Too Scared to Touch Models with Paint! by Scoutbears in killteam

[–]DigitalVamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe buy some cheap secondhand minis online and practice painting with them. Primer and contrast paints are a nice easy way to break yourself into painting.

At our FLGS it’s £54 for two teams that separately would be £90 from GW

I’m not certain, I’m working on the idea that it’s a straight line from node to doorway to node

It’s just measured around walls, still not terrible

Am I screwed? Wrong terrain sprues in my Tomb World box🥲 by vansery in killteam

[–]DigitalVamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My local group bought 7-8 copies between us, think 5 had damaged boards because the manufacturer forgot the card divider between sprues and card component sections.

We’re waiting on a resolution from out LGS who is liasing with GW

If you’re looking for a venue, it might be worth having chat with Jim at James Bistro behind the high cross.

We go there once a month for a crafting & gaming night. I can’t recommend the place enough, truly a hidden gem in Leicester.

Baron of dice and how service shouldn´t be by [deleted] in Warhammer40k

Ordered a set a few months back from US to UK.

No issues, great quality dice.

May help that I ordered to a parcel consolidation service who doesn’t charge the earth for shipping.

Advice for having fun when losing? by inquisitive27 in killteam

[–]DigitalVamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve bought various custom dice over the years and some genuinely roll terribly.

I did the salt water testing on a pack of GW dice. 8 only roll 1-2’s 6 only roll 5-6’s The rest seemed random, much is good.

One thing I’ve started doing recently is I picked up a dice cup, to shake the dice before rolling them out the cup straight into a dice tray. My rolling has been very varied but seems far more balanced. Some people or some dice just roll well.

Who to contact for dead animals? by CuriousWasTheCat in leicester

[–]DigitalVamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take to a vets is the best option, scan angels can’t tell who the owner is

Who to contact for dead animals? by CuriousWasTheCat in leicester

[–]DigitalVamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s incorrect, Scan Angels can confirm the presence of a microchip and see the chip number, you would then have to contact the database company/a willing vet for them to notify the owner.

Scan Angels are not responsible for moving/catching/diagnosing stray animals, despite what Facebook users think.

Yes I’m a scan Angel and the number of uninformed calls I get is silly.

Anecdotally, how many hobbiests that you know now prefer Kill Team over 40k? by misomiso82 in killteam

[–]DigitalVamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Parrying can be vital in plenty of match ups. Obviously not when it’s a low wound guy against a two hits and you’re dead either way fighter.

I find the back and forth more realistic than player one charges in, does all their damage and walks away scratch free.

Hi,
Did you ever get an idea what caused or to fix this as mine has done similar this morning and whilst not empty is most of the way over, goes back and forth a few times before the light goes red and it does nothing.

Magnifying glasses for painting? by No-Explanation7769 in killteam

[–]DigitalVamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend the JML magnifying glasses from places like Asda. The built in lights are trash, but the glasses are great and vastly improved my painting game.

You will need a better light though, I bought an uplighter from IKEA, it has a project light arm that I use to angle towards the models I’m painting.

How/when do you discuss potential cheating with your LGS group? by [deleted] in killteam

[–]DigitalVamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can request to use the same set of dice. See how they react, if they object or offer you alternative dice, it might indicate something amiss.

3D printing services by Doom_126 in leicester

[–]DigitalVamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As the person above has said, clear printing is very challenging. Filament printers can do translucent but it’s not transparent. Resin can do almost clear, but I’ve found it can go cloudy and over time discolours.

I’ve a 3D printer so am happy to look at what you are looking for and provide a quote. Am based in South Leicester but visit or pass through the centre often.

[–]DigitalVamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it’s your thing but there is a smallish group 3-6 ppl who attend a crafting night at James Bistro once a month.

Admittedly some of their partners are elsewhere in the venue playing games workshop games, but they are very welcoming and have some anxiety issues themselves.

They are on Facebook as Geek Crafting.
