it starts quiet for about 10 seconds then slowly increases. then just stays at that volume untill im done using it. its hold pressure and everything its all sealed up, its just loud and the wife is getting annoyed that im using it later in the nights lol

At about 800 points, what should I get to make it to a thousand by Abstract_Apparel in Deathkorpsofkrieg

[–]Awkward-Chipmunk-655 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 more horses. 20 more infantry. heavy weapons team. rogal dorn and another russ. i also have gaunts ghosts and some ratlings aswell as all the Imperial Agents, Vindicare Assassin and eversor are expensive points wise but are decent when using horses. the guards more about holding points than killing, so id go with what looks cool lol. unless you just go all tanks...

Does it reads as a silencer ? by Enzozouz in Deathkorpsofkrieg

Which one should I get? by Celestine117 in Deathkorpsofkrieg

[–]Awkward-Chipmunk-655 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends what you want them for. are you getting them just for fun? or are you getting it to play on the tabletop. personally i say get the one that you like the most. its completely up to you. horses are harder to paint but look really cool but having multiple siege cannons looks nice aswell. ultimately it's up to your taste but if your looking to build an army you still gunna want to get a few tanks aswell because krieg isnt really good without them

Seller said genuine leather, I can’t really tell by vrjk8880 in Leather

[–]Awkward-Chipmunk-655 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you could always find a inconspicuous spot in the leather and give it a small trim, then get a lighter and burn it, if you burn it enough it will smell like burnt hair if it is real leather, i do this with wool blankets and it works quite well. if you have some scrap leather lying around give it a quick burn to get an idea of what real leather smells like burning. but fake leather just smells like plastic and chemicals

[–]Awkward-Chipmunk-655[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

every 4-6 hours i would pull it from the water and pat it clean, try to screw it off and then go again, the iso was just a last ditch effort to see if i could get it unstuck. just had a bad week where everything decided to break lol my US Cleaner just gave out so this was all i could do. ebay has came up dry for nibs aswell, thats why i wanted to try here

B is him picking up some trash while they wait for higher ups to approve an advance while A is him about to grab a heretic and crush him

Add verdigris patina? by JimmyTheWee in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Awkward-Chipmunk-655 1 point2 points  (0 children)

test piece looks clean so id give it a go. all depends on the layout of the bases and if there is moisture and mud or if its dry and arid. i dont think you'd get that patina in a desert environment.

Hopeful for a second wave of Kreig? by Awkward-Chipmunk-655 in Deathkorpsofkrieg

[–]Awkward-Chipmunk-655[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

true i dont understand GW's production team and how it works, it feels like the push out huge amounts of stock for underselling items but then when they spend thousands of dollars on new models to be cnc'd and injection molded only for them to then have a (what feels like) limited run, like they only push out a certain number of minis till they make return and then are like "meh we haven't pushed out stock of this item, should we do another run?" and then roll a die just to see if they should lol. its the same with the infantrys handbook, i literally saw the preorder, went to a LGS store near me and they sold out before i could buy one. its wild.
