Not content with finishing 4500 points of Orks in 7 days, I painted all of my Chaos Space Marines in a single painting session!

Nice job guy, the new army looks nice, well nicely gross considering its the children of father Nurgle. Wild idea, why not pick out some of the more interesting models of your new army and do a quick showcase video. It'd be a quick easy video to do and it'd give you a much needed break.

[@whitevader007]

Nicely done! I just started with Warhammer building&painting. My background/hobby is in disigning & making lifesize armors and costumes SF linked. In time I developed my own style, and most of the semi pro costume designers are inspired by my style. White Vader is the most known costume I made. And I found the insperation in a comic in which Darth Vader survived and became a Jedi… but he needed his armor. In Warhammer I also use my own style. This means that I change the basic and I use mixmaster to make new miniatures.

Glad to hear that you've been losing kilos using keto, did that myself in the past 2 years and it seems to be really working. Cheers!

[@barbarusbloodshed6347]

At this point (also been doing it for a bit more than two years) I'm convinced that that's the correct & healthy way for a human being to eat. It's also kind of obvious, we didn't really eat much grain before we went from nomads to permanent settlers and that was fairly recent. Pretty sure our bodies aren't good at dealing with these carb-bombs... even though they come in handy when you have a tough life and work in the field all day. But us people of today, we usually don't and just get... fat and unhealthy. The best thing is not feeling hungry, though. The carb-eaters around me get that insane look in their eyes when they're hungry and are hurting with hunger... I still remember what that's like and I say: never again!

[@scottselvidge86]

@@barbarusbloodshed6347 just be careful as keto can lead to gallstones. I did the diet and had to have my gallbladder out recently. I do have a family history of gallstones though, so that could have been a contributing factor.

[@Melditus]

If i had any health issues i'd ask a doctor before going on any keto diet. Keto diet can lead to more than gallstones. For diabetics it can lead to health complications and even death. Even for healthy persons a long keto diet combined with a night of heavy drinking (and no carbs) can lead to blood poisoning in the worst case scenario. Think it through before you go on a keto diet it's not for everyone.

[@barbarusbloodshed6347]

@@Melditus I thought keto was really healthy for diabetics? For the rest: I don't drink, I don't smoke, don't do any kind of drugs.

[@Melditus]

@@barbarusbloodshed6347 Oh no quite the contrary. To achieve ketosis where the body burns muscle mass and fat for energy instead of carbohydrates a normal person has to cut out the carbohydrates (this also lowers insulin production). Well if a diabetic followed a keto diet (i'm ignoring the fact that a diabetic can achieve ketosis just by not administering enough insulin) it would mean he/she would have to cut down the insulin dosages to adapt to the reduced carb intake. Because a diabetic does not have his own insulin production any lapses or errors might prove dangerous as low insulin levels would lead to too many keto bodies in the blood which causes ketoacidosis (blood poisoning) which can be fatal. And well... if the goal is to build or retain muscle mass while dieting then of course keto is also not a good choice as it also burns muscle in addition to fat (+ lowers insulin production which is a growth hormone and a bottleneck for how much protein your body can splice)
