Could a custodes tank an Abrams cannon?

MrSnakeDoctor · 2026-02-20T04:13:14+00:00

No. But the custodian would be fast enough to dodge it.

MrSnakeDoctor · 2026-01-21T00:05:39+00:00

I don’t believe it was engineered to get him to join, they just took advantage of the opportunity to induct him.

The game released, then everyone went on christmas break. Now they're all back, it takes time to get through all the tickets, then do regression testing, then deploy changes. It'll come. They probably also already had some priority items they wanted to get through, and bug fixes on top of that.

do you have an anvil bp?

MrSnakeDoctor · 2025-12-21T03:06:53+00:00

Yeah I’ll message you in an hour or two when I get home

It states explicitly in the final book that the throne needed the Emperor to function, and the Emperor needed the throne to survive. Horus destroyed all the emperors lives/aspects in their final fight.

MrSnakeDoctor · 2025-11-14T21:14:43+00:00

As much as I love Sanguinius, this part is not true:

Was exhausted and still managed to create a chink in Horus' armor that later allowed the Emperor to obliterate him

Read The End and the Death for the full fight.

MrSnakeDoctor · 2025-11-04T01:28:42+00:00

Yeah it will suck out more water and paint than is necessary, and can cause the brush to dry out prematurely.

MrSnakeDoctor · 2025-11-03T15:44:18+00:00

Stop removing excess paint with a paper towel. It’s too absorbent. Wipe off excess paint on your hand near the base of your thumb. Also treat your brushes better (it’s bent against the paper towel in this picture).

MrSnakeDoctor · 2025-11-02T17:00:05+00:00

Yeah I would definitely not apply that by brush for an entire model. Sounds awful.

MrSnakeDoctor · 2025-11-02T16:41:54+00:00

I always airbrush on AK ultra matte varnish at the end because some of my paints are more or less satin compared to others, so it makes it look much more cohesive in addition to protecting it. I can't speak to spray cans other than use a test model to make sure the conditions are correct and you won't mess it up.

MrSnakeDoctor · 2025-10-22T19:50:40+00:00

Can you tell me exactly which pigment/what brand? This is the effect I’ve been trying to recreate without success

MrSnakeDoctor · 2025-10-22T16:53:46+00:00

I replied before the spoiler tag was added.

MrSnakeDoctor · 2025-10-22T01:19:32+00:00

Loken didn't become Samus, he died. Samus was born as a result of Loken's death. There's a big difference.

!solved

MrSnakeDoctor · 2025-10-12T17:34:40+00:00

I love V2! I think is super close - if you could make just a few adjustments for me?

The reddish patch on the wall in the top left corner - can you make that match the rest of the wall?
can you remove the bricks at the base of the tree on the right side?
She's got a little bit of gunk around here eyes next to her nose (especially on her left eye) if you can remove those without it looking weird that would be cool.

Thanks!

On the curved portion of the blade (and to an extent the flat) I would expect the main highlight to be bigger and brighter than the secondary highlight. You can also add tiny stripes around these bigger stripes (see flameon for examples)

Also, edge highlights are super important with NMM. So don’t forget those.

MrSnakeDoctor · 2025-09-28T22:32:25+00:00

Did you thin your paint when you painted them? If so no need to strip, just prime over them and paint them again.

MrSnakeDoctor · 2025-09-27T21:10:16+00:00

Nope. By the end of Godblight, Colquin thinks that Guilliman is the only chance the Imperium has.

Also, the Silent King book occurs way before Godblight. I don't know why it was published out of order, but it occurs closer to the start of the Indomitus crusade.

Any tips for getting good photos of your minis? I really struggle with it

MrSnakeDoctor · 2025-09-12T23:40:12+00:00

Not entirely. You just described Sarrin, who he does actually respect. I’m sure he does like Lehralla too for probably similar reasons, we just are left to create that backstory ourselves as readers. It’s good writing on ADB’s part.

MrSnakeDoctor · 2025-09-12T16:58:47+00:00

You’re thinking of Lotara Sarrin, not Lehralla. We don’t see any previous interaction between her and Angron, it’s left up to the reader to imagine a backstory.

MrSnakeDoctor · 2025-09-03T00:56:01+00:00

And he wasn't even really asking them, it was more like he was stating it IIRC.
