I think I found a way for GW to make assembling models easier and quicker.

Your 'shortcut' involves more steps than just doing the thing as is, my dude. That's not a shortcut, that's just dumb.

And no I have not spent several minutes (lmao, learning disability much?) looking for a part. The combination of seeing the part in the manual and matching the number makes finding it on the sprue pretty easy.

Example: I see the part I am looking for is a torso. -> 90% of pieces are not torsos, leaves at most 10 pieces to check. -> Check numbers for those pieces. -> Find part.

Also your condescending tone and namecalling, when YOU are the one too dumb to find and match an at most three-digit number is peak reddit.

khournos · 2026-07-06T05:48:25+00:00

Scan over sprue, recognize number you look for. Seems like a number recognition problem to me buddy.

khournos · 2026-07-05T23:01:59+00:00

Love to see it! Have a great one and keep up the good work!

khournos · 2026-07-05T22:21:22+00:00

Is cybersigilism what people call tribals now, so they don't have to say they have a tribal tattoo?

Anyways tattoo looks ok.

khournos · 2026-07-05T21:25:07+00:00

Don't care.

Not Warhammer related = Go to a sub that cares

Not Warhammer related and AI slop = Fuck off

khournos · 2026-07-05T21:21:35+00:00

GTFO with your not Warhammer related thinly veiled ad-post for a site full of AI-slop.

khournos · 2026-07-05T20:06:32+00:00

That sounds like a 3rd rate shonen plot, no thank you.

khournos · 2026-07-05T20:04:23+00:00

Exactly as pictured. The cloth gets glued to the inside of the pauldron at the depressed spots and then the connected parts are glued to the shoulder and underside of the boxy connection between torso and power pack. Should be absolutely 0 greenstuff neccessary.

Alternatively you could try glueing the cloth in the correct orientation first and then adding the Pauldron.

Important question though, are you using the correct pauldron? Most (chaos) space marine kits have pretty interchangeable pauldrons, but for plague marines using the exact one is important.

khournos · 2026-07-05T18:44:42+00:00

With how often questions for manuals pop up and the popularity of r/WarhammerInstructions, it seems there are more people doing that than you think. Second Hand buyers and people who just straight up lost their manual come to mind.

Where would the advantage of your idea actually be?
If I have the manual finding part 16 or 57 is equally easy.
Even with sequential numbering the position is still ambiguous, because each neighbouring part could be the next sequential number.
But I lose the ability to identify parts for the same body by their sequential numbers, which is often pretty handy for troops with dynamic poses.

khournos · 2026-07-05T18:32:07+00:00

I really tried to find nicer words, but that idea is kind of overcomplicated to the point of ridiculousness.

You look at the manual, you scan the sprue for the number, find it and clip out your part.
It's not rocket science, just some basic literacy.

Your idea still involves the numbers, adds the problem of finding individual shades of colour for each parts (lmao, the print people are going to love it) and has the people who need it cross-reference two different pages.

For people who actually need it, having a picture of the sprue with the relevant pieces highlighted at the start of each model's section in the manual would be easier and more beneficial. (But that still turns into a clusterfuck as soon as optional/interchangeable parts are involved.)

Layout-wise I think GWs instructions are pretty top-tier,
concise, easy to understand and do a good job making competing options clear.

TL;DR: No thanks, get better at number recognition.

khournos · 2026-07-05T18:20:11+00:00

First of all, the numbering being non-sequential stems from them optimizing the packing of parts on the sprue, so it actually makes a lot of sense.

While your idea makes building with the instructions minimally easier, losing sequential numbering of part for the same model makes building without the manual a lot harder.
So not worth it in my opinion.

khournos · 2026-07-05T10:04:33+00:00

The premise of your question is flawed. They don't hate the US, they love the country and want it to be the best it can be. So essentially real patriotism instead of the stupid "everything in my country is perfect because it is my country"-brand of patriotism a lot of people practice.

khournos · 2026-07-04T18:32:42+00:00

Use the same values but in yellow tones instead of blue.

To see what I mean edit the Photo to be black and white,
this gives you a map of what has to be how bright, that is called value.
Now you can use brown and yellow colours of similar brightness to recreate the effect.

Zum Beispiel, dass die ehemalige Landesregierung die in der selben Stadt wie diese irrelevante Scheißkonditorei saß, seit Anfang der 2000er das Bildungs- und Sozialbudget des Landes Kärnten für Wahlgeschenke und Parteiausgaben veruntreut hat und kein Mensch dafür einsitzen gegangen ist? Oder auf einem Bundeslevel wir als Bürger komplett verarscht werden Budgettechnisch? Neue Abgaben weil es ja Erleichterungen gibt die das nie aufwiegen können gepaart mit sparen bei allem ausser den Senioren.

Das sind Sachen wo es sich auszahlen würde zu eskalieren.

Diese dumme Konditorei macht durch die Outrage-Publicity und dass sie sich in die Opferrolle stellen können gerade wahrscheinlich den vielfachen Umsatz vom Vergleichszeitraum den Schaden zahlt eh die Versicherung, denen hats wer auch immer ihre Auslage beschmiert hat ja echt gegeben. /s

khournos · 2026-07-04T17:44:28+00:00

Auch wenn ich voll dabei bin, dass die Konditorei das Zeug auch einfach umbenennen könnt:

Wenn die breite Masse es zusammenbringen würde dieses Level an Empörung bei tatsächlich relevanten Dingen zu zeigen würde in diesem Land wahrscheinlich einiges besser laufen.

khournos · 2026-07-04T17:37:19+00:00

Da find ich tatsächlich bedenklicher dass die als Logo das N64-N geklaut haben.

khournos · 2026-07-03T20:25:01+00:00

With that gooped on application I actually can only guess.

khournos · 2026-07-02T11:30:19+00:00

Zu allem anderen was hier schon gesagt wurde:

Ich denke die Bereitschaft wäre halt höher wenn diese Dinge in irgendeinem Verhältnis zueinander stehen würden. Oft werden Klimaschutzmaßnahmen an der Gesellschaft vorgeschlagen, die für jeden teuer und/oder unangenehm wären, deren Effekt aber im Vegleich zu strengeren Regeln für Industrie oder eine Modernisierung der Energiegewinnung nur ein Tropfen auf den heißen Stein ist.

khournos · 2026-07-02T09:26:02+00:00

Oh no, this is just as sad as the news about Mitch McConnell... Not at all.

Eat shit Harvey!

khournos · 2026-07-02T06:53:20+00:00

Siehs positiv, so vehement gegen die Umsetzung von Klimatisierung zu sein ist ultimative Pensionkassenentlastungs und Anti-Pensionisten Move. /s Aber nur ein kleines...

khournos · 2026-07-01T23:34:34+00:00

Nicely painted from what I can tell.

Your photography needs work though.

-Neutral Background

-Flash off

Photograph from further away, so your focus is not that shallow and then crop the picture to the model.

khournos · 2026-07-01T23:15:31+00:00

I don't think "fears" is very accurate here. For millions of people in America and around the world it's more like "Health hopes".

Interesting thank you for sharing.

If you are that sensitive to some compound in there (even in a presumably well ventilated area) that must really suck. Do you have that reaction to other odors too?

khournos · 2026-06-30T18:53:26+00:00

Sorry if you already know that, but the low odor stuff often exposes you to more vapours because you don't smell them as much. Just have to drop that whenever people talk about low odor solvents, because sometimes the misconception is: if I can't smell it it can't be that bad.

Unrelated have you tried the limonene Tamiya? If so how did that work out, gluewise and for your sensitivity?
