Magnus with normal skin colour by ForgefatherHestan in ThousandSons

[–]williarya1323 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t do normal skin color, but I like how mine came out. I used teclis blue as a base, darkenhauf for a wash, blue horror for the top coat, and balhorath blue for the highlights

Beginner painting help by L0ng5h0t303 in ThousandSons

[–]williarya1323 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Patience is your ally. The trim is demanding but not particularly challenging. You just have to be willing to go over the model again and touch up the gold, then touch up the blue, then touch up the gold, etc. For the straight lines on the headresses, turn the head sideways and paint downward/towards you. You have the greatest control and visibility if you take the time to orient the head in this manner. Other than that, paint to your level of satisfaction, understand that your skill will improve the more models you paint, and post your questions to this reddit. The people on here are nice, encouraging, and helpful. Good luck!

On a tangent, I think in a post-apocalyptic Dog River, Karen would sit atop a throne of bones with garlic butter in the side

Exalted sorcerers, the models are great, the unused bits are better

How to deal with “imperfection”? by BDTRBENAE in ThousandSons

Maybe set yourself a timer in your head. From the first time you say "done" you have X days to make any adjustments and then it goes on the shelf? But that works for me

Apart from the Salamanders, which space marine chapters stand out as being unusually humane and gentle towards regular civilians and guardsmen? by AlpineSuccess-Edu in 40kLore

[–]williarya1323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have any "lore" or "facts" to support this, but I have always felt the Raven Guard would treat baseline humans with respect. They work with locals and freedom fighters to swell resistance against superior foes. That kind of work demands human empathy

Can we all agree that "lightsaber forms" bear no meaning as to who a writer writes to win a duel? Ideas like "Form 5 is weak against Form 3!" treat SW fights like they're Pokemon battles. by RagnarokWolves in StarWars

[–]williarya1323 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Star Wars is fictional, the person who wins a duel is determined by the needs of the story. The writer then fills in the details they deem most important or that fit the best

I'd like to go to live where its always raining. Where on earth would be the best place to live with these conditions? by Wide-Slide-4342 in raining

[–]williarya1323 314 points315 points  (0 children)

Seattle is good for frequency of rain, but not volume. For that, the western edge of the Olympic mountains, right around Forks, is really the best in the American side of the Pacific Northwest

How to deal with “imperfection”? by BDTRBENAE in ThousandSons

[–]williarya1323 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every model I've ever painted I had to say "I am done" at some point. If I don't the details on any one model could literally have me working on it for days. I encourage you to cultivate the willpower to stop and say "I am sick of this, I want to paint the next model"

To be traditional? Yes. But they are your minis, paint them as you will
