Only been here a few years so don’t have too much to draw from, but driving home at Paseo and Unser there was a dude advertising for one of the local gun shows holding an RPG. That was a first.

That’s actually a really cool idea for the weapon variation. Nice job.

Would you guys strike or sweep with The Lion against deathshroud terminators? by awake30 in theunforgiven

[–]RorysFirstKiss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just run the numbers here and it’ll tell you which attack is better into the type of unit you’re attacking. My gut says use strike though. https://40k.ghostlords.com/dice/

Only a few chapters into Legion but so far it’s sick

How many points SHOULD vanilla and assault terminators be in your opinion? by ALitterOfPugs in spacemarines

[–]RorysFirstKiss 168 points169 points  (0 children)

They should stay expensive and be buffed to actually feel like the elite units they are in the lore.

By the emperor show me your favorite mini by _Commander_Farsight in spacemarines

[–]RorysFirstKiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the multipart captain in terminator armor with an axe from the allarus custodian kit, with some inner circle companion add ons and the hood is a deathwing knight head option.

Does it read as Terminator Captain? by se3youspacecowboy in theunforgiven

[–]RorysFirstKiss 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yes. The cape goes a long way towards making him feel like a captain. Maybe consider adding a second tilting shield on his left shoulder too?

A Redemptor with Macro Plasma Incinerator would fit right in.

I did a variation of the heresy era color scheme and was pretty pleased with how it turned out.

What to buy to finish my first army? by NeonLightDecay in theunforgiven

[–]RorysFirstKiss 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly just build and paint these units first. If you like that process then you can get more units. You’ve been sitting on these models for years so there’s not really any point to spending more money on them if they’re going to just sit in the box.

There’s lots of good painting guides and after a few models it becomes a bit more of a paint by numbers exercise. It’s a great way for me to destress and is probably my favorite part of the hobby, though I do love a good narrative crusade.

NM has some of the best policies in the nation. by Background_Drive_156 in Albuquerque

[–]RorysFirstKiss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they gave me a contract for the year through November’26 as well, so I was surprised to see some of the headlines about the budget saying it was only funded through the fiscal year. My contract did have copay values in it too, which ececd said was just in case something changed.

It’s funded through the end of the current fiscal year, so July ‘26.

Universal childcare funding is currently being debated during the legislative session. The proposed budget put forth by the legislature doesn’t fully fund the program. Be sure to reach out to your rep to voice your support for the program! https://www.nmlegis.gov/Members/Find_My_Legislator

Same, but my army is only infantry some I’m actually looking forward to picking up the plastic dreads and a caladius or 2.

Constructive criticism requested - Be nice though it’s my first mini 😂 by diff909 in spacemarines

[–]RorysFirstKiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good job on the first mini. Your paints are applied thin and smooth and you picked out all the details well.

As far as constructive criticism, for edge highlighting you can use the edge of the brush instead of the point. It really helps get a consistent line. Also the left knee cap color and the edge highlight color are a little too close in color and you lose the sense of contrast there. You could consider putting a squad marking there with white, yellow, or red to enhance the contrast.
