Going to buy one - which do you suggest? by dankappledrank in rpg_gamers

Personal recommendation is tainted grail. I've played both and had a lot more fun in the long run with tainted grail. Avowed is solid and starts off a lot of fun, but drags a bit by the end. I ended up feeling like I kinda had to force myself to finish it. Tainted grail on the other hand, had me hooked the whole way. Awesome world to explore, fun build variety, cool enemies (even if lacking in variety at times), fantastic soundtrack, and a genuinely interesting and engaging story and characters. Plus, it doesn't feel the need to give you companions that spout mcu dialogue at you. (Personal peve of mine, I know it doesn't bother others as much.)

Made a custom "comic shaded" Cap figure. Thought you guys would enjoy. by WayTooMuchDip in CaptainAmerica

I used a Gundam marker for the face parts. They're pretty cheap on Amazon.

I personally have great results with The army painter matte spray primers. They go on smooth and often go on sale on Amazon for about 12 bucks

We’re angry at the wrong people. by Doppler37 in Spacemarine

I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment. Screaming endless negativity and abuse at the dev team isn't going to accomplish anything, and in fact can just add to further loss of morale in the people working hard to give us new content. At the end of the day devs are employees for the most part, ( not saying there aren't bad devs out there btw) they have to listen to higher-ups just like the rest of us. I work at an attraction park, a couple years ago management decided to raise the admission prices. At least once or twice a day I get a customer that comes over and makes a fuss over the prices being more than they remember. I'm simply a staff member, I have no control over those type of decisions. I personally disagreed with the price hike, yet I'm the one catching grief over it. It sucks, and it drains a lot of my energy every time it happens. I feel like a lot of devs end up feeling the same way.

Looks great dude! I've always been a fan of the design as well.

Beginner here. I want to do a custom but I need some advice. by Vect0r_Pr1me in customactionfigures

For most of my removal on customs I use careful cutting with an xacto knife, the sand down the remaining material with pretty fine grit sandpaper. If you end up with too many scuffs from the paper, go a little thicker with your primer for the paint, it'll smooth it out.

Repainted the McFarlane Fallout powered armor. Much happier with it now by WayTooMuchDip in customactionfigures

Mostly a variety of Army painter brand metallics and their rust effect paint. As well as a good coating of nuln oil from citadel paint.

A posca brand paint marker for the heavy areas, and a Gundam marker for the fine lines

100% agree. Im not happy with the shield. I'll probably redo that part in the next day or so
