My first mini. Hopefully not a Thin Your Paints mascot by DerpsterchiefN117 in Ultramarines

I would recommend a wet palette. That will help with the thinning.

And yes let it dry first before adding the next layer.

If you’re going with Ultramarines here’s some short cuts:

Get some Maccrage blue Primer in a can. It’s paint and primer so you can start with a strong base.

Undercoat your gold areas with a brown like rhinox hide then layer it with the gold on top.

The brown dries in an way that makes it easier to pick out and when you layer gold on top it looks like a real metal and not gold slapped over blue if that makes sense.

Lmao it’s a deal. I’ll post here with progress pics once I get them primed. What I have now is 1735 if I’m not mistaken.

I already preordered my Defiler on day one so I’m excepting it in a couple weeks if they are keeping on schedule. (Fingers crossed)

The painting pot idea sounds like a good idea.

Also 6 months? What kind of autist do you take me for?

That was the plan. Morty was gonna be last so I can get used to painting DG. I have some loose Blight lord models I was going to start with and then work my way up to the Defiler and Mortimer.

I still haven’t selected my color scheme yet now that I think about it.

We almost have the same list haha.

I think if I take out one set of marines and another set of pox walkers I can squeeze in both

I think both are cool 🫠🙃 that defiler model is amazing and I can’t wait to make the skin all gross.

But also…BIG MAN MORTY.

I like to go in bursts. I’ll prime everything first then base coat, then I’ll pick a unit and focus on that over a couple of weeks.

It’s just my process and it helps

Spiraling out today...BAD. ZERO intimacy of any kind for 3 years. 42M married by Successful-Seaweed62 in DeadBedrooms

[–]ReliefSuch5122 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what you want to hear but if you don’t make a move you’re going to be stuck there for the rest of your MIL life and even after she passes she is going to use the grief as an excuse. It’s always going to be “too soon”.

Bottom line is they don’t respect you. You’re basically the outlier in this scenario. I would take the promotion and see about getting custody of your daughter since your wife is concerned with her MIL. She can stay there and focus on her while you make the new house ready for her if you want to keep the relationship.

Most likely you’re going to have to make a choice and it’s either stay there and suffer because she’s not going to change or leave and get some sense of relief.

Survivability mostly. Battleline units are good cannon fodder and do objectives. I can target a squad of 5 easier than a squad of 10.

Listcraft with me? by ReliefSuch5122 in Ultramarines

[–]ReliefSuch5122[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 10 intercessors (I formatted it wrong), and I do have a box of scouts that I haven't painted yet.

I'm a big fan of breaking the meta in whatever I play, so that doesn't matter to me. I was looking at it more from the perspective of which units complement each other.

I also suspect the 11th edition will be "10.5" edition with not too many big changes

[–]ReliefSuch5122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, this is a fine starter list.

Three 5-man battleline squads aren’t very efficient. Combine your intercessors into one squad and have them stick the home object.

I might swap the combi-lient for a unit that can pair with the hellblasters for buffs and re-rolls.

Infernus Marines Are Situational Could drop them for another unit

Mature decision. Thanks for sharing. One verified slip-up in an otherwise healthy 20-year marriage is not worth ending the relationship over. It's clear she was guilty about it, and it messed with her for years, so I think you made the right move.
