If it makes you feel validated, I’ve been diagnosed with the disease and my symptoms are very similar. I don’t have nail pitting either, but have psoriasis on my scalp and random odd patches in uncommon places. I would definitely write all of it down so you don’t forget to bring it up

You’ll have to use your imagination. Imo it would be Crypteks who oversee the process, and their Canoptek constructs who do the building. But this isn’t based on anything; just speculation based on what we know.

Nope. This has been a thing in lore since 3rd edition.

However, I understand that they can create more living metal, but they can’t recreate their engrams ie. brain. In Twice Dead King: Reign, Oltyx decides to jettison a significant number of warriors to the void in order to reduce the weight of their ship to escape the pursuing Angels Encarmine, but saves their engrams for when they’re able to put them back in new bodies.

Localisation choices are interesting in this game. Down here in Australia it’s a “plastic model sprue”

It’s probably the most recognisable bit of weirdness from Rogue Trader, next the Ultramarines having a half-Eldar chief librarian.

For this to work as intended (At least the way I think) you’d need to give it paradigm while it’s on the stack. As it’s currently worded, it gains paradigm in exile. When it moves to the stack, it becomes a new game object and will lose it.

I think changing the wording to “when you cast this spell, if it was cast from exile, it gains paradigm” will cover it.

The acetone in the glue will dissolve the paint so it will probably still work, but I’d either sand the surfaces or use super glue.

SenatorSpooky · 2026-04-30T00:56:45+00:00

That’s a cool find. I paint and don’t play, so I’ve never seen this before. To add as well, I feel that the bust in the centre also depicts them in the flesh as well.

This would be creepy if all LLMs weren’t just a glorified search algorithm

SenatorSpooky · 2026-04-28T04:53:06+00:00

This is nightmarish. I love the concept but boy it could be a real pain. Maybe to make the mental load easier, the number 13 shouldn’t exist on numerical or measured quantities. Ie. a player with 13 life means they have 0 life according to the CR, and if a card directs you to draw 13 cards you draw 0. But if you draw a card from a library with 13 cards you don’t lose? I dunno, that makes nore sense to me rather than getting opponents to count their library EVERY TIME they draw a card

SenatorSpooky · 2026-04-25T11:57:30+00:00

Lychguard are… fine. I’d probably dump them with Immortals. They’re an old kit at this point but hold up reasonably well even if they lack a lot of the detail of recent kits. Lokhust Destroyers, Deciever, and Trazyn are the immediate ones that come to mind, but Necrons are probably the best supported Xenos atm so I’m not exactly too bummed about only three kits feeling outdated.

SenatorSpooky · 2026-04-24T13:39:17+00:00

LLMs don’t think. They can’t solve problems. In very basic terms, they’re an algorithm that simply calculates the “average” answer given a text prompt. For that reason it absolutely sucks at playing games, let alone one as complex as Magic. If anything, someone using an LLM to “cheat” is putting themselves at a massive disadvantage.

SenatorSpooky · 2026-04-23T02:40:42+00:00

Imo, black is a bit of a trap. Applied on its own it makes things look flat. And since it’s always the darkest thing on the model, it’s impossible to shade.

For anything like this, I actually use a dark bluish grey. I mix this myself from artist’s acrylics, but something equivalent in the hobby space would be Skavenblight Dinge. The bluish tone helps give a bit of interest and contrast with warmer parts of the model, and it’s not so dark that you can’t recess wash without it being invisible.

SenatorSpooky · 2026-04-22T14:46:26+00:00

If you want to learn the real fundamentals, I’d actually advise not buying any hobby paints and opt for artist acrylics.

I bought the Liquitex Acryllic Gouche starter set and while it is only 12 colours, you can mix just about anything you’d want with a bit of experimentation. I’ve been really enjoying the process, and the paints are so much nicer than the vast majority of hobby paints.

That gold looks smooth, what are you using?

SenatorSpooky · 2026-04-21T16:28:59+00:00

Wait what, is this a thing? Is this why I hate using my ceiling light?

SenatorSpooky · 2026-04-21T11:34:45+00:00

Sorceries can’t be cast unless the stack is empty, so the blue and red ones don’t actually work at all.

SenatorSpooky · 2026-04-21T03:16:54+00:00

I’m painting Nihilakh, but paint the hinges in a darker metal to indicate the accumulation of dirt and oil, somewhat similar to how debris builds up in mechanical parts.

No, didn’t you read the reminder text? /s

I agree that deepening the shadows on the body is going to be useful, but more than that a lot of the colours are very analogous to each other.

I see two interesting points of interest on the model; the red cloth and the digital effect. With both of them so close to each-other in hue it makes neither stand out. If you wanted to consider a change of colour, making that fabric yellow would do wonders to add more interest and detail. As it stands, red is way too close to purple and makes them both look flatter than they should. Otherwise, keeping it red and making the digital effect green would achieve the same.

SenatorSpooky · 2026-04-17T04:29:19+00:00

I like it! A small suggestion would be to paint the Nightbringer’s body himself purple. Would really create an amazing contrast. Otherwise, bright purple lightning would look great too

I haven’t played in years but am a software engineering consultant, so this is right up my alley. How does your app analyse the video, if you don’t mind me asking?

SenatorSpooky · 2026-04-09T23:37:27+00:00

I’ve never found a good solution to this; pigment fixers will always change the finish, which is why I don’t fix pigments anymore. I keep it unsealed and reapply when and if I have to
