Worthless Bums
this whole molecule edge thickness is still nonsense
you still have to push that edge through the material you're cutting into
this is clearly just imperial propaganda
yes yes go into battle. this armor is totally rad
>.>
also a blood angel got his arm blown off when his flamethrower tank exploded right next to him in that show
clearly you could just ambush a squad with enough explosives
okay so
the battle nuns are literally just faith based magic
alright lol
not even good consistent space magic
just believe hard enough and maybe an angel will come
jeez the emperor sucks
me: *doesn't even have paints yet*
also me: *idly considering how to put together physical geomorphs for a playing table*
limbodivision209's stuff is cool but the smallest is 35mm scale, not 32
BIG BUN BUNS
i watched some 40k painting videos and was slapped in the face with some very fash-adjacent ads
i then watched some fallout warfare gameplay videos and got... bath fixture ads
take that as you will
me: *no real desire to actually play the game*
also me: *intense desire to make custom unit cards for fo wf*
the other three are cool, but probably imbalanced due to metal
but no one in a non-competitive environment gonna care
a reason i wanna make fallout warfare cards, aside from the fact that i like cards, is that the profile images are photos of the minis... but totally unpainted lol
just solid gray minis
i kinda like the idea of like... merging warfare and 2d20 and my permadeath toons from the video games
use the rpg/warfare stuff for side quest scenarios that would be a pita to re-create in any of the video games
oh did you die chasing that story in that custom scenario i made in 2d20, piper?
DIE IN FALLOUT 4 😈
the 2d20 core rulebook is 400 pages
lol the fuck
/r/rpg really hates 2d20 apparently
also, fallout 4
oh warhammer gladius is free on steam rn
free to keep if you get it before june 1
i only got a black primer which i am learning was probably a mistake
ah well
i have not cleared my table yet or made a wet palette, but i will prolly paint this weekend
poorly xD
none of the army painter brushes came with caps, and the detail brush has bent bristles
hrm
actually one of them did: the kolinsky masterclass
also it's triangle shaped so easy to hold, and doesn't roll
brain: "you don't actually need to paint the minis to play the game solo"
me: "shut up brain"
also apparently i accidentally got an airbrush primer but imma brush it on
it'll be fiiiiiine
Nora went first so she could experience the full brunt of my mistakes lololol
Also holy shit that super mutant hound was such a pita because it's so low to the base
i also jacked up my brush getting the primer in every nook and cranny
my inexpertise with thinning aside, i think i need a smaller brush and/or need to learn how to repair bent bristles >.>
i feel like i might need to go back and recoat some minis/sections
hilariously my phone acts as a good magnifier for details
i got black paint (not the primer) to mix, but not white
fucking why bums lolololol
i don't think i need it, i got all the colors i /really/ need for most of what i have now
but just... why
exception being if the blues i got don't match the vault suit blue. I GUESS I WILL SEE
i figured out why
there's no white vallejo paint on the store i bought it from
weirdly even tho the coat of thinned primer on the power armor guy showed the gray underneath it turned out to be perfectly black coated after it dried
like it's basically indistinguishable from nora who i did first with absolutely no thinning
my understanding of thinning is you want the paint (or primer) to be a certain consistency or thinness to coat <whatever>, but also it /should/ be partially opaque?
like layering is also a reason to thin? the primer bottle itself mentions you can use it with or without thinning
possibly i am misunderstanding something here 🤔
anyway this is a learning experience so i tried a variety of ways to get that fucking primer into hard to reach nooks and crannies
WE'LL SEE HOW EACH TURNS OUT
painters: "you want to shade and highlight your minis for maximum looking cool"
me: "what if i install actual lights in the bases of the minis"
look all i'm saying is i've now seen a lot of "glowing" energy weapons and while they look cool they do not look like they're glowing
we can change this
we have the technology
like yes i could paint glowing power armor eyes
or
i could hollow out the head and jam an led in there
