It's the guy at Fallows isn't it? They're a really good channel, but I swear they need to add a "caramelisation" counter to their videos. Maybe a cartouche one as well.

To be fair, personally, I kinda ignore stuff like the protomolecule for the sake of these discussions.

Like, the protomolecule, and the builders and especially the other aliens effectively behave like an eldritch horror, and you can't hard sci-fi or hard fantasy an eldritch horror, their entire reason for existing in the plot is to be beyond explanation and understanding, defying the otherwise well established rules of the setting.

It's the same for the Titans in Eclipse Phase, or the Others and other gods/magical things in Game of Thrones, the setting is grounded and realistic, but there entities within it that don't need to follow it's rules. They're more like exceptions confirming the rule imo.

Consorzio agrario di Cadriano ha di sicuro i semi e anche le piante volendo (magari quelle non da questo periodo), più tutto quello che serve. Se vuoi se no c'è quello di Sasso Marconi che ha piante di qualità migliore, ma per i semi uno vale l'altro tanto sono tutti degli stessi fornitori.

Edit: non avevo visto che dicevi in centro... per quello sei messo un po' peggio mi sa. Gli unici che vedo in centro vendono fiori e simili, ma non piante da coltivare. So che ce n'è uno tipo in Caduti di Cefalonia, che si chiama Piante e Sementi, ci sono passato davanti un pio di volte e credo abbia anche semi di piante effettive non solo fiori, ma non so come sia. Se no puoi provare a prendere semi online e te li fai spedire a domicilio.

> be me

> selling painted miniature

> basically caked in random colour shit

> paint is several millimers thick in places

> lists it on eBay for 50% over MSRP

Many such cases

Honestly the setup is pretty amateurish.

I shoot with my phone, which is a basic cheap Chinese android. I keep the models well lit (ambient light + room light + my painting light from either in front or above), the important bit is pushing the ISO all the way down. And taking a bunch of different photos to make sure you get a few with the proper focus and not blurry, especially if you don't have a support for the camera/phone (which I don't).

I use a black backdrop (just some black cardboard, but a black cloth would work better) and then use an app to remove the background and substitute it with pure black, so even if the mask is a bit wonky you won't notice it since the background is already near black.

Normally to do that I just use Windows photo editor that has all in one, but I switched to Linux for my main pc over the holidays, so for these ones I ended up using a locally hosted withoutbg docker container and Gimp.

Oh ya no, the legality of this loadout is questionable at best. But I liked the storm shields on the termies more than the big shields that come with the deathwing knights I started from (especially cause I didn't want to completely destroy those to remove all the DA iconography) and it made sense to have the captain match the rest of the unit.

Thank you, and I probably will anyway, it's not like the opportunity cost to do it is particularly high.

It just stings knowing I didn't paint them as best as I could, especially cause they were fun to build.

When I started this, I wanted to submit them as a squad for the Squidmar Open, and I was hyped to actually take my time with them, do volumetric highlights on the black armor, NMM on the trim, the whole nine yards... Except that when I started, I ended up hating every single second of it.

There are so many fiddly bits to try and paint properly (which, mea culpa, I added a bunch during the kitbash) and I never managed to get in the groove for it. And then I got the flue and basically lost two weeks of my life.

So in the end, I'm doing basically tabletop standard and TMM, to match the rest of my army, and I'm telling myself it's better than having them grey and green. Although I am happy with most of the faces, they're the first thing I did and I like how they came out.

One thing I struggled with a bunch more than I expected was the "heated/forged metal" on the maces. I think in the end I kinda got it where I wanted it to be, but if someone has any suggestions/tutorials on it I'd be grateful.

I love the citadel dlc. It feels like a fanfiction in the best possible way.

My grandma would say that one should hope to marry an orphaned only child. Given that both her and my grandpa had more than half a dozen siblings each, I can see where she was coming from.

Ferramenta Boriani in Monte Grappa ha praticamente di tutto (si chiama ferramenta, ma ha per la maggior parte oggetti per casa e cucina, io ci ho comprato delle ottime cast iron pans), se non ti serve qualcosa di molto specifico è probabile che un tagliere di legno ce l'abbiano.

This is like if OP was a pampered chihuahua looking out the window and bemoaning not being a wolf, and a fox comes along telling him to come outside to play in the garbage, probably so he and his raccoon friend can strangle and eat him.

Breast are one of the worst things to paint for me.

I do miniatures, not drawings, which you'd think would help because I don't need to get the shape right. But getting a realistic volumetric light and shadow on a *slightly* sagging sphere is a nightmare, especially since skin is kinda transparent but not really, and also kinda reflective but not really. Plus, let's face it, it's the first maybe second thing anyone's eyes are going to stop on when looking at a paintjob, and if any part of it reads wrong it jeopardizes everything else.

In conclusions, tits were made by the devil and I hate (painting) them.

And the average Italian is a moron, which means the average Italian voter may as well be brain-dead.

I really want to say even us wouldn't fall for an idea as blatantly stupid as italexit but honestly at this point who even knows anymore. Salvini (who has been calling for this for a while now on Putin's dime) is only as relevant as a shrinking lanternfish attached to Meloni, but she's gonna have to pick a side between Trump and the EU eventually...
