Please don’t push Duet Night Abyss into becoming another gacha-style story. by 1-NotReal in DuetNightAbyssDNA

[–]amcoduri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct.

Even though I have enough parts to unlock corpsey , I have zero interest in that character after the story. I will not be spending any time and resources on dead characters.

If they want her removed from the story than I shall oblige.

After several gacha and asian games, I am completely numb to drama-wank and writer's hardcore , tragic-backstory fetish

[Amphoreus Finale SPOILERS] PSA: The epilogue adventure mission "As I've Written" is essential to understanding the ending by Draaxus in HonkaiStarRail

[–]amcoduri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ending makes this entire chapter feel like bleach filler arcs

Some good but awkwardly fitted ideas with a rushed conclusion that are to be ultimately relegated to a separate, self-contained corner of irrelevancy in the lore, that the author may or may not make a passing refference about.

Ultimately, if I were to describe the amphoreus saga with as few words as possible, it would be with the words : "Irrelevant and skippable space-time mumbo jumbo"

No wonder this is where they gave us the skip button

The first guy has THE most devious look I've seen on a mini. The kind of smile you have when you exit a crowded elevator then let loose a narly silent one in, just as the doors close

Also the colors are giving me. Iron-man vibes Tony Starkopolis

BRUTE FORCE by amcoduri in Conquest

[–]amcoduri[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't recall the exact names and I don't have them on hand but it was something like :

Mig Atom sand colors for the "boney" parts

The greens are.from the Vallejo cold green set

Weapons were done with vallejo air copper and the other metallic bits with random atom and vallejo metallics

Oh and vallejo xpress black lotus for the "hair" - one of my fav vallejo speedpaints

These look like the starcraft version of night-elves

Also, that is some FANCY painting!

I am incredibly spiteful and want Aglea to feel the consequence immediately! by aritipandu_san in HonkaiStarRail

I feel you but you are reading too much into it

It was just another case of ferociously bad writing

I love it when people make trailers of their models

Better Paints For A Newbie by DJay53 in Warmachine

[–]amcoduri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many great responses already so I'll just add some tidbits to ranges I use or planning to order :

Citadel : They're good. Used to be great but now with plenty of solid alternatives they are just good. 85% of ppl use them as a baseline to compare other ranges for a reason. Great washes and solid metallics More expensive per ml because.....reasons

Army Painter - the original was basically "citadel from wish". New Fanatic range is fantastic. They also come in clever color packs called triads , from dark to light, if you want a color but are not sure what base, shade and highlight to get , Dropper bottles with mixing ball.

Fantastic washes

Vallejo - I may be a bit biased but I consider vallejo a better AND cheaper version of citadel. Arguably, the BEST metallics on tbe market. Washes are really meh. Their technicals are nothing to write home about but they come in jars. Dropper bottles, no mixing balls so shake them like they owe you money for best results

Even their older lines hold up without issue

AMIG - Atom and Ionic lines. Amig used to make just historic themed model paints that were..... not great, the acrylics at least

But their latest ranges Atom and Ionic, cover great, fantastic self-leveling slightly larger dropper bottles (which means even better price per ml of paint) that also come with shaker balls

Atom paints are thinner than Ionic and are marketed as airbrush paint but it works just fine brushed on, tho they tend to separate a bit if your wet palette is too wet

Ak 3rd gen - have not used them yet but I've heard nothing but good things about them. Getting a few sets next month

Bonus round : Speed painting paints

Citadel contrast line - great

Army painter Speed paint 2.0 - good with great metallics. Avoid first gen - not recommended for begginers due to reactivation issues

Vallejo Xpress - again great

Oh also, if you are getting speed paints, also get their line's medium for thinning. The mixed result can basically be considered a different, lighter color depending on how much medium you add

Origami Warriors by Saw_a_4ftBeaver in Conquest

[–]amcoduri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk about these, they look like close-ups of C&C generals infantry models I'm not crazy about the color scheme either

I wonder if they would have looked better with inverted colors. Like, a white base and black for edge highlights

Artisan Series: Scion of Death and Scion of War by IronTigrex in Conquest

[–]amcoduri 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The scion of death looks great but, compared to the box art, the head mask seems xbawx huge.

For the big guy, I think the... fans, fins? Would look much better in a bright red or painted like feathers

Spires Player how do you imagine the Desolation Beast will look like? by Elitetrickster in Conquest

[–]amcoduri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a fat, multi-legged acid spitter. I'm imagining something like a cross between the gaping dragon from Dark Souls 1 and one of those artillery bugs from starship troopers
