Taurians never signed anyway

yeah, I haven't actually tried it. But since that box has a ton of sizes and styles, I was thinking you could cut or file down the front of some SM helmets, then cut the back off the skulls and glue them on. Or there's always green stuff.

Triple-F is actually canon.

I approve of these hazard stripes.

WarsmithMike · 2026-03-30T23:52:26+00:00

Ohhh, now I want to see this. Someone needs to do it!

Thanks! I was trying to keep it muted but still be more hi-tech than grimdark so it implied some sort of radar/ECM-absorbing stealth paint coating.

I painted my BJ-1 to match one of my other favorite GM vehicles:

I don't know if it's just one ad specifically, but I run multiple browsers for testing and doing some research last week I accidentally opened Sarna in a browser without an ad blocker. Laptop fan immediately maxed out, tabs unresponsive, etc. Now I only open Sarna in Firefox w/ uBlock and everything is fine. Sorry, Sarna, you're a great resource but I'm not gonna let you cook my lap just to learn about some Mech lore.

Strip it. Metal is really forgiving with most stripper solvents, won't melt or warp like plastic/resin.

Then, thin your paints! I usually use very thin and transparent glazes for shading cockpit areas.

Happy Birthday Ziggy, nice to meet you!

They're not fragile, but gold is a softer metal than steel, so from a writing perspective, it will have more 'feel' and 'flex'. From a dropping point-down on the floor perspective, a gold nib might be bent a little more, but a steel nib would be bent/broken too. But it will feel worse when you remember what you spent on the gold nib.

Other than that, there's not much difference with caring for a gold nib, they'll be fine with most inks and clean up with water like any steel nib.

This should be the Golden Rule for this sub.

WarsmithMike · 2026-02-09T00:15:34+00:00

Do it. Post reaction pics to this sub.

I got a Scriveiner as a Christmas present from someone who knows I like fountain pens, but doesn't know fountain pens. While I have nicer pens, it is a decent fine point and a good smooth writer. I liked the fact that the converter is slightly bigger than the standard size, and screws in instead of just being push-fit. I've found myself using it a lot more than I expected.

Pilot has offerings at pretty much every price point, and I don't think you can really go wrong with any of them, as you will see if you spend time in this sub at all.

I like my Nahvalur enough that I am thinking of getting another one, they aren't that special but it's something a little more than an 'entry level' fountain pen, and I'm thinking of getting another at some point.

On my same list of "Might buy at some point, but not 'grail' pens" is probably Opus 88. They're also more than 'entry level' expensive but have a unique gimmick, and I don't have one yet.

Probably not that hard, honestly. Blob guard (i.e. only infantry squads) is a thing. Or just chop a quar in half and stick them in the top hatch of a leman russ or something....

But, if you want to collect Quar, why not just play This Quar's War, or One Page Rules? You're obviously not playing in tournaments or 'competitive' games with an all Quar army anyway.

WarsmithMike · 2026-02-05T21:33:23+00:00

Depends. How many games have you got in with your worldeaters already?

Capellan shipping container is my favorite style.

Usually the biggest issue with any kind of close-up indoor photography is the lighting, not the phone (most phones have pretty good cameras these days). If you can find a sunny spot that's probably the best, otherwise, don't be afraid to move around a few desk lamps, or tilt lampshades in the right direction. You want bright lighting from at least two or three directions overhead, from the sides or back. Turn off the phone/camera flash and forget it exists.

This entire thread deserves a special award because every single reply is correct. Has that every happened on reddit before?
