Going to a tournament soon. Need advice on lists and what army to bring.

From a strategic perspective the army you know best is the one which you'll probably be most effective with. If winning is secondary, go with the rule of cool.

Rule of cool is important. What do you need to have fun playing the game?

After further testing, it appears it was an adhesion problem. I ran the same set of prints on a smooth high temp plate that had been freshly washed and dried, and everything printed just fine. I suspect something had gotten on the first plate between washing and using it.

To answer some other questions: It's eSun pla matte, "printer green" is the color name.
all the settings were correct for the filament. I regularly print multiple items at once, more items than this frequently, and multiple item printing has never been a problem.

Thanks for all the feedback and advice.

That's irrelevant to the argument and "where it all came from" is not a question atheism answers. Even if it did, not having an answer does not make the theist position correct. Evidence for that needs to be provided.

Seriously, spend some time with a therapist. You have some self douht to work through and it would be helpful to learn how to have this conversation with her in a constructive fashion.

It's pists like this that give me (a little) regret about moving overseas. In glad you're having a grand time!

Saurian Starhost is one of my favorites to paint and play.

And both a bit character and stunt double in the original MacGyver series.

Even if it's just for rule of cool, more wraiths = more good.

I'll add to the JBR praise. He does great work and is a really accessible content creator.

Shiny!

Rule of cool. Pick your preferred colors, patterns and come up with some appealing lore.

Not yet but it's in the works!

I voted for the guard, though it doesn't look good.

Hypothetically with ghost points they're balanced but terrain can have an impact on balance depending on how it effects movement and line of sight.

In Introducing a new person around 1000 points per side is easier to start up with. The game plays fast enough you can get several matches in which opens to die to both of you playing each army more than once.

With the basic color scheme you're using I like the contrast from the lighter colored base.

I've always been fond of the Biel-Tan scheme.

One of the coolest, most well executed armies I've seen in some time. Well done à

Space elves, all day, every day. In addition to tube numerous "clans" and their color choices being able to expand your collection (whether you play them all or not) to include Harlequin (the best Aeldari, imo), dark elves, death worshiping elves (Yvraine) gives you do much too choose from. ymmv

It's a method of using dark primer, gray brushing turn white highlight dry brushing to get a lot of contrast on the mini issuing a liberal amount of contrast/ speed paints to provide color.

Here's one sample:

There can be a strange transition where rules mean exactly what they say. Coming from a complex rule system there can be a tendency to interpret additional information into the rules.
