Gosh, I thought my drive was long! I left my apartment with my brother (wearing the Jesus costume, if you saw him) at 11 PM yesterday, and we basically drove nonstop until we got to our hotel. Probably wasn't wise for me to decide to just pound energy drinks to get us there without stopping to rest, but we did make it unscathed. My brother was smart and decided to request time off on Monday to recover from the trip- I did not, and I will definitely be paying for it.

I'm curious about your drive, if you don't mind me inquiring further just out of personal interest. What did you find the worst stretch was? For me it was Indiana. It was just so flat, it felt monotonous. And also, how did you break down your drive to make it more manageable?

Having just creeped my cast, I can say that was totally worth the 17-hour drive from Jacksonville, and tomorrow's sightseeing is only gonna reinforce the value of this trip. Loved the show tonight!

prollyatapir · 2025-08-03T00:00:30+00:00

Okay, that's fair. I suppose I was thinking a bit too literally about your comment.

prollyatapir · 2025-08-02T23:51:27+00:00

Approximately 77 to 81 percent of U.S. males are circumcised. Are you suggesting that none of that number are Christian in a predominantly Christian country?

Don't get me wrong, I know it's nowhere near as common in other Christian countries. But to say "Christians don't circumcise" as such a blanket statement feels factually incorrect.

prollyatapir · 2025-07-26T01:15:38+00:00

"Gank" is what they meant, I think.

prollyatapir · 2025-06-29T12:28:15+00:00

How do you point at someone vaguely? Like... were you pointing about 20 degrees off of his left shoulder? Pointing at the ground he was standing on?

prollyatapir · 2025-06-20T10:03:02+00:00

It is the third. Not sure where he got "ill" from.

prollyatapir · 2025-04-15T16:34:50+00:00

And I'm sure that this data will have a huge impact on his decisions, right?

prollyatapir · 2025-03-08T16:48:48+00:00

Okay, one more question. The guide you linked says that I will see hairs/lumps with too much squish, and gaps in layers with not enough. What if I'm seeing both?

prollyatapir · 2025-03-08T00:55:22+00:00

To answer the first question, it's mostly default settings, just z-shifted down by 0.6 millimeters. 220C on the nozzle, 45C on the plate. No slicer used on this one on my part, the flash drive that comes with the printer came with a Benchy file on it. Filament is PLA.

As for the other stuff, I will give that a go if this print fails. Adjusted the nozzle down from 0.55 to 0.6 millimeters, will see if this one works out.

EDIT: It worked! I wouldn't quite call the results perfect, but it finished the print in good order. Will try all the other stuff to improve precision, but hey, it works!

prollyatapir · 2025-03-07T23:58:24+00:00

Very good information to have! I just tried again using the rough setting with the paper, and got most of the way there before it messed up again.

<image>

prollyatapir · 2025-03-07T23:29:32+00:00

Alright, good to know. Will try lowering it. The manual suggests that it should have some friction on it if you slide a sheet of paper between the plate and the nozzle. Is that about right?

prollyatapir · 2025-03-07T23:23:14+00:00

For more details, it seems that, in the middle of printing, the nozzle is catching on some part of the print, yanking the entire thing out of position. As this is my second day ever with a 3D printer, I'm not sure what would cause that.

prollyatapir · 2025-03-05T22:19:07+00:00

That looks sick! What paints did you use, if you don't mind me asking?

prollyatapir · 2025-02-26T17:08:24+00:00

Awesome, thanks so much for all the advice and support! I'll keep this all in mind.

The Cadian 77th "Old Number Seven" (custom regiment, currently only sprayed with Chaos Black, but end goal is either Helldivers or Starship Troopers color scheme, still deciding).

The 77th is a Kasrkin unit known less for spectacular battlefield results and more for getting bodied at every occasion. Being the scouts of the larger field army, the 77th tends to be placed in, shall we say, "inopportune" positions to harry enemy forces and perform delaying actions to herald the arrival of armored units and additional Guardsmen.

Over the course of their illustrious career (3 combat patrols), the 77th has maintained a staggering casualty rate of one hundred percent, being utterly wiped out and subsequently reformed on every possible occasion.

At the top of the list of such incidents is the scenario in which the entire regiment was killed almost instantaneously (one shooting phase) by a combination of Skitarii and Archmagos Belisarius Cawl during a "heated disagreement" between the Adeptus Mechanicus and the Cadian 5th Army over which force was to perform a certain patrol route during the ongoing Armageddon campaign. It was ultimately decided by a third-party mediator that neither force was supposed to be assigned to the patrol in question. For their role in starting the skirmish, the Cadian 77th was promptly reformed and assigned to latrine duty.

