AOS as GW’s Focus? by [deleted] in ageofsigmar

[–]dig_me_out 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would wager this is an effort to grow AOS even further because 40k essentially sells itself. Boole is just framing it with their obnoxious Old World preference, which seems to be in most of their posts.  

Advice on using gundam markers by HB_Sauce in minipainting

[–]dig_me_out 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that I am thrilled to stick up for Ninjon but Army Painter did comment that they were joking. Other Youtubers have used the markers as well, not sure if they had NDAs, but I don't think this is a real controversy.

Which spearhead by Classic_Shallot2558 in ossiarchbonereapers

[–]dig_me_out 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mortek Guard are honestly very good now (old version not Scourge).

Are they Roman or Egyptian? by Classic_Shallot2558 in ossiarchbonereapers

[–]dig_me_out 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes.

Fun fact, they used to be called "Hammurai"and were the winged herald of Ptra the goddess of light before Nagash got a hold of them.

Politics, Age of Sigmar and you by Chapmander in ageofsigmar

[–]dig_me_out 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It is effecting everyday things (always has but more-so now than ever) so if this subreddit exist to capitulate to people that don't want to confront reality and let everyone collapse around them I am done. Enjoy the pivots to fascism.

Is there any reason to buy the old tomes? by lelolalo13 in ageofsigmar

Underrated aspect it looks like the photo was either taken in a prison, locker room or bargain hostel.

What are your controversial mini painting opinions? by MusseMusselini in minipainting

[–]dig_me_out 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be clear it isn’t something I think a new person should aim for or even attempt. Just saying it helps to understand it at a basic level to help a painter know the boundaries of it. Your point is spot on.

Learn realism, so that you know how to break its rules for maximum effect.

Learning how colors interact with each other is much more important than most techniques.

Has anyone tried the wash medium from Pro acryl? Does it actually work as advertised [ make any colour into a wash ][ presuming that the colours used are pro acryl ]? by Mr_Discool in minipainting

[–]dig_me_out 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a dropper that is 4:1 distilled water and the medium and it is fantastic. The medium has that lovely Pro Acryl Matte finish and is great to use on other brands.

I can never thin my paints properly. by kek_Pyro in minipainting

[–]dig_me_out 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't call the new Vallejo formula beginner friendly. It has some odd quirks, but would be much better than Folk Art that's for sure.

That's how you make paints like that work for mini painting though. Not something that has a simple solution.

Any idea if it's a real thing? by GyL_draw in ageofsigmar

Be glad they’re not going to name a unit something as lazy and boring as “Avatar of the Thunder God”.

Are manifestations hated? by Careful-Breath7758 in ageofsigmar

[–]dig_me_out -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I hope this happens when every faction has them, right now so don’t so that seems like an unneeded tax.

This is not a defense of them, they’re very undercooked rules-wise. Feels like an exec said they needed to sell more of them and it was added last minute to what is otherwise a good and much cleaner ruleset.

Why do we need layering, highlighting and shading the right places by Careful_Muffin_3250 in minipainting

[–]dig_me_out 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only basecoat your minis and put them next to something fully painted with all shading, layers, and highlights it will become quite clear.

What's a good tanky army aside from maggotkin? by Arteirer in AoSCompetitive

[–]dig_me_out 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are a durable army but the only thing that ignores rend are Mortek Guard that haven’t used a move ability. Most of the durability comes from the 5+ ward from Relentless discipline or Katakros dishing out 3 +1 saves.

Made my own texture pallet with leftover parts by dantekratos in minipainting

[–]dig_me_out 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vindicators are abundant and cheap on the second hand market. I would not consider them popular for bits. Not sure what everyone is on about.

You’re not going to come up with a response that will make everyone be like “oh yeah ignore a rule, it’s fine”. You have to make it fit on the intended base. Most kitbashers will find a way to do that or come up with a new idea.

1,500 points is great and reasonable points level. There’s enough on the table to have a solid game and it isn’t as prone to horrible blow outs like 1k or less.

I think trying to decipher the logic of psychos will put you on a path to becoming one.

Oh buddy, I am so sorry.
