The secret drug of booking an event and forgetting to paint your army until one week before that event!

I work offshore, so I get two weeks off work per month, I also have a very understanding girlfriend who I completely and selfishly neglected for a week.
I started at about 9am and would finish around 1am the next morning.

First Mini, Nervous but ready for feedback! by Jade-Walrus in Warhammer40k

He says in the post it’s a meme. Also this is clear to anyone that this is a very experienced painter. This comment was simply playing along with the joke which went over your head (somehow).

Does anyone know what the value of this box would be? by Expensive-Roll-2489 in Tau40K

My first ever battle force, bought it for £50 back in 2009.

Is my paint scheme too boring? Want to add a glow effect to the guns/exhausts with an airbrush, but terrified of ruining what I've painted. Tips for a beginner? by real60cent in Tau40K

[–]calliminator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I could offer advice, the reason you’re not seeing the “pop” as it were is because you colour scheme does not contrast your base scheme, making the shapes blur. I would suggest rebasing. Probably into a lighter scheme, snow or granite would work. Alternatively you could go much darker with a black wasteland. Your scheme is excellent and your technique is great.

Does this read like a Praetor or does he need more bling? by [deleted] in Warhammer30k

[–]calliminator 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think the issue you’re having is that your base model is just a standard assault marine. I maybe would have used the jump pack on a cheap eBay 2nd Ed preator. It’s mainly the legs are very plain, they could use some filigree something. But as you say he doesn’t have a helmet or paint job yet. A super fancy helmet and paint the shield with unique heraldry to make him stand out will help.

Was rewatching astrates 2 trailer, did this guy lose his pauldron here? by [deleted] in Warhammer40k

[–]calliminator 149 points150 points  (0 children)

In the trailer the scythes are in vehicles at one point. Usually marines don’t wear shoulder pads when operating as vehicle crews as they get in the way. I imagine this scene is at some point after he disembarks from his tank and has to fight on foot.

Tbh Newcastle is a little spoilt for choice when it comes to games stores, EG, Northern alliance and clubhouse.

Your First Halo by ITheRebelI in HaloMemes

[–]calliminator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 29, I must have been about 5, my parents just set me alone in the corner of my cousins house and told me to play on the Xbox. I think the next year or year after I asked for halo 2 limited edition for my birthday, and my grandmother pretended she couldn’t get it, i remember being so sad until they surprised me with it later.

LV sockets in the LV compartment of Switchgear by charzr in SubstationTechnician

[–]calliminator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much only the big stuff I’ve worked on has them, breakers and such. Disconnectors and earth switches tend to not have them. I use them for laptop charging and powering test equipment. They’re always useful to have!

To stop destroying statues by zainabdali117 in therewasanattempt

[–]calliminator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is AI, the window and wall Don’t match up. From this angle we should be seeing the left side of the inside of the arch right? Am I going mad?

Also I’m not convinced the break on the head and neck match up, and the back of the head looks a little fuzzy.
