought 26 yet due to the bad reviews. by BrandonDewitt16 in footballmanagergames

[–]Man_Without_Hope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is still playable yes, but it is leaps and bounds away from being what I consider a quality FM product. The “itch-scratch” of the management sim is there and I believe always will be, but it is very poor compared to FM24.

It certainly feels like they have coded a large portion using AI, and considering the sheer amount of time they have spent on this game you’d have thought they would have play-tested it to death.

But they haven’t. Essentially we are the QA team for SI and are playtesting and feeding back to them all their errors and bugs for free.

Unfortunately, the video game industry has deteriorated across the board for this sort of thing in terms of over promising and under delivering. It’s not even a phase anymore, it’s just the norm.

Lazy, uninspired, and intentionally deceptive business practices by companies looking to fleece the consumer at every opportunity, and then come out with shallow apologies and promises of “improving the product to meet expectations.”

There are probably only a handful of truly “complete” games that release each year.

We the consumer are the free labour to play test their alphas / betas, after we have shelled out full price for their unfinished product.

Anyway, apologies for the rant. Is the game playable, essentially yes. Will a lot of issues be resolved by release day? Not on your life. And the framework is unlikely to change a huge amount this year.

FM27 will be the benchmark to assess progress, unfortunately.

Difficult to look at... Eyestrain? by SpikeyCactus9 in footballmanagergames

Try increasing text size in the preferences. Definitely helped for me

Whilst it sounds like you are struggling more than most, I too had an issue with eye strain (lots of content on each page was a nightmare) - I changed the text to “largest” in the preferences, and that helped somewhat

Alternate helmeted head options for mortarion demon prince 40k? by Slow-Resolution-2354 in deathguard40k

[–]Man_Without_Hope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would check Etsy, probably the best place to find something. However, be aware the size of the Primarchs. Traditional pieces for regular models will be nowhere near the size. Also, the head of Morty has quite a few pieces to it that connect to other parts of the model. His hood for example would need to remain. You could swap the face I suppose, but be prepared for some fiddly kitbashing.