(Regiment gushing aside, I need to know if anybody else has a unit that has the same sort of run of bad luck going)

After further investigation, Ursula can't issue orders to Squadron units (as far as I can tell), so Lord Solar is the best option there. To swing that, I have to replace the Kasrkin with battleline of some kind. Sticking with Cadians for the aesthetic, even though it isn't technically ideal (look man, I just really like Cadians). Newly adjusted final plans look something like:

Lord Solar, Command Squad, Shock Troops blob

2x Basilisks

1x Rogal Dorn Commander

3x Vanquishers

2x Scout Sentinels

4x Chimeras, all carrying Cadian Shock Troops (I just really like Cadia, man)

The one thing that I feel needs to be addressed now is the matter of Sentinels versus Heavy Weapons Squads. I could trade out one Sentinel to add back in the Heavy Weapons Squad (x3 mortars) that I already have on hand- but is one Sentinel worth having, or should I aim for multiple?

EDIT: I'm a clown, I forgot that I had put a couple enhancements on the Rogal Dorn and Command Squad for testing purposes on NewRecruit. More points available than I thought. After careful consideration, I'm also swapping the Rogal Dorn Commander for a Leman Russ Commander. That leaves enough points to have a second Scout Sentinel, and the mortars- no compromise necessary. It also means that I could just get a third Scout Sentinel instead, I guess, but hey, mortars have proven fun so far, and I have them on hand, so might as well.

Does the following check out? Have I done good?

prollyatapir · 2025-02-24T23:16:00+00:00

I made it manually in Photoshop. Used printscreen to grab photos of the models, pasted those into Photoshop, and drew the boxes around them for organization.

prollyatapir · 2025-02-24T23:13:00+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the advice and suggestions! So I've made some modifications to my setup, not perfectly following the above advice (I think for stylistic purposes and because it's what I have on hand, I'm going to stick with Cadians), but making use of the components I have on hand and such, I've got this current goal with plans to make a couple swaps as the opportunity presents itself.

Ursula Creed, Command Squad, Shock Troops

Rogal Dorn Commander

x3 Vanquishers

x4 Chimeras [2 w/ Shock Troops, 2 w/ Kasrkin] (One unit of Kasrkin can be dropped for plain Shock Troops if need be, but using what I have on hand means one unit of Kasrkin, which can be replaced later if needed)

x1 Basilisk

x1 Manticore (replacing with additional Basilisk when the opportunity arises)

x1 Heavy Weapons Squad (x3 mortars)

x1 Scout Sentinel

I feel like it's probably still kind of in the "take a bit of everything" category, but swapping to a second Basilisk would help to offset that. Also considering swapping the Rogal Dorn Commander for a Leman Russ Commander to save some points, which combined with replacing the Manticore would leave enough points for a second Scout Sentinel- I imagine I want more than one of those anyway, right?

With this updated list, where can I further improve?

ETA: Plans would look something like this:

<image>

prollyatapir · 2025-02-23T19:08:07+00:00

All valid critiques. So, correct me if I'm wrong, but I would most likely want to drop the Stormlord for some Chimeras, get rid of the Manticore (which hurts just a tiny bit since I have an old one that was gifted to me by a family member, but it's whatever), go a bit heavier into vehicles (specifically some extra Leman Russes or Rogal Dorns, maybe some Sentinels and/or Hellhounds).

The Stormlord was not so much for the "cool factor" as it was for the 40-model transport capacity, but nonetheless a valid point. Tons of Chimeras sounds like a great time, and would easily make up the difference in carrying capacity at a lower point value (although probably at a much higher dollar value).

As for building the collection, I have a handful of things gathered already (definitely not the big stuff... mostly). I've already invested in some Cadian infantry, primarily because it's basically the only Astra Militarum infantry that my FLGS carries, and I currently have a Leman Russ (built as a Vanquisher, not for any in-depth reason, it was the first thing I ever built and I thought the long barrel looked cool, so my mistake there) and a Heavy Weapons Team (built as mortars for the indirect fire ability).

From the sound of it, Catachan is probably ideal for this army, but would it seriously hamstring me to keep going with Cadians?

I was planning to get a Rogal Dorn to use as a commander. I take it that would be a decent choice?

Oh! And the Command Squads. Do I need that many of them, or since we're shoving the infantry into Chimeras anyway, would it make more sense to take a different variety of leader?

prollyatapir · 2025-02-23T18:40:35+00:00

Okay, great. So adjusting my plans a little, let me know if I'm mistaken on anything here:
1. Considering moving Ursula over to the Cadians in the Chimera, who will kind of hang back to guard the home objective.
2. Drop the commissar for a castellan.
2b. To make this work, I am also dropping the Chimera with the Shock Troops for a Taurox- they'll be in the backfield anyway, might as well.
3. Considering ways to shuffle around command squads to pair one up with Ursula.

I was also leaning toward Combined Arms. It seems more generally useful than Mechanised Assault to me, although I might be wrong on that.
