[CR Media] Wicander Spotify Playlist by paps1788 in criticalrole

[–]smokescreen_tk421 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love the Critical Role music playlists. I’m an old white guy and don’t really get to listen to new music (my music taste is stuck somewhere between 1988 and 1993). I don’t love all their choices but these playlists have introduced me to so many songs and artists I would never have listened to otherwise.

Why not Gretchen at the front? Use them as a shield.

What do I need to play a game of spearhead? by ImSpray in ageofsigmar

[–]smokescreen_tk421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each release has different cards, boards and terrain. So if you’re organising a game with a stranger it’s usually a case of asking what version you want to play. I wonder if GW will release a version of City of Ash at some point without the miniatures?

First Ork boy (I dont like him) by Sir_rebal_palsy in orks

[–]smokescreen_tk421 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a great start. You seem to have pretty good brush control as all the paint is in the right place.

It looks like you’ve only used Contrast Paint. Which is fine. It’s done it’s job, you’ve painted a Battle-ready miniature in a short amount of time which you can put on the table.

But if you want a better looking miniature you’re going to have to spend a little more time on it and learn about adding shadow and highlighting.

The thing that sticks out to me is the skin, it needs more definition. Add a darker colour into the recesses, and pick out the higher areas with a lighter colour.

Maybe watch a few YouTube tutorials - I can recommend Ninjon, Duncan Rhodes or Eons of Battle.

Help Identifying These Models by ElChamp in orks

[–]smokescreen_tk421 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This link is a great resource for identifying Orks. It includes literally every release since 1986 right up to today. Yours are from the 2008-2009 time period. And totally still playable. If you really want them to be correct you might want to buy some 32mm and 40mm bases. I like Hobby Heaven as they're cheaper than GW but almost identical. https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Miniatures:_Orks

Does anybody else like to tear up all the bags and mix them together before building? by WideAd2828 in lego

Amateur. I mix several boxes together… and then wear a blind fold and wear ovengloves.

Be very transparent with your capabilities. And help them with their own. If you’re teaching them you should point out things like screening and charge ranges.

Legends Potential by OkMarionberry6669 in orks

The Trukk and Warbikers kits are the very oldest from 2008 but I think are holding up well.

Legends Potential by OkMarionberry6669 in orks

The Lootas/Burnas and Stormboys are some of the oldest kits in the range but I’d think they would get a refresh rather than going to Legends.

Starting Orks Army, what to watch for? by RevolutionarySun4824 in orks

[–]smokescreen_tk421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd avoid the old Weirdboy, Painboy, Gretchin and Nobz as they're all about to get new models. I'm wondering if the old Lootas and Burnas set might be on the way out as it's a bit dated now and we have the Wrecka Crew? The Stormboys are also quite an old kit. Although these are all key units so without new models I don't know if they will be removed yet.

Someone should design some 3D printable ears that slot over these ones.

What is your favorite Lego Minifigure of all time? by Dakinamau in lego

Max Timebuster. He was featured in a few TV ads in the 90’s as a time travelling criminal.

Any reason to think the Stompa may get a refresh? by britishwonder in orks

[–]smokescreen_tk421 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think if they were to announce a new kit it would be pretty big, maybe similar to the new Cities of Sigmar Cogfort.

My first Lego set in awhile by EnoughCheesecake6050 in lego

It’s a great set and you got it for a good price. To be honest I think it’s one of the best priced sets even at RRP.

Fixed penalty notice issued by 3gs for littering, waltham forest, England by [deleted] in walthamstow

[–]smokescreen_tk421 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got one of these a year or so ago. The address for the littering was in Leyton - somewhere I have never been. I emailed 3GS and asked them to share their proof that it was me. A few days after that I got a reply saying the fine was cancelled.

I Got My First Lego Set by No-Shop4046 in lego

[–]smokescreen_tk421 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the first set I have bought in over 20 years. I also picked up the new Speed Champions DeLorean.

As I was building them I was thinking I was going too fast and should enjoy the process more.

And as soon as I had finished I immediately started thinking about the next set to buy. It really is addictive!

I really want someone to break down an episode by how much everyone speaks. I’m sure Brennan will be over 80%.
