Callidus Assassin mid-transformation.

Tried to depict a Callidus Assassin transforming from a Tau Ethereal

I had a failed 3d print of a Callidus Assassin, a spare Ethereal, and an event requiring models that were no more than 25% 3d printed.

So I tried my hand at manual kit bashing again using clippers, a dremel, and tamiya putty.

I did a zenithal and then used Army Painter Speedpaint v1.0 and some GW washes.

Was originally going for white Viorla armor, tried to put some Army Painter Dark wash, but it was still reading as unpainted to me, rather than white. So I just added some GW Sepia Wash instead.

Still debating if I want to add a Tau text transfer decal to the middle cloth thing.

Anyway, still haven't varnished it, not looking forward to the Speedpaint V1.0 reactivating again, but not a whole lot I can do about it.

Any Krieg officer who goes into action without his shovel is improperly dressed.
  • Well this is a krieg 3d print I composited to have a "power shovel".
    Power Shovels do not exist anywhere in canon lore, but there's no lore reason a shovel cannot be made into a power weapon.

    A normal shovel is a meme regarding Krieg. It does not have much basis in lore.
    Krieg were famous for trench warfare. Trenches are dug with shovels. Memes about them fighting with shovels ensued.

    I decided to take the gag a step further, by printing and painting power shovels for all the power weapons in my army.

    In my homebrew lore, they're from a planet that specialized in ship breaking, and they first used power shovels to dig furrows in adamantium prows so they could be broken and re-processed.

  • Bust of Huyang I 3d printed and painted.

    Sister is a huge David Tenant fan, so I thought I'd make something for her as a Christmas present. Didn't have the right blue tint for the head and made the mistake of trying to apply bit with a brush rather than an air brush. But I think it's passable.

    STL is from LOWRIXDESIGN on the purple 3d printing website. Though I did re-do the eyes.

    Plex Users Fear New Feature Will Leak Porn Habits to Their Friends and Family
  • I use Jellyfin on Roku because my Samsung TV was too old for it.
    It sucks on Roku.

    I have not figured out the pattern for why some UHD videos don't play remotely while others do, only that debugging it is fiendishly difficult since it all works fine locally.

    If you ever resume a video, the subtitles are out of sync. And I haven't found a way to adjust them.

    Some videos with certain encodings play only on the PC app, but not Roku or Android.

    For that matter Android is basically there to just easily download a copy, I don't even bother trying to play with it.

    At least Plex consistently plays things.

  • I'm fine with a company making their own games exclusive to their own software platform.
    I don't like it, but I accept it.

    I absolutely hate a company inducing other companies to release only on their software platform. Seems like monopolistic practices rather than competing on services.

  • Hamas vows 'full force' after Israel steps up Gaza ground operations
  • A stance of "Both sides are bad" is just a stance that favors the Status Quo.
    The underdog needs the extra assistance, the superior doesn't.
    So for that reason I'm pro-Israel, don't want either side winning, don't want aid to either side, so that defaults to a pro-Israel stance.
    I'm comfortable being labeled as such.

    Goku? Never heard of that island
  • After much contemplation, he (Akira Toriyama ) could not decide on a name for his "Kame" attack, so he asked his wife (Nachi Mikami), who came up with the name.[12] She told Akira that it would be easy to remember the name of the attack if he used the name of the cultural Hawaiian king named Kamehameha (lit. "the very lonely one" or "the one set apart" in Hawaiian language).

  • Knights!

    Finally got my knights army fully assembled and primed, just in time to take a nerfbat to the face.

    I've had a plan for a lance of BattleTech mechs running around my head for a while. The Warhammer you see there is the start/centerpiece. Going to be printing out some 28mm scale Locusts next.

  • How many people actually dropped Reddit for Lemmy?
  • I'm still mostly on Reddit, but I've definitely cut down my participation. For example I stopped up/downvoting posts entirely. And haven't really been participating in askreddit / eli5

    The post I've made are either mirrored, or limited to relatively obscure communities.

    As for lemmy, still lurking, not quite ready to dive in.
