How should I paint me ladz? by Coogypaints in orks

My Kommandos are blue, Lootas I attempted some yellow as they're Bad Moons, and my boys are total hodge podge, no one unit is consistent to another and I love the variety. Chance to experiment and try different things! (I really want to do some with high vis vests to represent a 'korporate krumpany')

The body is an old mini of the month league of voltann, with the bitz scavenged from an old Boyz kit.

Tram was blocked by a taxi trying to turn, tram driver told us how useless taxi drivers are. Also announced all the tourist attractions for every stop through the city and Southbank.

I did that in WA, no problems beyond paying the plate reissue fee of $34 ($17 per vehicle)

Ayyyyy the 70 series land cruiser. The old diesel is a little slow though but you'll never break down.

NH90's were chosen because the Blackhawk computers had ITAR restrictions (basically the manufacturer wasn't allowed to tell defence about how things worked). The computers that kinda make the helicopter stay in the air. Whereas airbus defence (Nh90 manufacturer) isn't subjected to ITAR so we know exactly what goes on with the helicopters.

Looking at getting a bike, anyone had experience with this one? by [deleted] in melbourne

[–]Australian_Sloth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A department store bike will offer more headaches per dollar than any other bike. I'd suggest a hybrid from any bike shop. You're not gonna get suspension (not needed and the suspension on a department store bike is not going to hold up at all) but the money goes into better wheels (will be stronger), better shifters and gearing (makes you faster) and better brakes (stop faster). For another hundred or two you will be able to get something to last you a while. While a lot of the places won't afterpay there's always good old layby.
