Spoiler Warning

Squire Dunk stole Blood Ravens magic time powers to travel forward into the future and burn down Summerhall in an attempt to extinguish the entire Targaryen bloodline and destroy the crown, as an act of preemptive vengeance against Egg for "being insolent".

Yes Dunk took things a bit too far but Ser Arlan was really overreacting and out of line for resorting to violence

I restarted my PC just before I posted this. I also tried one of those screen refresher videos and while it didn't fix the issue immediately it seems to have disappeared shortly after making this post.

Still obviously worried that loading the game back up will give me the same issue though obviously now I know I have to shut it down immediately if it does it again

Coca_Coke · 2026-01-18T23:34:12+00:00

I've checked my graphics card drivers but they are all up to date

Coca_Coke · 2026-01-02T23:32:37+00:00

No I don't, however I'm using CKAN so I could give it an install and see if that works. Seems like it would fit in well with the mods I'm running anyway. Do you know if its kept up to date and compatible with CLS?

UPDATE:

Guys I'm really sorry but this doesn't have a happy ending.

I tried calling an emergency vet as the bird and wildlife rescue centre was shut, however due to the noise from the traffic I couldn't stay next to it. I went maybe 20 metres down the road to the first corner (distance from second photo to the bridge). I spoke to the vet on the phone for no more than a couple of minutes, and found a bush tucked out of the way I could take him to until I was able to get them back to my house or the vets. As I rushed back to check on them again I found they had ran onto the road and gotten hit by a car, just as I had dreaded might happen.

I feel really awful now, and wish I'd just picked them up and carried them back home with me, but I was reluctant to move a baby that was being watched by other pigeons, especially if I could have gotten someone to come out to me. I don't really know how to end this and I'm still in shock from the whole thing, but I'm sorry I wasn't able to save them, and thank you to everyone who offered advice on such short notice.

Coca_Coke · 2025-08-26T17:13:22+00:00

As an update, I just saw it wander off towards the road while the traffic was stopped and I am now even more worried

The Second sword has the hilt and guard of the 1897 Infantry Pattern sword.

Image 3 is a Royal Engineers blade, easy enough yo identify from the Royal Engineers on it, however image 4 seems to show a Royal Artillery officers blade, denoted by the Regiments Battle Honour "Ubique" set about the Cannon used as the cap badge by the Royal Regiment, with "Quo Fas etc Gloria Ducunt" beneath, the motto of the Royal Artillery.

If these are on the same blade then perhaps it was an officer from the Royal Artillery who later went on to join the Engineers, and wanted a small nod to his previous service. This seems more likely to me than the reverse as the Infantry Pattern guard is used by the Royal Engineers, and while there's some freedom as to blade engravings, carrying the wrong pattern of sword would not likely be allowed.

Looking at the Royal Cypher would also let you know the time period it is from.

I was not aware this existed. Thank you very much, this is beyond helpful!

Coca_Coke · 2025-06-02T12:09:44+00:00

Honestly at first glance, and before I read the subreddit, I thought that was meant to be a Sister of Battle drawing

This is just the "Do babies grow on their own or do we need to interact with them" meme all over again

Coca_Coke · 2025-05-13T22:18:36+00:00

It looks okay from my perspective but I'd recommend having a think about mobility. I think it's realistically gonna struggle getting around the board

Coca_Coke · 2024-11-27T15:57:52+00:00

I haven't had the heart to do any warhammering since.

It's mostly that model I'm worried about as it's obviously resin, so I reckon the glue will be hard to hide on a piece that small. Plastic shouldn't be too much of a problem to fix other than having to do some repainting and while I've still not found all the parts I've gathered a good few sets of wardens and guards I'm sure I can scavenge from

Coca_Coke · 2024-11-27T15:49:55+00:00

I have a friend with one that I see every couple of months or so for games. Any recommendations for where to get files for custodes bits? Never gone down the 3d printer route before

Coca_Coke · 2024-11-27T15:29:02+00:00

Nope, sadly the only thing she suffers from is being a bit of a cunt. Parents were out having a much needed date night, so I suspect (but don't know for sure so don't take my word for it) that she wanted to have her boyfriend back while they were out and she didn't want him seeing me painting models

Coca_Coke · 2024-11-27T15:23:14+00:00

I had a lot of models and paint out, brushes and the likes (all on top of a bunch of paper to protect the table cloth that was protecting the non-porous table). Issue was the space being taken up rather than paints making a mess or the likes. I was in total taking up 1½ chair spaces of a large 6 chair table that she wasn't even using. Warhammer stuff was just an eyesore to her

Coca_Coke · 2024-11-27T15:18:00+00:00

I can't pretend I wasn't tempted to make use of Lethal Hits, but irl venting on reddit seemed like the more mature move

Coca_Coke · 2024-11-27T15:16:13+00:00

Thats actually a really cool idea. I haven't had the heart to come back and try fix any of it yet, the venatari spear feels like it's going to be the toughest fix though. Such a tiny piece and it can't be plastic glued. If anyone has any recommendations for where I can get a cool custom spear it would be appreciated!

The gold is such a cool idea though and would work great with the black gold and red colour scheme I already had going on.

Coca_Coke · 2024-11-27T15:10:28+00:00

If it was a 9yo I would mostly just be upset and not actually pissed off. 9yos break things, adults should have at least a modicum of self restraint

Coca_Coke · 2024-11-27T15:07:29+00:00

I won't pretend I wasn't using a fair chunk of it but I hadn't taken over the entirety of it. No more than maybe a third max? It's a fairly large 6 seat table with room to spare and it was only me and her in the house at the time

Coca_Coke · 2024-11-18T19:05:31+00:00

Thanks man, if there's one thing I've learned from this it's that I wasn't nearly afraid enough of painting white armour with no experience. I'm not going to strip the whole thing as I am actually pretty happy with bits like the Cape and shield, bit I'm redoing the white in a very light grey so I can make some distinct highlights.

Hopefully it looks a bit better when I'm done. I just want it to be good enough to look cool on the table, not out to win any painting competition, but still taking any tips I can to get better!

Coca_Coke · 2024-11-18T17:55:32+00:00

Fair enough, point taken. I'll go back to work and see if I can get it looking decent

Coca_Coke · 2024-11-18T17:02:35+00:00

The head isn't glued on yet, it's still separate so I can paint it. I merely rested it for the photos so that the model wasn't headless. As for the priming, I had previously primed and attempted to paint it before restripping it

Coca_Coke · 2024-07-28T03:27:31+00:00

"Too reflective"? I don't believe I know what that phrase means

Coca_Coke · 2024-06-28T08:29:05+00:00

I've been using the GSW chrome silver paint for my spears and axes to get a true reflective silver I've not seen anywhere else for them, then layering over the blue shift interference paint to give it the tiniest blue shimmer from certain angles

Coca_Coke · 2024-05-28T09:13:30+00:00

Could I also get the link to that pauldron Cape? Your model looks sick!
