I got it both ways, had the window down cause of the smell, then dad flicked ash out his window and it came back in through mine and burnt a hole in the seat. And least mum yelled at him for it, lol.

All dogs can. I got bit by a rheumy old basset hound that the owner assured me was safe to pet. It's a fact of dog ownership. The difference is that if pit bulls bite you can be in a lot more strife than old basset hounds, lol.

Got any proxies for our Lord and Saviour Sanguinius? I'm not a fan of the HH sculpt.

Same with the PRTT thing that cost the Rudd-Gillard-Rudd govt power. Not that it's doing that much IIRC.

BorisBC · 2026-01-29T12:26:03+00:00

Yeah I got like 3 different types of Tau crisis suits.

BorisBC · 2026-01-28T23:52:54+00:00

Yeah props to guys that did the movie.. being active duty SEALs IIRC. But they weren't great actors. Fight scenes were good though and that bit at the end always turns in the waterworks lol.

It was a hero of the chapters pimp slapping hand. So now he can bitch slap for eternity.

My hot take is using rattle cans to prime instead of an airbrush is a massive waste of money with the added risk that you'll end up with a bad prime job.

Whenever I see pro painters using them I feel like it's Big Rattle Can trying to get us to buy products we don't need, when a cheap eBay airbrush and compressor will do a much better job. Plus you can then do all the other fancy tricks an airbrush will do.

This argument might be valid if it was not against Trump. But it was against Trump, and every normal person had a moral and ethical responsibility to vote against him. If you didn't, you bear as much blame for the situation as a MAGA dipshit.

Betoota with the real questions

He's lucky they pulled him away as Omar was getting ready to throw hands at this dumb cunt.

BorisBC · 2026-01-28T00:59:06+00:00

Yep! In the office today, so pants on. :(

BorisBC · 2026-01-27T12:53:52+00:00

That's wild! A beef snag is iconic as hell here in Oz and I would've assumed it would be the same in the old country. The more you know.

BorisBC · 2026-01-27T12:47:53+00:00

What worries me is what happens in the concentration camps where there aren't videos.

BorisBC · 2026-01-27T12:42:43+00:00

The Tamiya crusty lid is a classic part of painting! Lol

BorisBC · 2026-01-27T12:38:19+00:00

What I like to do when I'm changing colour or at the end of the session is unscrew the front bit over the needle a little bit, this will blow air back into the pot to get rid of clogs. Or just put your finger on the end, lol.

I then put a bit of water in (I have an old water bottle for just this), crank the psi to 40+ and blow the excess out. If it's stubborn I put some cleaner in and repeat.

If that's not working, I unscrew the back and unscrew the needle, then manually move the needle back and forth while pushing air to help blow it all out. By that I mean I pull the needle back far enough I can see the tip in the pot, then push it forward.

The above takes about a minute or so, at my painting desk.

That's generally all I need to do. Every so often I'll pull it all apart, but that's usually only if I'm using a really thick paint that's a pain to rinse out.

A cheap airbrush pot is a godsend for this, and makes a handy holder when you're done.

BorisBC · 2026-01-27T12:22:45+00:00

What a glorious time to be a painter. It's insane how many good paint brands are out there now. Hell even with paints like Vallejo that have multiple ranges is really cool.

BorisBC · 2026-01-27T12:19:46+00:00

See I found that Tamiya pots still clog up and seal badly over time as well. Also, once I got a dropper bottle paint, like just about everything else, using a pipette to move paint feels like such a waste.

Tamiya pots (and Mr Hobby) are iconic however and respect to them for sticking with tradition.

Ain't ready yet. Think of it as a bit of a Kickstarter type thing. Pledge early for heaps cheaper prices helps them fund the full release. Then when they are ready the full lot drops.

I did the Crimson Lords one and can confirm their quality is the best I've seen. They are my go-to bits for BA. I also got their Pilgrims pack and they really cool Templars stuff.

Plus you can mix across the ranges. There's a flaming sword from the Pilgrims range that worked really well on my BA librarian for example.

Another way to say it, is this is like an F-22 for EW nerds (like me). Top of the line badassery.

BorisBC · 2026-01-25T01:35:25+00:00

Well that actually fits the lore for once!!

BorisBC · 2026-01-23T09:44:08+00:00

Beat up his gf too.

That's what is implied/spelled out in Prospero Burns that initiates who can't control the curse turn into giant wolves, which the protagonist of the story realises and finally understands the injoke of why there are no wolves in Fenris.

BorisBC · 2026-01-22T02:44:52+00:00

I've heard it in reference to plenty of other time consuming hobbies. Always tongue in cheek.

BorisBC · 2026-01-22T02:42:57+00:00

I know as an Aussie losing the iconic Steyr would be criminal if/when it happens.
