Hello I'm Tristan!

I like to make things with sculpey and paint it. I'm new to miniature painting but enjoying exploring the space with my son.

I also like building gunpla and other model kits, playing board games, video games and hanging out with my rescue dogs and family.

No need to be condescending. I'm talking about the case specifics, which to my untrained eye seem to be entirely about how these minis could be used to play a GW game. Which in an official capacity they aren't and in an unofficial capacity you can use anything to play already.

You get it!

I hate playing this silly game!

Honestly they're neck and neck for me.

But what about samurai champloo?

It's so good! I've been playing it with my son who loves a beat em up and has just gotten into roguelites too. Perfect combo.

You up to Badlaa?

I love X-Files but there are some absolute stinkers in there!

The first of my siblings duo of wraith lords is finished! I'll finish the other one later but I should probably do some chores first #nerdlings #aeldari #warhammercommunity #40k #eldar

Gotcha. Still doesn't feel like it would affect GW at all over what exists already. The dudes stuff looks crazy similar a lot of the time and that's not a good look!

Tristan is painting slowly @tristanwelsh.bsky.social · 12h

Oh for sure. But I mean like... You can play with anything if you want. Just doesn't seem like it'd affect them at all. But the dudes stuff is crazy similar to the official stuff, not a great look!

Second crewmember for the earthshakers. I'm relatively happy with how the red screen turned out on this one.

Yeah I'm coming to terms with it. I guess since I'm semi new I feel like I should experiment a lot and soak it all in. But then I just go painting some purple again!

Tristan is painting slowly @tristanwelsh.bsky.social · 13h

Well you are very good at it!

I unintentionally paint a lot of purple it seems...

Sorry to hear it mate. No doubt you gave her the best life possible. They truly have an impact on our lives in a huge way. You never forget them but at least for me that sadness turns into fond memories eventually.

A friend of mine has the same issue and uses uv glue?

Little bit more work in that you need to juggle a uv flash light to get it to set but it seems to work well.

Epoxy glue could be another option?

Damn you're good at this. Freaking love those big ol squigs.

If it's like for home play... Well you could play with lego pieces or cardboard cut outs.

But I get that protecting IP is weird and I don't understand the law at all so don't mind me!

Again I'm probably wrong but can't you not even kit bash with anything none GW if you ever wanna use those units in any official tournaments etc? So like what's the problem? They know this stuff isn't GW and no one can use them to play so what are the grounds?
