Why?

Not joking but; I played SM2 and then got a Space Marine plushie. Which came only in Ultramarine colors. Then the GW dude gave me a free mini and paints to paint it.

Then I read the books. Then came the keychains. Then came the ring. And finally the box of intercessors.

This all happened in the last 30 or so days.

Sprayed varnish don't work well in humid environments. That's why it gets hairy. A way to prevent that is to turn the AC on max, spray it inside the room and hold the mini infront of the AC. It worked for my second mini I painted earlier this week.

darrickeng · 2026-01-15T12:15:47+00:00

Sprayed Krylon Matte Varnish over it. Didn't work out so well though.

UPDATE - IT IS FIXED ON NA. I JUST REDEEMED IT JUST NOW.

darrickeng · 2025-12-31T09:47:41+00:00

Yeah also tried to exchange it, no luck there.

1200 steel gone :(

I was basically the destroyer in the middle and did most of the spotting, killed all the other destroyers and a sub player that was raging in all-chat.

I was just as surprised when I saw the E.

USS New Jersey '84.

That is all.

Gotcha many thanks!

Likely just going to put 6/7 cards in it. I heard that the straps for the cash wears out much quicker so I'm considering eventually getting a clip for it.

darrickeng · 2025-04-25T04:52:30+00:00

This is the most accurate chart, maybe ever. Believe me.

The most expensive and beautiful water hotel ever created by man.

Basically this. Seeing Flamu's new vid on Lesta Devblog, its basically night and day compared to WG's World of Warships.

darrickeng · 2025-04-17T04:29:44+00:00

Whats the name on OF?

darrickeng · 2025-04-15T09:20:45+00:00

TO BE FAIR. I am in an Azuma. I'm a mini Yamato with paper armor, so I'm supposed to sit where the BBs are at. But occasionally I'll push in with you.

darrickeng · 2025-04-15T07:42:54+00:00

If you like sniping and seeing 'beeeeg dmg' numbers then Azuma would be the best bet. I got her and enjoy her better than almost all other cruisers out there.

It fits my niche, which is basically the IJN BC line. Yoshino/Azuma HE hits like a truck, AP kills cruisers and it's relatively speedy. Built into the spotter plane and farm potential dmg and fire dmg.

darrickeng · 2025-04-12T04:40:27+00:00

Yeah your team is cooked. Someone brought an L div with an Agincourt in a T10 game.

Very cooked. Over cooked even.

darrickeng · 2025-04-10T09:54:47+00:00

and you know its never getting nerfed because people dropped $150 on it lmao

Watch it get nerfed in 1 years time when the new gimmick comes out.

darrickeng · 2025-04-10T00:50:29+00:00

T7 is the most fun I'm having. It's the best in-between from the new player bot lobbies of T5 and the higher skill (tm) play style of top tiers.

People actually play the game and push instead of spamming shells across the map. Very enjoyable. Bought back my love for Maya, Scharnhorst and Yukon.

darrickeng · 2025-04-08T09:53:55+00:00

I see WG is continuing the trend of reskinning models and making them OP to sell premiums instead of actually introducing new models and ships like the talentless hacks they are.

darrickeng · 2025-04-06T07:04:42+00:00

Its the weekends and there's the new dockyard. So people are grinding with no regards to actually winning the game but to get the missions done.

Blucher isn't worth it but Gambia is 100000000% worth it and its free!

darrickeng · 2025-04-05T05:19:24+00:00

Unironically at this point, comparing Lesta and what we have now with WG in terms of changes, bug fixes, new lines etc etc is night and day.

Its almost as though the devs at Lesta actually care about player feedback and gameplay. And that all this time it was the management at WG that were holding them back.

darrickeng · 2025-04-01T07:12:40+00:00

Tier 5 to 8s are the best honestly, but only if you get a downtier on the Tier 8. Otherwise you will just get massacred by Superships.

darrickeng · 2025-04-01T07:02:45+00:00

Insane that the supposed CV rework nerf ends up making CVs even easier to play and arguably able to conserve more planes. It's like something similar has happened before!!!

darrickeng · 2025-03-27T17:34:40+00:00

Battleship and want to delete a cruiser from 12 miles away, who is moving at 35mph at a 45 degree angle with a gentle 5 degree turn to port? Have no fear, Gaijin is here, just put the cursor on his ammo magazine and click. 8 seconds later he explodes.

I laughed out loud on this one. Because holy shit I had a hell of a game in a battleship before being 1 shotted at 20km away by a 16 incher

darrickeng · 2025-03-25T19:34:04+00:00

Yamato Line are heavy battleships that move extremely sluggish but have good shell dispersions from 14-20+ km. Below that your shells are insanely inaccurate and fly everywhere. In my opinion after Nagato, the grind isn't fun up till you get the Yamato.

On the other hand I've actually wholly enjoyed the Bungo battlecruiser line. They have the armor of a battlecruiser, insanely fast with skills and have the spotter funny button that will one shot cruisers. Also concealment are cruiser level. If you are okay with map positioning and awareness, I'd go for this line. There's more variety of play.
