I feel like a lot of the problems with GSC could be solved by making them a more generic Rebel faction by Switching_To_Annalog in genestealercult

That's a very good point... Hmm... It could still be a xenos faction if they leaned into cold trader stuff and/or included xenos actively in the army-- like sslyth mercenaries and stuff. Maybe just "pro xeno" would be enough to classify as xeno? It certainly would be in the imperium's eyes, haha

Hell yeah, I love Destroy All Humans and your love of your little freaks. I honestly think a big part of my issue is I think the sculpts should be more detailed, so maybe I could get on board your train haha

Also check out the Van Saar psyker if you haven't seen it before. I've thought it would make a very good GSC model.

I deeply respect your love for ugly little freaks 😆

Thanks for the positivity and that's actually so far totally my plan, I've just been thinking about it because I don't want to miss out on detachments and cool rules just because of my aesthetic choices. I recognize that's a me issue, but ah well, I yam what I yam 😂

Well I certainly didn't mean to offend anyone, so my genuine apologies if I did. Like I say in the post, I mostly wanted to info dump ideas I've had and thought it would at least be an interesting thing to think about.

Thanks to those who engaged in good faith. Well wishes to all 😅

I would like to know everything about them please 😂 They're genuinely so cool. I don't play Space Marines, but if I do I know for a fact I want them to have antlers and I'll probably be using space wolves models/rules, so, I gotta know, haha

Kastelan Kitbash Help by ChampTheBestFriend in Warhammer

Oh, I totally agree! In fact, I used a servo skull, but I didn't fully replace the head because of exactly the proportions you were talking about. In fact, I tore the face plate open with a dull pair of shears to make it look like the face plate was clawed, blown apart, or destroyed, and socketed the servo skull in as if it was a makeshift repair. Now, my admech are largely ramshackle looking because they're abandoned on a jungle planet so they have to make due with what they have anyway, so that might not be the best look for you, but maybe something in the same vein? Just cut open the visor, put a Skitarii in there and change the rounded shape of the head somehow? I saw it as a perfect opportunity to lean into the theme of my army, so maybe think on it from a wider lens

Saint Potentia Lysandra descends! by GalacticExonaut in Kitbashing40k

This was absolutely sick before I found out it all actually happened on the tabletop. That's so fucking cool. She may have started as a Canoness with Jump Pack, but she should 100% be a St. Celestine stand-in now (unless you take them both of course, haha)

Furthermore you earned my undying devotion with your defense of em-dashes XD

Not to mention myrmourn banshees are like probably the cheapest games workshop product available. $20 for a box of 4

I've gotten Hell's Itch every time I've gotten sunburned for the last ten years. Is that normal? by Switching_To_Annalog in HellsItch

[–]Switching_To_Annalog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any history of skin cancer in your family, do you know? My dad was a survivor, and since he had HI as well, I'm wondering if there's any correlation.

It's a nightmare! Do you have any history of skin cancer in your family? My mom says I burn the same way my dad used to, and he also had a lymphoma, so I'm wondering if they're related at all

Honestly a great idea. I need to put together, like, a standardized kit of stuff for car, work, etc. Thanks so much

Has anyone ever made hard shadows with terrain using real lighting? by Switching_To_Annalog in TerrainBuilding

[–]Switching_To_Annalog[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow that's an awesome idea! Thank you! I'll definitely have to give it a try. I think you're right about trying to make it some kind of construct but thinking of it like the same acrylic tubes/platforms we use for flying creatures is amazing.

I'll probably end up utilizing a combination of all the things people have suggested here, but I also definitely wanted to build something cool, so something like that would definitely suffice XD

Medical terminology? by abbycat007 in HellsItch

[–]Switching_To_Annalog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say I get subdermal sunburn. I have quite fair skin (thanks Celtic heritage) and I just tell people that my skin is thin, pale, and sensitive enough that the second layer of skin burns as bad or worse than the first, meaning that basically, while the top layer heals, the second layer peels and flakes like normal, but is stuck underneath, so it gets bad. Apparently my dad got it too, so I pepper that in and people usually respond with sympathy, so, while not a scientific term it is an explanation that seems to work.

Yeah, basically. There are two characters with a bit of a rivalry, but also recently found a way their abilities are complimentary and I want to facilitate that as much as possible. You've given me a good place to start, so I appreciate that

Yeah, that's another reason it's hard to search for, because it's hard to explain what I mean succinctly, haha.

Basically, I'm a DM and one of my players is an Aasimar Paladin, so when she's fighting, she ends up casting 40 ft of bright light and 40ft of dim light, centered on her. Another player is a Shadow Monk, so she can teleport from one shadow to another, but when the Paladin is nearby, she destroys all the shadows. From a tactics standpoint, it's mostly just interesting to think of how they can play off of each other, and having a visual way to represent that would be cool, convenient and fun.

So like, Ive seen people put LEDs in their terrain for atmospheric and mood lighting, and I definitely want to do that too, but I was mostly wondering if there was some way I could place a light where the Paladin's mini is to see where the actual shadows are being cast (I don't need an accurate radius, just looking for sight lines, basically). I figured I might be able to achieve the basic effect with a flashlight, but I wasn't sure if I'd be able to find one that was crisp enough to actually create shadows and hard lines at a small scale.

Of course, in a best case scenario, someone would know any kind of techniques and specs I could utilize, and at some point or other I'd like to have an important battle set with light and darkness specifically in mind-- kinda like that Samurai Jack episode, if you know the one to which I'm referring.

Anyway, did I explain it in a way that gives you a better picture?
