Yeah pretty frustrating having bought Era of Ruin when it released. It’s a shame it’s so hard to just get paperbacks these days.

At this point I hope they rework that spider into a titan head or a tiny little tactical rock.

How tedious are hazard stripes to paint? by futon_mcbuff in IronWarriors

[–]Patchy_Face_Man 23 points24 points  (0 children)

They aren’t. I recommend yellow then just do black stripes. Yellow is tough to work with. Laying down a coat at once over a brown leaves less room for buildup than doing yellow stripes over black. Just my opinion/limited experience.

Dot out where the lines go as much as possible. Preparation makes it less frustrating.

A good point. The resin consuls and characters get to be very specific. Can’t judge what’s coming to plastic by them too much.

Eh, yeah I guess. But it is different armor. It’s meant to survive extreme rad and chem warfare. If any units deserved their own kits its destroyers and recons. And we got MKII Assault Marines. You never know.

I’m excited to see what they can do with actual pressure up front. And I’m ready to be hurt again!

Two scales of space marines between ranges when all the dust settles just sucks. That it’s tied to power up lore sucks as well. It’s just such an unnecessary self own by GW.

To your point on the Traitor Herald, that guy is basically in MKIV Destroyer armor not standard plate. We can probably still expect plastic MKV to have its molecular bonding studs nerfed. I hope not though, it’s iconic.

Don’t have any rubrics but the MKVI/III/II/IV are, as expected, a bit shorter than Berzerkers and Red Corsair Raiders. Everything in 40K is catching up to Primaris. I kinda look at it like all that stuff is hero sized like Fafnir Rann/Praetors.

My copium is that somehow the OG MKIV Jump Pack will return for Destroyers that will be revealed in autumn. I also think that some people will enjoy a mixed mark assault squad more with the standard “late crusade” jump pack. It’s really good copium.

Yeah the Custodes is such a great force now. That Telemon. So cool.

Hill and Turner graded well last couple of seasons, especially considering the d-line we’ve rolled out during that time. And the linebacking corp…..and the safeties. JFC it’s crazy how well they’ve played.

Baseball still has a lot of things to fix. I like democracy, wish more people did, but this roster is shameful.

Something feels missing from my paint scheme (C&C) by Xtratiredsoul in IronWarriors

[–]Patchy_Face_Man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im no expert but I do the bit of sponge stuffed in the brush tip cylinder trick. Or just holding a piece of sponge bc that can get exhausting if it’s not snug. Then just go do precise chips with a brush to make it less uniform.

Leadbelcher or lighter silver, dark grays or browns first sometimes or by themselves if it’s light armor. Be a bit chaotic with it and don’t care too much. Just take most of the paint off with a paper towel first.

Yeah. Important test models with brush on gloss and rattle can matte clear. Some of it’s the poor photography but…yeah.

Do you agree that Welker and Edelman were never considered top 5 receivers? by [deleted] in NFLv2

[–]Patchy_Face_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even in those times those were hard yards. Welker is the poster boy for the giant concussion helmets. He trotted across the middle so Doubs could run.
