They have shortages of basic food staples now due to Brexit.
It was not at all a wise decision for the country.
"Independent nation" does not have to mean "isolated existence".
quaint halo
Brexit was a very stupid move
sour hill
@vivid rune Oh for sure. I know they get it for less. One of the places I go to I know the owner pretty well.
I know for a lot of people $25 for a single figurine is a steep price...
But I'm fortunate to have a decent career...and I also come from playing gacha games and other VERY expensive hobbies. So this feels much less expensive. LMFAO
95% of why I entered the hobby was from a lore podcast as well as just thinking the sculpts/characters looked cool.
So as long as GW produces nice looking models/content and they don't make the lore stupid it will stay interesting for me.
quaint halo
My game store has the prices the same as GW's store but I'm sure that will change soon
But he has been hurting for inventory

They all have.

Covid and the flooding in Texas also did not help
sour hill
I called around 3 different game stores to secure something extra for this weekend. All their supplies are low.
And yeah. The distribution center is in Texas.
So the freeze hurt distribution lines.
AND
The freeze also damaged petrochem facilities.
quaint halo
YEEEP
sour hill
Our plastics/paints/etc. are made from petrochem materials.
So that heavily damaged local production/exporting of those products. Which means supply suffers everywhere.
quaint halo
Yep
My store lucked out and got like 12 copies of Cursed City so they got one for me waiting till payday
sour hill
That's sick!
quaint halo
Yeah
They used to hate me because when I first went to the store I was fresh out of high-school broke and would buy my army piecemeal and would often proxy or just hang out
Now that I got a much more stable job and not working minimum wage I got like 4 40k armies and am starting AoS
sour hill
Hell yeah. Growing up with the hobby.

Ill put most of my all in everything that i paint. But my slaanesh army is a long and very personal project of mine. Its a mix of me trying out very new and tricky stuff and me seeking nothing more than absolute perfection
This was my second ever try at glazing

Itll definitely have ions red baron skin painted onto it lol

i approve of that wholeheartedly

What's so great about titanfall anyway

its a good shooter game ruined by a bad launch window

Titanfall is a great shooter still.
And mech combat.

Apex is a pretty regular game in my house.

Honestly Apex is a great battle royale game imo, i dont like it either but id have it be a good game over something like Pubg or fortnite lol
and yeah its a cashgrab in some ways but the sooner it gets us to Titanfall 3 the better
rose sluice
if that even happens
crisp forge
Im pretty sure it will, Respawn themselves would be aware of it
especially with how many cameos and stuff they're cramming into Apex
so really its just a matter of time

@hoary ermine You ever do any Ranked play?

No
I hate ranked in any game

Turning off skill based matchmaking in any normal, non ranked game is a shit idea

Nice. Iโm a causal player myself. I also canโt ever really get a group together to play ranked
And even if I was able to get a group together. We would play for a couple of hours and then end up going and doing something else

For sure. I just was playing after work most days for a while.
But now I've got painting to do.

Who was your main?

Revenant for a while, but definitely Bangalore now.
Self preservation passive that can be used aggressively or defensively.
Smokes for me and the team.
Ult that forces repositions or just straight up knocks.
Perfect toon for me. ๐
hoary ermine
Bangalore is so fucking pog, just run from charge tower to charge tower and keep hammering down that ult
sour hill
Octane is pretty top tier.
uncut olive
Ye
sour hill
What separates people from Bronze, Silver, etc. all the way up is movement.
So having good movement/speed/etc. is a MAJOR advantage.
At Diamond+ people find ways of repositioning like you've never seen.
And then it just comes down decision making. Making the right calls for team movement and stuff.

Alright. Taking the plunge. Getting an airbrush to help speed up my mini painting. Here we go.... xD
sour hill
PLEASE let me know how it goes. @median pumice
I'm really curious about what kind of paints it can use, how well it works for coating, etc.
Because if I can still use contrasts sprayed on and then thinned layers with final details actually done with care...
I may have to look at that for future armies.
median pumice
For sure dude. I've got a big old backlog. I should get to making a dent in it
vivid rune
Man i dont really use an airbrush beyond priming models
I should do more shit with it
sour hill
Airbrush also seems like a great choice for gently spraying weathering.
median pumice
I'm hoping so. I got a batch of custodes with vehicles and some Krieger and some IG tanks to clear out hah

It's nice for osl too
