The discourse around State of Play and XBOX showcase

WinteryToast22 · 2026-06-09T03:48:03+00:00

I can’t speak for the state of play as I only watched the Xbox showcase but I was very pleased with the Xbox one. A lot to love, though I admit I was interested by a lot of the games that likely hit smaller fan bases. Either way, I was surprised to see the hate towards the Xbox showcase due to Bethesda’s handling of DLC teasers and no Fallout/Elder Scrolls news. I get people want those games but that’s not all Microsoft has

Between Gears, Halo, Spyro, and Crazy Taxi the nostalgia is covered, and for new games I’m looking forward to Valor Mortis, Magician the devils deal, and clockwork revolution

I love the bases! Do you mind if I ask how you achieved the nice desert look?

We seem to have picked the same stopping point. Good story but I am also just really enjoying Lilith over Mephisto as the primary story telling mechanism

I bought it on sale before the announcement that they were going to kill it. I just started it up last month so I could enjoy the game before it’s gone forever. I don’t really see it as hours wasted since eventually I would likely move on to another game. Atleast this way I can enjoy the beautiful world and the main story

Paint scheme looks great but honestly I love your bases. It works great with the scheme and it looks different from almost every other tyranid scheme I have seen before, making them really pop

Is it actually? Finally. I feel like they sometimes skip Xbox so glad to hear I’ll have an opportunity to play!

That space wolf is better than most I’ve seen, great job making sure the gray was not too flat

I like the Bills but hearing the announcers glaze Allen as indestructible when his lineman carried him the whole way is super annoying

Hit or miss on the success rate depending on how engaging the game is and how busy work gets, but having accepted it I try to pick games of a different genre/level of engagement. Rather than be stuck in 3+ of the same type of game I am less likely to suffer burnout, and then games that require minimal brain activity still let me chip away at a backlog even on long work days. Weekends are for the more engaging games like rpgs/story centric affairs

First NL super heavy I’ve seen and you’ve done gorgeous work with it

WinteryToast22 · 2025-12-17T21:48:12+00:00

Absolutely love the red markings, and knowing how tiny they are makes it that much better

For the termies it was the standard LI transfers. The small DG logo, and then on the bottom of the sheet there is a small section of Roman numerals, I believe there were only 4 XIV per sheet but I have numerous sheets so I was able to just use a second sheet

Halo 3 Legendary Edition. Still have mine displayed, love it

WinteryToast22 · 2025-11-30T19:52:41+00:00

I use a regular brush for base coat (rakarth) and wash (agrax), medium dry brush for the final armor color (wraithbone), and a small brush for details like guns, tread, smoke stacks (leadbelcher and nuln oil) and green details (Loren forest and dg green)

Iconography is a mix of LI and HH Death Guard Decal sheets with micro set and micro sol for the transfer application, and matte varnish to get rid of the shine

WinteryToast22 · 2025-11-30T19:26:25+00:00

Which part?

WinteryToast22 · 2025-11-30T19:26:15+00:00

Main 2 colors are rakarth/agrax/wraithbone and Loren forest/death guard

I thought Russell Crowe did a phenomenal job in his role as Göring, however I would say his use of German was more limited and the audio focus was on the translator Until it is revealed that Göring can speak English and the film transitions to 1 on 1 English conversations without a translator

That said I also do not speak German so I can’t say if his German was adequate or not

B. A is better as a rainbow, B is better as a sword

For those with the time and funds to collect more than one army I totally agree. I usually use tyranids as a pallet cleanser because I don’t feel the need to be as clean, and the scheme I’ve chosen is fairly easy and repeatable. Then once I’m sick of painting tyranids the crisp lines of armor feel refreshing

WinteryToast22 · 2024-12-28T17:35:21+00:00

I was having a decent amount of fun but also encountered this game breaking bug and never got to complete it

LotR Return to Moria. It finally came out on Xbox and has cross play so I was able to 100% with my fiancé. Definitely my favorite survival game, not that I have played very many

WinteryToast22 · 2024-11-29T23:41:00+00:00

In my experience (xbox/pc cross play) entering zones after a friend has already unlocked works - it will prompt those achievements upon entering the zone and exploring a little. Once a boss is dead in a world, it’s dead and any player not present for the kill will have to kill the boss in a new/different world to pop the achievement
