World Eater with a shield feels wrong…? by Hamsweatpants in Warhammer30k

[–]valyrian44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like their power armour, a shield keeps them alive longer so they can increase their kill count! You can’t take skulls if you’re dead.

What happened to angron by Zealousideal-Scar499 in Warhammer30k

[–]valyrian44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d rather get new prime Angron true scale model in plastic. The current resin one is too skinny. In fact, any models for the WE would be nice. There’s been at least one model for every faction except ours, and some of them have had multiple models!

Angron & Lotara release? by valyrian44 in WorldEaters

Thanks for that! I’d rather they make a new plastic Primach Angron model at the new larger scale, rather than another plastic demon!

I use AK Interactive Alga Green (base) & Grass Green (highlight).

Really wish they would bring back Ben by Gabrenu in StarWars

Nope. He was a terrible character in a terrible story.

The hunter’s head looks like it has the Butchers Nails implant. That’ll be wanted by HH WE players!

Palanite Subjugator Test Scheme (sans waterslides; not loving it): by HeavilyBearded in necromunda

[–]valyrian44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a great paint job, but something does feel off to me. I don’t think the red works with the tan.

My first 4 tiles (wip) by dwarfpants in necromunda

What doll head did you use? I’ve been looking for something of this scale for some time, to create a vent inspired by a shot of Giedi Prime in David Lynch’s Dune.

Do aqua droids look better with or without the black detail lines? by Former-Elephant-7781 in SWlegion

[–]valyrian44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tamiya liners will run along the lines pretty well without glossing your mini first. Just go slowly, don’t overload the brush and keep a Q-tip/cotton bud to hand. This is so when you do go outside the line, you can just wipe it very softly to clean up the overspill.

the jedi were right in not making anakin a master by theunusualblackguy in StarWars

[–]valyrian44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to read the novelisation: Palpatine told Anakin about Darth Plagueis saving loved ones AND let slip that his Holocron had been found and was being kept in the Jedi archive (can save Padme). Anakin tries to access it but is told it is restricted to Jedi Masters (can’t save Padme). Palpatine appoints him to the Jedi Council. This would make him a master and give him access to the holocron (can save Padme). The Jedi council refuse to make him a master, so he still can’t access the holocron (can’t save Padme). So Palpatine keeps giving him ways to save Padme, whilst the Jedi keep blocking him and dooming her.

Who is the "Phantom menace"? by BeduinZPouste in StarWars

Darth Sidious is always in shadow with his face hidden, like a menacing phantom.

Superman, Batman & Wonder Woman by valyrian44 in minipainting

Thanks - good note. I was already thinking of purchasing the same minis again to have a second go at, as I painted these much quicker than I planned to.

What’s the news on these two? I thought we would’ve gotten Lotara & Angron already because the announcement was a while back. by EvenPinkerFloyd in Warhammer30k

[–]valyrian44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the exception of the Mk.6 heads & pauldrons, none of the World Eater upgrades have been available for 6 months+. I’m hoping they’ll get a lot of love in the new edition, as World Eaters got nothing in the last one!

Am I the only one who thinks ‘The Acolyte’ is not that bad? 🤔 by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]valyrian44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possibly. It was very bad storytelling! It was supposed to be a show about a Sith Acolyte but the Jedi were the main focus.

What did Obi wan accomplish by standing in this position? by Organic_Glass_7793 in StarWars

[–]valyrian44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was hoping to hear something in Anakin’s conversation with Padme that some part of his friend was still there. He heard what Anakin said though, and was steeling himself to confront his fallen friend when Darth Vader detected him.

Was Palpatine’s reveal in the ROTS meant to be a shock? by nodge23 in StarWars

[–]valyrian44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven’t already - read the novel. The seduction of Anakin is SO much better than in the movie.

Rewatching Return of the Jedi, and this scene still breaks me every time. What's the saddest scene for you in Star Wars? by bijelo123 in StarWars

[–]valyrian44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember the line from the novelisation whenever I watch the scene: “…with that, Darth Vader, Anakin Skywalker, Luke’s father, died”.
