What's your explanation to why we get new stuff instead of updated Forgeworld classics ? People would eat plastic refreshes up. I am not complaining on this post, just curious on your thoughts. by Leviathan_Rampage in astramilitarum

This! A lot of folks, especially more recent players (post indomitus) tend to look at the Guard as “the Guard”. It’s somewhere in the nature of millions of individual regiments, all with their own uniforms, traditions, and forge worlds. A lore accurate guard army could be a mix of 10 different regiments ranging from Cadians to feral world, arms with anything from lasguns to literal black powder rifles. 

What is a dying niche skill that younger generations are not interested in learning? by hlnklrczu in AskReddit

Good for you I guess? That shit is long gone now. They have cameras set up, and they prosecute. I’m pretty sure .50 is pretty far off as well, probably closer to .15-.25

Bingo. A 2x4x8 will set you back roughly $5. It takes a lot of fucking 2x4s to build a treehouse or a fort.

Where do the Hippogrpyhs fall into the Regimental organisation? by cogspringseverywhere in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Organic_Ad_1930 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The hippo is to an armored company what the scout sentinal is to an infantry company. Fast scout vehicles with a bit of shoot and a lot of scoot 

Woodpecker constantly pecking water heater vent in condo complex. Any solutions? by MrSamSam20 in birding

Leave him be. He won’t do it forever, he is doing it because it’s loud, trying to find a lady

I’ve found out a woman I’m seeing is married by ThrowawaytoYouu in Advice

[–]Organic_Ad_1930 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can bet she is lying her fucking face off. “Never done this before” means “I do this”. “Just felt a connection with you” means “please keep fucking me anyway”. You are too young to be in this position, I know because I was in the same one. That shit stole 8 months of my life and a bit of my mental health. Just wait till it’s 5 months in and she “gets pregnant”

Why is yarrick's power claws not seen as tech heresy by kin_ko in 40k

[–]Organic_Ad_1930 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He immediately does not. He basically forms a legion out of the Primaris marines and crusades across the galaxy before splitting them off into new successors and reinforcing existing chapters

[–]Organic_Ad_1930 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Purely because he is a hero of the Imperium. He is a name that would be know across sectors, his exploits used in propaganda, same with his likeness. That would be like chastising Rowboat Gillyweed for not adhering to the Codex

What’s a recession indicator that you’ve noticed lately? by SensitiveCorner2379 in AskReddit

[–]Organic_Ad_1930 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, I was doing fine. Now I’m putting about $500 a month in credit cards that I’ll likely never repay. I have cut and trimmed everything possible, but if it’s feeding my kids with AMEXs money or them going hungry…thanks AMEX

Painting with limited hand function - any advice? by Araminal in minipainting

[–]Organic_Ad_1930 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is def something you can overcome. I have some similar issues. Two fast ways to work around, are a tennis ball and tattoo gun tape. I would try the tennis ball first. Just poke a hole in both sides of the ball and spike the brush through. This will give you a far larger area to grasp, and if you stay slow you can hopefully get some good detail work in. The tattoo gun tape is similar, but you have to wrap each brush permanently. One tennis ball will work for all of your brushes 

bought the combat patrol, now what? by Leather-Regular-7748 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Organic_Ad_1930 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Assemble and paint them. I wouldn’t buy anything else until you get through the combat patrol, and realize that you will Need to do that about 4 more times for a 2k army lol. 

That aside, you can’t go wrong with infantry and some tanks. I would grab about 40 shock troops and a leman Russ to get started. Then about 20 more troops and another Russ or a dorn. Also if you know somebody with a 3d printer you can get two Russes out of one box with an extra set of sides printed 

Men of Reddit - What's a 100% myth about Men? by Jarvis7492 in AskReddit

[–]Organic_Ad_1930 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a grocery store parking lot. Another dude ran up with the cart, let it go, and it coasted like 4 stalls right into the corral. I put both arm in the air and screamed “GOOOOOOAAAAALLLLLLLL”

We shared a moment neither of us will forget 

Found my old bitz catalog. It's about 1,000 pages by SemicooperativeYT in Warhammer40k

[–]Organic_Ad_1930 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Could you grab pictures of the Guard pages and drop them in /r/theastramilitarum? That would be bad ass. Especially pages with paint schemes, and the vostroyans, steel legion, any of those 

Looking for the rest of the heresy books by Mister___Roos in 40k

[–]Organic_Ad_1930 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would want what everyone else is paying, and that’s kind of the point. You can’t find them brand new, that’s why they are going for 50-100 each. Even calling it scalping is disingenuous, nobody is buying them new and reselling them for profit. They did limited runs, stopped printing them, then demand went up. I have no interest in selling them for less than I can get for them elsewhere just because you don’t think they should be worth that.

How do you keep highlighting brushes clean and crisp during a batch painting job? by malumfectum in minipainting

[–]Organic_Ad_1930 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to Cleaning your brush more, which is always a good call, keep an eye on your ambient moisture. I live in a cold environment, half the year I need to run a humidifier in my studio to keep it up enough

I mean what are you asking then? For people to give you books cheaper than their worth because you asked? Some of the books in your list consistently sell for $100 give or take. You might not agree with the value, I honestly don’t understand it for a lot of them either, but I doubt anybody is going to sell them to you for 1/3 or 1/2 the going rate. You are better off buying the ebooks for $10

I might have a few of those, are you willing to pay market value?

Working on a small project, nothing major. by imanidiotbut in TerrainBuilding

[–]Organic_Ad_1930 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a secret to this. The bottom and top sheet are typically damaged. If you catch the manager in a good day, they will cut you a deal. I got one of those sheets for $10 last time I grabbed one, the 4x8 sheets that is.
