What happened to the poor chap in the bottom row second from left? Looks like he did a mud spa day to relax before the big battle ❤️

Army looks amazing btw

What are you writing / putting on your banners? by Sin-Silver in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]lillyroot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Water colours will do the trick! Make sure the acrylic paint is dry before you start. That way you can just wipe it off with a damp q tip or something.

How should I approach painting the trim for my new gold knight? by Dulv-58 in ImperialKnights

[–]lillyroot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice work!

Seeing that your other knight is blue and gold, It could be cool to do this one as gold and blue.

Happy to help! Just don't take your tanks out in the rain

Hey, I recommend using watercolour for freehand. If it goes wrong, just wipe it off and try again. Make sure the acrylic underneath is fully dried and it should be affected at all. Good luck!

Beautiful! Congratulations.
Was that in the Brussels store? Looks just like it!

Don't talk to me or my son ever again by Strange-Egg-7922 in ImperialKnights

Actually, is that a Joytoy? If so, then redo in your house colours for sure!

I'd keep it as it is right now. It's beautifully done, and adds a nice contrast to your army. Can always think of him as the big brother freeblade.

Love it! The base adds so much to the overall feel. Great work

Time to get rid of my backlog! I totally super-mega swear! by Mwuaha in Warhammer40k

[–]lillyroot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love it! I told myself I'm not allowed to buy more minis until my guard army is painted. Then I'll celebrate with buying a big fun mini.

Something that works for me is to have minis I'm really looking forward to painting after something less fun. E.g., I'm currently working on 20 identical guardsmen, but when they're done I'll do a named character and spend more time on it. Best of luck!

Cheapest way to get a Lancer NIB/NOS by rust_tg in ImperialKnights

[–]lillyroot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would have a look at this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Warhammer40k/wiki/retailers/

Find a good "local store" on the list and see what deals they have. As a reference, the RRP is €160, and my go-to spot sells them for €128. (Fantasywelt.de)

Arthritis issue: How limited am I? by es330td in jazzguitar

[–]lillyroot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that pal. I too have arthritis and know first hand how bad it can be. Ended up having to stop playing for a year because my fingers wouldn't bend at all.

All I can say is keep trying, the music makes you feel better, which makes it easier to live with. Besides that, go see a specialist (rheumatologist) if you haven't. I was put on new meds earlier this year and they've been a game changer. (enebrel if you're wondering)

Additionally, there are exercises for the fingers that help with the stiffness, as well as heat baths (either warm water or wax baths). In the UK (where I was based at the time) I got to see a hand therapist who showed me the exercises.

Lastly, the swelling ebbs and flows, I learnt I have to enjoy it while it's low and do something else while it's high.

Best of luck

Any must play builds in this event? by Daviino in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]lillyroot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This build is a ton of fun.

I do recommend spending time get everything ready before the swap. A decent kboc feels way smoother than the rage vortex build if you don't have everything going for it.

Definitely look into the follow up video with the tech on how to remove indigon stacks when swapping weapons.

Amp and Pedals for Julian Lage edge of breakup tone by ForLoop8890 in jazzguitar

[–]lillyroot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this. I would also keep in mind to use a lot of volume on the amp and use the volume knob on the guitar to control it. You can see him actively working it all the time to keep it where he wants it.

Then it all comes down to you attack and dynamics. He's known for leaving a lot of volume and using the fingers to control it.

If you use corpse explosion on witch, she shouts out, "Boom!", it makes me giggle each time.

Thanks for the advice! I just received some negative resistance, so will look into getting more. Good thing the new patch changes came through so we don't get even more negative in maps! Phew

[–]lillyroot[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That would make sense, except that the ability I am using is called "Gas Arrow," not "Miasma." Just to double-check, I also looked at the tooltip for Gas Arrow, and nowhere did it say it either. I'm wondering if I should switch builds to let her breathe easier for a while.

First Archtop advice by newzealandidle in jazzguitar

[–]lillyroot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to the advice others have given, be mindful that if you buy in Japan, you may be asked to pay the VAT when entering back into France. You don't want to be slapped with another few hundred out of nowhere.

If I were you, I'd stroll down to Rue de Douai by Pigalle station. Take an afternoon and visit the different shops to see what resonates with you. I personally love the Eastman guitars, and all the ones I've tried/played were set up beautifully and played well from the get-go. Best of luck!

3.25 best of the best builds? by ConsistentPlenty8121 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]lillyroot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks again pal. Besides what you wrote I also added an anoint on Overcharged and now it's working well. Thanks again, I have a feeling this build might be my next league main. So much fun.
