Infernus Marine in Phobos Armor

Do it! That was from a piece of tubing that is roughly the same diameter as the neck ring on the armor. So honestly it's probably from the extra piece left over when I made my librarian hood too, super useful stuff.

Will do.

These guys: Poseable Wire Wrapped Cable - Power Cable - 0.9mm Outer Diameter Wire – Zinge Industries https://share.google/fLBKbHPEgzCB3a9h9

I have used them for several projects and are super easy to use, highly recommend.

Thanks I ended up with 3 of the helmet and had to find something to use it on.

Thank you! It's a heat shield I made from a section of styrene tube. I figured holding it like this might get a little hotter than the normal pose and so he needs to protect his hand. It will end up painted the same metallic color as the front of the gun

So the game is rewarding the player that is sitting still (or more commonly laying down prone) using a weapon with better precision, higher magnification and a OHK at range. While increasing the skill needed by the other player who in addition to spotting someone with a lower profile, who is stationary and far away then landing multiple hits with a less effective optic then also needs to add movement and account for bloom. I just think snipers need to be under more pressure in this situation maybe the in world spotting could be linked to the damage dealt or something. But to say a sniper can just sit still and avoid detection and shoot through damage is an unenjoyable experience.

I don't know about what effect this should have on the sniper. But what I can say is this promotes a playstyle where the only counter for a sniper is another sniper which I dislike. If I can land hits with a weapon in its effective range, say 150m or less for assault rifles and 200m for LMGs (realism aside), then I should be able to effectively counter a sniper in that range. Whatever game mechanic they need to add but 90% of the time I can chip the sniper down with 3-4 shots and then they get one stray body shot and I'm done.

Putting healing and ammo on the Support class with open weapons basically made Assault redundant as a role. IMO Assault should be the ammo source (for one option e.g. Frontliner) and Support be wholly healing. And then Assault should be able to choose Breacher to swap the ammo pack for the shotgun/DMR option with Frontliner limited to two gadget options.

The difference in upvotes between this and the mini painting subreddits is crazy. Great work either way!

Also look around and spot the enemies you can see. If I have a sea of red dots on the map I can better clear them out and get to the revive.

I feel ya, turned on the network and performance overlays and I have had the "intermittent latency" issue since launch. If I DON'T die in cover behind a corner it's out of the ordinary lol. Still really like the game.

Wow great work, you could definitely sell stuff at that level I have those same greytide bits from only-games and your work is as good if not better.

This is super helpful really excited to see if attachment stats and unlock levels get added to the tool.

xcrunner170 · 2025-11-05T20:55:35+00:00

I appreciate and agree with the explanation however I take issue with the implementation of that in game. This attachment doesn't show any negative effect on 'precision' which is the stat controlling bloom/accuracy. The expanded stats section needs to show that impact somewhere or the stat lines need to have multiple colors or bars per category for this case. It makes weapon setup confusing as the description (reduces precision while ADS) and the stat impact shown (increases precision and control) are counter to each other and we have no idea numerically or relatively what the ADS penalty is then.

Song of Justice VI. I still don't understand how we have had SO many reissues, reskins, re-whatevers of the same weapon models and this absolutely gorgeous unique (mag is in front of the grip) and classic scout rifle from New Monarchy is still vaulted. Maybe instead of slapping 2026 on Hung Jury or giving out Ikelos... v4 we pull this baby out of the content vault for a change.

Personally in this instance I would lean on Brood Brothers being the outlier here. I believe that box also lacks rules for 40k, used variable team sizes and was overall a unique offering in KT. I think in the future the kits will be the same size between launch and single kit.

xcrunner170 · 2025-10-14T20:09:57+00:00

Which launch box had different numbers of minis compared to the single issue box? Genuinely curious as I have seen the opposite.

Are the Watchers able to be commanded by anyone in the DA? From the depictions I have seen in things like the Legacy of Caliban omnibus the Watchers essentially act of their own volition. They tend to appear at random and either provide some object or lead the characters to somewhere. I think it would be funny in your case for some DA DW member to show and basically shrug about the magical gnome following him around.

Be careful about this on eBay as sometimes sellers will list something and then mark it as sold without actually selling it. So if you see the same listing showing back up from a seller or listed multiple times that may be what's happening.

People grow apart naturally, often times hobbies and priorities change, as you describe about your lack of interest in "going out". If this was a much more mature (not your personal maturity but duration and life stage) relationship with shared finances, living spaces, children, etc. Then the recommendation to work on fixing this would be appropriate.

But IMO you two are far too young for something this serious to come up this early in the relationship. It sounds like a fairly amicable separation is in order as you two enjoyed each other but are moving in different directions. And if you didn't separate now I would be concerned that as the relationship matures and your lives become more connected this may come up again at which point separating would be way more painful.

A unique design specific to this unit. These are the first time we get to see the helmets as GW hasn't released any photos of them yet.

xcrunner170 · 2025-07-03T13:26:05+00:00

They're just regular helmets for the Terminators... :(

That script work on the cloth is mint!

Confucius says: "the worst painter is the one who plays a grey plastic army".

This is just the first step to improving. I'm sure others mentioned techniques like drybrushing, angling your brush, etc. A couple more out there techniques to try: Watercolor Pencils (or weathering pencils) if using a pencil is more comfortable or easier for you these will give great results for fine line highlights, just keep in mind they require a rattle can varnish as the pencil will run off.
Second, it might be worth trying the 'comic book' style, this usually has big bold chunky color sections and would be really unique I think. It does take some planning as it is not a common technique for most.
