My advice.....force yourself to cut something, or glue something when you don't want to.

If you only do things that you are comfortable with, then you can never improve your skills beyond where they currently are.

You got me wrong, cutting and glueing always goes, no problem, I'm only talking about painting. I need to force myself to see a demanding paintjob through, especially if there is doubt about color choice etc.. Besides what improvement could there be beyond "godlike"?

er...yeah...i think we need t swat team to take you down a peg... or your head might explode...and we can´t have that, now can´t we?

Seriously, don't mess with the gods...

God dammit get painting!

yeah right... nuff said...

What am I supposed to damn? Or was it paint? Now you confused me...

get to the painting asap! and be wrned... i could always insert a monty phyton vid here... because it makes me maaaadd....

Get off your pedestal boyo...until I see that Wizard pimped you're not the messiah you're just a very naughty boy

Thin paint, lick brush, dip, paint, rinse, repeat.

QFT, how longs it been now... !

Don't even know what you're talking about! I've got till Octobre right?!

Oh crap yeah, i forgot we were all a year early, god we're far too keen obviously!

No, now the new evidence is that Sir Issac Newton predicted the world will end in 2060. You've got time for maybe 2 more paintjobs Baiyuan LOL

Oh. I agree with that. It's how I started bending and shaping PC in the first place. Made myself try what I didn't think I could do......

Man, I am sorry, not having my phone is screwing with my ability to keep up......



I missed a whole page ferslug it......

You and I can have a race! If I finish painting a model first, you're officially the slowest painter ever, and I lose my title

hahaha! but hey as long as he comes out with at least 20 unpainted for every painted, then i'll be happy

You already did, Prime, I have 1400 points of CSM and have never painted anything. By default I think the title is mine, for now......


Take your time and do it right, Baiyun. I can wait to see the magnificence I know you will put forth.....

You mean we can actually paint our models !!!!!!!



This hobby never stops surprising me I thought paint was just for walls and cars HUH! go figure

I have creative diarrhoea it comes on in a big wave of gut churner range leaving me empty and slightly deflated after …….

omg... it is amazing how far some of us here can push a metaphor...

Push ha ha ha you did it again

Stop straining on it guys, you'll give yourself a hernia.....

Like your new mini mate , he is very gothic .

at max and LDD... see?^^

LOL

Sooo...

@Neil: Thanks mate.

@Vik: Just remembered I still owe you a reply regarding the power armor. Does every power armor need the typical SM backpack? I'd say not at all. There are several examples of people in power armor who don't feature any type of backpack. Coteaz (master-crafted armor is just finer power armor), Tyrus (officially power armor, huge bulky armor plates, no visible power source) and so on.
Maybe they have more refined power sources, or they aren't meant to last as long in the field as space marine power armor. Maybe the SM have bigger back packs for their stimulant injection system and the advanced optical computing system etc..

Update:
I decided not to dive head on into a fresh paintjob, but rather grow up and push through Samarianne. Once I'm done with her I'll follow the plan and go for a quick paintjob on either Tiberius or Theoderich. I guess if I don't see it through soon I'll never get off my ass and paint her. And I don't want her to end up on the eternally postponed shelf. (No I do not actually have on of those.)
So apart from taking care of my sick significant other and the usual errants I've sat down with some pots of tea and painted Samariannes scope today. Done. Small by step...

hmmm... thanks for the postponed reply of my question... but it really doesnt completely answer it... tho i see your point... but i thought to myself more on terms of similar look and a similar function to go side by side... so i was wondering why minis dont have them ...and it is a matter with all inq miins i have known of that the lack the poerpacks... and this still bugs me in a way... i like a bit of stringent direction in terms of technological matter.... but that is jsut me i suppose... your idea about the extra need of space with the big poerpack tho is a good explenation... tho i doubt that GW has ever thought about it any lenght of time^^... also i just realized that i sound as if i am about to be in a nerd rage here^^

Pretty sure inquistors have access to better power armour than the SM?

Either way, SM backpacks are huge because they have a huuuuge battery life on, to keep maximum combat operativity for a good few days, maybe even weeks.

Inquisitors have their armour to be shaped beautifully (usually) concentrating on looks/ how imposing they are to the general public rather than functionality. As a consequence they usually have internal battery supplies in the armour, that last between a day and a week tops.

All that from the top of my head, completely forgotten what the sm/inq/dark heresy books say.

o... i have to sa that i never read any books of 40k stories for now... so if you all say that INQ pwerarmor is built that way... i think i have to live with that...

thanks baiyuan and vitruvian

I'd also say that sm power armor is elementary different. So astartes armor would have the same general design but very different technical stats, like a hummer and a mini cooper. Just like I think that bolters aren't all the same. An astartes bolter should be bigger and more powerful in my opinion.
