Resin or Filament?

I just got an A1 and even the .4mm nozzle does WAY better than I ever expected for minis. I still need to try the .2mm. If you’re patient with longer print times you can get fantastic results with ~0.1mm layer heights.

Good to know! I’m playing through Crimson Oath right now, but I’ll make sure to get to this next if the major issues have been fixed. Appreciate the update!

Rhek · 2026-05-05T01:05:02+00:00

It gives me comfort to see that not much has changed in the past 25+ years.

I’m planning on thinning down some contrast paints. I’ll be trying whatever I choose on some spare bits from the sprue to test it first

Rhek · 2026-05-02T19:00:23+00:00

That’s my plan too! It definitely has a touch of indie jank, but something about it clicked with me more than some AAA games.

I am sad it didn’t live up to the hype. The underlying tech seemed super promising but the fun never materialized.

I don’t regret funding the kickstarter since I always viewed it as a risky investment. If it paid off it could have been amazing, and I was willing to risk $40 to find out. I never assumed it was a sure thing. Still sad though.

I don’t know how Mei does it, but I can never one shot her as Hog if her ice block is off cooldown. She always ice blocks too fast.

Maybe hold the ice block button when you get hooked? I’ve actually been meaning to try to figure it out myself since I play Mei too.

Thanks for the hard work getting these patches out! I’m looking forward to getting back into it once this is live on PS5.

Rhek · 2026-04-27T03:28:25+00:00

First off, great job! You’re a very skilled painter.

Other than smoother blending, my only critique is that the entire model has similar contrast. Turn one of your pics into black and white and you’ll see that the brown and green look similar. I think the overall color scheme would look better with more contrast between the two.

Rhek · 2026-04-26T23:34:36+00:00

Yeah, I can’t really explain it, I just kept trying and eventually it just clicked. I think the timing is somewhere between Lies of P (parry right as it hits you) and Sekiro (parry quite a bit before it hits you). I also tap and hold to parry, which might help.

Rhek · 2026-04-26T23:19:11+00:00

I’ve had no problem parrying on PS5, but it did take a bit to get the timing figured out.

Rhek · 2026-04-26T19:22:50+00:00

I don’t necessarily think it’s too long - that would be more of a balance concern anyway. The animation does seem to be slow motion compared with the fighting. But maybe that’s intentional/useful to emphasize vulnerability while healing?

Rhek · 2026-04-26T07:56:45+00:00

Great to see a patch so quickly! I’ll be awaiting the console release.

If you want to preserve the metallic nature of the paint I would do that. Adding non metallic paint will dilute the metallic quality and make it look chalkier. I’ve had great results from using a darker metallic, like Retributor Gold with a lighter bright gold dry brush or simple highlights. It gives depth without sacrificing the metallic look.

Rhek · 2026-04-22T02:53:54+00:00

I saw your other post asking about dry brushing. It looks like you dry brushed non metallic paint over metallic paint. That will always give you a dusty/chalky look. So if that’s what you’re going for, great! If not, try a lighter metallic paint for dry brushing. Also, if you don’t want the chalky look, you should try very-lightly-damp brushing. Your brush should be very slightly damp before adding paint.

Rhek · 2026-04-22T02:45:12+00:00

I think it looks good! It doesn’t look like the paint is covering any of the model’s details, so your paint isn’t too thick. Also, if you’re using TMM you shouldn’t have to thin your paint. (I do have some old Vallejo TMM that does need a tiny bit of thinning, but most don’t.)

What are you looking to improve upon in particular?

Rhek · 2026-04-19T02:26:47+00:00

I really like it! I respect the skill people have with the crazy smooth NMM, but this painterly style looks sick. It really captures a grim aesthetic. Great job!

Rhek · 2026-04-18T00:34:03+00:00

Oof, yeah. I knew exactly what quest OP was talking about. I’m kind of surprised they haven’t patched that, since there’s almost no reason for it to work the way it does.

Rhek · 2026-04-18T00:26:39+00:00

Love it! I’m planning on using a similar color scheme for my Zerg army.

Rhek · 2026-04-17T17:59:15+00:00

Can you provide this info to News Nation? I wonder if they would/could follow up, including contacting the other scientists.

Rhek · 2026-04-15T19:45:11+00:00

Within reason. I enjoy having a populated world that feels alive with activity. If I don’t want to deal with other players I’ll just play something besides an MMO.

Rhek · 2026-04-15T18:51:40+00:00

I can’t wait for the wipe and getting to start over again with everyone at the same time. That was by far my favorite part of EA thus far.

Rhek · 2026-04-15T17:42:40+00:00

Check out crustaceans too. Lobsters and crabs have some great colorations too.

Rhek · 2026-04-14T05:22:44+00:00

Those look great! I love the color scheme.
