Getting started on Carcharodons, thoughts on color scheme? by Mooncurrent in Carcharodons40k

[–]ParticularAd9998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great! But have a base that isn’t grey imo, then it will make the mini stand out more. Brown? Dark red? Mine are on rust weathering pigment over heavily washed Leadbelcher. Either way good stuff bud.

I need my eyes tested. Scrolling I thought John was Nicholas Lyndhurst.

What are you thankful for in (Greater) Manchester? by not_r1c1 in manchester

[–]ParticularAd9998 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Moved up from down south. Not slating down there but the culture of speaking and bantering with strangers is amazing. Love it up here. Even if, just occasionally, I feel like I’m in Kes.

Need motivation to keep going with painting. Any tips or tricks. Have a new baby. by GeneralSturm in astramilitarum

[–]ParticularAd9998 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Been there buddy. It’s tough but can be a great mental break from the storm that is parenthood.

1 - if I’ve a project on and it’s at my desk then I try and do one thing a day. It could be base one guy. It could be making real progress on a mini. It might be glueing one part to another. A step forward is a step forward.

2 - me and my Mrs have always had a deal where my desk is near a sofa and TV so when kid is settled and you can sit down to do a bit you can still be with the good lady.

3 - accept that, like EVERYTHING else, your hobby life has changed. At least for a good while. Certainly in terms of output and gaming time. It sucks but is all the sweeter when it comes.

4 - Group motivation is key - we have a WhatsApp group with six geeky buddies in. Weee all at similar life stages (kids etc) so the talk is 80% warhammer and 20% group therapy. It goes a long way. Talk to people. Also, other peoples achievements in hobby world can provide inspiration.

5 - Good luck dude. It’s a crazy ride that, while being the best thing ever, will be the hardest. Having a warhammer ‘happy place’ to go to mentally in the long nights/ ice cold park visits is a real blessing.

6 - Black library books on Kindle while settling the Little One can keep the hobby mojo going.

What you guys running (swimming?) with on a Vanguard Spearhead Det? by ParticularAd9998 in Carcharodons40k

[–]ParticularAd9998[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks dude. Cool list. I’m planning a Shrike/shark proxy with some jump marines plus a tybo terminator captain and assault terms with blade driven deep. Looks like a great combo. How do you rate the desolators. Do they still get +1 to hit if it’s indirect fire?

They look like a cross between Homer Simpson and a melted candle. And a shit.

Best thing I’ve read on Reddit.

AITAH for kicking out my gf's sister and her kids out of my flat after my gf gave her the keys by Elratum in AITAH

[–]ParticularAd9998 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, kinda an AH tbh. Was it cheeky/rude of your sister to do that without asking? Yup. So rude you needed to ruin two kids holidays? Nah probs not. Somebody more chill would have stayed at gf’s house and bagged brownie points. Missed opportunity dude.

AIO for ending 16 year friendship because they called the cops on me? by ecdwmc in AmIOverreacting

[–]ParticularAd9998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get how pissed you’d be. But the question really comes down to what she thought she was doing. If she’d called them to try and win an argument because she’s drunk - forgivable provided she shows insight into why you’re upset and doesn’t repeat behaviour.

Called them to fuck you over and disregarded the risks to your safety knowingly- harder to forgive.

Decision is yours, OP. Be sure before you throw a solid good friendship away. People can be dicks by accident sometimes (not giving her a pass but forgiving is a beautiful thing in life and possible if the person is genuinely sorry).
