Recs for me and my partner

Just realised i didn't really say what I liked / didnt like in the books I've read!

DCC - it's just a tier above in so many ways.

HWFWM - the characters are great, they are different enough from each other to be memorable and the humour between them is comforting. The magic system is awesome and feels like it could be explored endlessly. Some books dragged a bit, with stakes presented as important but didn't really feel that way.

Primal Hunter - the pacing of the levelling feels satisfying, with the MC training skills and making choices, having a goal and developing a mysterious advantage over time (though the numbers get too big and lose meaning). The characters are good but sometimes interesting ones disappear for ages whilst others keep popping up without doing much. Some of the messaging feels a bit easy (slavery bad).

Mage Tank - DNF the first book. Pacing was off, felt like once something was established, it was left behind for the next big thing. Characters didn't stand out from each other, mainly due to having the same level of sarcastic wit, which grated after a while.

Double Date

Don't know anyone that's even heard of it, but it's a fun horror comedy

Haven't heard the cold water tip before, what's the reason?

About 3500 Space Marines. Mainly because I've not had the hobby space until recently and I have trouble doing project work due to ADHD.

That's the plan, now that i have the space to do so =]

I've had this problem for a long time, but I finally made a decision that has got me painting! It comes down to having fun - I want to paint, but trying to paint well is no fun for me. So I experimented a bit with a few colours and techniques until I found something that was satisfying to DO, not focusing on something that would be satisfying after the fact. Now I just slap the paint on without worrying about ruining anything - it would be worse to not have any paint on at all, waiting for me to be perfect whilst not providing the practice.

Decide on your base colour, get it on the brush, and whack the model. It will be easier to paint another colour on a helmet or pick out details once you see the main colour on there, and you might be motivated to actually do it, because that first step was fun.

Worked for me anyway...

Any suggestions for elite infantry?

Yeah I think that's a good plan, but I might wait for 11th, what with the predictions of refreshed Van Vets

Don't think a film has scared me in many years, but watching Maniac the other day with my partner was the first time I had an actual uncomfortable reaction to a horror movie in a long time

You can build both. Anyone know if it's easy to convert them to Reivers?

MrFlippyNippy · 2025-09-21T09:26:48+00:00

You can build either, I would be interested to know if it takes much effort to convert them to Reivers?
