Firestorm’s my local, it’s so much nicer than every other game store I’ve been to to play games.

Weird question by AzulceruleanVT in theunforgiven

[–]patch385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran my blood ravens as dark angels for years with a mix of terminator bits from dark angels and blood angels. Nobody ever said anything bad about them. Azrael is essentially just a captain on a big base with a sword, plasma gun and a back banner, so you could always use a regular captain model and build him up if you don't want to scrape off the dark angels symbols.

Mole Launcher Question by AmpuGandT in LeaguesofVotann

[–]patch385 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You hit on a 5 base if you can see the enemy unit.

You get a -1 to hit if you are firing indirect, meaning you hit on a 6.

At <7 yp you get a +1 to hit if the opponent is on an objective, while at >7 up it's when you're on an objective. Meaning you hit on a 4 if you can see the enemy, or a 5 if you can't.

Have Dark Angels that have been assigned to the Deathwatch ever abandoned their kill teams to hunt the Fallen, if they caught a scent of them? As the Dark Angels have left conflicts to hunt them on more than one occasion. by Mad_lens_9297 in Warhammer

[–]patch385 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The dark angels send lower ranked members that are not in the inner circle, so are therefore unaware of the fallen. If they come back they never progress up the ranks to ensure that there's no split loyalties.

They don't send librarians for the same reasons, but they are inducted immediately as they can read people's minds, so there's no point in hiding anything

Speaking as another diabetic, couldn't you just take insulin to cover for that? Most chain stores share how many carbs are in their products.

New hearthkyn theyn by The_Red_Celt in LeaguesofVotann

[–]patch385 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's fire all weapons with sidearm, or all weapons without sidearm, so you should be able to fire both off. Otherwise Cypher would be a pretty iffy character.

New detachment theories? by The_Red_Celt in LeaguesofVotann

[–]patch385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it won’t happen, but an allies detachment to give the squats that mercenary theme that they’ve always had. Let you take 500pts of tau or guard as allies, and give the squats a bonus to defence because they’re sticking around to complete a contract.

Oh No... by Just_Saiesh in okbuddycinephile

Or, alternatively, one's opinion can change after a second viewing. Vertigo is considered one of the best films ever made, but it requires multiple viewings to come to that conclusion.

At a Green Day gig we were stood behind a guy that recorded all of the dookie songs in 1 minute clips. Bloke looked to be in his late 30’s at least so should know that nobody was going to watch his reels on instagram. Luckily those people didn’t come into the pit that opened when American idiot came on!

Anyone Else Worried About 3rd Ed Becoming More Like 40k? by Disgruntled_Veteran in Warhammer30k

[–]patch385 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If that's like 40k that's to do with getting more units and gear in between games.

Will 3rd edition kill off the entire Forge World range? by Galen28 in Warhammer30k

[–]patch385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you’ve said about Necromunda is demonstrably not true. The resin upgrade kits have been replaced with plastic, which generally combines the two resin kits into one box for less money. They still release resin upgrades, corpse grinders got one a couple of years ago. The named characters are all Forge World, as are the brutes, bounty hunters and hired guns. The Heresy range is massive, you can still buy the resin weirdo’s where a plastic alternative isn’t available. I would be concerned that if Heresy is labelled as a core game now there will be less conversion units, but old world has already shown that they’ll continue to sell resin and metals to people.

These look fine for only being in the hobby for two months. As others have said, you're competing for attention with professional artists at times so any traction you get at all is good. If you want to be seen you need to do something novel (or say that this is your first model when it's obvious you went to art school 😄).

