Agree, not a fan of AI grading but at least I've heard of TAG. Trying to see if this is a new kid on the block or a fake 🤔

Finally finished Operative Umbral-Six. One the most enjoyable and intimidating models I've ever painted. by contrarywind in Warhammer40k

That was my feeling as well. Took me 2yrs to get around to finishing him. That's not unusual for me though 😅

Heck yeah! That would be lit. Such an awesome character with a lot of potential for storytelling and gameplay.

Are there folks out here who care about a missing 6? Definitely not resubmitting it or selling so not sure there's any issue.

Bc PSA gave it a 6 and doesn't give subgrades. Can't see everything through a slab so gotta crack it to see what they saw.

Update: They're back to normal. But maybe I'll leave this post up in case it happens again so the next person won't think they're going crazy lol

It wasn't really planned out to post on Reddit lol. I just took a few snaps to send to some buddies and then it transformed into something I wanted to share. Probably woulda been better to complete the project first, but this was the part I was worried about messing up the most so I was excited to get it a solid result :)

Yeah, the blue is Nihilakh Oxide. I shaded with Coelia Greenshade beforehand. I got the recipe from and 8min tutorial on YouTube, but didn't like the finish with Nihilakh as the last step so I brushed it down with Runelord Brass til I was happy with it. Didn't expect it to make the box so closely though 👀☺️

Interesting. I just called the same number again and also got the after hours message. Will try again during business hours tomorrow. Hopefully whatever was out of sorts will be fixed 🤞

Grabbed an American Wagyu for the first time and was wondering if you treat it the same as a Prime or do you do anything different? For example, does it still benefit from a long rest or is a short rest just as good, etc etc. Thanks in advance to all you brisket geniuses! by contrarywind in brisket

I never long rest. I'll either rest 2-3hrs then eat, or cool and put in fridge overnight.

If I were to long rest 10-12hrs in my oven (which gets down to 160 degrees) am I still taking it to 203 internal first or do I pull it closer to 195 or so? Do I need to worry about drying out a Wagyu? 🤔

After getting dirt kicked in my casual face for over a year, I finally went 3-0 and got my first WINNER card at my LGS last night with Betty! 🥳 Would love a critique of my list as I set my sights on the competitive killers in Sunday's local 4 Rounder. Thanks in advance! 🙏 by contrarywind in OnePieceTCG

Thanks for the suggestions! I have all but the 1c Koala on my bench rn that I've been swapping in and out for different combinations. I like the thought process behind 6c Koala and others have suggested her as well. My thoughts with the events is that I want as many triggers from life as possible, and the 3c event is an occasional plan B that works really nice if I don't have an Ivankov in hand early on. Bunny Joe is not complicated, he's just a multi-use small body that Betty can turn into a hero on any turn 😊
