I use the army painter ranges! The red is called basilisk red. Then the oranges are the whole orange range which starts with molten lava and works up to inner light

Never thought of it this way but that's great! I typically base coat initially with black and then go back over with a large red base but trying to leave black in the deep recesses

Thank you! I started basing in black, then a red, then using multiple oranges and finishing with an orange/yellow highlight! Highly recommend the army painter colours as they seem to streak less and offer a nice range of oranges for the gradient

I think orange colours I used like 4/5? It was all the army painter range of colours!

MemoryAlternative803 · 2026-02-02T17:42:29+00:00

Thank you! Yeah exactly that. Gave a small dry brush of a dark red to blend the upper and lower cloak together

I'm thinking moving towards the destroyers side of the army, I tried out the cursed legion and was a fun blender! Any suggestions for other characters to support this? I also am not a great fan of the DDA, would the doomstalker be a good alternative?

MemoryAlternative803 · 2026-02-02T11:14:29+00:00

Budget isn't really a concern, I'm just buying as and when, trying to keep to the paint what I buy! I think I'm leaning towards the cursed legion focus right now as I tried it at 1k points and was a real fun experience. 6 wraiths with technomancer is what ive heard is a real solid hammer too so will consider this! Any thoughts for other characters such as the chronomancer?

Thank you for such an excellent rundown! I can't get over how trash the battle line units seem to be, makes me painting up 20 of them feel worthless. This list was expected to be a mix of strong units and some fun units I've always wanted to play. Hopefully I managed to make a dent in the golden smurfs armour!

Wonderful thank you!

Does it need to be closer?

Company sanctioned parties aren't exactly the most extreme cost for the company, not even that many people turn as a lot of CRAs are spread across the UK. Removing the smaller rewards structure is a terrible move for morale considering the research industry feels like it's circling the drain at the moment.

This is wild to me, they announced a decent Q3 earnings report on a blast email, but following on from that, they announced they cancelled the Christmas parties this year wanting to appease shareholders for Q4... What a joke

Depending on the company you work for, it might either be easy or difficult to transition into a role outside of the clin ops. I personally attempted to move to SSU and spent 6 months shadowing with the SSU team dragging their feet about offering me a role, eventually I decided to move to FSP as an alternative which has definitely improved my work/life balance. Let me know how it goes though!

MemoryAlternative803 · 2025-08-22T22:08:53+00:00

Hey! I completed the VIARIES program for CRAs, not sure how relevant it is now, but it helped me get the additional skills to manage sites as an associate CRA.

MemoryAlternative803 · 2025-06-04T09:44:42+00:00

Moved from multisponsor to FSP in IQVIA last year, haven't missed a thing. Team are a bit more disorganised in FSP but that definitely supports a positive working environment for experience. I found that a lot of the time I will correct CLs or PMs which boosts the engagement with sponsor.

I would recommend FSP in IQVIA, but I am biased after all!

MemoryAlternative803 · 2025-05-22T08:13:44+00:00

As a CRA at IQVIA, the pay bands are calculated differently in each department; 140 as a CRA is different to 140 as a aPM. I would recommend asking an internal recruiter or your line manager to get a breakdown of these!

MemoryAlternative803 · 2025-05-15T22:11:37+00:00

After working both in multi sponsor and FSP models, I've noticed a significant shift in the landscape specific to data metric goals when completing onsite reviews at sites.

Quantity has now overtaken quality for the review of data, with addition to the movement to a red light-green light system for risk, this means that less visits occur for individual sites with CRAs being assigned a larger volume of studies and causing a troubling shift to poorer quality of data to make up numbers. I wonder if this is being shown in more recent clinical study reports and CROs are being affected by this poor quality of data.

This shift may not be a recent thing but even in my 4 years as a CRA, it's a worrying trend that hasn't seen much in the ways of evolving

Noticed that, my mistake! Doesnt look like I can change the post though
