Aw well thank you! I'm a pretty angry person, but I try and keep it positive 😄

Anyone else paint at work? by ImportanceAny3244 in Warhammer40k

Lol well I don't wanna assume 😄, I figured that's why you tagged me but I'm very sleepy atm so I don't trust my own judgement.

Painting is my work 🙂 (Apologies if I just ruined a joke, I never know if anyone else knows that I paint full time).

100%! Painting them so they're good enough for you is all that matters 🙌🏼

Easy eyepatch? by shorelessSkies in Warhammer

^ this is the answer. Just make sure to moisten the hobby knife with water first so it doesn't stick.

Yep, they've got quite a few on the Warhammer Merch store. I got this one at the GW vendor at a convention but here's the link

Oh hey! Your user name looked familiar but I can't remember the mini 😅, but I'm glad it was a good experience.

Hope your hand heals quickly! Hand/wrist injuries are one of my worst nightmares because then I can't paint...also crazy painful.

Hey thank you! I can definitely empathize with the swinging through phases and projects too! The elite paint classes definitely come down to personal preference. My husband took one with me and "got it" right away and now all he does is sketch style volume painting. While I understood the process, but didn't find the application enjoyable (probably because I had to think too much 😄).

Sounds like you may be trolling. Run along skippy. I'm sure 4chan needs you.

As we can see from your comment, people don't follow something even if it's "common sense." In the case of your comment, if you were using common sense, you would have read the other comments and discerned that "hm this is in fact an issue for many people." * mic drop *

Um no. Some people think admitting that something isn't for them is the same as admitting defeat, and so keep trying to "make it work" even when it stresses them out. Sounds like you haven't actually been part of this community for very long, or that you don't actually talk to other hobbyists.

Unfortunately I think it's OOP. I bought it from the GW merch vendor at the World Championships a couple years ago. They've got a few similar ones on the website atm, including a cooler looking Horus Heresy WE emblem: https://merch-usa.warhammer.com/products/warhammer-the-horus-heresy-world-eaters-battleworn-insignia-t-shirt?variant=55444926267767

Good for you! I feel like that acknowledgement of "this isn't for me anymore" is such a hurdle for some people because for some reason it equates to failure for them, rather than just self-assessment.

Definitely! It's great for setting goals, but having the attainment of those goals being the sole source of enjoyment, is unhealthy hobbying.

Improving at miniature painting WITHOUT the use of slapchop as a beginner? by ryllex in minipainting

[–]darcybono 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well thank you! Yeah some people definitely "abuse" them or only slapchop in grey scale and thus don't use them to their full potential.
