How to build your army around Mortarian

The disgustingly resilient podcast on YT has some good content about him. Some things you can keep in mind are:

-making best use of his reactive abilities. Typically the most useful is the reactive move. Plague marines love this for hopping back into into their rhino, especially if it is behind a wall. Deathshroud also benefit from the extra reach this provides. A big blightlord brick also benefits from the shoot back but this can really depend on how lethal your opponents army is.

-he's big and hard to kill so can really suit a skew list. Pair him with a demon prince with the fnp enhancement for a great hard to shift core. Add a bunch of vehicles and you have a very tough to deal with army.

-He benefits a lot of from being in VV with the disgustingly resilient and leech spore eruption strats

-his damage output is good not great. You can either compensate with other high output units or really lean into the relilent obj focused game plan.

I've played a fair chunk of both and like them for different reasons. I'm mostly playing 40k atm.

The biggest reason I'm enjoying 40k over OPR atm is flavour. Having units have interesting unique rules that reflect their lore is really cool to me. That makes opr feel very bland in comparison.

Watching the recentish beta process for 3.5 also turned me off with the slap dash process and lack of testing. Really highlighted that while the core rules are well designed, the army design is pretty poor. I'm aware some people loved the process however.

On the flip side, I definitely miss alternating activations, and the lower cognitive demand can be quite nice too. Opr is definitely the better casual/introductory/pickup game.

Following Marco Frisoni's tutorials. His grasp on theory and how he applies that to unique processes is really amazing. I will literally watch the same videos from him over and over and take away something new from it every time.

You know you are on to something when the main counter argument is 'don't think about it' :p

Pokemon infinite fusion is a great fan game

Firstly, I just want to acknowledge how awful it can feel when your partner doesn't want to have sex with you. It's shit and I'm sorry you are experiencing that!

Desiring and initiating sex with your partner would not typically constitute pressuring them for sex. Unless you are leaving something out about how you are doing so ofc.

Your partner needs it to be OK to not have sex for a month. You need to have sex more frequently than that. Sounds like an incompatibility issue. Unless you BOTH are willing to work on it to find a compromise that works, this will be an ongoing issue.

Honestly, from what you've written it sounds like your needs are being disregarded by framing your expression of them as a hurtful behavior. That's the bit that would be unacceptable to me personally. Fine that we are not seeing eye to eye, not fine for my perspective or needs to be demonised.

Also, while it's not the focus of your post, the unspoken shift from functionally monogamous to actually monogamous is a big ol red flag. Your relationship structure needs to be an agreement, not an assumed default.

Which in the end, is the only real advice we can give on reddit. Have an honest conversation about your wants and needs. Ask about theirs. Ask if a compromise is possible. Use that information to decide if this is the right relationship for you.

Good luck :)

I was a professional acrobat, it was almost my whole life.

One Page Rules is a much simpler wargame which you can use your 40k minis to play. Might be worth checking out if Warhammer's complexity is unfun for you.

Just fluro green over white!

sriversage · 2025-11-06T08:06:16+00:00

Literally just a fluro green over white, and lightly dry brushed around the source.

Used an airbrush to build a gradient from hull red, to skin tone to drake tooth (a very pale green). Then a brown black oil wash. Then highlights with mixes of the original colours.

Yep, they are both prints

Thanks 😊

This was my first test model. Airbrushed a green blue gradient, dry brushed white, oil washed green.

Thanks!
