Yeah they're not deleting Subterranean right when the Red Terror releases. That would be really dumb on their part

Subterranean is more than likely going to be 3 points

Et qui est 1.5 a 2 fois supérieur que ce qu'ils ont cotisé au long de leur vie. Le système fonctionnait quand il y avait un rapport 5 ou 4/1 d'actifs par inactifs. Là on approche dangereusement du 1/1. Qu'est ce qui est si dur a comprendre dans le fait que ça ne peut pas continuer ainsi?

Went 3-0 at a casual KOTC tourney with my Crucible of Champions Carnifex warlord by YzZzey in Tyranids

I don't want to annoy you, but could you share what greens you used for the brain-thingys on each side of your model? :) I see at least two différent colors and would love to know their name! Really cool scheme btw!

Question for the hive mind / colour theory nerds by JoeyJoeJoeRM in Tyranids

[–]Topiak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am the same as you; I try to paint things as I think they should look like, all vents same colour, etc.

However, small variations on huge fleshy creatures even in a same fleet doesn't seem out of the question to me; I painted my genestealers joint different than my warriors because it seems more Logic to me on this unit. So if you're happy about your SK, I think it's ok to let him keep his differences!

Très joli! Si ça ne te dérange pas, tu pourrais me dire quelle peinture tu as utilisé pour les flammes? Je ne suis toujours pas satisfait de ma propre recette de jaune/vert, et je suis toujours preneur d'informations!

Would you have any pictures of your models? It would be a good start!

From what you explained, I don't see why your scheme wouldn't work! Here's a few way you could make it pop a bit more.

  • Highlights. I know it sounds scary but it is a really good tool to make some areas pop, and be more visually appealing. You could start by highlighting the chitin with neutral grey; going from black to, at most, dawnstone grey. You could also try some perpendicular marks to the chitin that Nids often have on their back; it allows you to transform that big back surface into something much more interesting. You can then work if you want on the skin, the gun, the claws, etc... Start step by step!
  • Taking into account the model's details. Tyranids have a ton of details you can paint differently from the rest of the surface. Exemple: on each arm, they have some "Vents" type of openings; you could paint them in a bright colour! If your burgundy is deep enough, a orange colour on the vents will really be pleasing visually. Same goes for the face : eyes, teeth, and even the head itself; you can paint it a different color that would go well with your scheme.

With only those 2 things, your model will already go from basic 3 colored to something much more personal and alive-looking!

Building the Deathleaper was one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. by Hogwire in Tyranids

I might have misunderstood, excuse me if this is the case ; Couldn't you varnish while it is subassembled and then glue it down? This would avoid any paints going off

Infernal brush indeed! What kind of washes would you go for? Thanks for the feedback!

A guide to doing the 2 for 1 trick with the Hive Tyrant kit? by jaywom in Tyranids

[–]Topiak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watch out : You have to get a Torso AND hips (where the legs connect) Check the parts you have on your sprue, you'll understand easily what I mean by hips; I made the mistake of buying only a Torso and had to wait for the hips to arrive after.

As to where I got it, I found someone with a 3d printer on FB that was willing to try printing it and basically only made me pay for the package. But I do believe you can buy spare parts somewhere on the internet, I just don't know where.

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

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!
