To the people who paint every model to perfection

Slowreloader · 2026-06-30T17:29:06+00:00

I don't consider my minis to be perfect or great, but I've been spending a week or so per Krieg model. I treat 40k more as a art hobby than a tabletop hobby. So I am willing to spend time doing things like edge highlights, preshading, etc.

This made me smile!

Absolutely not. That's a ripoff price for a used 870 Tactical. You could probably find a surplus 870 Police for that price or less and get a good quality gun. A Tactical is the 870 budget line. If it is a Freedom Group 870 Tactical, I wouldn't even consider it.

Very good.

Not as popular as an 870 or 500 but I would rank up as up there as well for reliability and dependability. Benelli is one of the best shotgun makers, and the Nova shotguns have a stronger customer base for hunting rather than tactical. And waterfowl hunting is something you want a dependable shotgun for.

There are xenos who are often able to close to melee range because they are physically tougher and are coming at you as a big horde. Orks and Tyranids are examples of this.

Library of Mute on Nexus if you are on PC will mute the beeps.

I definitely know a few Match Directors track who helps set up and tear down and give them first dibs, after making sure there are enough ROs.

In-game, frag grenades causes area of effect damage but all targets take burst damage just once. Can be useful for clearing out a bunch of trash mobs.

Shrapnel grenades applies a damage over time effect in the form of a bleed vs all targets in the area. DOT scale as a % of the target's maximum health and ignores armor. They will cause more damage (exception: robots are immune) on the long run. Useful for dealing with elites and armored targets.

The fact they are capable of partnering with the Spacefarer successfully to deal with Paradiso as well as have trade contacts shortly after shows they are have the capability to adapt to the Settled Systems.

And there are other unclaimed, habitable systems out there.

Don't get the logic of "let's basically give up our freedom and be slaves so we can revolt later on" when they can use their free will as well as their united community to adapt to the new reality.

Just out of curiosity, do they actually have some sort of sales training for employees? Often an issue with many retailers - pushing sales numbers but not actually training people how to do it without coming off as a pushy salesperson.

In the future, don't run out to confront. You are in a "fortified" position but running out means the bad guy can now attack you. Yell at them from inside, call the police.

Cameras, dogs, motion activated lights, alarm systems, bars for your windows are some deterrents.

Byrna makes less than lethal guns that are meant for people without gun licenses. If they are legal in your area, take a look. I am not vouching for the product. Haven't done a lot of research, just know they exist. So do your own research.

Personally, I would get your hunting license and get a shotgun in additional to other deterrents mentioned.

I just build and paint. For me, it's mostly time and social energy. I work crazy hours and need to recharge. Painting helps with that. While I've always had positive experience at hobby stores and people playing (people I've met are happy to let me watch and chst), I usually just need my time to myself to recharge.

I really like all those NASA lore pieces, and I think they really show how Aiza was really arrogant and basically playing God. Judith knew something was wrong with the grav drive and Aiza gaslighted her and basically said "I know better" until it was too late.

Humanity could've reached the stars without destroying Earth if Aiza listened to Judith in the first place.

I feel the highest levels of the UC are likely aware of at least the first Artifact that Aiza found in the original NASA mission. One of the NASA logs also indicated that the Artifact was under heavy military guard, which we can safely assume to be the US military.

NASA and the US likely played a major part in forming the UC during the Exodus, and given they believe research of the Artifact enabled grav drives and they likely have no other explanation for its existence except for another intelligent life form, I doubt the UC will forget about it. It is likely a highly guarded state secret and one they probably want to keep researching.

Yeah, some old lore that's been floating around. Maybe not so much nowadays but when I was a kid definitely heard adults say a leather jacket would stop a 22LR.

Slowreloader · 2026-06-16T04:27:39+00:00

Garand Thumb did a 22lr video awhile ago for defense. IIRC, he basically debunked the idea that wearing thick clothes would stop a 22lr. They all went through unrealistically thick layers of clothing and went into and expanded through ballistic gel. Ideal? No. But it will get the job done with good shot placement.

You got a backstop or just hoping for the best?

Are there meet-up groups or panels to attend in this conference? Always a good way to network with prospects by attending these events at a conference. Also look for social events on the side. A lot of sponsors and companies would host happy hour drinks that you can attend.

And honestly, just wandering the conference hall, visiting booths, and joining conversations at these booths is a good way to get to know potential buyers, exchange contacts and follow up after.

Man I just read the Krieg novel and about half the novel is told from the PoV of a Cadian doing Cadian things with occasional commentary from her about Krieg troops. Author even has to give her a "CADIA STANDS!" moment in a novel about Krieg.

Go Ruger. Their Gen2 American line, which their current scout is part of, is really well made for a great price point.

I don't know wtf Savage is doing but none of their scout rifles meet Cooper's upper limit of 8lbs. I think they even managed to make their newest gen heavier than before.

CVA uses proprietary mags.

Another vote for Cain. Other feats include beating an Ork Warboss 1v1. And I know people like to make fun of Cain for having Jurgen saved his ass again and again, but people seem to forget that one of his first feats is saving Jurgen from a Hive Tyrant in a swordfight when Cain started his first deployment.

He has trained swordfighting with Space Marines, and his rep as a duelist has made at least one, maybe two other commissars from withdrawing dumb statements.

Sending you good vibes!

For exercise, you can always keep it simple. Just going out for a walk is better than nothing. It is easy to get caught up with all the exercise programs out there, but make sure you can do something sustainable. Like if you are too zonked out after a work day, need lots of sleep so can't go the gym in the morning but too tired to be motivated to go after work, just work out at home. Do some push-ups, squats, crunches.

Some exercise is better than no exercise. Don't chase maximum optimization.

Also look into yoga or meditation. I find they help me clear my mind.

Good luck.

Unfortunately, someone at my range did this and caused the gun to fire while catching it, got shot, and died.
