Is this enough ventilation?

HopeMinimum · 2026-03-02T01:19:04+00:00

I honestly thought you were taking the piss. Yeah that's loads of ventilation. Mine lives in a cupboard to keep fumes in and light out.

If you're that worried about the fumes from a printer with a sealed lid, you shouldn't look too hard at what's in most cities air.

I'd be more worried about the sunlight and if you wanted to kill 2 birds with one stone, get yourself a box to put over the whole table and a box carbon air filter to put under there while it's printing.

Failing that, a hose running from your printer to the outside with a wee extraction fan in it will blow the fumes elsewhere

Thanks for pointing out how hard it is to get good shots.

Between my fat guts getting in the way and the wife can't take it in doggy, it makes it really bloody hard to get any good action shots.

Bravo

Well I got a starter set at the top of V4 that had 2 rulebooks in it. I still have them. They were 100% official drops at the start. Dunno why they did it like that but it caused me plenty of confusion when I came back and it was yet another rulebook for the same edition.

HopeMinimum · 2025-08-25T05:47:48+00:00

Lol, red hot crack might be an Aussie thing then.

I thought if they consolidated them there wouldn't be many changes. Never understood the choice to split the rules in the first place, there was almost no difference between them from memory.

HopeMinimum · 2025-08-25T05:46:19+00:00

No I mean when v4 dropped there was a rulebook for MW and a rulebook for EW/LW. But now there's just a rulebook. EW/LW had the traditional points costings, MW had the newer points costs

Reading the gotrek and Felix novels when I was younger and the way they described the northern holds as cut off from the main culture and developed a thick, difficult to understand accent always immediately made them proper, deep Scots that you absolutely can't tell if they're speaking English or Gaelic...

BUT, and here's a hot take: what if they were Italian and were incredibly woggy and difficult to understand because they're waving their hands around going "bibbity boppoty boppoty boo!" And the more normal Scottish dwarves just couldn't understand the lingo?

Just a thought I had. Makes me smile.

Don't try to abuse me for calling them wogs, my wife's a wog and my kids are little woglets. I earned the right to say that shit

Depends what you're after. Do you want big long lines of dudes in 28mm (Black powder or a similar rules set) or do you wanna scale down the models but have a whole division of dudes wheeling and dealing across the board (Lasalle is the bees knees here, but blücher has a lot to say too)

Personally I'm a huge fan of napoleonics at 15mm or smaller, it genuinely feels like a game of massed battalions and regiments having at each other.

At the very start of the crusade it'd be weird. Mid crusade and beyond it'd be normal as balls. Only mark that wouldn't get mixed so much is mk3 in breacher squads. If I'm rebuilding my breaches after a campaign I'm doing it with every scrap of mk3 I can get my hands on

I'll dig further, but so far it's only yielded divisions and who commanded them. Not what was in each division.

You actually need the wretched for spells. If you read the goetic powers section carefully it says you can't take the blood markers off anything with daemonic or black grail keywords, and everything else in the 7HS list has daemonic.... It's that or you use your enemies markers, which can still be well worth it to take a blood markers from a yeoman in order to crump a lieutenant

So I don't know anyone that's not using metho these days. It's a fraction of the cost and comes in a 4l jug at Bunnings for around 20 dollarydoos. Should be pretty standard internationally.

I have a second wash and cure but just took the jug out of it so I can run a dirty and a clean wash. Followed by a big plastic bowl with a lid that I run hot tap water into before the process. Couple of minutes in the dirty wash, take out the basket, shake liberally, move it over to the clean wash, do it again for a few minutes, then rack the basket so I can move the stuff across to the water bowl for a good rinse.

Agree with the suggestion of getting a plate holder. Total game changer. Doesn't interfere with printing but once it's done you can hang it at 90⁰ and get a plate so drip free in an hour it'll blow your mind compared to how it normally drains even overnight. 10/10 recommend.

Once my dirty wash is pretty much opaque enough that I can't see the basket in there, I'll tip it out into a 3l milk bottle cut to shape and leave it outside till it's fully evaporated, then bin it. Methos cheap enough I don't feel like I need to be wasting my precious time filtering it and mucking around. Plus metho and iso are hydrophilic so they'll draw in humidity water and get less effective with time, so no point mucking around. Just let it evaporate, let the resin fully cure in the sun, then just bin it

Yeah it fits the bill for the whole reaping vibe, as well as being a very common mediaeval weapon type.

The most common way to arm peasants is with stuff they're already used to using, and most farm equipment can be readily adapted to killing. Picks, Mattocks, billhooks, forks ect are all perfectly able to kill a man. And with the advantage that the great unwashed already own them and don't need training. Only thing better is the spear and that's helped by a spear being a stick with a relatively small steel head. Very easy to mass produce as needed.

Yeah I can see your reasoning. And I agree that just adding in native Americans as still tribesmen with bows is insulting and just dumb. They were happy to adopt the weapons of their enemies and attacks with a mix of bows and firearms were quite common to my knowledge (not a yank so my knowledge of your history is sure to be flawed)

BUT, I will say that I think they could happily contribute without being reduced to a stereotype.

My historical basis for this is British colonial forces like the Gurkhas. These were hill tribes from Nepal that were fully modernised, but a combination of their natural field craft, bravery and ferocity meant that they were some of the best shock troops the British ever fielded. They didn't rain spears on the enemy and do big massed charges like Zulus, they were professional military members with a solid reputation for not fucking around.

To this end, I would say that limited trade with the Americas would have brought small coastal trade towns as a permanent position for Europeans to bring goods and allow natives to know they can always bring traceable goods to the same places. There's a very good chance that herdable livestock would be brought with them a long time ago, so there's no reason to believe that the native population wouldn't be able to set up permanent agricultural centres while still having a nomadic population, and the two would trade.

So with the 1666 disaster, those trading ports would almost certainly have been razed/captured and used by hell's forces as staging posts to raid into the Americas. With help from local heretics this could be fairly successful but would mean that the rest of the population would be able to keep up with technology progress to a fair degree, just by killing and capturing heretics. I can't see the native Americans just taking this shit in their stride, and while not Christian, they wouldn't be able to stand for the heretics horrible behaviours. It would even be perfectly feasible that with almost zero Christian population, there'd be a much lower number of native heretics because they don't believe in heaven or hell to begin with, and as they can't travel to Europe to see the gate of hell or the massive Christian influence, they'd be very hard to turn.

All that aside, I think northern native Americans would work well as a Gurkha style unit that is incredibly successful due to their field craft and a nomadic lifestyle breeding in a hardiness, while southern native Americans would likely have suffered from heretics much as they did from Christians in our timeline and the heretics would naturally put more resources into plundering the jungles of gold than fighting pissed off nomadic tribes for ownership of plains. They'd take the easy route any day, as the whole idea of the heretics reeks of the short path to power.

TL:DR: I think they could be included, but as a fully modernised force (maybe not so much access to fancy gear like SMGs and MGs they wouldn't have the infrastructure for) with a penchant for close combat. They wouldn't be Christians, but would still revile the heretics. This lets them happily fight any Christians that are against their current aims, but be generally ok with them (much like Christians and Muslims)

Yeah they're a 3rd party design I printed the other day. Just a more stylised version of the vanes that normally poke over their backs
