Just one more white paint bro, and then I’ll be able to paint White Scars bro, just one more white.

Work in progress on a Worm. Pleased to have found a pink that works (Army Painter Buffed Hide)

@Aaronontheweb This is without knowledge of the domain, but perhaps there could be an Unknown member as the first value, otherwise the default value is Yearly in case of programming error.

@madskristensen Could it show (maybe it does already) the solution directory? I often have multiple check outs of the same repo to side by side directories, so just showing the solution file name at the top of VS isn’t always that useful.

Did some work on an Arvus Lighter. Going to be the objective for some intro 40K games I’m going to run over the weekend. Such an amazing model. Hope you all get to hobby soon. #ParentsPainting

I think I’m going to start working on some Horus Heresy for the rest of year. Tried a contrast scheme for Scars 2 yrs ago but didn’t like the result. I am happier with this classic scheme, and it’s very soothing doing the trim. Hope you all get to hobby soon. #ParentsPainting

@KierdaleModels It moved to The Old World, removed from Slaves to Darkness in AoS. I don’t know if it’s been reboxed yet though and the website is being a bit slow today.

@WorhammerPod Just watching it now thanks!

[Crispin Walker-Buckton @Crispin_Giles]

@Aaronontheweb @AkkaDotNET Good luck with finding it. In the .NET9 benchmarks it might be worth disabling the new GC mode that’s enabled by default and re-comparing. https://t.co/17tPIisOPh

@JJnumber10 AoS coach - @AoSCoach , his guests and him really know their stuff and they are all very positive. Even very casual players like myself can appreciate and learn from them.

[Crispin Walker-Buckton @Crispin_Giles]

@WargamersR When I saw it I wondered if it had leaked anywhere - it seemed a bit out of the blue. They did similar stuff with Sisters of Battle and Cities of Sigmar, but those had been more explicit previously about them coming. I’m still excited though.

[Crispin Walker-Buckton @Crispin_Giles]

@Aaronontheweb Thanks, that’s very helpful

[Crispin Walker-Buckton @Crispin_Giles]

@Aaronontheweb How are you populating the seed data, if you don’t mind me asking.

[Crispin Walker-Buckton @Crispin_Giles]

@AaronWHobby That sounds awesome, but with potentially a new HH edition next year, and the God specific daemons have always been less of a thing in it, yeah, it seems a bit of a riskier proposition at the moment!

[Crispin Walker-Buckton @Crispin_Giles]

@AaronWHobby Deathwatch got absolutely ripped to shreds and that was a fan favourite so i don’t think we can take anything below a certain popularity as safe if it is hard to balance game wise. 2 / 2

[Crispin Walker-Buckton @Crispin_Giles]

@AaronWHobby A lot of the models will be pretty safe. It’s just if being able to run mixed God daemons in 40K will be a thing is an open question. It’s a little unusual to get this far into an edition and not have any of the God specific chaos marine codexes be out yet. 1 / 2

[Crispin Walker-Buckton @Crispin_Giles]

@PlasticCraic warscrolls unveiled seemed dry and insipid. 40K can get away with similar due to network effects, AoS is not popular enough to do that. 2/2

[Crispin Walker-Buckton @Crispin_Giles]

@PlasticCraic I tried to champion AoS in my local group, and I enjoyed 3.0. But S2D and SCE lost a lot of modern kits + other armies, and GW were hinting at paywalling everything, and the rules seemed very tournament focussed (no rules across multiple phases, losing battleshock) 1/2

[Crispin Walker-Buckton @Crispin_Giles]

@90percentgeek Third party places still have it, apparently.
