Worthless Bumsa third of these pumpkins are Way Too Large
might pass on the set entirely
would i pay 74 cents for one small pumpkin, to place somewhere
... maybe lol
i guess i could use the larger ones in a diorama instead of on a mini base
it is unfortunate that green stuff world abbreviates to gsw
i am below $200 congratulate me
do i really need bright colorful flowers
no
no
... but i want them lol
alright i trimmed it down to everything i know for sure i want to use
just down to quantity now lololol
fuck $29 shipping the preview lied to me lololol
are these guys in the uk? fuck lollolollllllll
BEFORE I TRIED TO CHECK OUT THEY WERE LIKE $6 SHIPPING
NOW I WANNA GO BACK AND ORDER MORE TO MAKE SHIPPING MORE EFFICIENT
you know what they ain't shipping till monday lol
gonna sleep on this
no washington state tax tho... that does change the calculus
i tried changing the amount of the bulky foam item to see if that affected the shipping nope
tuft and flock is... not cheap
their prices are pretty good relatively speaking
not sure about quality tho since i've never used any of this stuff
there is also the allure of having everything arrive in one package, because babysitting my front door can be very easy or take up my entire day waiting for delivery
so having my order split over X days will waste so much of my goddamn time
ooOoOooo their registered mail option seems to indicate final delivery is usps?
usps is way better for me than ups or fedex
that might have swayed me lol
15-30 working days
bruh that is so long lol
this is a horrible checkout process holy shit
bruh what the fuck even is this
uses some payment intermediary that defaults to euros and also charges a 2% transaction fee
i tried to go back to switch payment currency to euros
it errored out and my entire cart is empty on the website
... what the flying fuck man looooooooooooooololol
apparently green stuff world is based in spain and their entire payment process is absolutely donkey nuts
HOLY SHIT THE ORDER WENT THROUGH ON MY CREDIT CARD
WHAT THE FUCK
so somehow it errored out, completed my order, and i ended up paying an extra $27
this is extraordinarily not fucking cool
their fucking bullshit contact form is not letting me send a message, asking me to perform a recaptcha that does not fucking exist
email it is
well this was a rollercoaster two hours
i am now on hugeminis
hopefully they are less shit than greenstuffworld
ooOoOoo they have mixes of grass and grit and stuff
hrmph they also carry green stuff
kinda don't wanna buy given my recent experience
hrm their flock is made out of foam and is very... floofy xD
got a smattering of tufts and flowers and stuff for terrain decoration
no tax or shipping either. hopefully i can get usps shipping xD
reading 40k lore really be like "the emperor was not emotionally attached to the primarchs but also he got mortally wounded by a primarch because he refused to use the full might of his psychic powers against his beloved son"
the big bottle is glaze medium so i can try that
i mean washes fucked me up but might as well keep trying other techniques xD
also got a white primer and a few other varnishes to see if i like those
there's nothing WRONG with the vallejo ultra matt... i don't think
but maybe these will alter the final look more significantly
also doubled up on a few colors i really liked, like their bloody red
got some purple, another green, and a fancy ass REFRACTIVE green
the length of these cardboard boxes that can hold magic cards is gonna differ probably, but the width is basically perfect for 4 row
just sayin' if you indulged in too much cardboard crack like i used to
every 40k space marine vs argument in
/r/whowouldwin: "space marines stomp respect the humble space marine read your lore you fukken nerd in this ted talk i will..."
/r/40klore: "is the space marine named? is he wearing his helmet?"
