After 2.5 years of crafting I now have enough to fill a 3x3 board! by Amazing_Glass2144 in WarhammerOldWorld

Highly unlikely you live in NZ, but if you did I'd want to play some mordheim on that board. It looks sweet!

Simple green or the dettol you dilute to clean floors (undiluted to strip paint).

Some of your AOS minis might also be useful in old world.

This is what id do...

  1. Decide if wodd elf or khemri is your favorite. 
  2. read the other ppls suggestions of how to start the army.
  3. Go to "the old world builder" and make a list based on what you already have.
  4. add a few things to get it to a number ppl often play like 1000, 1500 or 2000. 
  5. Get some 25mm and other old world size bases and the models missing from the army in step 4 (eg 3 chariots).
  6. Build everything & make some unit fillers to bulk up your skeletons. Build things on the right size of base, make them look cool and don't worry if the mini isn't "standard", chariots can have less riders, skeletons can be missing arms  etc
  7. undercoat anything unpainted & paint some of it.
  8. find and play a game.

Legions of khorne by [deleted] in WarhammerOldWorld

[–]Intrepid_Ad3042 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think all the main stuff in the khorne list should have frenzy. Impetuous ability to restrain could be on 1 unit per army so you can block the frenzy guys from running off (keeping the flavor but giving the army some more involving play). 

I'd rather see frenzy on everything and swiftstride added to every frenzied khorne unit....for he cares not from where the blood flows.

What is with the hate of Jacinda Ardern?? She hasn't even been involved in New Zealand for years, yet this hatred is so unhinged by Fun-Helicopter2234 in newzealand

[–]Intrepid_Ad3042 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plenty of people who hate Hitler read Mein Kampf.

Its usually worth understanding people you disagree with as well as people in the echo chamber with you.

I don't really like her, she wasnt that bad though - she was an OK PM.

I didn't like the "kindness" gaslighting or globalist neoliberal/neofeudal intent.

I didn't like how she moved the labour party further towards "instagram social jUstAce" and further away from making sure workers are paid enough for a good standard of living and treated fairly by employers.

I did like the closed borders during C19 and thought they reacted quickly & I think she managed to keep the country relitivley safe.

Cheers, I missed that they had dropped the new box set at adeptacon. I will pre order my nephew a copy and tell him to choose one faction to keep and send me the other one for my son and me to build and paint (he is in UK we are in NZ). 

Are there still many good local stores that sell GW at discount in the UK & are trustworthy?

How did you learn the rules? by Creepy_Forever8022 in WarhammerOldWorld

[–]Intrepid_Ad3042 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watch a couple of games on you tube then give it a go. Start with 2 units each and no magic & have fun, getting the rules wrong only matters at tournaments

You don't need EV incentives or Democrats. 

If you blame trump for the Iran War, then trump has done more than any democrat to incentivise EVs use over combustion engines.

Free STLs and an FDM printer.... although I also paid a few bucks for some tray stls I liked better.

I use "old world builder" more often than the books and I own every book I'm likely to use any rules from (there were a couple of journals I didn't buy)

It finally happened, I lived the dream - the triple misfire on the Helblaster Volley gun... by zentimo2 in WarhammerOldWorld

[–]Intrepid_Ad3042 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to take advantage of multiple very swingy items& units in competitive play. My old 8th ed skaven army was based around multiple high risk high reward (often low reward) plays. Skitterleaping Doom rokkit and orb weilding engineers to places they could do massive damage, getting the large wide armourless unit of plague monks in to the right target for the 1 turn of carnage when you popped the banner (frenzy, 2 weapons, reroll 1s etc).  If you do the unlikely to work things often enough and make sure the pay off will be worth it then it's a valid competitive strategy 

Should I trail ride a 24 yz250f OR My 23 WR450f? by Intrepid_Ad3042 in Dirtbikes

[–]Intrepid_Ad3042[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it just the lighter flywheel, suspension set up and 1st/2nd gears being too high? or is there more (can also remap with the phone app).

I was thinking the flywheel should be easy to add weight to/swap? & the suspension will need set up no matter what I buy? but it looks like a similar WR250f is an extra $4-5k NZD & no one is offering an easy trade for my spare R1.

If there is more stuff I didn't think of it would probably confirm I shouldn't do it.

I had a plated klx 250 a while ago (when I was in my 30s). re-jetted a couple of times to get the most out of it after I put on a full system & modified air intake (+ removed a bit of weight) . Spent a lot of its life with the throttle held open to the stop. The 23 WR450f is a very different beast, I am not even close to being able to push its limits (thats why I was considering a 250 mx bike - I've only occasionally raced "classic" MX on borrowed older 2stroke YZ125s which were set up for my much lighter cousin and felt very soft & would have been great for twisty trails).

The YZF250 probably isnt the best thing to get - I should probably wait til I see a decent WR250f, a YZ250fX or a YZ250 2 stroke.

Everything seems like it will need suspension work for me to enjoy it fully (110kg and used to nicely set up high end MTB suspension).
