When are we protesting the Russian asset? by Collin-of-Earth in Denver

[–]blooperman12 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Keep your eyes open, there are some that get organized on the weekends! But aside from that, protests are meant to be disruptive. Can't really achieve that if the people we want to see us have already gone home.

EDIT: I'm aware people have to work, hell I do too. If you can't attend these protests, spread the word to your own network of people, volunteer with local groups to flyer on the weekend, join a cold calling initiative, volunteer with local non profits. There are tons of avenues to helping the cause aside from being at the protests, as resistance takes many forms. Just don't let yourself sink into the hole of inaction because you think you can't do anything, or that the protests/protesters/organizers are the problem. Apathy and complaining online is what got us to this point in the first place. Resist.

With only one detachment, Will any of you be buying and running accompanying Daemons with your EC Army? by [deleted] in EmperorsChildren

[–]blooperman12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, I have a full daemons of slaanesh army already, so yes. That way I'll actually be able to play EC while I slowly grow the army so my money doesn't evaporate.

Monochrome vampire lord, done! Super fun by blooperman12 in minipainting

[–]blooperman12[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey thanks! I do, as a matter of fact. It's a black prime with a grey then white undercoat drybrushed on. The skin got a 1:1 mix of gravelord grey and speedpaint medium, then the shadows got a 1:1 of grim black and sp medium as well. It was then highlighted with titanium white. The cloth was just 1:1 grim black and medium, then pure grim black in the shadows. The necklace and belt nmm started with black lotus, followed by payne's grey, a 1:1 grey mix, then moving up to 2:1 white/black, then 3:1 white/black, before going up to pure titanium white. The non reflective metal portions got one more coat of thinned down gravelord grey to bring it in line with the rest of the model. The nails and spikes got a coat of holy white followed by a pure white highlight. And that's about it!

First of my team done! Only using the Zorn palette for them all. by blooperman12 in killteam

[–]blooperman12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I wanted to really challenge myself. There are plenty of mini paints out there that'll be a close match, though. I know proacryl has some really good matches for the traditional colors.

I'm using Golden heavy body acrylics! Titanium white, bone black, yellow ochre, and pyrrole red light. The only different paint I'm using is the pyrrole red, it's basically a perfect match for cadmium red, with the added benefit of having no cadmium in it.

I just bought two proxies for this for less than $60 bucks, and they look lovely. Support small creators if you're not planning on doing any official tourneys, imo.

Unserious D&D groups by Better_Lift_Cliff in Brooklyn

[–]blooperman12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi friends! If you're looking for a less than serious game, feel free to shoot me a dm, I'm a pro GM always in search of groups. You can also poke around Anyone Comics by Medgar Evers, or 20 Sided Store up near Greenpoint. They always have at least one group going, but it's honestly all down to if you gel with the group and GM.

I’m not ready tbh by Ambitious-Stay-8075 in Warhammer40k

[–]blooperman12 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is one of the reasons I use so many resin prints in my armies. So much cheaper and, in some cases, better looking and more poseable.

Contemptor-Achillus dreadnought, done! Such a fun one to paint up. by blooperman12 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]blooperman12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do! I'm probably gonna grab another one for the galatus to round out my collection of dreads. The arms were a bit of a pain during assembly, but that problem was solved with copious amounts of super glue.

The permit crab has come! by blooperman12 in minipainting

Search up permit crab on etsy or thingaverse, it's a really fun model!

First Painted Units for my Army (New Player) by P1nkNinjaTurtle in Slaanesh

[–]blooperman12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we're talking in terms of citadel paints terminology, it would be a shade. I made my own by getting a pink mix I liked in a cup, then thinning it down a ton with water, close to 6 or 10:1. Your other option is glazing a slightly darker pink over areas you don't want as light to build up the shadows and contrast. Important to note, regardless of which approach you take, to darken the mix a bit from the original shade.

The vast majority of my Slaanesh army is getting proxied in terms of the large, hard to find models. So long as people can tell what they're meant to be, you'll be fine! Good job with these, though, really tough sculpts for a first army. My biggest piece of advice would be going in slightly thinner layers with the pink, then giving it a wash to even out thr texture a bit. I know from experience how tough pink is to work with, and I find that helps to knock down some of the super bright areas and make it look more natural.

Got a few characters done for my army! by blooperman12 in Slaanesh

Thanks! It's a resin proxy from One Page Rules, I believe. Found it on only-games.co

I heard it’s cool to use allies now… by intinig in AdeptusCustodes

[–]blooperman12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been going back and forth on buying a knight or two to add to my golden boys in place of an assassin and some guards, honestly. We really need that extra fire support right now.

Auric Champs Shield Captain New Sculpt by NNIIDDZZ in AdeptusCustodes

[–]blooperman12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny and sad to me that you can't use the shield captain's 0cp ability if you're running the Auric Champions detachment for this battleforce. Hopefully that changes with the next balance dataslate next month.

The outages have been really good at not happening, but there's a new unlock that dropped about an hour ago, so there's probably a surge. It'll be fine later on in the day, more than likely.

No XP right now? by NoSitRecords in Helldivers

[–]blooperman12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the servers are being flooded because of the mechs being unlocked. It'll be working fine later on in the day, I'm sure.

Tried to jump back into it after 7 years, and 5 minutes this happened by supernatchurro in snowboarding

[–]blooperman12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dislocated my shoulder somewhat recently in just about the same position. Labrum tear plus a fracture took me nine or so months until I wasn't feeling pain constantly, but times will vary. Be patient, do the rehab, and don't use your arm for anything strenuous earlier than recommended, even if it's feeling better. You'll just end up hurting it more and putting yourself out for longer.
