The Egyptian word for cat was “mau” so close enough

Been painting a lot of AoS lately and kiiiinda miss doing 40K. This was one of my favorite projects, especially doing up industrial bases.
People going fast and lose the rules of grammar
The Ubisoft model
The Infinite and the Divine. Follows two Necrons, but you don’t need to know anything at all about them or 40K beforehand. It’s standalone, but connects with another set of books should you want more. It eases you into the density of the lore, while having the over the top charm we love about 40K.
Having read I don’t know how many warhammer books at this point I disagree with the Eisenhorn starting point. It’s good, but if you’ve read any sci/fi fantasy novel in the last 20 years then you’ve basically read Eisenhorn, but now it has a 40K paint job. Follows humans, which granted are interesting in the universe, but we’ve read enough about humans check out some immortal space robot mummies instead!
You’d think this would be a career suicide film but it’s aaaaaaalmost okay. At times the creator’s heart is in the right place, but fumbles the bag pretty hard by, you know, making this. It’s possible the script folks read was different enough that they only saw the wholesome parts. That or they were paid a shit ton.
After giving advice to a woman struggling with relationship problems, Joe is encouraged to audition for a local radio time slot. Joe hesitates to apply, but auditions in order to afford to send his son to a private gifted school. After getting rejected by the station, he resubmits an audition recording as Loqueesha, a no-nonsense sassy black woman, and becomes a national success.
An incredibly baffling film. It flies right up to the self aware sun but always manages to crash back down to out of touch reality. Highly recommend
This is an interesting take because I would expect the complete opposite. I find it extremely tedious when AAA games force the player into situations where they have to climb or walk slowly so they can pan the camera to whatever fancy graphical set piece their art team made, and more time doing that then any gameplay. Why not just watch a movie at that point?
When playing a game I want a game. It’d be incredibly frustrating if every time I solved a square in Sudoku I had to then watch an episode of a TV show. Heartening to hear AAA is swinging back the other way and wasting less time.
I really enjoyed Heretic’s Fork
A well built world, big reveals, and wonderful emotional payoffs. Easy rec for a Sanderson fan.
Gonna be reeeaaaal hard resisting early access, really wanna experience this complete. The fledgling Godot dev in me is dying to see under the hood
When the game pitch is a cinematic trailer, then a whole bunch of name drops Directed By X, Starring Y, Soundtrack by Z, and not a single mention of what the heck the player is even gonna do in the game, when will AAA studios drop the pretenses and do what they actually wanna do and just make movies
No keeb, only cat
Thought I’d share these cards I just finished up.
I dunno about you, but I like cards. The book is incorrect the moment it’s printed, and printouts are nice buuuut annoying to flip through pages. Cards are nice.
First, the lovely person running Print-AOS over on Ko-fi super nicely formatted the various scrolls for a 4x6 format and put em for free download. Snagged the squads I have, then went to google for a suitable cardback. I really liked the image of the battletome with AOS banner over it, but it was weirdly hard to find for some armies. There isn’t some repository of them, just randomly used on articles. Snagged jpgs of those, then over the Snapfish (any photo printing service or your own printer is fine, I’m not sponsored I swear). $5 and had all the photos shipped to me. Slide em into some 4x6 toploaders and done.
Reeeeaaally enjoyed the 3 games of spearhead I got to play, hopefully having these will make it easier to get people I have over to try it out. Books and printouts are a bit daunting for folks, cards are love. If anyone has an even easier solution please share

Anyone have any tips to make my Thousand Sons Rhino to look more like it's erupting with tumorous growth?
(lemmy.world)
Looking at it, I feel like it kinda looks like I just slapped on random bits and milliput. I did, but I want it to look more purposeful/part of the piece.
I watched Midwinter Mini’s video for the nurgle land raider and used much of that for inspo. I really wanted the PVA+Superglue trick to work but it did not come out as nice for me. I thought about adding more and just not painting it, but a bit worried about slapping that on miiiight be too much?
If anyone has any advice to make it look more like a flesh change or parts erupting from the metal (or any other advice to elevate this) I would greatly appreciate the guidance.
Did these in like 30 minutes each, super fun and soooo easy for painting noobs like me

Even though I feel like I've painted a thousand lizards I still don't feel like I have a grasp on how I should be doing the underbelly. They have little slits for where one might think nuln oil would slip right in and make it all look nice, but instead it's a fight to prevent pooling. If anyone has advice or a video on how to do that better I would really appreciate.
Then for my list, I have slann starmaster, 10 saurus warriors, 3 kroxigor, oldblood on carnosaur, now these guys. Next up I'm painting skink starseer and skink starpriest, then the old warcry squad that came with the 2023 battleforce. After that, I'm not sure if I should pick up more krox to make the warspawned, raptadons, or if I need to get that faction terrain piece. Played some spearhead but never full AoS, so would also appreciate any insight on how I can best prepare a decent army.
