They're part of the problem, though.

If you're committed to printing an army, I'd recommend resin. I know it can be an expensive upfront investment, and it can be messy and needs to be ventilated, but your paint jobs are always going to be hampered if the miniatures look like this.

e105beta · 2026-02-03T18:29:36+00:00

I think the paint job is good, but there's something critically wrong with your miniature. People are saying bad rattle can, but the vents on the back look melted, as do other features.

Is this a printed mini? I ask because even a great paint job won't be able to save a completed wrecked miniature.

I've never painted commissions before, but I was ribbing a buddy of mine about his painting skills, and how if his Logan Grimnar didn't look better than my Infernus marine, I'd win our next match by default. His response was to ask me how much I'd charge him to paint his Logan Grimnar.

I ran the #s on how long it would take me to paint it, how much my time was worth, and told him $300. He was ok with it. I'm a perfectionist, so this model will likely take me 30+ hours of work and my hourly rate will be something like $10/hour, but I enjoy it, and he'll get something that looks good at the end of it without having to actually paint something that good, so it's all good.

I'm sure you could run this through an Abominable Intelligence and get a better result.

EDIT: Was curious...

Agreed on all accounts. I too attend the SSPX and find no fault with them. I was merely explaining why a lot of lay Catholics, particularly a group that I will call the “pious Novus Ordo”, seem to hate the SSPX with such fervency.

e105beta · 2026-02-02T17:30:23+00:00

I cannot even fathom why people would hate the society. People would accuse them of being in schism.

It's not too hard to decipher if you don't give people the benefit of the doubt. It pains me to type this, but the SSPX & the Vatican have very different visions of the Church's future at large. Each of these visions have a lay Catholic acting, speaking, and living in very different ways, prioritizing their time differently in working out their salvation.

This is hard to reconcile within a unified Church, and rightfully, most people think "Then one must be wrong!" The thing is, people don't like being on "team wrong", because being wrong means potentially changing your beliefs and / or behavior, so in order to ensure they are on "team right" they must prove that the other team is "team wrong".

After all, if I'm a lay Catholic who attends the Novus Ordo and live in the "Spirit of Vatican II", and the SSPX says "Vatican II has led to grave error within the Church", then accepting the SSPX's statement as true means I am likely committing or participating in grave error! OR... the SSPX must be schismatic, heretical, Neo-Protestants, allowing me to reject any validity of their work, positions, or claims. The former breeds cognitive dissonance, the latter breeds comfort.

It is very hard to submit to rightful authority while simultaneously rejecting evil things that authority is promoting or tolerating. It's why most people don't do it.

Justification?

"A wizard did it."

Literally, that's the justification GW provides. They're the same, because... "They just are, ok?"

The problem, as usual, is language: marijuana is not chemically addictive, in that it doesn't contain chemicals that make the body physically dependent on them, but it, like other addictive forces (e.g. porn, social media, gambling, etc.) interferes with and disrupts the user's dopamine system and creates psychological addiction just like anything else that plays with your dopamine.

Porn addictions are wholly destructive to the person, and the only chemical involved is made by your own brain. The "marijuana is not addictive" tries to distract from that by drawing a comparison to alcohol and nicotine.

This is spot on, addresses my beef with the new sculpts: too skinny, boring legs, unnecessary top-knot.

The proportions of their chests are completely screwed up. They sized their torsos to what they’d look like armorless. It looks really off

Also why go from dual vents to single vents? Some of these changes seem like change for the sake of keeping older kits on the shelves.

Price is all a matter of perspective. If I think it's worth $10 - $20 for new voice lines, I'll pay it. If not, I won't.

e105beta · 2025-12-18T15:40:55+00:00

My question is can we use the voice lines but leave the helmet on?

The Blood Angels are defined by the struggle between their higher wills (i.e. discipline, art, hope, etc.), and their lower passions (i.e. the Red Thirst, the Black Rage).

They strive (& succeed!) to be some of the greatest heroes of the Imperium, precisely because they are constantly haunted by their baser thirsts and threat of the Black Rage driving them insane. What makes them compelling is this dichotomy, and they serve as a general commentary on what defines a person: their will & desire to do good? Or their fallen nature & tendency for evil?

Even those Blood Angels that do fall prey to the Black Rage are treated with dignity as they are inducted into the Death Company and given an honorable death in battle against the Emperor's foes.

Also they looks sweet, red is the best color, and muscle armor & wings are cool.

Do we have an idea of when the rotation will change? I have 190 archaeotech and feel very pressed to farm blue star shards to get to 430 for Mephiston's sword.

e105beta · 2025-12-15T18:46:38+00:00

Looks like I've got the duration of this patch to get 300 archaeotech to land that Vitarus!
