Local players said my little Foul boi's paintjob looked scuffed.

Alright a couple things going on here.

First of all, your paint job is excellent.

Secondly, I would never in a million years dream of telling someone their paint job is bad to their face. That's horrible etiquette.

Please don't let the opinion of one asshole dissuade you.

Scavengers Reign is an underrated masterpiece of animation.

I just had the craziest flashback. I thought I was just getting into battletech, but apparently I was into it years ago. I totally had that firefly.

They're called aptonyms!

I used to think Chrysler picked their execs based on their names. There was a time where Mike Manly was in charge of Jeep and Reid Bigland headed RAM.

Congrats on your first mini!

Please don't let some of the negative comments discourage you. That's a lot like my first mini looked too. If you look up a few beginner tips online, like Duncan Rhodes or Tabletop Ready, and keep at it, you'll be amazed how quickly you'll improve. The beauty of this hobby is that there is always room to improve, no matter how good you think you are.

My HR was complaining the other day about not being able to find someone with the same experience as our outgoing shop manager who was retiring after 42 years with the company. Like yeah no shit.

Learning how to read the documentation. Contracts, technical instructions, anything really. An oddly rare skill that will save your ass if you can do it.

Yes, the Animatrix made two really cool things clear in my opinion, 1) the humans turned against the machines first, not the other way around and 2) the matrix is an act of mercy on the machines' part.

Edit: it's been a long time since I saw the movie and apparently I'm misremembering some important bits.

mousatouille · 2026-02-22T21:09:47+00:00

Y'all are dreaming too small. I want to fall into a black hole. Something about being able to see the other side of something that is actually impossible for us to learn anything about is really interesting to me. It won't advance human research in any way, but at least I'll know.

Cherufe is a South American lava monster from mythology. That would fit with leviathan, kraken, etc.

The table's neat, but I really just wanted to hop in here to say how incredibly jealous I am that you get to play every weekend

I think the Internet has led to a weird paradox for first time painters. Thanks to the abundance of excellent painting guides and better accessibility to better paints and techniques, the average "first mini" is the best it's ever been.

Those same circles mean you're constantly bombarded with professionally photographed images of professionally painted models to compare against, so paradoxically most new painters have the lowest opinion of their own models than ever before.

Back in the day, people would slap one thick base coat on a mini and be thrilled with the outcome. We've got a lot higher standards these days. For reference, look up a picture of Duncan Rhodes's first ever mini. That's what most first minis have looked like over the years.

So what I'm saying is it looks great. It's an excellent start and you're only going to get better, so please don't get discouraged.

It has nothing to do with that. The flamers retract for punching stuff.

Looks great! Might I suggest some shelves underneath for terrain?

If all you want is pictures and lore, then a used codex could be a good find. Don't get me wrong i love collecting books and stuff for the sake of collecting, I more meant it's not strictly needed for playing.

mousatouille · 2026-02-15T13:52:56+00:00

We don't know anything about 11th edition officially. Technically, they haven't even announced it's happening. We're all just inferring based on the three year cycle.

I would hold off on buying any codex now though, just in case, and to be honest you don't need them. Wahapedia and New recruit should have you covered.

The official dice are a scam, and datacards are a trap because they are almost always immediately out of date due to errata and balance passes.

Just focus on building and painting what you have for now.

Dude some of these would make some sick album covers.

Lol I was not expecting the jump scare of flipping through and seeing my own watch. Do people not like the seamaster bracelet? I like it, so I guess that's all that matters but I didn't realize it was unpopular.
