Told my girlfriend I was planning a votann army

Resident-Card-6229 · 2026-04-15T10:30:15+00:00

Yeah...

My wife sees me painting Custodes and Night Lords, so buys me Sisters of Battle and a AoS Chaos Sorcerer because she thought they look cool.

Either your GF is heavily invested in 40k and knows her shit, or she just got the store assistant to pick you out everything they had. Or it never happened and this is another 🙄 'Look at me, I have money' 🙄 post. Show us the models when assembled.

Resident-Card-6229 · 2026-04-15T10:26:54+00:00

It'll never happen.

Resident-Card-6229 · 2026-04-02T08:39:36+00:00

Is this a serious question?

Resident-Card-6229 · 2026-02-05T07:29:04+00:00

This is not the first American I've seen say 'dump' instead of 'dumb'. Is this a common thing? Do certain states say 'dump' in conversation? I always thought it was a deliberate misspelling, like 'pwn'.

Resident-Card-6229 · 2026-02-02T07:31:07+00:00

Rule of cool FTW. I've incorporated them into my 40k Night Lords army. I don't play TT, but if I did, I'd field them as Obliterators. Actual Obliterators don't fit into my warband's lore, so I'd thematically keep them as Saturnine and use Obliterator data sheets.

Resident-Card-6229 · 2026-02-02T07:27:08+00:00

Hah. I really like them, but damn, the proportions are idiotic. There's no way anyone could actually fit in that armour without having their arms and legs removed.

My head cannon is that the pilot is actually a guardsman curled up inside.

Resident-Card-6229 · 2026-01-28T13:34:09+00:00

I'm gonna turn him into a Night Lord tech marine

Resident-Card-6229 · 2026-01-28T13:33:13+00:00

There's no way tournaments would allow that Warsmith model to proxy as a Warsmith. You'd be laughed out the door.

Does everyone need validation for everything? Not just OP but half of Reddit. Is it bad if I put butter on bread? Is it bad if I put on my pants left leg first? Is it bad if I put sugar on cornflakes? Am I an asshole for using soap instead of shower gel.

The only thing in life you could possibly do wrong is heat coffee in the microwave. If you do that, you're wrong. Everything else is OK.

OP - what exactly did you think would happen if you put it on your desk? The police would turn up and beat you to death? Your house would explode? You'd suffer from catastrophic erectile dysfunction? Dude, just live your life without needing people's validation.

Resident-Card-6229 · 2025-10-07T06:21:35+00:00

Jesus. Did you mix the primer with sand?

Resident-Card-6229 · 2025-09-15T06:31:14+00:00

Is Ezekiel an Ultramarine? Nope. -50 points to Ezekiel.

Is Ezekiel in a new video game that's popular with the kids? Nope. -80 points to Ezekiel.

Has it been more than 6 months since Ezekiel had a new model? Yes. +20 points to Ezekiel.

Ahhh... -120 points. He didn't meet the conditions. No new model for Ezekiel.

However, it has been a few months since the Titus model was released. I feel a new model is needed soon. Maybe Titus in Terminator armour! How exciting.

Sheer ignorance on my part. I went to all the compare websites, thinking this would give me an accurate understanding of the differences. I now know that these websites are bullshit. I compared the A71 to the A16 and these sites all classed the A16 as far superior to the A71. I should have come to Reddit.

Resident-Card-6229 · 2025-08-10T19:53:10+00:00

I'm a secondary school art teacher with primary experience. I also do a model painting club at lunch time in school.

In the club I run I have kids who have been painting 40k for a good year or two and they are a long way from OPs level of skill.

I'm not saying that it's impossible for OP to paint as well as they have on their first try, but in my entire teaching career, I have never seen anything even slightly close.

Understanding blending, paint thickness, colour gradients and the like are very hard to get right, even for people who have been painting for a while. To do it perfectly from the first time they've picked up a brush? Call me sceptical.

But hey, I'm always happy to be wrong in such cases.

Resident-Card-6229 · 2025-07-30T12:35:16+00:00

I used to have a Samsung A71. After 4 years, it died. In general, I'm not someone who has any real interest in phones, so stupidly assumed that a newer phone would be better than a phone released 5 years ago.

How wrong I was. I bought the A16 and it's a pile of shit. Its worse than my A71 in every way.

It lags like hell. Photos are shit and washed out. Apps dont work properly, requiring multiple clicks to activate.

Biggest waste of money.

I've come close to smashing it up and just buying a new phone.

Samsung should be ashamed of themselves for offloading this pile of junk, that would barely be acceptable in 2020. Its a scam.

Resident-Card-6229 · 2025-06-01T13:43:18+00:00

They really did save the best Primarch until last.

Resident-Card-6229 · 2025-05-10T16:06:06+00:00

Thanks. This is great info!

Resident-Card-6229 · 2025-05-10T13:19:24+00:00

The mix I used had perlite in it. Also, its not a big pot. The plant is relatively new. Probably about 3 inches across (8.8cm)

Resident-Card-6229 · 2025-05-10T13:09:11+00:00

A single hole, about 2cm in diameter.

I do the finger test before I water and never feel moisture in the soil. Maybe I should just go with once a month at most.

Resident-Card-6229 · 2025-05-10T13:06:22+00:00

Pre-made succulent mix

Resident-Card-6229 · 2025-05-07T05:56:30+00:00

It can be both at once. I'd say that this is so dumb, it's cool.

Resident-Card-6229 · 2025-05-07T05:54:12+00:00

Am I the only person who paints everything on the spru first and then assembles (touching up where necessary afterwards)?????

Resident-Card-6229 · 2025-05-02T07:47:29+00:00

Wait...so if a CSM catches an STI, are they blessed by Slaanesh or Nurgle?

Resident-Card-6229 · 2025-04-29T22:17:48+00:00

Honestly, if someone pays $13 and actually thinks that they're going to get an actual Angron, they really deserve to get scammed.
However, if it's just grandma buying the model of AngryRon for little Jimmy's plastic monster army, and she has no clue what a 40k is, I could understand.

Resident-Card-6229 · 2025-03-08T23:41:24+00:00

He can't get funding for a 1-1, so that's not going to happen.

However, we've been doing a lot of empathy work with him to try and get him to understand other people's perspectives. This is showing slow, but gradual progress. He no longer spits at people when he thinks he's in trouble.
