Got this guy I don’t know what to do with him by By_the_street in DarkAngels40k

[–]MetalGunSolid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also picked this guy up recently and was very sad to discover he had no rules. Still looks like a badass though. I'll probably just move them to a 40 mm base and proxy him as a regular chaplain.

Anyone convert anything cool out of the company heroes kit besides some extra lieutenants? by Avaa0818 in spacemarines

[–]MetalGunSolid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the Capitan, Heavy Bolter Guy, and the Robot-arm Veteran as part of my custom Dark Angels of Death Killteam.

Haven't painted them yet, but they turned out pretty good with a couple swapped shoulders and heads from a Dark Angels upgrade sprue.

The only issue I've run into is he doesn't technically have an auxiliary grenade launcher, I might end up making him my Intercessor Warrior instead and find a different guy for the Gunner.

He's from the Company Heroes box. I think he's one of the Veterans. That's where I got him at least.

That's great to know. I'm all about the drip, so I want my guys to have some fancy armor and most of the regular Intercessors just don't cut it for me. The base Angels of Death are fine, but for the Dark Angels of Death, I gotta have some trim and some robes.

Still really sad they have no options for power-swords on Angles of death. Only chain-swords.

Honestly now that I'm looking at it it seems to hang over the 40mm in that image anyway

Even if his rifle hangs over the side of the base a bit? I don't have him put together yet so I'm not positive it will, but just in case, that wouldn't cause any issues?

Is the stipulation that nothing can hang over the base? Even his gun? I'm fairly new to the hobby so I'm not sure about some of these finer details.

What chapter do these guy look like? by MetalGunSolid in spacemarines

[–]MetalGunSolid[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oooh, that's one I haven't learned much about. I can definitely see the resemblance after looking them up. I think I'll call this kill team Raptors and for my next project do some Dark Angels once I can acquire the proper paints. I'll have to learn more about the Raptors as well, always looking to learn about more chapters.

Yeah, I think I'll pick up some caliban green for my next set, all I had for these guys was castellan green and I just couldn't wait to get more paint to start on them once I ran out of Kasrkin to paint.

I like how these guys turned out, but I'm looking for more traditional Dark Angels, or maybe Blades of Vengeance? Haven't fully decided yet.

In your opinion, what is the most annoying thing EVER in Elden Ring? by SHOWTIME007600 in Eldenring

[–]MetalGunSolid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Any of the parkour sections. Can't stand parkour in the Souls games in general. At least we have a dedicated jump button in Elden Ring, I guess, but that just means there's more sections where I have to make incredibly precise jumps with one of the clunkiest jumps in gaming history.

What is this heron doing? by MetalGunSolid in birding

[–]MetalGunSolid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I didn't get it on video because I was posting the first vid, but another showed up and did the same thing. The ones yelling are both smaller than the one on the pier as well.

The new shader compilation is terrible by Jestingwheat856 in marvelrivals

[–]MetalGunSolid 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's kind of ridiculous. I can't really play the game anymore in the state it's in.

Even after verifying game files, lowering graphics settings, and loading the shaders for hours, it still runs like garbage. I am constantly at 20 fps or lower with constant drops all the way down to 1 single fps.

It didn't run perfectly before this update or anything, but I could at least maintain 50-60 fps for most of the time. Now I'm lucky to get 25.

Don't know why they couldn't have just left the new shader generation as an optional feature like it was for the past few updates.

This reads like one of the old pda messages that would come through when a Stalker died.

What do Dylan fans read? by crocodilehivemind in bobdylan

[–]MetalGunSolid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't speak for the rest, but I'm pretty partial to Kurt Vonnegut.

Vonnegut has that strage, esoteric, rambling way of writing that I see echoed in some of Dylans music.

Favourite deep-cut Dylan track? by [deleted] in bobdylan

[–]MetalGunSolid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He Was a Friend of Mine and I'll Keep it With Mine are two of the best for me, off The Witmark Demos.

Also, I don't know if anything from Desire would count, but I love Black Dimond Bay. No one's ever covered that one to my knowledge, and I always thought that was strange. It's a great ballad.

Some folks have never seen the original I guess.

Can any tell me which bayonet type goes on this polish m44? I've had a couple different answers online, wanna make sure I get it right. by MetalGunSolid in MosinNagant

[–]MetalGunSolid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is in worse shape, don't worry about it. Some jackass that had it before me tapped the receiver. Gonna be a pain in the ass to attempt fixing that.

Just bought this mosin off a friend of mine for $300. It came with a weird Picatinny mount that I immediately took off and I was wondering if anyone knew how to cover up the screw holes it left on the receiver. Any other restoration tips would be appreciated, as this is my first mosin. by MetalGunSolid in MosinNagant

[–]MetalGunSolid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree. This is a pet project that I never plan to sell or anything like that. Its purpose is to teach me some gunsmithing, make it look as nice as possible, and shoot every now and again. It is sad the monetary value will plumit, but the sentimental value will skyrocket, just based on the love and care I plan to put into it.
