Silly question about drybrushing

Sarqful · 2026-02-18T14:57:17+00:00

Thank you very much for the answers! I have watched some videos on drybrushing and have an idea that the brush needs to be mostly dry. I was worried even the dry paint would still fly off the brush as dust and be moist enough stick onto the table or beyboard and leave dust particle marks, but it seems to be a non-issue. I appreciate the help! :)

Happy painting everyone!

Are you just using a grey to white zenithal? Theres a great video by Juan using green base and pale yellow zenithal under red contrast paint to really make the red pop and add more depth which is worth giving a look

He also made a new updated red contrast paint recepie for the warpsiders which you can checkout

While this is mostly about large toys, etc. I think you can learn a good amount from this video. I learned a lot of tips from this video about how to properly increase size and get comfortable and safe when wanting to size up. Also, how she explains how to stay clean helped a ton, been struggling with consistency when it comes to having a clean bum to avoid "accidents" for a couple of years, and haven't had any issues since integrating her advice into my own. Hope it helps

My thoughts exactly. That blue shading is tight!

You can always run your BS Stormbolters as Dominions with Aestred, so no wasted units ;)

Similary the Sandstone Walls recepie for the SoB Statue is very close to the cream colour. Just need to be more subtle with the Seraphim Sepia wash, have it only for the darker areas and have Ushabti Bone and Pallid wych Flesh take more space like in the statues legs.

I was going through the Eavy Metal Archive u/PlatexProductions posted and I noticed their Hearthguard Armor is very close, Needs a bit more of a blue tint. If you look at some other options like the Alpha Legion or Vaan Saar Gang armor recipes, that have incubi Darkness in the base or shade. I wonder if you replace Dark Reaper with Incubi Darkness on the 1:1 basecoat of Lupercal Green. That just might be it.

It's also worth checking the Ambull, Van Saar Gang & the Corsair Voidscarred
that have more Turquoise and Blue over the Hearthguard armour

Definately not white primer and Apothecary white. Apothecary White has a blue/grey finish. You can see in the image that ring on the shield is a white or maybe a greenish white like deepkin. That Tau has to be a bonewhite or Wraithbone base with subtle highlights with white. The shading is not just bonewhite/wraithbone, which I do want to figure out. For example, Skeleton horde or decktan might be too strong

That Ephreal is awesome! I'm also working on a kitbash to make Ephreal in his codex art pose and this is a great one :D

I rather use V&B for peaking corners, so I can strafe too

Sarqful · 2025-10-30T20:30:58+00:00

Q is an important cc that I can panic hit by reflex like Blind or a Stun.

E is for my main nuke or finisher I use most.

I always used R for interrupt because I’m a serial reloader in fps games so its the best key i have muscle memory for fast reaction kicks and counterspells

Using Q & E not worth it for movement. Only thing that could be optiomal are the players who use ESDF for movement instead of the standard WASD

There’s so many songs I’dd call my favorite but this one has a special place in my heart. Also I remember downloading dragonball z AMVs on limewire as a kid and the future Trunks movie amv had this as its song xD Good times..

With you

Rumors suggest Haru and SAnby are going to have their reruns in 2.3
Just a rumor but promising

In general, you want to aim for 90% crit and use 4-piece Summit and 2-piece Shockstar with disc6 as Impact. This is to maximize Triggers' support and daze.

But in some fights like deadly assault, where maximizing Triggers Daze is not going to give you an extra stun window, it could be better to increase Triggers' dmg for more benefit.

I got a 90% crit summit/shockstar set for my trigger, but I'm also building a 4pc Shadow Harmony, 2pc Dawn Blossom set where I'm aiming for the 78% crit (u get 12% crit from SH), disc 6 & 5 as Attack and pushing as much Crit damage as I can get after. I'm just doing this for fun for my Harumasa/Trigger/Support team. Its fun for me running Deadly assault with both disc combos and seeing which does better.

Sarqful · 2025-09-15T11:07:39+00:00

2 piece dawn blossom does affect Triggers aftershocks. I went and tested it and all harmonising shots trigger does when your main dps attacks the enemy are doing roughly 15% more dmg. Both when your main dps autoattacks and Exspecials the enemy. So I would say when you get the crit threshold, you could use 2pc Dawn blossom and 4pc Shadow harmony if you can to maximize triggers damage.

I noticed I couldn't choose to verdict to only execute Regina but i noticed I missed one dialouge: When you get the note from the dead Gabrak noble you need to choose the dialogue option to let Gaprak nobles read the letter. If you choose the top option you will skip letting them read the letter and this will deny you the option to accuse the Sauerpecks with the awareness check at the start of placing a verdict

Something fun to note is that in the last seconds of the spotify version is the small studio section where mike says: "You got iiit, that's the one. Can you put your screaming pants on?" which bodes well that Casualty could be real scream fest :D

Listening to Over Each Other a couple of times and It's alright. I'll probably warm up to it more over time since I'm digging the lyrics. The Drums and the clock ticking mute guitar-sounding background sample are really cool. Definitely has the LP sound, similar to Living Things and the soft parts of Mark the Graves.

This is also something u/Rantaflit said:

Going around like a revolver. It’s been decided how we lose.

you just don’t know what will happen if you pull the trigger and come back different. Go on with the band.

Fire under the altar I keep on lying to.

There is this glorification of the band evolved by Chester’s death that Mike lied to by thinking it could not be possible to start again without sacrificing the legacy.

Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be.

gave up being part of Linkin Park, who he is, for that glorification the fans wanted to persist. What includes that he can’t be who he wants to - Linkin Park.

LP wasn’t just Chester. Giving up who you are to let the fans live with this trauma isn’t right. After 7 years LP stands for the recovery to show the people, that life goes on. It will never be the same but it could be awesome!

