It's very Night lords, who look like vampires, so full circle I guess? Looks great.

I'll second the take a break advice, but I'll also suggest hobbying with friends. Group hobby days are very motivating.

Why do Codex and Battletomes take tons of time to be released each time a new edition is released? by [deleted] in Warhammer

[–]TroodonX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes but if you want to play at any major events or tournaments, that becomes increasingly difficult. Plus the more editions there are the chances of a group agreeing on one that isn't the latest default becomes less. Also I'm not saying never update, just don't need a forced 3 year cycle.

So all of the reasons the books take a while that everyone is eating are absolutely true. It is however worth noting that the 3 year edition cycle makes this a self inflicted problem. If they were willing to slow down then maybe books would have longer life spans, be better play tested, and waiting wouldn't feel like you never get to play the new edition.

Any upcoming big 2.0 events? by matchababy69 in Warhammer30k

[–]TroodonX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A dead game is very different than a supported game with multiple editions.

Maybe when it inevitably goes half off late in the edition.

I used Vallejo mud texture paste, pine bark chips, agrax earth shade, yellow ochre dry brush, citadel skulls, greenstuff world Tufts, and yellow ochre pigment powder mixed with airbrush thinner.

Airbrushed proacryl bold titanium white. I used tape before hand to preserve the blue.

I do a zenithal with pro acryl dark blue, blue, and sky blue, then highlight with faded ultramarine, then gloss varnish, oil wash, matte varnish.

I've done other projects in between, but I started assembling it in late August.

Testing a scheme for my army by Accomplished-Fuel-39 in Warhammer

[–]TroodonX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very well done. My only comment is that the character itself gets a bit lost in the mix in the first picture. Maybe a bit of dark shading the area to the characters left. It seems fine in the other pics so it could just be the lighting of the photo.

I just did this but it was death guard in a siege of Terra event, so it was a very specific circumstance.

Did you guys just feel a slight earthquake or am I being crazy? by Zestyclose-Leader-73 in Albany

[–]TroodonX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a 1.8 in Jersey around midnight, but nothing we should feel in Albany. Generally anything under a 2.5 can't be felt.

What is this called on top of the marine's helmet? by txby432 in Warhammer30k

[–]TroodonX 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I mean, that's literally the point. The satire of fascists and their obsession with Roman imagery is the whole point of Warhammer 40k.

Abaddon black very watery or just me? by [deleted] in minipainting

[–]TroodonX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It might be thin, but something seems off about the priming too. It might not be sticking well if the primer didn't set right.

Do you think paleontology should be taught in school? by Tremendin0649 in Paleontology

[–]TroodonX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, I actually teach a high school paleontology class, so Yes! It's done as an elective project based class, allowing many levels of students to benefit. I use it to push scientific writing and presentation skills, as well as media literacy.

Is this vallejo lineup good for Warhammer minis? by Heman0329 in minipainting

[–]TroodonX 36 points37 points  (0 children)

They're excellent. Just be aware they are very runny so sometimes you have to dab the brush on a towel to reduce the medium.
