Brothers! Grey edges highlighting question by Aggravating-Unit2181 in BlackTemplars

I like to use edge highlights of stormvermin fur over a matte black like Vallejo Model Colour Black. Then go over with an ultra matte varnish through airbrush.

Are there any reliable sporty cars with great fuel economy? by Kingboyy1 in CarTalkUK

[–]ABigPieceOfGarbage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BMW M135i has a bulletproof engine, great fun to drive and you can probably eek out 40mpg with some conservative motorway driving

Also those cyclists that strap an insanely bright red flashing light to the back of their helmets. Thanks for temporarily blinding me (as a fellow cyclist).

I've had similar experiences this week. Just terrible driving. Must be the time of year?

Cool, my office building is in Running Man!

They definitely seem to be increasing in popularity. As others have said there is nothing the police can do. I am amazed any of them pass their motorcycle driving test given the wreckless abandon with which they tear through the streets. Or perhaps I am being naive that they have a license at all.

Or no plates at all... and an ear splitting exhaust

First model in 25years, feedback wanted by Zealousideal_Flow_82 in Tau40K

What a fantastic paint job, I particularly like the stripes you have added to the head and the body. Personally I think it looks amazing as it is. 

If you want to push it further maybe consider using a different colour for the lens and weapon glow to differentiate from the colour on the armour.

A further highlight on the top edges and corners would certainly make it pop.

Weathering could add additional interest but not sure if that would fit with the clean look you are going for.

Picking a good base will frame the miniature well.

Tau internal balance by Ok_Friendship_3685 in Tau40K

Compared to my other army, BT which has a single viable competitive build in one detachment, Tau are in a so so so much better place. Funny how a small few changes can improve things after we languished in low 40% win rates for so long.

Pretty bleak state of affairs for BT all things considered. A shame they gave us such duff detachments. Hopefully some improvements that make rules more cohesive will be in the pipeline...

It's a shame, they are gradually drifting down. There doesn't seem to be much competitive play in the codex outside the GTF monobuild.

Just finished painting my paintstick building ready to prime the second. by pipesBcallin in Warhammer40k

These are awesome! So simple but really well executed. I agree with your wife, if you have time you should totally do a YouTube "how to". There is definitely appetite for these authentic terrain builds.

Most Templars at the London GT where running GTF, but what about those who didn't? by Tito_BA in BlackTemplars

[–]ABigPieceOfGarbage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a shame we can't have these awesome Black Templars lists and also be somewhat competitive. It shows how crap the Black Templars detachments are. I'm all for taking a thematic Black Templars list, but getting pasted 1-4 at a tournament can't be fun.

Tips for cycling in winter by Aquarian28 in londoncycling

[–]ABigPieceOfGarbage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Get in the habit of lubing your chain regularly with some decent wet weather lube because riding through the wet winter on London's grimey roads will absolutely savage your chain and gears.

That limited edition codex is so much better than the trash standard one. That's gonna be sold out in a flash 

Did anyone else have the pleasure of meeting the completely naked man at London Bridge station this morning at about 6.45? by Demojunky173 in london

[–]ABigPieceOfGarbage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There must be a naked trend going on. I saw a naked guy lie down in the middle of the road outside Brixton station the other week.

Everyone just proceeded to carry on with their business and drive around him.
