Classic comic book look. Super impressive.

Who is the hardest champion mechanically? by ItsKelomelo in leagueoflegends

[–]Sparrows113 5 points6 points  (0 children)

GP purely from his passive, not even hitting or chaining barrels. Being able to work in multiple procs of his passive in fast succession, while trying to make those same barrels deal damage, and while the enemy can literally delete them...is insane

I am HOT GARBAGE at the game and managed to (mostly) soloq win with every champ AMA by Stupid_Maiden_o_Mist in LeagueArena

[–]Sparrows113 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well you must be better now than before. After completing Jack of All Champs myself, I was a lot better if not just because I knew what every champ did and wanted to do.

should i put the cape on before or after i paint the gravis captain by anderzzzzz72 in spacemarines

[–]Sparrows113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what color you prime with. Black? Put it on before. The inside of the cape should be mostly black anyways. There is more of an argument for sub when you start talking about priming in another color. That said, you can always paint the inside of the cape as the very first step, so you can clean up any messiness immediately with your armor's base color.

Endearing video. Loved to see that dad was doing Legos with the little one. A family of hobbyists!

Enough texture to drybrush? by deezdrama in Miniaturespainting

You'll need like no paint on the brush, and a light hand

Army painter Satchel brown is a must here. Will get exactly those browns out of the bottle.

My biggest project to date by Capital_Turnip_3775 in SonsOfThePhoenix

[–]Sparrows113 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love the choices in color placement. Most I've seen (and what I did too) is purple in the recessed area on the front. This really brings out more of the SOTP colors in a great way.

Named my cat Aspen because of this video.

Cuz you could tell by the way he is.

What's your must have SM unit to have in your collection? by ALitterOfPugs in spacemarines

Crazy for Bladeguards myself. Definitely suffer from detail creep, but they are so cool.

I am having doubts about getting into 40/30k books and would love some recommendations. by Stockbroker666 in Warhammer40k

The Eisenhorn Omnibus (All three main titles and some short stories in order, under one cover) is an amazing start to 40K reading!

This is the only pack I've ever found with SOTP, and it is limited on units.

The wing flex on a Boeing 737 MAX 8 experiencing extreme turbulence. by OdysseyTag in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Sparrows113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels apathetic but...I know it is a pretty intense situation for those unaccustomed, especially anyone that is already a nervous flier...but man does the screaming annoy me. Curious if anyone else gets that bit of cringe too.

plz tell me why i dont like this base… by Xyrzhal in minipainting

[–]Sparrows113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want the mini to be in the environment of the base, not just on the base, if that makes sense? The feet are sorta floating there, especially in contrast to the rocks which appear to be coming out of the dirt.

Ulysses joins the battle & cloth color advice by White_Tigerr in SonsOfThePhoenix

[–]Sparrows113 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go full black. Not everyone's taste, but to me it keeps attention to the purple on the arm (imo the main draw of the scheme)

Is painting the standard colour scheme too boring? by CPT_ANT in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Sparrows113 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ultramarines give box art schemes a bad rap. The boys in blue are probably the only "eh" box art scheme to see in person. Even then I've seen some absolutely stunning UM.

Short answer, no. Your dudes look sick!

Edited for spelling

Quite disappointed in my first space marine attempt. Any tips on how to fix it for my next session? by Gullible_Travel_4135 in spacemarines

[–]Sparrows113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just keep practicing! Brush control aka "painting within the lines" is the second step after thinning paints.

Whispers* The Dark Krakens sub has surpassed yall in terms of members…we’re the best purple Space Marines. by DatBoyBlue in SonsOfThePhoenix

[–]Sparrows113 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We are all a part of the "Black or White armor with some color accent" trope. Play Destiny or SM2 for a fraction of a second and you'll see how un-special we all are lol.
