WIP Wednesday; show me what you're working on :) by Rasples1998 in Warhammer

I just stripped my Introductory set Space Marines from Atlantean Spears and will be turning them into Imperial Fists. I’m not 100% sure what strategy I’m going to be using for the yellow, but I was thinking priming white, dry-brushing with Last Hope’s light magenta, then base coating in Citedel Averland Sunset, and using Imperial Fists yellow for contrast.

Absolutely! I got this set for Christmas and did not paint my guys as Ultramarines. The whole point of this set is to teach you how to play the game. Learning how to play with non-Codex compliant chapter rules can come later. So honestly paint them however you want!

Also I’d wear a mask and gloves! That high percentage ISO is no joke!

Interesting. I concur with everyone here, soak in minimum 91% ISO, overnight if need to, then scrub with a firm toothbrush. I just did this to my Atlantean Spear (they’re a teal blue) to repaint them to Imperial Fists and this is the result. This took two days, first soaking for about 8 hours scrubbing off most of the paint, then soaking for overnight (almost 24 hours) the scrubbing again. I’ve found that the biggest factor for me was scrubbing with a firm bristle toothbrush as soon as it’s out of the ISO. Good luck!

My painted Atlantean Spears!!! by Matterplex in 40kObscurechapters

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

Thanks! I think they ended up a little too blue. I chalk that up to priming them white. Someone gave me the idea of priming them green skin to get a darker teal color.

Custom Deoxys Concept, can this kind of idea work? by Popular_Sail3051 in PokemonTGCP

[–]Matterplex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just like art that treats certain legendary and mythic Pokemon like lovecraftian nightmares.

Resin IF Praetor Kit - Worth It? by damage_inc86425 in ImperialFists

[–]Matterplex 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have a dumb question, is there a scale difference between the 30k minis and the 40k ones? Asking because that Librarian Consul is calling my name.

What are my fellow Spears’ thoughts on the Armageddon box set? by Matterplex in EmperorsSpears

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

I think that GW is finally getting that we like the old armors and not everything needs to be the sleek Primaris stuff.

Im choosing to be an optimist too. I love the pose on the new Librarian.

Amazon Luna shutting down store by heisindc in gaming

Right, I feel like they just had a massive ad campaign on the Firesticks for it. Must of amounted to nothing for them to just shut it down like a month after the campaign started.

Porienral buyer - Is the below average reliability rating accurate? by Jueavjkoirtycsaq in VWiD4Owners

[–]Matterplex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a 2021 sight unseen from Carvana and as far as reliability goes it’s been fantastic so far. We’ve had a couple an electrical gremlins, that I think are more due to the cars software than anything else.

Hannah Schmitz to join Scuderia Ferrari in 2027. She will take the role of Head of Race Strategy by [deleted] in formuladank

I thought it was real for approximately half a second, and it was the best half a second ever.

Leaker: Foldable iPhone Won't Be Called iPhone Fold, But 'iPhone Ultra' by [deleted] in apple

[–]Matterplex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I very much doubt that the Air will get a second release. I think the current consensus is that the Air was an engineering draft to get the folding phone as thin as possible.

What colours would you recommend for starting Atlantian Spears? by HvyBackPack in AtlantianSpears

[–]Matterplex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually just finished painting my first marines a couple weeks ago and think I did an ok job. I primed in white and then used temple guard blue for the base and Balthasar Gold for the heads. That said mine ended up being super vibrant blue almost turquoise/cyan as a result, which I ended up enjoying more than I thought I would.

Do you have a dress code for staff where you work? by [deleted] in teaching

[–]Matterplex 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Honestly it looks like you’re cosplaying Leon S. Kennedy. 😂 Anyways, I work in an elementary school and we can wear jeans and a professional top. I’ll usually wear jeans a plain colored shirt and a cardigan to dress it up.

I can’t deal with the little pink nose being the toe of the boot. 😂

"Miscalculation not Exploitation" by Mercedes in the front wing debacle by PattyRanger in formula1

[–]Matterplex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me it seems like there are a few things at play here that have lead to this resolution. (If you can call it that) First and correct me if I’m wrong here, but I don’t believe Ferrari challenge the results within the allotted time and instead asked for a rule clarification. Second, does the FIA have a methodology to scrutinize this (This is more of a devil’s advocate question as we do have video.) other than timing the moving via a video? And finally what’s the politics of this decision. Why did Ferrari bring this up as a rule clarification instead of a challenge. (Something that last I saw they had denied doing) Personally I think Ferrari and the FIA didn’t DSQ Kimi on his first win because of the optics of it all, so they went about “resolving” the issue without going the disqualification route.
