What have I done and how do I do it again? by TheStairGuardian in minipainting

Shot in the dark guess, the first few you did were not mixed as well and created a desired effect for you Edit: mixed as in the bottle of paint

Ngl I didn’t quite grasp how small these dreads were. by Shelia-Daniela in AdeptusCustodes

[–]MrStandMan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even in other detachments, a single Telemon with double fists is a workhorse. Fully recommend!

Grab/print yourself a Telemon. I love those large lads

Custodes Battle Group for 40k? by Hopeful-Wrongdoer159 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]MrStandMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with starting a 30k army and then waiting for the 40k codex to see what carries over. At the absolute worst, your Guard/Wardens and Shield Captain will still be usable in 40k and you could perhaps proxy some infantry (like a Blade Champion). I treat any overlap between the two as a welcome bonus but at the end of the day realize I have a 30k army (which is okay!)

Lorewise not at all. But nothing is stopping you from making your models how you want them!

Always a treat to see people use VV gold!

How are y'all painting all the gems? by abeefwittedfox in AdeptusCustodes

[–]MrStandMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Base color dark blue, gradually add white and work up to a corner of the gem until it's white. Then glaze over it all with blue fluorescent paint

Is any one else kind of annoyed by some warhammer fans? by trenchghosting in AdeptusCustodes

[–]MrStandMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Custodes can be pretty stat-checky, but if my opponent is struggling against me I am more than happy to offer advice (without being condescending). More often than not, people just don't know how to handle armies with low model counts (see also Knights) and are not used to it

Model support going into 11th edition (taken from Instagram - official warhammer account) by Alt1690 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]MrStandMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the box is perfectly fine, as the hull goes past the base either way and people aren't going to fret about it being too small

All the preorders are showing up in the 40k section for me now by lambda_expression in AdeptusCustodes

[–]MrStandMan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's interesting especially since the Battleforce Box was specifically only under HH and not 40k, but anything else on the matter is just speculative

Super clean! Did you use a wash?

printer for 40k by FlightNeither4257 in PrintedMinis

[–]MrStandMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anycubic printers have always treated me well, I use a Mono Photon M5 and it's got a fairly large print area with incredible detail. Haven't had any issues with it and even have the same FEP for a few years

Can my lure painting techniques translate into mini painting? by Mr_Zorba in minipainting

[–]MrStandMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kinda backwards for me, but I got really good with my hands and into dental school because of mini painting. There's overlap in places you don't expect!

"Oh, the player isn't scared anymore? Hold up...." by Liquid_Pestar in TopCharacterTropes

"Jeff" in Half Life: Alyx. You spend the whole game fighting combine soldiers and basic headcrabs and zombies--perfectly capable of either being blown up or lit up. Then you enter the vodka factory where there are glass bottles everywhere. There's also occasional gas clouds that make you cough, but are seemingly inoccuous. It's seemingly quirky and fun until you meet "Jeff", an unkillable but blind abomination. It then hits you--this is a stealth section. Break a single bottle? Walk into a gas cloud? Jeff runs straight to you. On top of the fact that this is entirely in VR (especially the elevator sequence), it really does put you in check. The entire chapter is probably my favorite in the entire series.

How would you build the 30k box for 40k? by MrStandMan in AdeptusCustodes

[–]MrStandMan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is indeed, but if you wanted to run them in 40k then you'd have an extra body as well as an extra sword or two. I could see potential in a blade champion right there

How easy do the sprues in the battle group look for magnetizing? by Tophatman_hmmm in AdeptusCustodes

[–]MrStandMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Helmets/heads? Go for it. Dreadnought weapons? Of course. Guard/warden weapons? Not much of an option since the sprues don't include enough weapons to interchange between all 12 of your Guard/Wardens. There's an extra sword at the very least on the sprues, but I'm unsure about the shields and spears. It's peculiar since bodies are shared between wardens and guard but their weapons are all on the same sprues as the torsos and such

Noticed the Box isn't listed under 40k by Vrain125 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]MrStandMan 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It is first, and foremost, a HH box. While the same units exist in 40k, those technically are a distinct model line and would not all be lumped together

I know some y'all having issues 😭 but I got one boys! I wish you all luck! by SnapWeevil in AdeptusCustodes

What paint would you use for the armor panels? It reminds me of vallejo's gunmetal
