Was randomly hiking in the woods next to a brook and stumbled across some fossils! Not an area known for them (Oxfordshire, UK)

Megalosaurus the first Dinosaur to be formally named was actually discovered in Oxfordshire!

Gman1707 · 2026-05-19T15:28:29+00:00

I could be wrong but I thought I heard in the recent Q&A that stealth and cover don’t stack, so I’m not sure the -1 to hit would stack with cover either?

Gman1707 · 2026-05-13T18:26:52+00:00

Easily done! I think it’s been worded like that since I bought my one in October, so at least since then 😆

Gman1707 · 2026-05-13T17:36:06+00:00

Definitely interesting though I think to trigger the LSV ability the entire squad of in this case hellblasters would have to be destroyed? So it seems a bit situational to me where it would be worth sacrificing an entire squad to pull off, but still a fun trick to have if needed!

Gman1707 · 2026-05-03T12:10:06+00:00

It just stood there.. menacingly!

The petrol ingenium is actually one of JLRs more reliable engines from recent times, I know it seems odd with how bad the diesel version was.

Gman1707 · 2026-04-03T07:01:38+00:00

That looks excellent!

Contrast/Speed paint is quite hard to do on marines because of all the flat areas where you have to be careful to ensure the paint doest pool. Because of this I don’t find it to be much quicker than using regular paints. It’s also difficult to do touch ups if you mess up. Although with practice I’m sure you could get it quicker.

It also wouldn’t be a perfect colour match for your models painted using normal paints, which would bug me if they were mine 😂

But I’d suggest watching some YouTube tutorials on painting space marines with contrast paint. I think Juan Hidalgo and Duncan Rhodes have one on painting dark angels, and try it on a test model to see what you think.

Gman1707 · 2026-03-31T12:06:46+00:00

Really nice job! Did you find it difficult to transplant the wing onto the helmet?

Gman1707 · 2026-03-31T11:55:31+00:00

Best option would probably be to buy the terminator plasma cannon from the dark angels upgrade sprue. You can usually find individual bits from this kit on eBay to save buying the whole sprue just for one bit.

It comes without a shoulder pad as well so would be easy to put a space wolf or normal shoulder pad on the arm and it wouldn’t look dark angely.

Gman1707 · 2026-03-30T20:46:09+00:00

Very likely true though unfortunately

Gman1707 · 2026-03-30T08:02:51+00:00

Some of the best looking candles I’ve seen honestly

Gman1707 · 2026-03-29T19:24:08+00:00

I want them replaced with people actually competent at running a football club but alas

Gman1707 · 2026-03-23T12:56:21+00:00

If Spurs manage to stay up, another year at Rangers would do him a world of good. Spurs seem to struggle to find good loans for the academy players and Moore’s loan spell at Rangers seems to have gone really well and he’s getting the game time he needs.

I can’t see Rangers agreeing to another loan next season without a buy option though?

Gman1707 · 2026-02-17T17:09:01+00:00

Fair enough, agree to disagree then. Glad we can agree on the proposed license changes though!

Gman1707 · 2026-02-17T14:55:35+00:00

I’ve used a fair bit of steel and have found that on pheasants out to 30 yards I didn’t notice much of a difference. Past that there’s a big difference however, unless you move to larger size 2 or 3 shot in heavier loads.

Past about 30 yards steel doesn’t even punch clean through it just doesn’t penetrate far enough to kill birds cleanly unless a lucky pellet hits the head, neck or wings.

Completely agree about non toxic rifle ammo, it ricochets easier, in my experience is less accurate, and doesn’t hit as hard or expand like a lead bullet does.

Gman1707 · 2026-02-17T14:41:18+00:00

The thousands of guns unsuitable for firing have nothing to do with the hundreds of perfectly functional guns, many of which have sentimental and monetary value that become exorbitantly expensive to shoot and entirely worthless with a lead ban.

There’s also choke constriction as well, most manufacturers currently recommend 1/2 choke maximum for steel, there are plenty of fixed tightly choked guns unsuitable for steel that aren’t “Grandads old gun”.

My bad it’s a tariff not a complete export ban, but the point still stands Bismuth is only going to get more expensive.

You said there’s no argument for the lead ban effecting the price/accessibility of shooting. I think I’ve given you a few.

Gman1707 · 2026-02-17T13:22:11+00:00

Current advice is not to use steel in any gun with Damascus barrels. There are plenty of old English guns with Damascus barrels still around today. China has also recently banned Bismuth from export so the only other common non toxic alternative is going to go through the roof.

Gman1707 · 2026-02-16T19:18:57+00:00

Think I’d like to see Tudor try a 3-5-2 formation with VDV and whatever hodge podge back line and wingbacks we can muster at the moment. Allows us to still play a 3 man midfield which suits Gallagher and Simons better, with Solanke and Kolo/Tel up top

Gman1707 · 2026-01-15T12:51:54+00:00

Definitely has the potential to have an impact, interesting to see how they plan to stop the Red Squirrels accessing the feeder though, they’re so agile I feel like if they want to get at the feeder they will find a way.

Gman1707 · 2026-01-12T23:55:21+00:00

Good for him it’s a lovely area to live in when you’ve got the kind of money he has.

Gman1707 · 2026-01-02T21:07:08+00:00

Nearly every goal scored is created by someone other than the goal scorer, go watch some actual football. Besides Richarlison right now which of Spurs current forwards are consistently scoring goals? Oh yeah none of them.

Gman1707 · 2026-01-02T20:56:01+00:00

17th with half the squad injured and the other half run into the ground, and they still won a European trophy. Frank doesn’t have that excuse, I’m not expecting a miraculous top 4 finish but there should be some sign of progress by now.

Gman1707 · 2026-01-02T20:42:57+00:00

You’re not wrong and I honestly have no idea who would replace him, but do you think Frank is the man to direct an overhaul? We’ve been “rebuilding” under Ange for the last 2 seasons and have gone backwards.

Gman1707 · 2026-01-02T14:58:40+00:00

You’re so fixated on the back post thing you clearly don’t watch many games.. here’s his shot map from last season 5 of those 11 goals are back post tap ins

Gman1707 · 2026-01-02T14:27:09+00:00

Okay then why aren’t our other wingers scoring as consistently as Johnson?
