I made so many mistakes and almost quit in the middle. I kept going though, didn't want to give up, told myself if I couldn't stand the sight of it once I was done I'd sell it for cheap and count it as a learning experience. Now I kind of like it, wart(hog)s and all, and when I look at it I remember everything I learned from painting it.
I'm tired of hearing about blorbos that could 10/10 the Emperor. I want to know what non-Warhammer characters would make the Ruinous Powers hide under their collective beds.
I got into 40K, then AoS, bought a box of Deathrattles (I love them so much), now I have three different Spearheads (Soulblight, Seraphon, Orruk), the small introductory set, and a General's Handbook 2026 - 2027. Yes, I know. More money and excitement than brains. But I'm trying to be more sensible about things now.
I actually want to play Spearhead so I need the trinkets and tools to do that, as I have everything else. Would it be better to grab the big Ultimate/Spearhead Starter Set or the Spearhead: City of Ash Gaming Pack? The latter is cheaper and seems to fill in the gaps but I'm not sure if it's more niche than the general big box. For context, my wife likes Stormcast, and I'm indifferent to both them and Skaven although the rats are growing on me.
Thanks for any help!
I was waiting for our turn! Some bangers in the lineup but I wish there was more.
Now that I've paid the meme tax:
The Citadel glue (I know it's not technically glue, it's a plastic dissolver, but you know what I mean) either makes my head feel weird or outright gives me a mild headache. Even if I do it in a big room with an open window and an air purifier going, the whiff of it straight from the pot or on the parts does the same. It takes a while for the smell to fade too. I should mention I've got a neurological thing that makes me more sensitive to smells and fumes. Army Painter "glue" does the same thing, so it's not a brand issue. I've been powering through because I love the hobby but tbh it's starting to wear on me.
By contrast, superglue is fine. No problems at all.
So if I switch from using plastic dissolvers to superglue are my miniatures going to be noticeably shittier looking or more fragile? What are the cons?
Thanks for any help. I'd put together so many more models if I knew I didn't have to suck it up and whip out the headache juice each time.
I don't know the author but I'm excited for this one. Tyranids vs CSM is a fun matchup!
idk how many points it is for 40k

I don't use Citadel paints
Today is Father's Day. I'm a dad but the day and the celebration of it doesn't mean much to me. If my family wishes me a happy Father's Day and gives me a hug I'm good. My wife asked if I wanted her to make a special breakfast (like bacon, eggs, pancakes, that sort of thing, it's what I did for her on Mother's Day) and I said no. I didn't want her to go to the trouble. Plus I'm trying to lose weight and that wouldn't help. I just wanted my usual plain oatmeal for breakfast.
Today I came downstairs and my wife and younger son (6, NT) told me Happy Father's Day. My older son (8, ASD) said he was sad there wasn't special food and he thought Father's Day would be more fun. I explained my reasons for not wanting a big breakfast. He cried and hugged his mom.
Since then he's been mean mugging me, grunting at me, and talking about how Father's Day is boring. He wants there to be a kid's day or a siblings day so he can have special food. All the kids at school made Father's Day presents, but he didn't even want to watch me open the present he made for me. I told him I loved it and he hid under a blanket.
I am trying not to take it personally but this is pretty upsetting. It's not just that he's neutral on the subject - whatever, it's a greeting card holiday created to move merch - it's that he's now actively complaining about it and resenting it. And bringing the rest of the house down with his bad attitude, as any time my younger son hugs me or my wife does something nice for me he grunts or whines.
Again, all I wanted was a standard greeting and a hug. Or a high five, or a head nod, I don't give a shit. But instead what I got is his open resentment that I didn't pick something he would have liked.
I'm not really sure what to do. I'm just ignoring it or trying to even though inside I am so, so disappointed at how he's acting.
