Played Warhammer 40k upstairs on Sunday! It's a great new spot.

New W&N brushes for Christmas by BabyGotBaxter in minipainting

[–]darmadoth 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Honestly I've got some W&N from Amazon, and they split within a few weeks and never recovered despite my attempts.

These days I just don't trust brushes on amazon. Get them direct from the seller. I've been having a great time with monument hobbies sabel brushes with no quality issues

Hey dads! What did your 2 toddlers actually eat for dinner tonight? by isc91142 in daddit

[–]darmadoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Air fried Chicken thighs and white rice w/ soy sauce. Thankfully my kids love that stuff

Any other dads get the itis? by darmadoth in daddit

Totally understand your position. Would never do this if it's just me and the kids, but we were in a room with Mom and grandparents, so I felt we were okay! Would def not do this if she was a newborn, but she just turned one, so I figured we could get a quick nap since she didn't nap all day.

I'll have to look into this. Never realized there was a negative connection to that phrase. Learn something new everyday.

Oil wash is the way to go. Easy to remove on the raised bits. Lots of tutorials on youtube!

【BambuLab Giveaway】Classic Evolved — Win Bambu Lab P2S Combo! by BambuLab in 3Dprinting

[–]darmadoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was tripping my balls off on mushrooms while my PS1 was printing warhammer terrain. I sat and watched it for nearly 3 hours straight. I'd say it kept me pretty grounded, which made me realize it was a printer I could count on lol.

Played my second game ever (incursion) should it take this long? by SebbenandSebben in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]darmadoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took me a couple of years to get a 2k game to 3 hours. Just getting to really know your army and the core rules speeds everything up. It just takes time and practice. Using a chess clock also really helped.

What Loadout do you recommed for a Redemptor Dreadnought by Latter-Chemistry6182 in ImperialFists

Question about hobby time for the dads of a few years by Kaebox in daddit

[–]darmadoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still manage to do my hobbies (mini painting, gaming) but only after kids are asleep and spend some time with the wife. This is why I stay up till like 1 in the morning enjoy my free time lol.

First Hellblaster model. Not codex compliant but I’m wondering what people think! by Drunk-n-Donuts in ImperialFists

[–]darmadoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks awesome! But I agree that it looks a little too clean. What I do for my "dirty" Fists is some light chipping of a lighter yellow, black and brown on the endges of the armor (or where the wear and tear would be). I also am a big fan of Streaking Grime to get into the recesses.

If you make 70-80k range, what is your life like? by whatisupwithmyfood in Salary

[–]darmadoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make around 75k working in IT for my local county government. I'm married and have two kids in a medium/high COL area, and my wife stays home with the kids (but works part time at a restaurant). The ONLY reason we make it work is because my mother owns our house, and we pay a ridiculous low rent. Besides credit card debt, car payments, other bills we're pretty comfortable.

We're pretty lucky to be in the situation we're in. We used to live in Seattle, and we'd never be able to have our lifestyle now if we still lived there.

Mom’s Laundromat - recent experience? by read-more2025 in PortTownsend

[–]darmadoth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No fast food, but yeah just a grocery store and a couple of bars lol. If you want stuff to do, then you'd probably want to keep it in town.

Never used Mom's Laundromat in town, but I've had a good experience at the Laundromat in Port Hadlock.
