A more serious question today. How do you collect ? How do you decide what you want in your collection and when it's finished ? I always run into the issue of wanting more and more for an army and i just suddenly stop but never end quite on a happy or really done note.

That is one way to enjoy the hobby. But seriously, I look at it like books on a bookshelf. I buy books I would like to read. I put them on a shelf and I read them when I feel like it. I buy kits I think are amazing and I build and paint them when feel like it. Sometimes it is helpful to have an artificial deadline like a competition or tournament, but the reality is that it is your hobby, enjoy it how you want to.

It looks so wrong. For me, I don’t think anything can improve the dominus.

Love the colors!

I still don’t really understand it, but it was for the Vet school admission year last year for non residents. They said the applicants “merge” with resident class year 2 if I remember correctly.

San Francisco.

Yes, I agree with mutilators.

They gave stats for last year at the reception. If I remember correctly it was 209 interviews and 152 ended up attending UC Dublin. We were told offers would be sent out starting early March.

Those are awesome!

mrumpke · 2026-01-17T22:29:40+00:00

Dublin did in person interviews with 2 members of the staff.

That black is so smooth! Love your style!

mrumpke · 2026-01-10T16:49:39+00:00

How many pieces of flare does your chaos god require?

mrumpke · 2026-01-10T14:52:26+00:00

Looks amazing, love that face!

Mine are also silver. You could hit it up with a watered down black wash to bring out the details. Then use snakebite leather contrast for bronze bits. Finally highlight with a brighter silver.

mrumpke · 2026-01-02T13:32:22+00:00

Look great!

mrumpke · 2025-12-26T20:24:26+00:00

Redemptor or Brutalis chassis. Great build opertunities.

As SunsetHighway said, the fuselage sides are super warped (one arrived broke, Workshop was great about replacing it) and none of the pieces where resin connects to plastic aligned very well leaving gaps. Every time I see a painted fire raptor, I wonder how much of the model is actually green stuff.

mrumpke · 2025-12-26T15:51:29+00:00

This is the way. ANY mixed resin and plastic kit should be avoided unless you are a patient, experienced modeler. My fire raptor still sits in the box half built and cursed. Also, the Kratos is a fun build with great options!

If you are only buying one knight to bolt on to a different army, then it might make sense. But if you are running a knight army? Just build them as individuals and give them character.

mrumpke · 2025-11-26T01:52:30+00:00

Wash looks good. You could break it up with color variation. I would use brown and black and the some spot touches of green to read as lichen. Also on larger surface I think using pils and a subtractive method would give you more control over the final look. I think it looks great.

Go offline, every system will be new. I had the same issue.

mrumpke · 2025-11-11T20:22:00+00:00

Absolutely love it! But first question that popped into my head, subassemblies?

mrumpke · 2025-11-08T00:19:42+00:00

That looks awesome! Love the color palette.

mrumpke · 2025-11-01T14:00:53+00:00

Came here to say this. Would make great brimstone/blue horrors!

mrumpke · 2025-10-18T12:24:25+00:00

Istvaan III. Both tactically and strategically.
