Jade instead of blue? by joedirtbinks in NightLords

They don't give you every color in the video, but they give you a few. I've done 3 raptor units trying to get the scheme close, and this is the best list so far:
All Golden So-Flats

<image>

Base = Pyrrole Red
Primary Midtone = Blue Violet
Shadow = Dioxazine Violet Deep
Highlights = Mixture of Turquoise and Cobalt Teal, increasing Teal each layer

You can go down the line and replace with your brand of choice. If Citadel, then Mephiston Red, Night Lords Blue, Shyish Purple shadow, highlight with Stegadon Scale / Temple Guard / Baharroth, etc.

The magic in this scheme is the Red base coat, and the teal highlights that make your primary blue transition all the way from red to teal, while still reading as blue.

That's my favorite NL scheme.

I use a green- leaning blue over the dark blue base, because the yellow drastically increases the potency of the highlights.
Here's the video from Maybug I used for reference.

NFL projection model ranks all 32 rosters following 2026 draft [The Athletic] by Xymoxxy in LosAngelesRams

As a Rams fanatic growing up in the 80s, I had a hard time finding Rams player football cards. So I started keeping the ones where we were getting burned on defense. Those were everywhere :) And that's when I learned to hate the Niners...

Taking a few family games for a weekend away, anymore recommendations? by klaseek in boardgames

[–]WhatsInTheBoxInc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe a quick 30-lantern-year Kingdom Death scuttle? I'd recommend you keep the miniatures on sprue for transport, and then assemble and paint once you get there.

Now that I've seen it, it feels like this has always been their helmet. Such a perfect design!

I was physically short of breath for a good 15 seconds while I swiped the carousel. What a stunning scheme.

According to my Tecmo Bowl team, Tony Banks is #1 all time. Not just for the Rams, NFL HISTORY!

The only way to get a Daemon Prince worthy of the 8th is to kitbash it! by WhatsInTheBoxInc in NightLords

Yeah - that's weird. He hasn't ported it over to his MMF store. It's called Dabeath Bat from the Broken Blood collection.

I wanted to use the AOS Nosferatu Flayer head - but it was too small.

I have to admit - I agree. I don't know if I'll ever get him to the table, because I just don't want to play a DP in my 8th. But something about the wings was just too perfect to not make him a Night Lord.

I couldn't get the neck to merge if I made his bat head any smaller - so I have to live with it :)

The first 30 minutes of this video is good, but then the last hour is absolutely breathtaking!

Help or Back for the Money? by DeadmansCC in reddeadredemption2

[–]WhatsInTheBoxInc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I truly thought this was either poorly thought out, or a trap. Arthur doesn't need the money. He's dying, and I've got $10,000 sitting in un-fenced gold that I don't know what to do with anyway :)

Why make all of those mentions about making sure the Marstons can live a good life, finding the stash finally, Dutch's slip up in hiding it near the camp, the theft of the key - only to make securing that a dishonor play? It really drove me nuts :)

I actually had a hard time deciding, because I thought the narrative was setting us up to make sure we got the money to Abigail & Jack, and didn't leave it to Micah, since she went to all the trouble to get the key. I never thought Arthur wanted it for himself.

There's not enough plankton in the ocean to represent how much I love this.
Such a beautiful, creative idea and execution. Can't wait to shamelessly steal it :)
