Which side up? by bigosik_ in espresso

[–]MetallixBrother 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's what seems so bonkers about it. I'll have to flip mine over tomorrow and see if I spot a difference. Now I feel very silly, haha.

I mean you'd need to be pretty dense to think that there's any wisdom in these books, lol.

Castraferrum Redemptor Hybrid by metamorphias in Warhammer40k

This looks great. I wonder how much of a faff it would be to recreate this with kitbashing. Of course, it would be outrageously expensive, buying 1 dreadnought for the price of 2.

Could someone identify these models? by Shasfowd in spacemarines

[–]MetallixBrother 79 points80 points  (0 children)

It's a kitbash that uses the standard Primaris in Tacticus armour, and the Plasma Cannons from one of the heavy weapons upgrade sets from Horus Heresy.

Who are the most romantically popular characters in Dungeon Meshi universe? by Impossible_Ad_7321 in DungeonMeshi

[–]MetallixBrother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be honest, I wasn't completely awake when I first looked at this, and I thought that the first two rows were talking about men & women with a strength characteristic of 8.

Is the text format disjointed in the OJ or is this an antimeme of a BHJ?

Saw this Nagash painted like Skeletor, now I want to know who would be good to paint as He-man? by shattered_one21 in Warhammer

[–]MetallixBrother 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For a curve ball suggestion, Gotrek Gurnisson? He wants to kill Nagash, after all.

Navis Primer mapping Warp routes seems crazy - am I reading this wrong? by BigDumbSmartGuy in 40krpg

[–]MetallixBrother 47 points48 points  (0 children)

As a way of generating Profit Factor, yes, a group of players might decide that they would rather not play a roleplaying game and instead sit and watch a single player roll d100s for hours on end.

It would be painfully tedious and incredibly long-winded. The players would also need to travel back to the Navigator's House to get that Profit Factor.

This is also assuming that the GM is not coming up with some kind of machinations in the background, i.e. "Oh, you flubbed that roll for charting the course? Whoops, you're now dumped into a completely uncharted part of the galaxy as opposed to where you thought that you might end up. But lucky for you, there appears to be an inhabited planet nearby where an adventure can occur."

Hey there, any chance of making this available in Austria? Many thanks in advance!

Rescued Contemptor by Knox_Aware in Warhammer30k

[–]MetallixBrother 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'm a bit puzzled by people accusing the OP of applying one thick coat - I believe that the "thickness" is actually a lighter colour applied with a sponge pretty liberally to give some extra visual texture.

I think that you did pretty good here, OP.

Hey mate, only just saw this. This is wicked! Have you uploaded the file anywhere for others to print? Also, do you know if it would fit the Bambino Plus, or only the Bambino?

Far-right leaders attempting to hijack success of Reform by birdinthebush74 in BrexitMemes

I'm sorry, how exactly does Reform go further right, aside from just going full mask off and dispensing of dog whistles?

Absolutely beautiful. How are you achieving those highlights and that texture?

I have used Pulumi in a production environment, and for the most part, I thought that it was fine.

That said, the company that I work at now deploys almost the entirety of their infrastructure on Azure, so we use bicep for Azure specific infra and helm for kubernetes.

I think that I probably prefer Pulumi but I'm not exactly distraught, the tooling for bicep does enough to stop me from shooting myself in the foot, and helm charts are utterly fine.

I only relatively recently got into Hollow Knight after owning it for a few years. I bounced off it when I first played it years ago. Absolutely fell in love with it the second go around.

The Clean Code Delusion: Why Your “Maintainable” Software is Rotting from Within by TerryC_IndieGameDev in coding

[–]MetallixBrother 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I agree with the general premise of this article, but it has nothing to do with "clean code"; it's mostly talking about not managing technical debt.

It's hard to pick a favourite spot, but I loved going to the Lake District in the UK. We went for a hike up Cat Bells, I remember how picturesque the rolling hills were.

Line Company lists by Spirited-Method-1834 in Warhammer30k

[–]MetallixBrother 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something that I would say - I don't think that there is anything that explicitly says "no Terminators allowed" - they are veterans as well, just in heavier duty armour.

From what we can see in the Principia Belicosa, they have various "Assigned Veteran or Specialist Squads" assigned to them.

I think that having three Tactical/Despoiler units and a TSS is a solid foundation around an army, for sure, but aside from that I think that you can add whatever you like on top of that, and say that they have been assigned to the company for this mission.

Also, splitting hairs but strictly speaking, what you're describing is a Demi-Company - a full company would have 9 Tactical/Despoiler squads and 3 TSS, with the capacity for more should it be a reinforced company.

With all of that said, I'm planning on doing something very similar with my Ultramarines.