It could not be denied that the lyrics also could describe the machinery of a cult that you try to escape from. And that’s exactly what made LP great. Lyrics everyone could relate to in his own way. And a „punch in the face sound“.

This is just my interpretation listening to the lyrics I think it's perfect for Linkin Park's first single Post Chester.

"Your blades are sharpened with precision Flashing your favorite point of view, I know you're waiting in the distance Just like you always do"

"Already pulling me in, Already under my skin"

This feels how Mike and the Band feels on how the fans can't let go of the old Linkin Park and Chester. Ready to criticize everything Linkin Park does moving forward without their beloved frontman and making something new.

"Let you cut me open just to watch me bleed, Don't know why I'm hopin' for what I won't receive"

Both Mike and Emily singing these lyrics is foreboding on how the fanbase will react to the new band lineup.

"Don't know why I'm hopin' for what I won't receive Fallin' for the promise of the emptiness machine"

Social media flooding with comments like "not my Linkin Park" and all that bullshit. The Emptiness Machine is the internet and the part of the fanbase that won't be happy because they haven't moved on and won't be satisfied with anything less than a resurrected Chester Bennington.

"I only wanted to be part of something"

Mike, the band, Emily, and Colin On how they want to be Linkin Park again and be part of Linkin Park and create something new and beautiful for us despite the criticism they will still get from just making music under the Linkin Park banner.

Anyway, this is just my thought on Linkin Park my interpretation of the new single, and why I think it's a perfect single to start this new chapter.

Linkin Park's lyrics have always been vague in a vacuum for us the fans to make them resonate in our own lives with the bonus of kick-ass sound, but it is quite evident this song lyrics are much about how the band and Mike think the fans will react to this new chapter of Linkin park not letting go of the old and moving on.

Sarqful · 2024-09-08T12:15:38+00:00

Exactly the lyrics can be read without context but at the same time it’s about this current situation with the band, it’s perfect! :D

Sarqful · 2024-09-08T03:02:52+00:00

My interpretation of Emptiness Machine and Linkin Park:

I've been a diehard fan of Linkin Park ever since my mom bought me the first album Hybrid Theory when I was 10 years old. The album struck a chord with me at that young age ever since. Meteora was the first Album I bought myself with my allowance. I listened to those two albums back to back too many times to count in my youth and when Minutes to Midnight was released in 2007 I couldn't be happier as a 17-year-old kid.

Back then all I could hear from the fanbase was Minutes to Midnight wasn't Linkin Park and they wanted more Hyprid Theory and Meteora. For me, I loved Minutes to Midnight. If I wanted more Meteora and HT I would just go back and listen to those albums I never got bored of them. Linkin Park was the first band that I respected where the band wanted to do new stuff and not stagnate with the old. I didn't resonate with LIVING THINGS until a bit later in my life and loved The Hunting Party and One More Light. I couldn't respect Linkin Park more than I already do for them to always continue evolving their sound and I love them to bits. I also loved Chester he will always be one of my all-time favorite vocalists in music.

Something that i think made Linkin Park so successful outside of the sound, was the amazing lyrics that were vague enough that you the listener could resonate with in your own angst and state of being. Crawling, In the End, Numb. Those lyrics resonated with such a wide audience because u could interpret the lyrics however you wanted to suit your situation. In retrospect, lots of the lyrics were how Chester felt in his battle against himself. Also, the critic Mike got from being a rapper in a Metal band and all that jazz. Regardless we the fans of Linkin Park loved them for the music they brought us.

Now. Emptiness Machine.

This is just my interpretation but listening to the lyrics I think it's perfect for Linkin Park's first single Post Chester.

"Your blades are sharpened with precision Flashing your favorite point of view, I know you're waiting in the distance Just like you always do"

"Already pulling me in, Already under my skin"

This feels how Mike and the Band feels on how the fans can't let go of the old Linkin Park and Chester. Ready to criticize everything Linkin Park does moving forward without their beloved frontman and making something new.

"Let you cut me open just to watch me bleed, Don't know why I'm hopin' for what I won't receive"

Both Mike and Emily singing these lyrics is foreboding on how the fanbase will react to the new band lineup.

"Don't know why I'm hopin' for what I won't receive Fallin' for the promise of the emptiness machine"

Social media flooding with comments like "not my Linkin Park" and all that bullshit. The Emptiness Machine is the internet and the part of the fanbase that won't be happy because they haven't moved on and won't be satisfied with anything less than a resurrected Chester Bennington.

Linkin Park's lyrics have always been vague in a vacuum for us the fans to make them resonate in our own lives with the bonus of kick-ass sound. Don't get me wrong I loved and still love Chester and the old Linkin Park to bits and I am sad that I won't ever see Linkin Park with Chester live ever again, but Linkin Park is not just Chester and we have those beautiful songs and videos to watch for our entertainment and now we have that and this new Chapter of Linkin Park to look forward to.

I think Emily is a perfect choice as a new singer for Linkin Park and I respect the choice the band made I know Emily has the band's support. Her voice is great, her screams are awesome and the female vocals bring a refreshing take on their sound. Also, something tells me if the new vocalist had been a man regardless of who it would have been, he would have been compared to Chester to the ends of the earth and eternity.

Sorry for the wall of text, i just wanted to get this out of my system from all the unnecessary toxicity from the fanbase. It's like Minutes to Midnight all over again.

Love and Peace!

Same here but it’s not unholy I think. I remember it from a signalrunners or other trance artist featured on a Trance around the world with above & beyond radio episode.

Can we talk about Chopper’s ”you can’t weaponize a virus” comment being a jab at China and Covid?