i tried to reconcile the populations on hive worlds and crusade casualties and stuff the other day
that was a mistake
they're arguing if codexes are lore
i dunno man. if that doesn't count as lore what does
"they changed the lore later" is valid
"i don't feel like the swarmlord is that powerful" is like, not really that valid
take it up with gw xD
i think one of the funniest things about 40k is the homogeneity. especially since it's sci-fi
a counterinsurgency in real life modern terms only needs like two dozen insurgents per 1000 populace
in 40k population scale and modern tech (everyone running around with lasguns) that ratio is prolly way lower
even the cults don't operate right, they're described as infesting whole planets/ships
bruh that place is fucked way before infestation levels
pour one out for the poor guardsmen who get rat fucked in everything i've ever read because they are led by the most braindead "supersoldier" motherfuckers you ever did see
i really REALLY don't like the guardsmen minis because of their uhhh
stylistic inspiration source
for the most part. some of them look like normal ww2 soldiers or whatever
how are they replacing all their lost materiel anyway with the iom having such shit manufacturing capabilities
there is a weird contingent of 40kers who insist you must paint your minis to play (casually)
lol lmao
it would not surprise me if the majority of people who are in 40k at all are just hobbyists and don't play
just read lore and paint and shit
now i just wanna get real good at painting minis
like fucking S-tier level shit. just a massive collection of fallout warfare minis beautifully painted
and then show up at my lgs with a totally unpainted 40k kill team like sup bitches
if anyone gives me shit i'll just be like "all space marines look the same anyway" and enjoy the show
"IT'S BASIC RESPECT TO PAINT FOR YOUR OPPONENT"
your color choices are sad and you disgust me
respect-- go strip your minis and try again nerd
gonna go around rules lawyering marines throwing grenades if i don't see grenades glued on them
i have one unpainted mini left
the zetan
do i paint him today. hrmmmm 🤔
ghosttie@worthlessbums how are they going to throw them if they're glued on?
caranatar@worthlessbums bring a can of spray paint and just lightly dust them all at once if anyone complains. There, they're painted
@worthlessbums also legit, my like third or fourth place reason that I've never gotten into 40k is that I have no skill or desire to have skill at painting tiny things
Teaceratops/GameDev Mum@worthlessbums you’ve literally just described my husband and about 10 of our friends 😆
We have all the hours heresy books, warhammer fantasy role play, seen all the games & tv stuff, absolutely think Event Horizon is a 40k/chaos-coded movie...
...but like hell we can afford the models and paint to play the original games. (But we did as kids)
@Teaceratops i'm honestly impressed anyone has read all the fucking hh books lololol
@worthlessbums he’s at the point where he’s waiting for more to come out 😅 it’s taken about 15 years to get to this point though
David Stark@worthlessbums How do they react when you show them a freshly spray painted army?
@Zarkonnen i dunno i'm not gonna play these losers xD
it reminds me of mtg players who loser their shit over proxies because people didn't wanna drop $400 on a playset of a card
Keith Evans@worthlessbums Hive Worlds like Necromunda practically cannibalize themselves to meet quotas for materiel to send up as part of their tithes, importing thousands of tonnes of ore, food, and recycled parts from other worlds on a daily basis and using every part of the carcass to make new stuff. To the point that near the bottom of the hives the standard food is mostly made out of corpse starch and the general trade is ripping out collapsed parts of the superstructure to repurpose into scrap that can be sold uphive.
Just because the entire IoM is at war doesn't mean everywhere is on the frontline; it just means the entire galaxy that humans control is given over to the military-industrial complex.
@kaynSD you know i woulda thought this woulda been... the forge worlds xD
@worthlessbums The Forgeworlds do definitely do that, often for the ludicrous scale weapons, but the Hive Worlds are also massive producers of small arms, recruiting grounds, and tanks. Tertium (the fighting grounds for the recent Darktide game) has a large output of Leman Russ Battle Tanks.
Bascially every part of the Imperium that's not some very rich or very influential group's private little reserve is in pure war economy mode, either producing stuff for battle, or on it's front line.
There is only war, and all that.
@worthlessbums space marines are literally the weakest thing the Emperor had a hand in making, and he only made them because his other super soldier programs were so prohibitively expensive or unstable.
@worthlessbums Thunder Warriors - Aaaaaagggh!
@kaynSD appreciate the straight faced-ness of that reply lololol
lore doesn't count if it's in the codex is new to me
@worthlessbums Yeah, but it's not in MY codex so *I* say it's false~~
@worthlessbums to be fair, it's the Blood Angels. They get practically wiped out every hundred years or so. :p
