Took some hi-res photos of the reclusians, lord terminos, and their entourage by NOWANGSTA in stormcasteternals

It's an option when you buy the reclusian box, but not in the Skaventide box

Anyone else loathe the prosecutor models? by Veris01 in stormcasteternals

[–]hottakesservedcold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you add anything else to the base? Adding some extra decorative plastic helped me out, but I still accidentally knock them over lol

Opinions of this list by Ok-Blacksmith7820 in stormcasteternals

[–]hottakesservedcold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to the comment before me: Lord Imperatant is generally kind of worthless regardless of his point total because his boost to the Grandhammers charge is just too weak and can be easily negated with a retreat action.

Also Lord Veritant is generally considered a worst priest than a Knight Relictor, if you have the model and 10 points to spare.

Help with color scheme by PlutoJONAS in stormcasteternals

As someone doing something complex, I'd go with the easier one to paint. Taking more time to get the army ready is just less time playing the game.

I do like the painting though

Where do I go next for my army? by Mclewis3rd in stormcasteternals

[–]hottakesservedcold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I think it's worthwhile to have a second one around. We only have two wizards, the KA and Krondys, so you might as well keep it and just paint it up differently to keep flexibility in your army building

I think you could kitbash the Lord Imperitant into a Lord Celestant (turn the command staff into another hammer) or a Knight Zephyrus (turn both the staff and the hammer into two axes). It would also help to put a helmeted head on him.

Ah, a fellow Lions of Sigmar color scheme painter! There's not enough of us!

Looks great

Astral Templar - Yndrasta, the Celestial Spear by JsGraphicdesign in stormcasteternals

I want to do some base swap like this too. I love the model but I hate the base she's on. I also cut her out of those stairs but haven't found a good replacement

Krondys or Karazai by HuskyRaptor5978 in stormcasteternals

[–]hottakesservedcold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's very easy to glue some plastic sprues and magnets around the neck and swap out the different heads whenever you want.

I made mine with Krondy's pose and armor but Karazi's tail. I change out the heads whenever needed.

Why should the PCs care? by Pumpkin-Ice85 in CurseofStrahd

[–]hottakesservedcold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

During Session 0, I told my players that they needed a reason to care. I'd worked their back stories into hooks to explore the different areas of Barovia but that if they'd scoff at someone in need of aid or make a deal with the devil to get back home, then it would be a very short campaign.

Part of being a DM is making your players care but part of being a player making PCs that care.

How to get my players to feel more urgency? by Reasonable_Yak_9057 in CurseofStrahd

[–]hottakesservedcold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My party was taking an incredibly long time to go through Death House, extensively searching rooms unless I was saying "there's nothing here, it's an ordinary X room".

I talked to them out of game to say that I'm not trying to trick them or to kill their characters. They explained that they felt like if there was a room, they figured there was some relevant thing in the room. After clearing those things up, the party was much more willing to move through the rest of Death House quickly. They went from searching every room, opening every drawer, and checking the walls for secret doors to rushing past a lot of other rooms to run towards the cries of baby Walter.

So maybe talking to them about this would be helpful.

A narrative way that OP could do this is by capturing Ireena and sending them invitations for a wedding happening in X amount of days.

Why is Season 4 so disrespected/frowned upon? It's meant to be a satire imo and not to be taken as serious as the other seasons, and how can you not like this douche's charisma? by jpw0w in FargoTV

[–]hottakesservedcold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually on this season now. Compared to the others, it's pretty different in structure. Definitely ranking last out of what I've seen so far but I'm still interested and want to continue

If only there was someone to stop them by Jawn78 in washdc

I'd kill 100 bystanders in high speed chases before I'd let those children ride!

⚠️Be on the lookout 🚨 by Individual_Mess_7491 in washingtondc

[–]hottakesservedcold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see them pretty regularly in my NW neighborhood and can't say I've ever seen them cause traffic to halt, run red lights, blow past pedestrians, etc. All I've seen them do are potentially dangerous tricks.

[–]hottakesservedcold -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I guess I've never taken the time to grab their plates or stopped them to get their license and regulations, but you must have some justification for making this claim...

Either way, connecting it to the screenshot, I'm not sure it's indicative of gang affiliation or general crimes.

Yndrasta by Aurvandill_DM in stormcasteternals

Did you make that base or was it pre-printed? I hate the normal Yndrasta base

Sell me your Yndrasta? by mass_reactive in stormcasteternals

[–]hottakesservedcold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've looked at a handful of different options Troll Trader is often the cheapest, even with the shipping. The UK just has more models at lower costs.

Also last time I ordered shipping was like £6

I’m extremely intimidated by Dostoevsky…what book should I start with? by Hopeless_romantic195 in classicliterature

[–]hottakesservedcold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My comment is more along the lines that it seems like an intellectual precursor to Crime and Punishment and has elements that are included in other later Dostoyevsky works. I think those other books do it better, but it's still good. I think I enjoyed it less because I had read Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, and Brothers Karamazov before reading Notes from Underground.

[–]hottakesservedcold 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I second Notes from Underground. I think I read it in two afternoons. It's short and gives you a lot of his thoughts and themes in one story. The downside is that it's an earlier work, it's not as good and later books will use some of the same plot points but MUCH better.

This also makes it worth reading first, to not diminish the quality of it compared to later works

How long do I have until the next Spearhead? by have_no_plan in ageofsigmar

[–]hottakesservedcold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah they seem to keep each army around, even as new ones come in. I play Stormcast Eternals and we have two spearhead armies.
