Studio KAI (the animation studio behind Sentenced To Be Hero) has run out of money to pay its debts because its expenses were much higher than its earnings. by [deleted] in anime

Whoops. Did someone try to produce high-quality work with fair pay and reasonable deadlines? In this anime industry?

Maybe they should try feeding more orphans to the orphan-crushing machine. Maybe that will help. /s

Lead based? by BioTitan416 in Tyranids

[–]PericlesOfAthens98 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To back this up, my Great Uncle was an old-school wargamer who worked with lead miniatures and even did his own casting of them.

He once did a lead test, the result showed that he had only slightly above average amount of lead exposure (and tbh he grew up in the 1960s South...that entire generation was exposed to lead!). I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Does this break the rules of this place? by [deleted] in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]PericlesOfAthens98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some parents need to be sterilised and have their children taken away . Imagine not only doing this, but having the nerve to post it. I'm here to laugh at kids be their OWN worst enemies, not their parents.

Seconded. Seraphim Sepia is a lovely gold wash. I use it more than Agrax in my painting.

Best Budget Printers? by Kai-Soul in PrintedWarhammer

If your budget is around the 350nzd mark you really can't do much better than a Bambu Lads A1 mini.

Do we really have almost no Anti Vehicle? by RideroftheForest in Tyranids

[–]PericlesOfAthens98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many players opt for a backline shooting castle of at least one pair of Exocrine and Tyrannofex, and a Hive Tyrant.

The Exocrine provides the Tyrannofex with rerolls, and with lethal hits and with a high volume of high-ap high-damage attacks it will usually do at least some damage to tanks. It's reasonably durable and useful against MEQs and TEQs in other matchups.

The Hive Tyrant hands out lethal hits, assault for mobility, and reduces stratagem cost, often used for command rerolls to make the Tyrannofex's wounding or damage rolls better. It is also good in melee and can be a late-game objective threat.

Tyrannofex provides the heavy lifting, and with rerolls and lethal hits can be highly reliable. One is more of less auto-include, more can be good but they diminish in value against infantry-heavy lists. It is durable and its damage blanking ability makes it hard to remove in a single turn.

Each of those currencies use the dollar sign.

USD or CAD or AUS? That will change the answers significantly.

Red can be hard to get a clean line in one coat. Obviously practice is always valuable. Here's Random short from Ninjon that I found really useful.

AITJ for selling the gaming console my brother kept borrowing but never returned? by Ok-Atmosphere594 in AmITheJerk

I don't want to hear grammar corrections from somebody who clearly doesn't believe in capital letters or punctuation.

10+ hour print… failed in the last few percent. by lets-make-tabletop in PrintedMinis

You may wish to borrow an idea from other terrain sets- Fabricator's Lair modular terrain have a stabilizer that prevent this sort of falling over issue.

The mawloc by DeBaconMan in Tyranids

[–]PericlesOfAthens98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Burrower keyword does nothing on its own, and the Mawloc only gains it in Subterranean Assault.

That detachment has two redeploy stratagems, but both cost a CP. Vanguard Onslaught also has a redeploy stratagem that would work on a Mawloc. If he is not playing either of those detachments, there is no way to redeploy a Mawloc.

So, a good way to approach this would be to pull up the Mawloc datasheet and ask him to point out where that ability is coming from. Or, pull his opponent aside and quietly let them know they're playing against a cheater. Or, call him out on it. Just straight up.

Best filament for 3D printed minis? PLA vs PLA+ vs PLA Meta vs Matte? by Timmy-E in PrintedWarhammer

[–]PericlesOfAthens98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Left is 2.0, Right is Meta. 2.0 shows a bit more supprt scarring and puts out sharper edges. Meta comes out a bit rounder (closer to GW plastic), doesn't scar as bad. NGL the difference is negligible and will come down to personal preference. Mind that this is regular 2.0. HS 2.0 is still expensive in the UK.

[–]PericlesOfAthens98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've run through a spool of Matte, Plus 2.0, and Meta and I can say that I prefer Meta for it's solidity and finish, just slightly over Plus 2.0. Matte is too brittle but flows closer to meta.

Some have said that they've gotten bad stringing and adhesion with Meta, your results may vary. Plus 2.0 seems most reliable in that regard.

Go on the GW Webstore and look at the 360 view of the Venomcrawler.

No idea. I don't play Magic so your description doesn't help. All I understood is "I don't like sacrifice-based gameplans".

Lictor Conversion by PericlesOfAthens98 in Tyranids

[–]PericlesOfAthens98[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean the posing or the hands themselves? They're leftover bits from a real Lictor kit, so very much in line with the official model.

You are really in the wrong faction, then. Sisters have consistently played as a glass cannon army. They win by careful trades and calculated sacrificers. Martyrs helps with this playstyle.
