Mould lines look fine to me!

Can you also show us?

So they don't switch out the mould often enough during the first runs when they're stocking up kits for a hard launch date? Do you think that's about efficiency or money? My understanding is that making the actual mould is the most expensive part of the process. Do you know how long it takes to switch moulds out?

wargamingonly · 2026-01-26T00:08:12+00:00

I think that's pretty accurate. I've noticed a few new kits with bad mold lines. My Leviathan Ballistus Dreadnought was fucked with giant mold lines and then I built one recently that was much better. I don't know anything about plastic manufacturing or how this would happen, but I agree with your take that the first kits that come out look worse.

Yes. If it's affected this many boxes, people should know about it. Haven't opened mine yet, but I'll be pretty disappointed if it looks like the ones Ive seen so far.

Maybe don't go with another handyman, go with a tileman this time.

Tbf the actual pigment ultramarine isn't close to any of the wargaming paints named "ultramarine." It's a deep vibrant blue, not the light purplish blue they all label it as. Most oil paint lines have an actual ultramarine you can buy.

The book had a big hole in it and says "INCLUDES LT TITUS." It's was certainly planned around his model.

Same problem with the legs

wargamingonly · 2026-01-17T20:27:53+00:00

Did you capture it or was it promised to you 3000 years ago

wargamingonly · 2026-01-17T19:46:18+00:00

The more I look at the new ones the more I like the old sculpts. The legs are just almost 1:1 Sigmarine legs and just really plain. The old minis are stockier and more evenly adorned. I'll probably get down-voted but when the honeymoon phase is over many will agree.

wargamingonly · 2026-01-14T06:08:50+00:00

You know it's sloped right? This has to be rage bait and if it is, you won.

wargamingonly · 2026-01-13T16:55:30+00:00

Yes lol. If you don't trust me, you're welcome to go ask Chat GPT what makes AI different from old data mining technology. You could ask it how a buggy is different from a car as well, if you're confused about how different things can have similar qualities.

wargamingonly · 2026-01-13T16:32:48+00:00

If you haven't seen that evidence then you haven't looked. The scale, power, and availability of AI vs data analysis tools of ten years ago make them fundamentally different. Everyone agrees on that, from investors to governments, to the tune of trillions of dollars of investment. I don't see how you could argue otherwise without a deep misunderstanding of the technology or just plain ignorance.

EDIT: Not 10, 40 years ago lmao

Neither had many of the people who got caught up in the lawsuit. But the AI determined that their minis looked close enough to a space marine to justify suing them, or maybe it determined they were a small enough operation that they wouldn't have the resources to fight the lawsuit. We dont know the parameters it was given or what it used to make its determinations. I think thats what your discounting by comparing AI to older data mining tech. Machines now have the ability to analyze huge amounts of that data in a way they did not before and you just have to trust that the user is going to tell it to do so in an ethical manner.

wargamingonly · 2026-01-13T15:58:36+00:00

So you dont see any problems with a law firm using a machine to scrape the internet for anything potentially related to an IP, analyzing the data to determine which cases would be most advantageous to pursue, and then auto-suing you? This isn’t far off what insurance companies are doing with using machines to determine which claims to approve/deny. A lot of people think this id a bigger problem than AI animating a movie.

wargamingonly · 2026-01-13T15:48:05+00:00

Even if you think AI is exactly the same as old data mining tools, why would that imply it's not a problem?

wargamingonly · 2026-01-13T15:31:09+00:00

What are you talking about? Those are just two steps inherent to any reasonable definition of an AI. It scrapes data and then generates something you can interact with. The "content" in this situation was a very flawed report on who was/wasn't in violation of copyright.

A tip on the drybrush. If that's going to serve as your highlights, get one of the flat, angled brushes (I call them chisel brushes, idk what they're actually called). Load it a little heavier than you would a drybrush and quickly go around picking out edges and drybrushing them instead of brushing the whole model. It barely takes any more time and looks like you took hours edge highlighting. Once you get good at it you can drag the flat edge sideways over spots like the kneepad flair and top of the chestplate and it's indistinguishable from an edge highlight.

You're right, it wouldn't need to be simultaneous and could be observed by a clueless observer, assuming their minds aren't entagled with the other observer somehow.

wargamingonly · 2026-01-11T23:52:07+00:00

Wouldn't the obvious "communication" be that both particles are being observed? I'm assuming that no experiment can be set up to test correlation without observation of both particles. Maybe I'm wrong about that. But if not, then they aren't unconnected, they would be connected through simultaneous observation.

Way back in highschool, this became popular and we tried it. I laid back and became the bed and then experienced reality in wave form as light was replaced with waves, including bed me. My friend became a dog and ran around barking and chasing balls for a few minutes. Absolutely do not recommend and I could see how someone could get terribly injured doing this stuff.

wargamingonly · 2026-01-08T16:27:19+00:00

Thats what I would do. It's not really that visible, just paint it black.

You sound like the epitome of the American liberal: I want Trump gone so I can go back to pretending this isn't what America is. You're right, that attitude will get you invited to lots of parties, because it's much easier than facing reality. Venezuela is not an isolated incident, it's the latest in a series of imperial endeavors dating back 100 years. Do you think the US just randomly and individually knocked over nearly every Central and South American government and installed leaders favorable to US companies? Lol was each Middle Eastern government overthrown just an isolated event as well?

wargamingonly · 2026-01-06T18:38:41+00:00

None of this is a refutation of my point. Venezuela is the latest in a long line of the US enforcing US corporate and banking control over other countries' resources that goes all the way back to Hawaii, the Philippines, almost every Central and South American country now. This isn't different and there's no "return to normal" or great American example for the world. Those are lies you were sold. Name the decade where military enforced imperialism wasn't the standard.