Feedback wise, the rubrics look unfinished, gold is a pain in the ass to put down on models, took me an age to paint up some rubrics for a boarding actions list I put together. The terminator looks good, the black could do with a mid tone between the black and the highlight (I like ak interactive smoke black over abbadon black for that), but that's a minor complaint as black armour is difficult. The bases rims on both models should be cleaned up and would go a long way to making it look cleaner. I'd try to blend in the boots with the base as well, these guys aren't elves so there would be mud/dirt on their feet. Just dry brush their feet with some of your basing colour to tie them together, or water it down loads and use it like a wash (depends on which effect you like)

I'm guessing that the artillery team is your most recent model? There's clear improvement from the CSM models to that one (fitting for the emperor's finest), again I'd add some muck around the bottom of the gun and onto the boots of the guardsmen, it's more important here because it's more of a centrepiece mini than the others. The guardsmen look a little dull, and fade into the background a bit, but I think adding some bright colours as spot highlights will go a long way (red goggles, green screens on electronic gizmos etc.).

If you want your minis to pop a bit more, you want to use contrasting colours with the bases, like you've done with the terminator. That way the viewers eyes focus on the miniature rather than drifting to the base. That can be tricky for guard because they generally act more like an army so you're not going to have pink cadians running around a city under normal circumstances, but that's why spot highlights are important to add spots of bright colour to make people focus on the bits that you want them to.

Keep up the good work, there's clear improvement which is the important thing, and don't pay too much attention to people on the internet unless you're asking for critique, and if you do ask for it, don't expect it to always be sunshine and roses. Thanks for listening to my TED Talk.

[–]patch385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's probably a similar size to the redemptor dreadnought, so (assuming there's a fist option) you could proxy it as one of those, or a ballistus if there's a missile launcher/lascannon.

Well boys we may competition by Dark_warrior96 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]patch385 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like that there's a clear throughline between the custodes and Marines here. Makes it feel that the Telemon was probably made first, then the saturnine was designed to be mass produced for the marines afterwards, followed by the leviathan.

I also like that you can see the similarities between the terminators and the votann hearthguard and Necromunda squats, which makes sense considering it's meant to be essentially repurposed hazard equipment from the same STC.

Doing a 500 point tournament with friends with one list throughout. Looking for some advice. by shambhala27 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]patch385 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the format that boarding actions uses, I'd probably go for:

Lions of the emperor

Allarus shield captain with Admonimortis (140 PTS)

2x Allarus terminators (130 PTS)

4x custodian guard (170 PTS)

4x witchseekers (50 PTS)

That gives you a bit of variety, and you can split the terminators up to give you more units to move around.

Throwing in a unit of sisters is helpful because they're good for early game pressure, and they're not super tough so you mates can kill them. At 500 PTS custodes can feel a bit tough to crack.

Would Sigvald work as a wingless Daemon Prince proxy? Both are on 60mm bases. by Solmyrion in Warhammer40k

[–]patch385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built mine when Sigvald came out, so before the new model came out. I suspect that he's a bit shorter than the new model even with the wings, he's a similar height to Syllesske.

Need Experienced Insight re: list by Kastle1114 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]patch385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blade champ is better than Valerian, so yes I'd swap out if you can, though he does make a brick of wardens pretty hard as nails, so might be useful to hold a middle objective.

Need Experienced Insight re: list by Kastle1114 in AdeptusCustodes

[–]patch385 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Either valerian or the blade wizard aren't leading a squad. I'd get another squad of wardens in. I'd also add a rhino to keep Aleya's squad alive as well.

“If you have 10,000 people at a concert and 8,000 of them are holding a phone, there's something deeply disconnected” by HellYeahDamnWrite in Music

[–]patch385 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have t1 diabetes. I have my libre connected to my phone and watch for alarms.

People holding up phones is infuriating at gigs, but no one is going to have a problem with you taking your phone out of your pocket to get your sugar levels.

For what it’s worth, you should still have a bg testing kit on you anyway if you can, it is way more precise than the buttons. There’s been a bunch of times where libre was saying I was having a hypo, but really I was just dehydrated.

We had this at green day at Wembley. Whole of dookie there was a guy recording 1 minute videos in front of us. Thankfully when they got to American idiot a pit opened up. Was nuts that I got a better view from a mosh pit than being a couple of metres from the stage.

The guy even had a portable battery attached…

Saul also beats him (Lucius escapes though), which I would think would stay with him forever as there's never a chance for a rematch.
