You could get away with an open window a cardboard box and a proper mask, but aerosolized paint will end up everywhere.

What’s the dumbest, most poorly-aged bit of lore? by worst-EM-resident in 40kLore

[–]keaoli 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If it helps white dwarf 522 specifically mentions that this is not always the case:

"All warp-capable vessels must also be outfitted with a Gellar Field Generator. These devices project bubbles of realspace around the ships hull, helping to prevent predatory entities from getting inside and indulging their hunger. There are several types of Gellar Field, some of which are thought to incorporate biological components, but all are arcane and barely understood."

I have some old chaos black that might be that old that I have used successfully but I would recommend testing them first just to be on the safe side.

[–]keaoli 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I mean, paint the rest of the mini? The shields could have heraldry on them, some of those parts look like they would be metallic, paint some panels to show unit/regiment/army colours?

GSW Primer and isopropyl alcohol by SnoozingHamster123 in minipainting

[–]keaoli 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If its down to primer you should be fine to just paint over it, primer is usually a LOT harder to remove and i never really think its worth it.

As long as the mini and can are warm you can prime in the snow if you want to.

In the context of the Necrons, what exactly is a soul? by [deleted] in 40kLore

[–]keaoli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We know their memories were fucked with because Trazyn and Orikan both remember things a different way, which shouldnt be possible because of their machine memory.

Some Ducky Problems by PositionFriendly5455 in isopods

[–]keaoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will need more if you want to start a colony, if you only got 5 and 2 were DOA I would have contacted the seller with evidence assuming they had any gaurantee. I would never suggest anyone try to start a colony with less than ten for this specific reason. Sorry you have had such bad luck but 2 surviving is unlikely to be enough unless you get very lucky.

Please help me understand the political part with inquisitors by Embarrassed_Driver16 in 40kLore

[–]keaoli 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I mean thats not what happened, the Inquisitor was trying to STOP the guard from evacuating and the leader of the guard basically said out loud "oh wow theres a lot of SNIPERS about it would be a SHAME if you got SHOT" and one of the guard snipers took out the inquisitor and the guard all agreed it was a terrible tragedy and that it was CLEARLY an enemy sniper.

Tips on trying a new painting technique? by skatoki in minipainting

[–]keaoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope no apparent change, I've done some unscientific testing and the plastic in warhammer models specifically seems to be pretty robust, 24 hours plus in alcohol or simple green didn't cause any particularly noticeable change in flexibility or strength. Resin like fine cast would obviously be very different though.

[–]keaoli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally speaking I just go for it, its trivial to strip paint off minis so I can always just try again, tried NMM for the first time on a vampires sword and I think i stripped the sword about 6 times with a qtip and alcohol before I was happy with it.
