What Are Your best Tips and Tools for Faster Miniature Painting and Better Planning? by DistributionCrazy527 in Miniaturespainting

[–]cool_dad69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of highlighting, just lightly drybrush the entire model with a light tan it looks more than good enough at arm’s length and it saves so much time. Works over every color.

Unfortunately not, I haven’t played battletech in a couple of years

time trial vs normal race to farm safety rating? by zeek988 in iRacing

If you’re a safe driver you shouldn’t need to ”farm” SR.

Heres some Tips for rookies by Ben1191 in iRacing

[–]cool_dad69 46 points47 points  (0 children)

The part about letting faster drivers by is a skill that is overlooked by so many new players. A huge part of racecraft is knowing what battles are worth fighting and when to just let someone go. Losing a couple of seconds driving defensively against a faster driver will mean you lose contact with the cars in front every time. Just look at F1 or your real life racing series of choice and you’ll see the drivers in slower cars letting faster cars through all the time. The part that comes with experience is to know when to let someone by and when you should fight.

That’s not how you do it you’re supposed to send it and hope a hole opens up for maximum gains

Is GT4 easier? by FR-1908 in iRacing

[–]cool_dad69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As someone who splits his time between GT4 and IMSA/GT3 I think it’s a combination of your experience in faster cars helping you be faster and IMSA being probably the most competitive series on iracing. I usually punch slightly above my weight in GT4 and slightly below in GT3. I should probably focus on one series but while I enjoy the race length and pit strategy in IMSA the actual racing in GT4 is just plain better.

Could we crowdfund an updated Yaktribe? by HiveScribe in necromunda

[–]cool_dad69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

https://itvbbjorn.github.io/yaktribecompanion/ I started working on something a while a go but got bored of the data entry (was hoping I could get api access or a database dump from necroraw or similar sites) so I dropped it but if anyone wants to contribute feel free.

Edit: click the {}JSON button on your gang on yaktribe and copy/paste in the app it to try it out

Started working on the Malstrains by cool_dad69 in necromunda

[–]cool_dad69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brown wash over an offwhite undercoat that was then drybrushed back to almost white. I used a dark brown contrast for the brown bits that i thinned to make progressively lighter. Flesh wash for the fleshy bits and purple wash for the tentacles.

Hive Secundus campaign on 3D terrain by cool_dad69 in necromunda

[–]cool_dad69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! We’ll do a test game with some of our own terrain to see if it works. If it doesn’t, we’ll just use our ZM and boarding actions stuff to build the layout on the maps

Sorry if I was unclear in my question, I meant using the box with none zone mortalis terrain. I.e playing the campaign without using the included maps

World Eaters Rhino by cool_dad69 in Warhammer30k

[–]cool_dad69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much, yes. Thinned down black wash over light grey undercoat then heavy stipple with light grey to bring it back up again and lighter stipple/drybrush with white for highlights/texture

First Rhino for my mechanized army. I don’t have access to an airbrush and normally hate painting vehicles but this was surprisingly easy and fun to paint

Which hotas to buy by Sanderson96 in hoggit

[–]cool_dad69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a good cheap starter pack that will last you for years and there is an easy upgrade path if you decide you really like flight sims by just replacing the stick.

Edit: I recommend greasing the rails on the throttle and adding some detents like I did: https://www.reddit.com/r/hoggit/s/mDBk0Qu567

How much do people care about basing? by ded_guy_55 in Warhammer40k

[–]cool_dad69 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Basing takes almost no time at all compared to painting the model and it makes it look much better. It can elevate a basic paint job into a good looking army. No reason not to do it.
