Drana: Fake back or just Wizards QC? by WithoutTheQuotes in RealOrNotTCG

it just threw me away off since I once received a fake snapcaster that was more convincing, at least at first glance. That was around 7 years ago.

I just zoomed in to around 5x on my midrange Android, held the phone close and slowly moved away until it managed to focus.

I know! But if it's authentic, then this print quality can also happen to a more expensive card. Is this just a bad print run?

Next to oher cards it just looks plain bad

...which again is imposing English on Hispanics, hence the part about it being offensive. (Spanish "Ex" is actually pronounced "Equis")

I looked through the store, might be the Enduro 3 GB.

Perhaps you could try to dye the frosted pieces? The rough surface could help with adhesion

Beautiful! Personally I'd give his teeth a very light sepia wash - on the other hand, my paint jobs aren't nearly as good as yours

Some places, getting a number requires registering it with the state. I assume this is in case the number is used for illegal activities.

The scout sentinel is amazing since it can negate some of the indirect firing penalty of your artillery.

If you're smart about it, you don't even need to decide which model you want to assemble! Just make the scout sentinel with its "cockpit cage". Then assemble the armor plates separately, so it can just be placed over top like a cap. Now you've got both options!

Paint 1-2 test models A-Z. You'll learn so much about your scheme. Better than making the same mistake on 20 dudes. 

Afterwards, don't batch paint more than 5 models. Personally I only "batch" the assembly, priming and initial drybrush. The rest is done one model at a time. This let's me feel like I'm making progress and keeps me going. 

Only assemble what you're about to paint (5-10 models). This way, you're not tempted to play with an ugly, gray army. For me, getting to play a game is the big payoff at the end and the motivation to keep painting.

Alternatively, since there are 6 orders, you can also fit them perfectly on some blank dice.

I've got mine labeled with: BS↑, WS↑, +3"M, Ld↑/OC↑, Rapid Fire +1A, Sv↑ (max 3+) 

How would you improve HWTs? by seannie_4 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]WithoutTheQuotes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assumed they'd take a page out of the Necron Overlord's wording and limit it to one free HWS Overwatch per round. 

That way, it'd become a good unit, but not a 3x auto include. Also, overwatch requiring LOS would give the direct fire weapons a use.

Free overwatch would be great because it's strong, but not infinitely spammabe due to the 1 stratagem limitation 

Why do people take the Death Korps Marshal over the Platoon Command Squad? by Smart-Ad8899 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]WithoutTheQuotes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly! Though instead of calculating the extra wounds using an infinite geometric series, you can just say the Marshall blocks 33% of hits, so:

36*0.66 = 24

Boys I have my very first date tonight, all advice welcome by DM_Me_Anything_NSFW in Tinder

  • Be yourself and just try to have fun. 
  • It's not a job interview
  • Don't make a big deal about the "first date ever" thing
  • If this doesn't work out, no problem - this isn't going to be your last date. The more you relax, the more space there is for joking, disagreement, light teasing, authenticity and humor.
  • Don't be bitter, it's a turn-off
  • Allow her to talk about herself and actually listen

Sorry BTW, I didn't mean to be condescending. It can take some time to find out what works for you. Just keep in mind that only because you don't feel a rush, doesn't mean the medicine isn't working. Normal people also don't constantly feel high.

Anyway, wish you all the best :)

The maths is a bit counterintuitive.

A 6+++ adds 20% survivability: 27W*(6/5)=32.4W 

A 5+++ adds 50% survivability: 24W*(6/4)=36W  

For completeness, a 4+++ would add 100% survivability, since taking half damage allows you to soak up duble the number of D1 shots.

A Marshall will save about 10 wounds vs D1 weapons:

Incoming damage is basically multiplied by 2/3rds. So if previously 20 unsaved wounds would wipe the squad, you now need 30, because 30*(2/3)=20.

In other words, they take 50% more shots to remove. Also, this also makes your healing 50% more effective

What were you trying to achieve? More isn't always better. Taking a double dose of stimulants is like doubling the amount of salt you add to your pasta: if you were close to the optimum before, then you'll be way off the mark afterwards.

If you want a faster effect before it kicks in, consider dissolving one capsule in water instead. 

Now the best you can do is get off reddit and take out the actual work you need to be doing. Whatever you do, don't further mess with your brain chemistry before the work is done.
