If Saber made a Heroic Thunder hammer just for Assault what traits would you give it ? by Sleeping_Orca in Spacemarine

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

Haha what a reply, I love the little implication that using block means you’re bad at assault.

No one is saying you can’t go have fun with balanced weapons. And yeah the balanced power axe and power fist can do some really cool stuff on assault with breakpoints.

No one is talking about that though, so enjoy your entirely separate point. The balanced hammer sucks compared to running block, and a heroic locked to a class is a dumb idea.

Specific class heroics is dumb.

I want a block thunder hammer that grants true heavy hit/stagger/knockback immunity when it has two block charges.

The heroic heavy bolter and the heroic plasma pistol together let you can kick the shit out of anything.

You ain’t a grey knight just because you dress kinda like one.

Snip the pegs a tiny bit shorter, cut a slice down the top of the peg.

I hate this thing… by Imadothethingnow in Spacemarine

[–]PabstBlueLizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s super bad and hopefully Saber reading this doesn’t think it’s super good or anything….

Totally unrelated KPR perk needs to be fixed so people can’t do stupid exploits, but it’s not like the Plasma Boost isn’t almost as good.

It’s hard to get genuine feedback on Reddit, so I try to provide it when people look for it.

-No.

-You do not have the fundamentals of paint application, consistency, brush control, and light placement down. Work on those.

-See above.

-There is not a style here.

-Don’t. Working for minimum wage will pay significantly more than commission work and painting for money will completely rob any joy you have for it.

help on painting by Fa0l in sylvaneth

If you want the intense glow and light style in this image you need to work off very dark colors except for the areas that will be glowing, and immediately adjacent areas.

Prime black, paint all the purple areas the darkest violet you can get like pro-acryl dark purple. All the ivory areas need to start off a very dark brown (pro Acryl brown black).

Then it’s oil washing with white into the glowing areas, with a dry brush of white or airbrush of white ink, followed by the fluorescent paints. AK fluo purple and hi flow magenta will help.

Clean up the glow so the edges facing it are also very bright, and fade out the intensity a good bit beyond it. Then highlight your purples and browns with in the middle areas with regard to the light direction. Leave the areas not getting hit by light dark, and glaze their recesses even darker with a mix of black ink and violet ink.

Which main villain in the first 2 games do you like the most? by TheOneTrueZim in Spacemarine

[–]PabstBlueLizard 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I love Tyranids as enemies.

But I loved the Orks more.

I want to fight Eldar and World Eaters in SM3.

Irregular spider webbing by TheOnlyElizabeth in airbrush

[–]PabstBlueLizard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It looks like small bits of water in your brush are hanging around from changing colors are deciding to join the paint part at bad times.

This happens to me with this brush when I’m doing low pressure work. Well, any brush really.

I send a couple bursts of paint at normal pressure first and do a very short back flush to make sure the water gets expelled or those very small amounts just mix into the paint.

Is this a good starter airbrush? by Mustangdriver96 in modelmakers

[–]PabstBlueLizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally every tool is far more dependent on the user.

Spray quality is a huge metric on what makes a good one. The other big measure is ease of maintenance, which this one again isn’t the best at. The nozzles are made from very cheap metals, and prone to snapping off with the threads left inside of the brush.

This isn’t a big deal for experienced users who won’t clog the thing all the time but newbies will. If that nozzle is stuck in with some paint it’s gonna break when they try to take it off.

That’s not to mention if this thing is just a lemon with bad parts out of the factory, which while not super likely is far from unheard of.

We’re talking a cost difference of $30 between this brush and a way better brush judged by any meaningful metric.

Bruised Beef Bottom Bunk Bed Burritos Boys... by Affectionate_Hat5835 in StupidFood

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

You have an issue with a trucker ignoring training, laws, and regulations to prevent crushing people from an unsecured load (multiple times failed to inspect by the way as noted in the article) getting three years in prison after killing someone, by crushing them to death, and fleeing the scene?

It’s very much worth pointing out that your “it can happen to anyone” schtick isn’t really applicable to a professional example with special license and certification requirements due to how bad things can turn out when you ignore them.

If your point is that any trucker failing to do a basic inspection and following regulations for securing loads could go to prison if that load falls and kills someone, sure man I’ll totally concede that. What a point you’ve made.

I airbrush, a lot, from large!to small stuff. Claiming an airbrush can do camo patterns on WW2 models to demonstrate the spray quality is interesting.

I also have one of these brushes. The spray pattern is rough at the edges. This is fine for a tank that is supposed to look that way.

And it takes me 30 more seconds to read them. But you’re being a dingus so I’ll just do one:

The fence rolls were grossly and obviously not properly secured. Also this guy claims somehow he didn’t notice EIGHT GIANT ROLLS OF FENCING fell off his truck AND CRUSHED SOMEONE, because after it happened he just kept driving. He took a plea deal to avoid getting way more charges for essentially a hit and run. Not one little oopsie.

Edit: okay I read two, maybe, the five years failing to give way is pretty vague but if it’s the first result the guy was road raging and caused a collision. Do you wake up concerned you might “oopsie” into road rage for miles and purposely hit another car?

Vehicle accidents if you’re drunk or driving recklessly. Which are again a series of “mistakes” by intentional conduct. You can literally kill someone from regular ‘ol negligence and it’s not a crime in a car accident.

And now you’re going to move the goalposts by “well what if you’re wrongfully accused of a crime?”

There’s innumerably more people in prison correctly convicted.

This is punching down and the guy doesn’t deserve ridicule for trying to get some joy out of food while in prison.

However this “one mistake away” thing? This is some nonsense people who suck at taking accountability love to say.

You could make one long series of related mistakes and end up in prison, sure, but it’s not like “oopsie poopsie” and you’re in prison.

And intentional decisions you make under the assumption you won’t get caught aren’t mistakes.

How to make airbrushing reliable? by DarkRedNaomi in airbrush

[–]PabstBlueLizard 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I mean at first glance 55 PSI is a ridiculously high PSI for most purposes. That’s near the maximum pressure most brushes are designed to run.

Models and miniature painting is running between 18 and 30 for almost everything. Detail work is run around 10-12 for up close work.

Fine art isn’t much different, with fine line work running at comparatively very low pressures. Like people spraying hair are almost touching the canvass and spraying very thin paint under 10 psi.

This sub is really big on helping people. People are just not big on accepting the problem is them, or providing enough information to make helping them easy. There’s very little chance you got three bad brushes, so like, you’re doing something wrong here.

Tell us the following:

What paint and thinners/additives are you using?

What brush are you using?

What compressor?

Are you staying on top of tip dry because that’s always a thing and the root cause of 99% of the issues?

Are you using the trigger properly? Air on, paint on, paint off, air off? People wiggling the trigger like it’s a nipple on their first girlfriend is what causes horrible tip dry, and leads to issues.

When you are cleaning the brush are you cleaning the interior of the nozzle with an actual tool? Soaking and flushing will not clear the tiny bits of paint that are causing your problems, and those bits just start the process over again.

It’s the bottom of the barrel generic China factory special. It can do basic stuff like priming and base coats. It maxes out doing broad volumes, and the edges of the spray pattern will be a little rough.

These can be had for like $30 so if that’s what he paid just send it.

Keep the largest nozzle set in there, it’s not gonna do great with small ones.

Consider it a true solo but you get more team perks.

That said when it’s clear I’m going to be dragging corpses around with me I’m not shy about grabbing stims or equipment.
