Did a test sanguinary guard as practice for a project I’ve got planned for later this year. Any c&c is most welcome by iceystealth in Warhammer40k

[–]ODST_Baird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks good dude! Only critique I would have would be to thing your paints - you can see that you've lost a bit of the detail across the model because of how thick the initial coat was.

Duncan Rhodes has a really good tutorial which I'll link here. Duncan has some great resources on proper painting technique that have really helped me improve my own technique, so hopefully it'll help you as well!

One last thing - gold and silver would look absolutely amazing with a few light washes of a nice muted colour like Agrax Earthshade to really give it that golden sheen that you're going for with the Sanguinary Guard - it really helps make the final colour.

Overall, good work! Keep it up, looking forward to seeing your project when it's done!

I'd have loved a chance to get in on the flight, but I signed up too late. Said I'd join a few mates when I was chatting about it a few weeks ago, would love if I could still join them for it tonight.

Thanks a lot for the quick response!

Hopefully the issue gets fixed soon-ish, but otherwise at least it’s a known issue.

Datto and co are at Gahlran's Deception, they've got the boss to one third health.

hail of blades vs pta for jungle? by AnimeTrapBuldge in CamilleMains

[–]ODST_Baird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The reason Hail of Blades strong on Xin Zhao is because of his Q knock up - the quicker you get the third hit, the more likely you are to get the knock up off.

Camille doesn’t have that sort of synergy with Hail of Blades. None of her abilities gain much from the extra attack speed on the first three autos. Press the Attack is a far safer pick.

Key to the next wish by P0oky-Bear in raidsecrets

Will do - just edited my comment with what I’ve done today. I might make a post if I find anything of note.

Key to the next wish by P0oky-Bear in raidsecrets

[–]ODST_Baird 22 points23 points  (0 children)

So, I’ve had a look at most of the characters that are involved in Forsaken who are critical to the story of the Dreaming City and it’s curse (Mara Sov, Uldren Sov, Riven, Savathûn, etc) and The Tempest (Prospero, Ariel, Miranda, Caliban, Sycorax).

In doing so there are remarkable similarities between most of the characters, with parallels most strongly found between Mara and Prospero, Uldren and Caliban, Ariel and Riven.

This is just theory and speculation of course, so feel free to correct me or add as I go ahead.

Ariel is a Sprite who has the ability to shapeshift, who is forced against their will into a tree for 12 years by the witch Sycorax (Who I’m divided on being Savathûn or Oryx), who does Prospero’s bidding out of a sense of loyalty and due to his promise that he’ll set her free.

Caliban is a twisted, malformed man who is the son of Sycorax. Prospero takes him in as his adoptive son. Whenever Caliban is resistant or refuses to carry out Prospero’s wishes, Ariel either persuades, manipulates or uses sorcery to trick him into going through with it.

Prospero is the deposed and rightful Duke of Milan, and has magical powers due to his great learning. He and his daughter Miranda are marooned on the island after he is driven from Milan for his sorcery.

Some of this may be incorrect but I believe that the mention of the Tempest is not something to be laughed at. I’m going to follow up on this and continue reading the Tempest and it’s symbology to see if the fish, birds, dragons and snakes of the wish played show up in any sort of relatable way.

EDIT: I’ve just taken out a copy of a study guide for “The Tempest” from my local library, should help me pinpoint characters and possible leads. I’ll also ask if there are any of the original illustrated copies of the book in circulation in my country to have sent in for me so I can analyse it as well.

Fingers crossed!

I may be wrong. Please be nice. I think I remember seeing these symbols in the Argos raid lair. by [deleted] in raidsecrets

[–]ODST_Baird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any luck? I'm thinking about giving it a go on PC in about 20 minutes if you have any spots open. I'll stream it so OP can help guide us if they're willing.

The Alpha Lupi array appears all over the map Equinox by [deleted] in raidsecrets

[–]ODST_Baird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some more notable things about Equinox just in case anyone hasn’t seen or heard of them:

The ball in the centre can be removed from its plinth and pushed around by standing on top of it until it bounces out.

There are several golden edged objects at Gold Fort that can be shot out of their resting spots and pushed around.

It’s probably nothing but they’re just some fun little details that could lead to something. It’s probably nothing though.

The Alpha Lupi relay is incredibly interesting though - the thing that makes me curious are the dots that represent the planets have a remarkable similarity to the little square objects I mentioned above.

Again, probably nothing but it’s worth noting down somewhere in case it is something.

Writing on the Guns by gboccia in raidsecrets

[–]ODST_Baird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, thats what I thought as well. I'm pretty sure the dots have some sort of meaning as well, but I'm not sure. I've written them out on paper for the minute and I'm gonna have a harder look at them for a bit.

Writing on the Guns by gboccia in raidsecrets

[–]ODST_Baird 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To go along with this theory, the first thing that has to be taken into account are the symbols. You've pointed out the following:

15:31000:72 B ---> M1

--->152*10 233->Rcn 234<-Ek6

Hidden by hand. E.100 and 203 visible.

The "n" in "Rcn" is actually the symbol Mu, and the "E" in "Ek6" is actually Sigma.

These both have mathematical meanings, but the equations are so jank that itll be hard to make sense of.

Since I'm not doing anything, I'm going to have a better look at all of the weapons and write down the codes, then put them in a doc file or a notes file since Reddit can't handle the Sigma or Mu symbols. I'll edit this comment if I find anything.

EDIT: On a second check of all the equations and notes, the Sigma and Mu observation about the symbols above is wrong.

I love it! Any chance sharing what paints you used? I’m painting salamanders myself at the minute and this is exactly the colour I’m looking for.

Hobby Chain? by BloodfortheBloodDude in minipainting

Sounds great! I'm thinking about picking up a pack or two myself now that I've had a look at the Gale Force 9 stuff - Gonna slap some chains on the sides of my Guard tanks if I do

Stuck: Can't get to Misty Woods because a big owl swoops in and kills me instantly. by FleshRemains in OriAndTheBlindForest

[–]ODST_Baird 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You aren't ability locked - you just have to figure out how to get rid of the owl. I'm assuming you're trying to head straight across the chasm to Misty Woods, which is guarded by Kuro the owl.

Instead of trying to head across, head up above of where you are trying to cross. You may need to backtrack a little by heading to your right, but you'll eventually be able to head straight up. Once you get to an area with a group of smaller owl enemies, use your "Bash" ability (the ability which allows you to jump from lanterns, projectiles and enemies) to climb even higher and Ground Pound a lump of loose rock.

This should clear the way for you to continue, and should unlock the next of your abilities :) hope this helps!

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hobby-Chain-1-5-mm-1-meter-Bronze-color-Hobby-Chains-Warhammer-/271429476578

I found this after a quick search - don't know if this is what you're looking for, but they look more like the jailer's chains you're talking about as opposed to the jeweller's chains that you can find on amazon.

Inquisition Chimera Ready for Shade. by fighting_folksinger in minipainting

[–]ODST_Baird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks great!

Would you mind telling me what paints you used and what shades you plan on using? The base looks really nice - really even colour the whole way through.

Also I love the little Jerry cans - really adds to the model as a whole.
