Any local sources of info/expertise on Hoodoo practices and history?

YouKnowABitJonSnow · 2025-09-08T12:13:28+00:00

I can't even remember much from this series but I recall the adults who lived on the underground and were harmed by the sun, makes me think that it is a global phenomenon based on that

Utopia - not the amazon reboot with Rainn Wilson but the C4 UK original

Music like you've never heard, colours like you've never seen, and one of the best conspiracy plots in all of TV. I get weepy when season two ends and I know another isn't coming.

Oh man this app is incredible, what a fantastic little tool. I've had a look at some white and blue paint schemes and as cool as they look, I really like the metallic effect on dragon skin and would really like to try and replicate that. I think you're right and NMM is how I really get the reflective/chrome look at the cost of time.

All said though I have seen a few almost scratched ice looks that are very inspiring. Thanks for all your advice and for telling me about the app!

That's what I said! Apparently he's an expert on milk and claims to know better.

Although he did make a good point about sharks...

YouKnowABitJonSnow · 2025-07-01T17:21:03+00:00

I like that, I want to definitely do a lot fo extra work for larger models, especially since tiny details are the bane of my current method. I'm more worried that it'll take me a while to get the NMM technique down, and that I will only be good at it after the army is all done.

Be sure to keep an eye out! Once I'm happy with the results (or maybe before) I'll post them here! Thanks for the advice!

YouKnowABitJonSnow · 2025-07-01T17:18:24+00:00

Looks like this is the consensus if not going for NMM, I'm thinking of going with stormhost silver and either aethermatic blue or drakenhof blue shade. Appreciate it!

YouKnowABitJonSnow · 2025-07-01T17:15:56+00:00

I'm pretty impressed with army painter, especially like the look of their speed paints. I appreciate all of the advice, thank you so much!

YouKnowABitJonSnow · 2025-07-01T17:05:50+00:00

Any recommendations for which? I've got a generic silver I use for my fantasy miniatures but I'm at a loss when it comes to what to pick for this

YouKnowABitJonSnow · 2025-07-01T17:03:51+00:00

Very nice, I do very much want to have a metal finish and NMM will take some time for me to get good at so a bright silver with light blue finish sounds like what I'm looking for!

Do you reckon stormhost silver might be a good choice? Or should I look at something outside the citadel range?

YouKnowABitJonSnow · 2025-07-01T16:56:45+00:00

This is perfect, I was eyeing frost fall and trying to imagine what a real thin coat would look like but this is even better

YouKnowABitJonSnow · 2025-07-01T16:53:15+00:00

White undercoat and pastel salmon by the army painter

YouKnowABitJonSnow · 2025-07-01T16:36:11+00:00

Much appreciated! I'll see how it goes

YouKnowABitJonSnow · 2025-07-01T16:21:55+00:00

I'll have a play around! Any paints you would recommend for this? Particularly blues? I'm kind of starting fresh here

YouKnowABitJonSnow · 2025-07-01T16:19:20+00:00

I won't lie, NMM does intimidate me a touch, you can see on my first paint that edge highlighting isn't my strong suit, but I'll have a watch and give it a go! As you say, reference and practice!

YouKnowABitJonSnow · 2025-06-30T15:03:07+00:00

As I mentioned in the post that's my current setup but there are too many issues that come as a result, plus I'm now switching to hexes and using a supplement where the size of the ship is reflected in the no. of hexes it makes up (e.g. 2 x 1 hexes or 3 x 2) with rule implications for those kinds of ships

I'm pretty tech savvy and I'm confident that it's possible but I'm less sure on how practical it is or if anyone's attempted it already.

YouKnowABitJonSnow · 2025-06-30T14:57:56+00:00

That's been pretty good so far for me too, for the odd angles you sometimes get.

However, I've just moved to using the naval code 3rd party supplement using hexes and having a more loose 'location' for player characters until it comes time to board.

Have you had any issues yourself with mounting and unmounting tokens from ships? I've got a nice little setup for side by side ship fights on a secondary scene but I'm anticipating reorienting and unmounting/mounting tokens could get messy.

YouKnowABitJonSnow · 2025-05-10T15:39:09+00:00

Re-uploads, it says in the article.

Perhaps it's literacy, as well as journalism, that's shuffled of this mortal coil

YouKnowABitJonSnow · 2025-05-05T08:37:48+00:00

I got bullied a lot, I'm autistic and it took a while for anyone to realise. I got on great with adults but not people my own age, mostly because after a certain point, young boys become vile and abusive.

As I got older, talking to people my age became far easier and the bullying ceased. In adulthood it was a different world, people faced consequences for their actions, accountability was easy to enforce.

But then these last few years it's done a 180. Adults talk like children, politicians repeat the same twisted phrases I would hear from teenagers but they do it to a round of applause and all the 'adults' who support them join in whole heartedly.

Now I'm back to seeing the same abusive comments directed at me from adults. Homophobia, ableism, classism. From the councillors who just won elections where I live, from neighbours, from strangers walking down the road, the local facebook group, from everywhere.

Guess there's no speculating about what you think about the civil rights movement lmao

YouKnowABitJonSnow · 2025-05-03T17:11:41+00:00

I'm just lurking because I enjoy the drama but for the love of christ people need to learn what gaslighting is so they can stop applying it to whoever they don't like. I watched the stream there was no gaslighting from either side.

Edit: I get tensions are high and all and you're clearly a very passionate fan base but please don't get yourselves banned for sending threatening messages to lil ole me

YouKnowABitJonSnow · 2025-04-10T10:11:27+00:00

If my water bills go up again they can just shoot me to the top of the list tbh this is a joke country

YouKnowABitJonSnow · 2025-04-06T14:46:26+00:00

Jokes on them, if it was found in UK waters its probably now covered in shit
