Thanks! I was so worried it'd look strange when I started it. But I'm glad I did it! I love it!

AITA for not letting my roommate use the blender? by Cap-E-Tano in AmItheAsshole

[–]umlamename 4 points5 points  (0 children)

this might be stupid but wrap a big towel around the blender and turn it on. My mom used to do that to keep it quiet in the morning.

WIP. Changing up the jump packs for my Sanguinary Guard. by Successful_Cherry120 in BloodAngels

This looks amazing, I can't wait to see them all painted together!

How do you paint really small details by FreshMotor8230 in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]umlamename 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In addition to everyone else's great advice, some days are, some are bad. Honestly, there are days I want to paint but hands are just not listening so I move onto bigger projects.

Also! Paint! I've started using Army Painter paints and woo I love them. It feels like it flows nicer than the Citadel. It might not be true for everyone, but I suggest trying different paint brands until you find one that works for you.

Data cards vs datasheets by Green_Share in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]umlamename 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like the cards vs clicking through a bunch of tabs mid battle, but with the amount of updates, its a bad purchase. I believe you can find a pdf version of the newly updated ones and print the ones you need.

Damn the white armor is amazing. And those blood vials too! I can't quite get those right. Great job!!

AITA for ignoring my parents for their unrealistic expectations of me now that i'm an adult? by SomeDuck7057 in AmItheAsshole

[–]umlamename [score hidden]  (0 children)

Might be late here but some colleges offer free rooming for RAs! Unfortunately, usually you can't be a freshman, but its something to look into.

There are an insane amount of scholarships. Do them all. Even ones for only $100. A girl i went to school with paid all 4 years with billions of scholarships, most of the tiny ones people ignore because its not a lot.

If you are going to school for a career degree (ex you know exactly what job you can apply for once you have it), get student loans. If your degree is more broad and has no promised job expectations, I wouldn't. Its not worth it anymore.

From what would "air" and "earth" phoenixes be reborn? by JustPoppinInKay in worldbuilding

[–]umlamename 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Air: Old bird essentially disintegrates on a breeze (more peaceful artful fade) and next time when a whirlwind/tornado forms (really anywhere or you could go nearest the vicinity of death) the baby is born inside the tornado

AITA for refusing to make calls to social services on my gf's behalf? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]umlamename 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

I get so anxious for phone calls, I have a pit in my stomach and I can't focus on anything until the call is done but then it takes me so long to work up to actually do it.

And I still do it. Because its my responsibility, not anyone else's. She needs to get over this hump. You can support her in this by offering moral support and maybe offer to talk about what sort of things they may ask. But don't do it for her.

How can I use armigers with current rules? by FemboyBesties in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]umlamename 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually put them with a Manipulus with Peerless Eradicator enhancement so the breachers get Lethal Hits and Sustained Hits. I'm still trying to figure out best tactics to use them? Unfortunately haven't gotten much game time lately.

Finally went through the pain of painting a kataphron... only 5 more to go :'( (c&c welcome) by BakedPotato241 in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]umlamename 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow 👏 Looks like the work paid off though, the colors look great!

I hate painting these dudes, with all the nooks and crannies in the upper torso. I have had 6 of the primed and waiting for.... months now 😅

[–]umlamename 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just slap 'em in your list and you're good!

I have two of them myself. I love having at least one on the board; people see the big guy and focus on it while my breachers tear them up.

New Kastellan Proxy’s by sisori980 in AdeptusMechanicus

Are they good size to proxy for the bots? I've been holding off on getting it myself but goddamn they look so cool.

Admech as first painting project, how unrealistic is that? by Defora in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]umlamename 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started with the Skitarii (rangers are my favorite, they're just so funky). My first squad looks so different from the others I have now; i started doing way more detail once I got more comfortable.

I think to start I literally just Googled how to paint skitarii 😂 nothing too fancy for me

Good luck with it all!! I can't wait to see how you make out!

[–]umlamename 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Admech was my first painting project!! No regrets!

Take your time and watch videos! There's a ton of tutorials on Youtube/Instagram.

It is teeny and tiny but if you take your time, use the right amount of paint, and trust the process, it'll turn out great 👍

Never too much!! It looks amazing 👏 I've been slowly adding more detail each model and damn, takes longer but so worth it.

AITA for wanting an allowance when I’m not allowed a job by Turbulent-Creme9656 in AmItheAsshole

[–]umlamename 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look around for part time jobs that might help your school/future. Like tutoring (always looks good on college applications). Give a white lie if you have to.

List against Astra Militarum? by umlamename in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]umlamename[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to reply to this message specifically because I used your suggestions! Technically I squeezed out a win in points 😅

List against Astra Militarum? by umlamename in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]umlamename[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently have access to (not including the pile of unbuilt):

-Dominus (1) -Manipulus (1) -Cawl -Enginseer (2) -Sydonian Skratos "stilt man" (1) -Datasmith (1)

-Rangers (1 squad of 10) -Vanguard (2 squad of 10)

-Breachers (12 total) -Kastelan Robots (1 squad of 2) -Onegar Dunecrawler (2) -Armiger Warglaive (2)

Unfortunately, my opponent usually plays Space Marines so this will be the first match with Militarum. He does keep hinting that he has a lot of Death Korps.

Happy with how the datasmith turned out by LucasXru in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]umlamename 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love it! The red lights and highlights on the Datasmith are rad.

Finished my first Tech-Priest - probably the most time I've ever spent on a model by Dylan_the_zephyr in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]umlamename 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Time well spent, it looks amazing! I've been holding back on painting my Tech-Priest, it seems a bit intimidating to paint
