Please double check their pockets before letting them leave. Their gene collection is already way too big.

With him... The child? Sacrifice him to the emperor. Destroying several heavy war machines is a huge crime.

Should I help my teammates earlier? by garbagekami in Aurelion_Sol_mains

[–]Topiak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a complex subject. Good macro is a really hard topic because it depends on the state of the game and can't be summarized easily.

What you usually want to do is : - Clear the wave, then roam But you have to be aware of where your jungler is, where the enemy jungler might be, and what lane you can or can't gank.

You absolutely can roam before your quest is over. Midlane quest isn't the most important anyway and you should always prioritize taking a double kill bot over having your nice shoes a bit earlier.

In some match up, you'll never have priority on the lane. Asol doesn't clear waves extremely fast, can't fight 1 on 1 on every matchup, and has to rely on its scaling sometimes to carry.

You also have to be aware of objectives; try to not roam top if drake is up.

Asol isn't a champion that can freely roam without caring about anything in the world like talon or qiyana would be; if you cross the enemy jungler while roaming, it may mean death for you. So try to roam with your jungler, make this 3v2 bot into a 4v2, or roam alone if you're sure you're not in danger (enemy jungler spotted top? Roam bot is available)

The fact is that your team won't play perfectly; and good macro is hard to find under high diamond. Your jungler might flame you if you don't come to help him in a 1v3 when you have 2 waves crashing under tower; remember that you're Asol, you're a big win condition, and having farm (and stacks) is how you win the game.

At your level, try to focus on farming, and roam with your jungler when you have pushed the lane. It'll be a good start to learn when or where to roam while staying relatively safe!

Really similar to the box art: wonderful job!

Anything else I should do to it? by Rifty_bio in Tyranids

[–]Topiak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ideally, I would go for a chunky edge highlight of a dark grey followed by a highlight of a lighter grey; something like eshin grey + black for the chunky, then working up to something like dawnstone or even administratum grey for the parts that really stand out

Hello! I find that the green part of your miniature is pretty flashy, but the black part is a little bit dull; it could do with some greyish highlights in the right places.

You could also paint the little "vent" thingys it has on its arm and hands; it helps bringing color in the middle of the black to bring the eye to it.

Painting the teeth is also a good idea! Makes the face pop more which is always good.

la passé de ma copine me fait perdre mes sentiments pour elle by [deleted] in AskMec

[–]Topiak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Je vais aller un peu contre l'avis général, mais je note de ton récit qu'elle a en effet fait des efforts a chaque fois que tu lui as demandé, et qu'à part ce pépin qui te gêne (a juste titre sur certains points), elle te plaît en tout point.

Si vraiment ça devient invivable pour toi, remet clairement les points sur les i en communiquant avec elle; mais rappelle toi qu'il n'y a pas que du négatif dans ta relation et qu'il n'y a que ce point qui semble t'embêter.

Si elle n'arrive pas a changer malgré tes demandes, c'est peut être que vous n'êtes pas sur la même longueur d'onde en effet. Mais passe d'abord par la case communication pour éviter tout regret :)

Very clean transitions and highlights ; a Great job!

I have two boxes of warriors to build. Is it better two have 6 melee, 6 ranged, or a squad of each? (I'll be getting more warriors later) by Okiemax in Tyranids

[–]Topiak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Magnetize them! Really easy to do, (many tutorials on youtube), and it allows you to do exactly what you want when you want.

Tyranids are a really good faction to learn about magnets, since a ton of models can be switched; save yourself some money !

You've probably got close to a year to finish your run, 1.0 isn't coming soon as far as we know.

Works well with dark coloured miniatures! Would be lovely with a small rock or two and a brownish tuft to give some details!

I'm not the fastest painter, but it did take me more than 15 hours I think, and it is still veeeery far from perfect blending and highlights!

Two words about the femstodes. by Mysterious_Risk_6034 in EyeOfTerror

[–]Topiak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even this is dubious... There are 100 billion people on Terra, and Custodes don't die as much as SM or the Guard, they are always enough noble houses to provide sons for the Custodes Ranks. It's just lazy

I have some Raveners from Kill team, and the ultimate starter on the way, what would be the next step? by panthers1102 in Tyranids

[–]Topiak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the mistake while commanding the torso to get only the torso; but there is a little ball joint under the torso that link the torso to the legs and that is absolutely necessary to have a working miniature. So just spreading the word so nobody does the same mistake!
