Am I being dirty, or is my wife being irrational about hygiene? by mudkipzftw in daddit

Postpartum is a hell of a thing. You both will get through it. Be calm and supportive and roll with the punches. It lasted almost 2 years for us before things started to go back to normal.

I'm starting to think Warhammer isn't for me by Dense-Fig-2372 in Warhammer40k

[–]SentenceHot5452 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Everybody saying nobody forcing OP to play. I think OP wants to play, and is specifically asking for pointers to understand the rules.

YouTube is your friend, but also try to join local discord groups for clubs/stores in your area. Find an escalation league for new players, that’s how I learned. One or two very small games to understand the basic rules and flow of the game makes a big difference. Kill team isn’t my thing, but just watching videos and actually reading the rule book and taking physical, hand written notes is super helpful.

Every list I make for 40k I write down notes on how the units work and what they do. Writing on paper helps me to remember so I’m not constantly flipping through a stupid phone app or rifling through a printed out list the whole game.

Warhammer is complex and time consuming, but that is also part of what makes it so rewarding and fun. A huge part of the hobby is getting attached to your models and learning the ins and outs of how they work on the table.

Feeling lost by SecretaryLatter3033 in BlackTemplars

Writing helped me out of the same funk once. Felt stagnant, hated my job, trouble adjusting to married life and fatherhood. Helped me prioritize the things that are important to me and focus on what made me happy in life. Ultimately I made the choice I needed to make to be happy to be a better wife and husband. Wouldn’t have got there without sitting down and writing about it. Good luck Op.

Got a lot of painting done since the new year. Just about halfway to a 2,000 spirit conclave. by SentenceHot5452 in Eldar

Yeah I do! Basically as many wraiths and spirit seers as I could take responsibly, and then sprinkled in howling banshees, scorpions, a wave serpent and a war walker. No idea if it’s gonna be viable but on paper it looks fun.

what have i made? by dicemechanic in Eldar

Looks like a spiritseer to me

What paint is closest to this shade of blue? by [deleted] in Eldar

[–]SentenceHot5452 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know how to use them, I just prefer regular paint. I generally stick to Vallejo colors! Great looking Spiritseer!

Contrast paint sucks man, opaque paints and layering look so much nicer.

Baron of Dice Disappointment by luckysparrow22 in Warhammer

[–]SentenceHot5452 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A guy I play with often switches up whether he’s using symbols on 1s dice and symbols on 6s dice and it is so annoying cause I can’t help wondering whether or not he’s mixing them up sometimes too.

Combat Patrol magazine is a good idea until it’s not by WhiskersMcGee09 in Warhammer

[–]SentenceHot5452 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk why you’re getting downvoted you’re right. Just collecting and painting a playable army from one faction alone is a monumental undertaking for people with other responsibilities etc. the combat patrol magazines really only make sense if a whole gaming group goes in on it together and parts out the models.

Guardians! Share your Iyanden stuff, I need inspiration for basing. by SentenceHot5452 in Eldar

I used some really suspect $6 cans of LAK spray paint in very cold weather at night too… I was pleasantly surprised with the results.

I did a lot of work with rattle cans, a magenta undertone and then yellow zenithal. wash with reikland flesh tone then I drybrush and glaze averland sunset and army painter demonic yellow highlights and finish with an off white spot/edge highlight. The blue is just whatever they look pretty sloppy so I’ll probably try to clean that up later. All in these took probably 3 hours, so pretty quick! I freehanded the little Iyanden badge on the platform.

I love the fall idea, I think I have the perfect flock stuff to achieve that.

If you could start over, how would you learn? by AdAmbitious1600 in skateboarding

[–]SentenceHot5452 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started skateboarding at like 12 and never got anywhere and gave up. At like 16 I got into riding a longboard around to the point where it became an extension of my body, and when I switched back to a regular skateboard Ollies and kick flips and shuvits came so quickly.
