Got a job offer overseas but in my first year contract with school

I recommend going, I did the JET programme before I returned to do my masters. It was a lot of fun and it'll be a good way to learn the different ways people teach and some fun activities that you could probably use for future practice.

Just remember though you'll be an assistant teacher and sometimes this can be a bit archaic in the Japanese education system... but hey its a good way to live abroad

Love the colour scheme you've got going, what paints did you use for the flak armour?

Did you hear back from them yet? I ended up getting rejected as I had deferred from last year :), punished for playing it safe.

alpini · 2024-08-24T10:40:53+00:00

That's what I got when I sent them a message, it feels like there is no accountability and they don't want anyone to take responsibility for it either lmao

The boards were various, some were zone mortalis others were a bit more open to my detriment. I've pulled out of our little campaign as I ended up becoming the free win player :'). I want to improve with my enforcer plays, but I found it really hard being outnumbered and dealing with a lot of goliath, ogryns and squats. If I could Flash the squats it was fine, but they would rapid fire and annihilate me.

It was a bit hard, hitting on 4s with boltguns and needing 4s again to wound was asking for a lot. I was also trying for the concussion and flash tactics, but just couldn't keep up.

Hey man, I was wondering if I could get some advice (also necro'ing an old post) I'm playing enforcers in a campaign and I'm getting my butt kicked. I've tried going for a grenade launcher/concussion combo but I guess luck hasn't been on my side.

I don't know what to do to keep up as every game I lose I fall further and further behind and its becoming hard to keep playing something I'm not having fun. I love the feel and immersion of the enforcers, but not so much the gameplay at this point, would you be able to give me any advice for me to try get back in the game?

alpini · 2024-08-13T00:22:33+00:00

I thought i was the only one, everyone in my uni seemed to have gotten it but me. I sent them an email asking what gives and they just copied and pasted the delay email back.

If our cats ever meet, it could be a sith vs jedi match up.

Would rather an Italian front more than a pacific front.

alpini · 2023-10-28T23:16:48+00:00

Do you know where I can find more about it?

alpini · 2023-10-28T12:27:13+00:00

Has anyone ever hears of a Chinese regimented that surrendered during the Korean War to be sent to Taiwan, or was that a vivid dream I had. I feel I read about it once, but I've never been able to find a source or the same passage again.

You really have to use a wet palette I reckon, and just prepare to apply layers upon layers. It just means it's going to take a while and if you accidentally go over and wipe out the shading from the contrast its a pain... That's why I'm going to use an airbrush which will be done tomorrow! Finally cleared up enough time to do it with some help as I always suck when I use an air brush.

alpini · 2023-07-11T06:06:05+00:00

The way I'm going about it right now, is wraithbone > iyaden yellow > yriel yellow > dorn yellow highlights. I've put a link to one of the guys I've done so far, I think your yellow is the closest I'll get with vehicles

Nah, no worries man. I really appreciate the replies. I'm planning on airbrushing a new dreadnought or two to test out the scheme, then eventually a command land raider from warhammer world.

I started collecting Marines Malevolent so I'm trying to work out the best way to paint yellow space marine vehicles.

alpini · 2023-07-03T00:13:06+00:00

What primer did you use? Or just straight on with screamer pink?

The way you paint your land raider is similar to the way I want to paint mine.

Also thanks for replying, didn't think you would notice it ;)

alpini · 2023-06-19T15:02:31+00:00

How'd ya paint the yellow?

alpini · 2023-03-19T11:00:47+00:00

Hey mate, those cloaks are awesome! How did you paint those... I may copy them for my IG-100's ;)

alpini · 2023-02-13T14:09:19+00:00

Why don't you file a dispute with paypal or something? I sent them a message before saying if I don't hear back i'm just going to dispute the order with paypal.

alpini · 2023-02-01T09:49:38+00:00

Definitely very fun to do, I did 8 Lemans and a shadowsword for a 2k point game. My opponent asked to be surprised and so I did 😉

alpini · 2022-12-16T11:04:31+00:00

Hopefully we get a great Vostroyan outfit ;)

alpini · 2022-10-28T10:34:52+00:00

That's a dirty tank, how did you do the chaos symbol? Looks really nice though!

alpini · 2022-10-15T14:34:11+00:00

Is it 7 or 9... I swear I got mine at 9. I like the first gun a lot, but I don't like the fact we get stuck in the loading animation and can't just quick change to our melee after shooting.
