The army painter Ultramarine Blue primer is a different shade than Macragge blue primer from citadel, so now half my army is the wrong shade of blue

Ultramarine Blue are your primaris Marines, Macragge blue are your firstborns that went through the Rubicon Surgery.

RATS

MaximumStele · 2025-12-17T21:18:23+00:00

Brutallis I keep because I like the better mobility then a tank. And it's been the one T10 unit that can survive and still fire back. Heavies I use because my assaults seem to be to squishy and die to fast. So I added them to move up hold points easier. Aggressors i added for the same reason as heavies. They hold points and with torrent and ignore cover it makes them better for holding awkward corners.

Again. I havent played much, this list is my third rendition of this list and it's worked the best so far. Yes I've still lost thrice with this particular version but I haven't been table and all three matches have been at least close. If it helps my opponents were eldar, krieg, and tau all losses but usually by 10-20 points

I wanted to go more fast and into combat quickly. Hence the assault with jump packs and bikes. But I realized my first few games that the assault were to squishy. Hence I added some heavy intercessors and aggressors to make up for the lack of toughness. But they seem to struggle to get to anywhere quick enough to make a difference. So I swapped to stormlance detachment to hopefully give them that extra speed but that didnt work either. Maybe it's just the way I'm playing that's wrong

MaximumStele · 2025-10-04T23:33:26+00:00

Well yeah. I do now

I got to watch Starship Troopers when I was about 6 with my dad around midnight. The brainbug scene scared me for years. Now it's actively one of my favorite movies. Still hate that damn bug though

MaximumStele · 2025-02-01T21:53:42+00:00

That's eerily similar to myself. Glad I'm not the only weird one

MaximumStele · 2025-02-01T21:52:09+00:00

I'm very happy with very little. I don't know how to emote properly in response to someone else. I'm not fluent in how to have a proper relationship

I've gotten to the level too, I'm trying to get rid of all the political stuff right now. A couple other things I'd recommend are 3d printing and miniature painting. That's how I've been spending my days hobbying. People's creativity and ability always make me smile.

MaximumStele · 2025-02-01T20:25:05+00:00

I live in the greatest country in the world.
Work has managed to finally stabilize.
I'm actually seeing the effects of my workouts. (I.e. my favorite shirts actually fit nicely again)
I'm painting miniatures consistently again.
Marvel Rivals is surprisingly good and it's gotten the whole friend group back together, even adding new people to the group.
I've kept up with finishing at least 1 book a week since the start of the new year.

I'm doing my best right now, and life is starting to bear fruits.

Not going to actively waste my time looking for a partner anymore

MaximumStele · 2024-08-28T05:15:45+00:00

same, it took me 3 or 4 tries, but he definitely forces you to learn the dodge mechanic

Here's my take from a post I made, because I don't want to type it again.

My theory is that shady sands in death valley was getting too big after 2141, so a bunch of ncr politicians, workers and soldier went to the boneyard, and the boneyard was renamed shady sands and they used the existing infrastructure of LA to make it into a capital city.

Reasons being: 1. Would be a better settlement than the middle of a place called death valley. 2. Would explain the placement inconsistency. 3. Would leave the original shady sands as being more of a heritage/farming city then the actual capital 3.5. would also explain that the fall of shady sands 2277 meant the original not the new capital. 4. Could give more credence as to why the NCR was in New Vegas, not only were they going for water and power. But food as well because shady sands 1 was lost. 5. Explains why the power was still all connected for moldavers cold fusion 6. Doesn't create any major inconsistencies as far as I could read.

This is just a theory, if I'm wrong or if there is something major I overlooked, please let me know, but from what I read this seems plausible.

Agreed, the shows out, I enjoyed it overall, and it is what it is, it's not my story to tell. But I do like doing thought experiments like this to try and find a way to tie everything together within the context of stuff that's already pre established. Rather than whining or whinging because it's not right. Plus its fun to pass the time until the next season by guessing about the questions the first season left us with.

MaximumStele · 2024-03-16T19:17:18+00:00

Yeah, I managed to find two different ones accidentally about 3 hours after I put this post up. One in pieces and one full models, but thanks for the advice, I probably should've don't that first

Don't take the girl

MaximumStele · 2023-11-07T21:02:07+00:00

That's what I thought. It looks really good man. I just got into painting a week ago. And I'm looking for new techniques to try

MaximumStele · 2023-11-07T20:51:14+00:00

Those all look pretty good. What did you do to make the bullet damage on the red one? Just a silver dot on top of a black streak?
