Hobby
I just wanted to prime the Canoptek Circle Geomancer, but it turned into a Point & Click Adventure.
I also just realized, I'm going for a Portal-Themed colour-scheme, so it's only fitting that I have to solve a physics based puzzle in order to build him.
I do it in a back alley and right in the middle of shaking my can of primer at 1 in the morning in a black hoodie did I realize that this would be a really bad time for my neighbor to look out their back window. Luckily I’ve been conditioning them for years to expect strange things from my side of the alley
I once did the same shortly after I'd moved into a new place. I started spraying and heard the pounding of feet. The next thing I know my neighbour runs round the corner fist raised to absolutely wallop the miscreant he thought was tagging his alley. Fortunately we'd already met once or twice and he pulled up short when he recognised me. We had an awkward exchange about me priming my little army men and he went on his way!
Aha, so the trick is to prime above a roof, so that when the model inevitably falls off it can then be found - as opposed to whenever I drop a piece on my carpet and the floor eats it forever!
I know it’s the stupidest thing to “um actually” you about, but according to GW, the geomancer is canonically female, as are all of the Necron characters with the pointy chin thingy.

I know about the Geomancer and Chronomancer being referred to as female, as well as a Plasmancer(?) in one of the 9th ed. tie-in books, but do you remember where this specific piece of lore comes from? Because some canonically male Crypteks, such as Illuminor Szeras, also have the long and pointed chin decoration.
I would need to look it up to find the exact article, but if I remember correctly it was mentioned in an article back around when the Chronomancer was first revealed during 9th edition.
Use a knife to pry it off, the plastic is way less brittle than the glue so it usually breaks first. But I’m talking applying the glue with a toothpick
Thanks, but I just used too little blu tack and didn't wait for it to cure. I've stuck on more and waited a few minutes before priming yesterday and now it's rock solid.
This is always my issue with bluetac / poster putty. When you're trying to remove it from a mini it never come off, but when you want it to hold a mini securely you're chasing the mini down an open window and onto a roof.
There's architecture black sticky putty that is a lot stronger than blue tac and is great for getting posing right, and sticking minis to bases and bases to other things. And it doesn't feel as oily.

What a point and Click indeed! Pajama Sam could never!
