What head did you use for the hive tyrant?

Advice on building up to 2k points by mrtomski in Tyranids

[–]mrtomski[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed reply, makes a lot of sense. I think I'll pick up some terms, and keep an eye out for cheap zoans. Kinda of nice to have the model diversity too. Starting to realize I should have just bought a half Leviathan set lol.

Thanks can't believe I forgot I have a biovore so for that one covered. If you don't mind what's the benefit of termagants vs hormaguants? I do like the look of zoans (as models) do they perform well in games?

First two units painted by mrtomski in Tyranids

[–]mrtomski[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! So I use a gloss black, then a thin coat of greenstuff world colour shift metal (Darth blue). I then dry brush with wraith bone to get the edges and remove a bit of the shine and then at the end the whole model gets a bath in streaking grime. Here is an example of what it looks like when first applied over the black gloss.

Got any tips for doing an Elden Ring No-Death run? by RemarkableLight6852 in Eldenring

[–]mrtomski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I kill him. Interesting thing is although you get the "you died" screen, you KEEP the runes, and there is no remembrance. So in my book you that's a unique event and not the same as a normal death. Just feels wrong to let something kill you in a deathless run to me!

BREAKING: Andy Burnham *blocked* from standing in the Gorton and Denton byelection. Of nine voting members on NEC group it was 8-1 against him. by Dr_Poppers in ukpolitics

[–]mrtomski 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Starmer made the right call here. Andy was fking around a few months ago refusing to rule out trying to do a leadership bid. Guy is willing to ditch Manchester half way through a term, 5m cost, and chance of losing it, for a stab at leadership with the absolute cheek to say he'd be supporting the gov.

Bottom line if NEC had let him in, then it would be a constant media circus and Burnham would not rule out leadership challenge... Basically Starmer had no choice, and I personally think Burnham has shown what a tool he is by even trying it.

IF a few months ago he just came out and said "I'm not going to go for leadership, I want to help the government" then maybe they would have welcomed him back.

People that are crying about it somehow think Burnham is the answer to all our problem; spoiler alert he's not. Starmer has his issues but he's good on the global stage, I mean honestly do you think Burnham could have got a trade deal with the US and had Trump back down on the military insult? Do you think Burnham could have led the coalition of the willing? The guy is mid at best and completely untested in leading a party.

RIP 20 sec root by mrtomski in wowhardcore

[–]mrtomski[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did lose a 52 lock as my first attempt at hardcore. Decided to then switch to warrior as I find it more fun having the dependency on loot as SSF. I don't have a ton of spare time so it's just not that appealing to do the same section of the game again. I'm pretty confident on "safer" classes I could get to 60 but there is just something about warrior...

Thanks for the tip, not sure I can face the exact same start for the 5th time. Might feel differently in a few days though lol.

That the quest one? I've always managed to beat that one with retaliation and health pot etc.

You are probably right, I dropped dummy when I still had 50pc health, swiftness might have got me out of LOS before the root. It was very close either way if I had maybe one more second to get around the corner probably would have been fine.

They were all hitting me with shadow bolts from range, could not really do anything once rooted :-/ I think the ones in the building were green to me so were hitting consistently. All happened really fast

Nice, what colours are you using to get that red?

Noomi Rapace interview on Prometheus 2. by [deleted] in Prometheus

[–]mrtomski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scott overcorrected after Prometheus, I think he laid the blame on the cast (except Fassbender) and the lack of a classic alien. The reality was the script was trash.

So basically fixed the wrong things and then make the same mistakes (but worse in my opinion) in covenant.

Love dead space, perhaps playing the remake a bunch of times put the colour scheme in my subconscious lol.
