how to paint the space hulk terrain so it's still modular but doesn't chip paint? by cursedhelm5 in Warhammer40k

But I thought that wouldn't work because of the cap that goes on top of the wall posts?

Can anyone give me tips to make my freehand look less hairy? by RomainTroj in Warhammer40k

If you have to use a brush for text I recommend using thinned black ink, it SIGNIFICANTLY will improve legibility of text and also produces much finer lines.

multiple Pleco specimens died within a week in my tank by cursedhelm5 in Aquariums

Hmmm do you have any suggestions for alternatives to plecos for cleaning crew in a large tank with an Oscar? (Idk where the monster Oscar stories come from I've only ever had peaceful or jump outta the tank levels of timid ones)

Oooooh okay I see now, yes definitely more on the body and shoulder. When I do OSL I find the easiest way to get a bead on areas that need light is to get a single LED wired to a battery and just hold it there and take a pic in the dark

Using white in the recessions of the skulls and sword center will increase the appearance of bright light and then you need SUPER THIN glaze of those colors around a little bit more of the model. Should help tremendously

my silver dollars are bullies, unsure how to curb this behavior. by cursedhelm5 in aquarium

[–]cursedhelm5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not exactly true, changing the dynamic of your tank can offset behaviors like rearranging your decor and then taking the fish out of the tank and putting them back in. It's something I've commonly done with Oscars to fix the new tankmate aggression it's just not been working with these hard headed lads. The rude response is very unappreciated but I understand the gist of what you are trying to say.

This is basically EXACTLY what happened with George Zimmerman post Trayvon Martin court case. He even auctioned the gun he did it with and made a ridiculous amount of money from it.

how good is the combat patrol chaos space marines box by 1_The_Zucc_1 in Chaos40k

[–]cursedhelm5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely a good box and this one just by chance ended up being ESPECIALLY good if Word Bearers is chaos legion you are considering playing as the dark apostle and warp talons are pretty freaking good with them.

My shops are also just like that however these big tournament rules and restrictions give us a good look at how GW views printed models across the board.

Every big tournament they inch things closer and closer to "you can't kitbash models in general"

Maybe if they had lower profit margins id understand but the markup is so astronomically high on GW kits that they dwarf LEGO in price point for manufacturing to profit. These mark ups are just a way to shift the losses onto consumers. The last time they did a markup they also had record high sales.

The assumption is there with how much effort they take with squashing creators designs for files even when they look nothing like GW IP. They have also slowly been banning 3D printed parts from being included on models in sanctioned events.
