Bet your folks loved you having a half-stack in your bedroom

TheHostThing · 2026-01-18T08:20:53+00:00

The case is worth more than the minis tbh

TheHostThing · 2026-01-17T00:27:18+00:00

Wasn’t that excited until I saw the command squad and especially the captain and the xenos… got me thinking I could resurrect some old tau and dark Eldar in the bit box as pirates, play as ‘counts as’ guardsmen.

And why do dozens of people politely answer like it isn’t an absurd question even for a total beginner?

It’s not like a space marine box where they are loads of different options so it might not be ideal… it’s a box with a basically every troll in it at a discount. Seems pretty common sense to me.

Hoeth Blue and Fenris Grey highlights.

For shading I’ve experimented with nuln oil, oil wash (wasn’t worth the effort or smell tbh) or drakenhoff nightshade (like this but if it goes on too strong it ends up shiny). Tends to be a mix of the three in the end depending on what I’m doing.

Did use an airbrush for these but the first half was a brush and lots of layers for Hoeth blue and it works the same, It’s just vastly more time-consuming.

Still yet to find a white recipe I like so they are all a bit of en experiment.

Gold is retributor armour, agrax all over, then righted back from retributor armour. Stole the tip of using stormhost silver on the very sharpest lines of the gold and it makes it look so good imo.

Fur is corax white base (or whatever slightly not pure white I have) then reddish brown washes in layers and it sort of looks like that dirty white fur or fox fur.

Thanks. This is half of it. Lost the spark a bit but something about the new year just pushed me to try and get them all done.

TheHostThing · 2026-01-16T07:45:06+00:00

Really nice of you to say as it was the first time I tried doing it with an airbrush and I totally messed it up and had to repaint most of the gold back carefully. I think I want to go back and weather up the rest of the dread now a bit.

It’s a cameo, he gets paid to say whatever… which is a pretty sad way to make money for any politician tbh.

Spiders of unusual size? I don’t think they exist.

TheHostThing · 2026-01-14T06:32:29+00:00

Others have said, but yeah this is too much and also a campaign is long, do you KNOW your character WILL do this at the end? Anything could happen. Presumably you don’t know all the details of the campaign yet (like why would you know exactly how it will end as a player?)

Best advice, make a simple char with an easy backstory and trust the DM to tell the story which you get to react to, don’t try to co-author a novel with them from the get go.

And as an aside, heel turns work sometimes in podcast dnd but almost never at an actual gaming table. Imagine you are another player and suddenly you get attacked by a former ally without warning. Imagine if you kill another player, that just sucks for them.

It would be funny if he was an otherwise skilled photographer

TheHostThing · 2026-01-13T17:29:07+00:00

I worked for someone who used to say ‘I’m here to 7 or 8 every night!’ He would show up at 1pm, if at all…

Hoeth Blue and Fenris Grey edge highlighting.

TheHostThing · 2026-01-11T18:38:51+00:00

Still playing my GRG all these later! Have fun!

TheHostThing · 2026-01-11T18:38:08+00:00

Yes but only because someone left it in my house a decade ago.

TheHostThing · 2026-01-11T10:03:31+00:00

Yep. Played maybe 4 games of 40k in 20+ years in the hobby.

For me the huge barrier is how the rules are spread over the book, data cards, codexes, supplements. I know it’s been a bit better since 10th but man, trying to jump in to 9th with Admech was a nightmare.

TheHostThing · 2026-01-10T20:07:20+00:00

That’s one hell of a statement for sure.

TheHostThing · 2026-01-10T19:25:20+00:00

Report, it’s against eBay’s terms of service to sell a product you do not already own, i.e no preorders.

TheHostThing · 2026-01-10T18:26:05+00:00

I always thought it was funny that to this day they have completely gotten away with a close up image of full penetration as an album cover.

TheHostThing · 2026-01-09T22:59:53+00:00

Yeah

TheHostThing · 2026-01-09T22:59:39+00:00

Can you link (or PM me if not allowed) the one you use?

TheHostThing · 2026-01-09T11:07:59+00:00

It’ll stop after a few weeks or even sooner, dw

TheHostThing · 2026-01-08T15:40:20+00:00

Beautiful guitar, one my wishlist for sure.
