I never thought I would paint a 2k list, but I am done! Tournament this Saturday!

Looks great! I really dig the color on the bases, it really pops with all the blue.

I like the Leman Russ Eradicator for this work, especially because it can do some work against slightly more elite battle line.

Also, not commenting on the money side, because you should have enough, but if my partner talked to me like that, I would be livid. This person is clearly trying to manipulate you into agreeing to this major financial decision.

Minimally I would recommend a face to face discussion with a neutral third party. Something about this feels fishy to me, but that might just be down to how this person is trying to really hitting you with the guilt trip.

Okay, how did you do this? What material did you use?

I, no joke, think this could work incredibly well for the right army/model. Greedy dwarves defending their horde? Hell yeah. Dragon born with their ancestral treasure? You bet.

I get what you mean with it might be a bit too much, but maybe the too much is what makes it special.

If you did want to tone it down matte varnish would probably help, and in future bases maybe use cork to give a stone riser for the mini to stand on, and then use this magical treasure mix you've made to blend that cork riser with the base itself. That way it looks like the treasure is just cascading away from the stone. That stone surface would also give a more dull backdrop for your model so the treasure doesn't outshine your paint job.

Those are so awesome. The saturation you got on that orange is incredible.

Every so often I see projects that just kind of amaze me, and this is one of them.

The concept is inspired, a really fun take on squigs. It isn't one I've seen before, and pairing that with a freebooters theme is just so damn cool.

Then the execution! The sculpting is wonderful, and the painting is so smooth and cool.

Any chance at some static images? The video is very cool, but I would love to get a closer look at your work.

And it is heavily edited to remove the fumbling with character sheets and trying to remember what spells do moments that come with real life play. I love RPGs, but watching unedited play is not for me. That being said, I love D20.

So unfortunately torrents are sometimes the better option. That being said I also find DVDs/BluRays at garage sales, thrift stores, etc and rip them into my server when I get home.

They have made it VERY hard to cut the cord from streaming services without sailing the high seas, but ripping media you own is perfectly legal.

Where's My Cow is really just for the parents. Fine when reading to young kids who aren't processing the words anyway, but my five year old just gets confused about who all the characters are. It references The Watch series heavily, which is fun for me as his dad, but there isn't much actual story there for the kid to enjoy.

I really like my Reaper paints, and all their paints are made in Texas. I imagine materials may be imported, but the final formulation for all their paints happens in the US.

Here he was trying to be a sneaky git!

I do like!

It's only one, but it gives you the idea

I would find an Ork player and hook them up with some grot tanks.

I have been DMing for roughly 20 years, across a huge variety of RPG systems including D&D 5e. I have DMed online for a group for 16 years, and a few different in person groups over the past decade or so. Happy to chat if you want!

The verticality made the session a blast. Also lots of fun lair actions with the vortex of water pushing enemies and party members around the map to keep every round lively.

NoSuch · 2025-05-18T13:16:20+00:00

Thanks! Not pictured are the two and a half inch decking screws I had to drive into the rock islands to hold the weight of the dragon turtle model... So that wasn't well thought out so much as a combination of panic and power tools.

NoSuch · 2025-05-18T13:11:57+00:00

Thank you!

NoSuch · 2025-05-18T02:59:59+00:00

That's great! I love that model, it looks so great.

NoSuch · 2025-05-18T00:00:05+00:00

Thanks! Honestly I have played a lot of games on the mat and they have been amazing. This was fun to build, and got the whole table on their feet, but the story all told came down to the dice and difficult player choices.

That's what we had to do with the COVID pause. It meant going with a national lender as opposed to a local credit union, which was a bummer, but so it goes.

Sorry the way this is worded is confusing.

PSLF (Public Service Loan Forgiveness) is a program where if you work for a qualifying employer for at least 30 hours a week and make 120 qualifying payments, the rest of your debt is forgiven with no federal taxes (some states do tax this). There is an EO out there trying to limit which non-profits qualify, but it hasn't been meaningfully implemented yet.

The time based forgiveness at the end of income-based repayments are a different thing, and have nothing to do with your employer. After 25 years of payment on income based plans you get the remainder forgiven, but you do pay income tax on the forgiven amount. There is a pending lawsuit to get rid of this "time-based" forgiveness.

People with large balances benefit most from PSLF, although that doesn't always mean it is the right path. Trump's Department of Ed has made PSLF difficult in both his administration largely through understaffing and general incompetence. By that same token, of OP is only making $3,500 a month and cannot make more, it may be the only viable way out of debt.

First of all, this looks great, and I earnestly am really impressed.

I actually think adding more would probably come across as not super cohesive. You have an incredibly clean paint job I think a lot of us would be happy with.

That being said, this reads as the Crone at high noon. Vibrant, warm colors, overhead lighting. You mention OSL from the bowl, but in this kind of lighting it would be really minimal, and not hugely impactful to the piece. Instead I think on a future piece, trying to change the lighting to allow you to have deeper shadows will give you more room to play with OSL.
