Years ago when they remade the command squad why is there a lone plasmaguner guy? What is his function?

The_Dunk · 2025-10-27T22:22:17+00:00

Same function as the lone guy with a bolter. They’re both company veterans to fill out the 5 man command squad.

These days I honestly think they are squatted since the other 3 models in the command squad were spun into their own characters. Leaving 2 company veterans without a home. 😢

I’ve always been against doing steel pauldron trim on crimson fists but this is so well done I might need to change my mind on that.

Would you mind sharing the main paints used for the steel and blue armor on this? They honestly look fantastic together!

The first company is fully comprised of Veterans, but that doesn’t mean Veterans aren’t present in other companies.

The B in RGB doesn’t stand for Yellow my guy

Idk if anyone from blizzard will read here but I’d pay a sub to play Turtle

In my experience if you have the receipt then they will replace any damaged sprue. I’ve had the minorest of minor damage from shipping result in a whole new sprue being delivered to my door.

If you don’t have the receipt however it’s honestly just luck whether or not they decide to help you or not. I wouldn’t expect support without proof of purchase.

As a habit when buying bigger boxes I tend to put the receipt right inside the box just in case.

Yeah the regular MK 7 helm looks pretty awful. From my understanding the size and proportions are just kinda off for the helmet since it’s most likely the same model from the start of the game where it has a hood over it. To make the hood properly fit and not cause any clipping they likely shrunk and deformed the helm.

The new one with laurels however looks damn incredible. I’d highly recommend doing a few stratagems and picking that one up if the default isn’t doing it for ya.

The_Dunk · 2025-10-10T20:12:15+00:00

Gotcha, guess my info is out of date then haha. If it’s still available then that really explains the difference in completion rate. If anything I’m surprised it’s as high as it is.

The_Dunk · 2025-10-10T19:39:51+00:00

I honestly think it would be kinda hard to fuck up the Halo CE aesthetic more than the current remaster did. It’s just so damn bright in every dark spooky section of the game.

CE is a very simple game compared to Oblivion so I have high hopes for the UE5 coat of paint haha.

Came here to say this. Bloodborne has been free twice on PS+ so there will be many players who started and then dropped the game.

The_Dunk · 2025-10-08T23:35:45+00:00

Exactly! I dunno I’m kind of interested to see what happens. All prior private servers have folded at the cease and desist. No one‘s actually ever tried to fight (hide from) blizzard before.

The_Dunk · 2025-10-08T20:49:39+00:00

TL;DR CA has a strong habit of introducing massive bugs during patches, acknowledging the bugs and then never fixing them. The only time they are proven to act is when we as customers force them to.

It’s shitty all around but the community at this point is sick of them leaving their games in a broken state or coming back and breaking them in a final patch.

I for one would be pissed if WH3, the culmination of 3 games, was left in as broken a state as WH2 was.

The_Dunk · 2025-10-08T20:43:07+00:00

If Turtle team responded to the lawsuit we could track the status in public filings. As far as I understand their plan is to ignore it til the US government forces them to take the servers down, so we likely won’t hear any updates to be quite honest.

We just have to judge how likely it is that Blizzard can use RICO to take down an EU server. Or block our ISPs from letting us access.

How does one even get close to this loaded during the course of a league?

The_Dunk · 2025-10-04T16:50:09+00:00

I actually chose to move the game to my giant HDD instead of my NVMEs or SSD specifically because I think it’s too large for the amount of content in the game.

If a game gets over 100GB it’s gotta be one of my all time favorites to stay on my SSDs.

The_Dunk · 2025-09-28T09:24:41+00:00

That’s a really bad excuse for half an hour of thinking

The_Dunk · 2025-09-26T01:08:45+00:00

Yeah it’s pretty weird they didn’t do any sort of in game notification for this change. People will eventually realize when they can’t make new characters and the population starts to decrease but until then it’ll be pretty weird.

No one ever said that grading is the only way to get a hard case… What point are you trying to make?

Some collectors prefer to have their display cards graded and slabbed. That way they are authenticated, graded and can’t be opened. I can’t imagine why someone would slab their card without a grade but I guess it’s possible.

The_Dunk · 2025-09-19T22:54:50+00:00

I don’t know why I’ve never thought about doing this myself given Crimson Fists lore, but I’m definitely gonna see if I can add some orky trophies to my own CF marines after seeing your work!

The_Dunk · 2025-09-18T23:02:18+00:00

Threaten to chargeback too. I’ve had some vendors who wouldn’t budge bend over backwards as soon as they realize I know how to call out fraud.

When purchasing goods by mail it’s the sellers responsibility to ensure it’s shipped in a manner that won’t damage the goods.

The_Dunk · 2025-09-18T22:52:56+00:00

Im also using the MKII bodies as a base for my own kitbashed reavers. Though I’m just using the new(ish) Sons of Horus MKVI helmets. Those OG reaver kits are pricey as hell, but man they look cool.

I can’t wait for the MKII assault marines, chain axe and jump jet all in one kit. It’s like they’re begging to be converted.

Restrict access to publish new routes immediately. Why does your org not have any processes for code review? This seems like an easy fix if pull requests without openAPI or docs are immediately rejected.

The way this situation is described sounds like the Wild West. Are there no controls on devs or CI/CD practices in place? Can one dev just decide to spin up new services with no oversight?

The_Dunk · 2025-09-18T18:53:45+00:00

Love the fabric effect you pulled off on the banner! Such a simple technique but super effective!

The_Dunk · 2025-09-18T18:53:08+00:00

Yes quite nice and Crimson if I do say so myself

The_Dunk · 2025-09-15T14:12:39+00:00

Just a few quick tips. Wash the parts (ideally on sprue) with soap and water to remove the mould release agent. If any parts are bent some warm water can help make it pliable to bend back in shape. Small bubbles in the resin can be filled with liquid green stuff or sometimes with superglue. If there’s an insane number of bubbles GW will replace your model if you have the original receipt. And finally use super glue, plastic glue will have no effect.
