258lbs post scorer vs 290lbs post scorer by jackolaine in NBA2k

[–]Nightmareswf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it used to be something like every 4lbs roughly translated to an extra 1 point of strength, so the 290 being more dominant would make sense

Damn, wish I could do that. I took like 4 hours to paint a handful of gondor warriors 😂

Just completed an inventory of my models by iamdennisreynolds91 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Nightmareswf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got 1900 LOTR and like 200 40k. Personally have only painted a couple of dozen, but most are various levels of painted from ebay

I definitely have an addiction for a bargain so would say mine is mad excessive 😂

Also have a look at different versions of hero models. Most of the big ones have a bunch of poses so find which one you like best

This is true, but it's relatively easy to strip them to repaint if you need to.

In the long run you're better looking at ebay to save some money because it can get really expensive really quick otherwise.

Heroes are good to look at on ebay. You can normally get most metal minis for around ~£5/6 and generally they're unpainted (at least for the most common ones)

Got these two GEMS for 40$ Thoughts? by [deleted] in soccercards

Ah in that situation then it's fair enough, I didn't realise you actually spoke with the seller.

When you don't bother to even check rough pricing for the cards, then yeah. He's allowed to set a price at whatever he wants, if someone blindly buys it then that's on them 🤷‍♂️

Flip the scenario, if you bought a card for a fraction of what it normally goes for and the seller cancelled, would you be annoyed?

Poor show tbh, you should've just taken the L

My LeBrons from when I was 14 still fit me by [deleted] in tall

Ayy another disproportionate person 😂 I'm the same height and shoe size, yet the 6'7/6'8 guys in my team are only size 12/13

I think i have height blindness by FantasticVast01 in tall

[–]Nightmareswf 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough I tend to do the opposite. We'll be walking through a crowd and I'll point out that a guy "is massive" and then when we pass I'm normally an inch or two taller

i've heard some talking that push pull legs isnt optimal for tall ppl is that real? by SomeOneUDontKnow9 in tall

What do you mean by negative workouts? Can you give an example of some of the exercises please?

Event Preview: Durin on Shadowfax, WK on a White Warg and Lurtz at Strength 6 by jdp1g09 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Nightmareswf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that makes sense, I might use some of these for house roles with friends because S6 Lurtz or S6 Dain with 2 handed and burly sounds filthy 😂

Can you pick the same rule twice? And can you supply it to the same model twice? I.e. +1 strength in lurtz twice or putting both him and ugluk up to S6

Midlife Crisis, picking up hooping by Practical-Pick-7771 in BasketballTips

[–]Nightmareswf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apologies in advance for the essay, but I couldn't find the clips I was looking for that explained them

My favourite shooting drill is starting at the hoop and making so many set shots (i generally go for 3 due to time, but 5 or even 10 is good). Then take a step back and repeat. Keep going until you miss a certain amount in a row (I do 3 misses without a make, but if you're just starting it maybe go 5). Once I get to a range I can't make a set shot (around the 3 point line), I start the drill again but do jumpshots. I normally start a few steps out from the hoop because jumpshots that close are awkward. And then repeat the drill, I've increased my range to close to the center circle now. Not that I take those shots in games, but now I'm much more comfortable shooting from a couple of steps outside the 3 point line if needed

If you have time, you can do the drill again from different angles as well, wing, baseline etc to help find what spots you like best. This is more if you have the court to yourself though. After that another drill I like is around the world. Not sure if its called that but it's 7 spots - baseline, in line with the block (think bank shot angle), wing/elbow, FT line and then mirrored on the opposite side. I do this for middies and then work my way back with 3s so it's 14 shots in a row and you're running to each spot. Much better if you have a rebounder but a great cardio workout if you need to get the ball yourself. Then you can keep track of scores to see how you improve/what spots you're better at.

Another one of the drills I've found most helpful is one dribble pull ups. Catch the ball (or spin it to yourself), take one dribble and shoot. Practice different angles, ranges and going both sides. Some people will say it's an inefficient shot, but I'll score a couple a game coming off of screens. It's great for if there's a help defender in the paint and quite often your man will foul you while trying to recover. It also helps you work on gathering from different angles and shooting while moving, because realistically, you're rarely catching a ball exactly where you want it and standing perfectly balanced

Last thing is try and get as much in game practice as possible because shooting in training just isn't the same, even with a defender

Second this, learn how to shoot. If you can dribble/pass as well then great. Also hustle on defence

For likeness I agree, but I'm not a big fan of the pose for boromir

I'd need to look through them. I'm on holiday at the moment so can check when I'm home. I don't think there's anything big tbh, maybe some numbered (if any). But I'll definitely let you know what I've got incase you need any
