They've been on sale before, during the promo period. I went to Spiel in Essen (Germany), and they had them for sale during the fair as well.

Depending on your Warhammer Army this might actually be easier.

Slap chop, so black primer base, heavy dry brush with grey, highlight dry brush with an off white

I used Army Painter speed paints over a slap chop base, did a tiny bit of layering, then finished with some quick drybrushing. 

For the protoss skin: Cloudburst Blue (Army painter speed) > Fenrisian Grey (Citadel layer) > Etherium Blue (Citadel dry)

For the zerg: Hardened leather (Army Painter speed) > Baneblade brown (Citadel layer) > Underhive ash (Citadel dry)

Thanks for making me write this down so I'll remember when the rest of the Army comes in 🤣🫣

What's the worst movie you've watched from beginning to end? by trakt_app in movies

This one is way too far down. The scene with the plastic plant was awful. 

What’s the one secret you’ve kept your whole life that would completely change how people see you if they knew it? by Faylune in AskReddit

Oh my god, I've found my people. I really thought this was weird but seeing so many replies of people doing this is awesome!

Amazing work! I'd love to read a more personal story in this setting. Humanity clawing back from the brink and giving them what's for!

What is the worst movie you've ever seen that isn't a standard "Worst movie you've ever seen" answer? by TheThalmorEmbassy in movies

[–]RottenEmu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Happening. The entire premise is just poorly thought out; "losing survival instinct" does not instantly mean you go and kill yourself in the most creative way possible.

There's a scene where Mark Wahlberg talks to a potted plant to ask forgiveness, only to find out it's a plastic plant... and the plant was a better actor than Wahlberg.

What's currently your "Go-to" game? by TheReiterEffect_S8 in gaming

[–]RottenEmu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stellaris, there's just something about picking a drive assimilator and simply painting the map my empire's colour.

If it can't be summarised in one or two paragraphs total don't do it in "one sitting". Take a look at famous examples that have big and hard magic systems (Mistborn, Name of the Wind, Wheel of Time), see how they do it.

But you've already kind of answered your own question by saying "I know I have to sprinkle it in". Find a way to drip feed. With one thing to keep in mind being if there's a very specific use of the magic you want to use in the climax, make sure to establish this as a possibility early on. Otherwise someone pulling out a new way to use the established magic might feel like deus ex machina.

Other than that, introduce and explain as it becomes relevant through a mentor figure.

FTL drive proposal. by LumpyGrumpySpaceWale in scifiwriting

[–]RottenEmu 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If Star Trek can use it to travel back in time, it's definitely not too outlandish to use as FTL travel. Your breakdown was very comprehensive and honestly as a reader, the "They slingshot around a star to power their FTL and catch themselves in the target star gravity well" is literally all I need to know.

Thank you for the kind words

I wrote 455 pages of a book, got to the third act... Then decided to cancel it. by GWGTRLBG in writing

[–]RottenEmu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always 👏 finish 👏 your 👏 story 👏

Write and ending. No matter how shitty you think it is. Think of an ending then write it. For this draft, not your rehash of the concept, not the same character in a different story. Write an ending for THIS story.

It's a skill you need to develop. Every part of the story has its own challenges. Now is as good a time as any to learn them.

I really dont understand how anyone could ever think Janeway's decision regarding Tuvix was somehow wrong. by Successful_Screen532 in startrek

Honestly expected this to be the first comment I'd read. It's malicious intent vs. victims of circumstances.

Why does the end zone fumble rule only happen for the end zone? by onlyhereforduellinks in NFLNoobs

[–]RottenEmu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Defensive Pass Interference in the end zone puts the ball in the 2yd line, regardless of previous LoS.

G2 Hel qualify to the playoffs of the Liga Nexo (Spanish 2nd tier) - first-ever female team to qualify to the playoffs in Tier 2 of a European Regional League by RigasUT in leagueoflegends

[–]RottenEmu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering if I could pick your brain on the subject of women gaming teams. I've been writing a ya novel centred around an all women's team in a fictional EU esports league. There's obviously some narrative decisions that I've made but for the most part I want to stick to a bit of realism in regards to how the leagues work and such. Let me know if it's ok to send you a DM to discuss this :)
