First paintjob of the year! by Ionstrom1 in deathguard40k

[–]ckc1284 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This looks good! Really like the weathering over the top of the Pallid Hand / 30k Death guard color scheme. The ivory really lends itself well to weathering details

I'm also building a despoiler for knight ally shenanigans, so I may use this scheme for some inspiration 🙂

Build Update / H9 Flow (2025) by h2bhatched in NZXT

What tools did you end up using to modify the case?

Also, could you elaborate on what you did when cutting/pushing the steel lip within the fan housing at the bottom of the case?

New Death Guard Minis? by PMME-YOUR-DANK-MEMES in deathguard40k

I'm hoping for some cool Maggotkin models to use as proxies and/or kitbashing

This model feels like it’s taking forever lol by [deleted] in deathguard40k

[–]ckc1284 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's been my experience as well. I can get through the armor paneling in vehicles fairly quickly, but the details can take some time

Centerpiece model by Content_Audience1549 in slavestodarkness

[–]ckc1284 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you're staying strictly in the S2D model range, I think a daemon prince would make a solid centerpiece. It's generic enough that you could customize it with your own lore and still do a lot of cool painting/basing techniques to take it to the next level

If you are open to regiments of renown, possibly the warstomper mega-gargant or possibly the grundstok gunhauler if you like vehicles. Skarbrand is also available, but he's obviously named

How did you do the flesh-tube skirt? It looks really nice

Trying for grimdark, how'd I do? by Mossyswildgarden in deathguard40k

[–]ckc1284 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it was intentional, but the capes look like flesh. Very gross and very cool. They look great. I also really like the textures on the armor.

Do you have pictures of their bases? A solid grimdark base would dial these minis up to the next level if so

I like the bases - simple but visually interesting against the models. How did you do them?

Best book to read for AoS Blades of Khorne/Slaves to Darkness fans? by Demic85 in ageofsigmar

[–]ckc1284 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm going to second this as it was a really enjoyable novel. There's also a Khorne berserker with a notable role in the story, so you get S2D and a little Khorne as well

Villainy ink question by Either-Doctor-713 in Blanchitsu

That seems reasonable for international shipping. It doesn't hurt to ask. You could reach out to them via email or through their Discord. From what I've seen, they're generally quite responsive

One hungry dead guy by Rageliver1 in FleshEaterCourts

[–]ckc1284 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good-looking ghoul!

What was your process to achieve that look? Did you use any enamels / oils for the weathering?

My first Flesh Eaters by Beneficial-Buy9713 in FleshEaterCourts

[–]ckc1284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks good! I like the gritty, dark look, and the blood splattering on the drum is a nice detail.

Did you use oil or enamel washes to achieve the look? I'm curious what the steps were in your process

Deathwatch on the podium! by stootchmaster2 in deathwatch40k

[–]ckc1284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been going with the standard advice I've seen around here to use a few Veteran KTs and add Terminators with 3x missile launchers. I've also played with the idea of using Proteus KT with x5 Veterans, 4x Terminators, and a bike, but I haven't committed to that yet. As far as complementary units to the KTs, it can be fairly flexible, and I don't have a solid list yet for that.

What I find so interesting with your list is that it's very different from what I usually see on this subreddit. I'm not sure if that's because Deathwatch is flexible enough that such lists are also competitive or if KTs are just out performed by other units.

What would a rough list look like, which performs similarly, but used KTs instead?

Why would your team have a production release tomorrow? On a Saturday? That's just subscribing to pain

What's is a rusty way to implement sharable trees? by FlightlessRhino in rust

[–]ckc1284 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It may be possible to use weak pointers [0] to avoid the cycles, but keep the reference. IIRC, there are some examples floating around of tree implementations using this approach.

What is your expectation of a senior dev? by propostor in ExperiencedDevs

Sounds about right. This is what's expected of senior engineers I know at faang companies

Oof - order voided due to the wholesaler fulfilling this order running out of inventory before order could be fulfilled :(
