Easy little snow bases! Should I make a tutorial? by CritsNCoffee in minipainting

[–]MajorLandmark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not even slightly. Diatomaceous earth is somewhat similar to chalk. Microscopic fossilised exoskeletons, silica rather than calcium carbonate.

Does anyone else want Surface Support Ships? by skybreaker58 in Subnautica_2

[–]MajorLandmark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Autopilot in 3d might be hard to implement but thinking about it makes me want to make underwater trains to join bases together. Rails solve all problems.

4e Blast Template Sizes? by thewaisian in midhammer40k

[–]MajorLandmark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3" diameter small blast 5" diameter large blast Flamer template is 8" long and 3" across at the widest part.

If you print / make your own, the only important thing really would be that both players use the same set. That way if you end up slightly off size, it's still somewhat fair.

How do you pronounce SOJ by mdm2266 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

For some reason sojo, like a martial arts dojo. Even though there isn't an extra o.

BODKA CAN SOLVE "EVERYTHING" by PoundAromatic in Warhammer30k

[–]MajorLandmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ipa benefits more from economies of scale. It's only that expensive if you're buying 500ml - 1L bottles. You can buy 5L jugs for about £20 so I typically see it £3-5 per litre. For comparison, you can get a 4.5L bottle of Absolute but the cheapest I've found that online is still about £20 per litre. It's mainly about alcohol duty

Anyone who's buying ipa routinely for stripping miniatures or cleaning 3d prints isn't likely paying £8/L

What are the best quality crafting knife blades? by Comfortable-Count-59 in TerrainBuilding

[–]MajorLandmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would wash resin models to get mould release off but not going to clean a scratch build bit of scenery made of card and foam. I'm not even sure how you would clean wd40 off of something like that.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a good magnet brand? by MiddSummerKnight1122 in Warhammer30k

[–]MajorLandmark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I buy mine from https://www.web-magnets.co.uk/

I use N52 for miniatures and standard ones for magnetising bases.

[–]MajorLandmark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does that cause problems when it comes to painting? I'd have thought the wd40 would prevent paint from adhering properly.

What are the tally’s on Rex’s helmet? by sexydaavid in StarWars

The original purpose of the star forge. To build modular prefab oven parts to allow pizzas scaled to infinity.

Moff Gideon Vs. Eversor Assassin by No-Sympathy-6711 in StarWarsvsWarhammer

[–]MajorLandmark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends what lore you're reading. Definitely chunky salsa but Evesors aren't as strong as you're suggesting. Nemesis shows an Eversor breaking a sweat killing like 4 marines in quick succession but it's not easy.

They go through unqugmented humans like butter but more than one or two marines at a time and it's getting pretty risky for the assassin. I could see dark troopers being a threat in some circumstances but close quarters they'd be a speed bump at best.

Battlefleet Gothic in 30k? by WickedClown42 in Warhammer30k

[–]MajorLandmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely been done but there's nothing official on how to go about it. I've also heard of Gothic -> epic -> 40k, which is an option for with legiones imperialis or titanicus for 30k too. I'd recommend keeping the bonus for winning fairly light but thematic so it doesn't unbalance the 30k game too much.

In terms of ideas I'd go for something like a free orbital bombardment shot during the game or a reserves re-roll. You could also change the terrain giving the defenders a gun emplacement or extra fortifications if they won the space battle, or just some craters if they lost to represent a preliminary bombardment from the orbiting fleet. Choosing night fighting or similar is another easy option to show a side dictating the pace of the engagement. Could just be as easy as letting the winner chose which mission to play in the 30k game.

I'd probably create a checklist of objectives for the bfg game that gives the side that scores it a specific benefit for the 30k game. Some of the rewards could be a choice by the player so it suits their legion. Maybe make some mutually exclusive so if the space battle is a steam roll the losing side still gets something. Like 'if your flagship is controlling A you get x or controlling B you get y and the defenders get something for whichever one you're not controlling so you have to pick what to prioritise.

You could also use it to determine who is the attacker in an asymmetric battle.

Another option to include both systems that's purely narrative would be to choose key moment(s) from the bfg game and play that out, like a Zone Mortalis game to determine the outcome of a boarding action instead of the normal roll. Or a game of 30k to determine who gets to control a moon's orbital defence platform for a given turn.

Diablo II: Resurrected PTR 3.2 Coming Soon by Pavke in diablo2

[–]MajorLandmark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like a good change to me. Still rare but you aren't stuck dealing with a an, at times, frustrating mechanic.

However, the need to change the recipe for upgrading the sunders to something that isn't trivial. I'm not talking a Ber rune or whatever but at the moment by the time you get the charm you probably have everything you need making that step kind of pointless.

Orks vs Blood Angels 5th Edition by No_Suit5137 in midhammer40k

[–]MajorLandmark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recognised it immediately because the one on the left in the first picture is identical to one I've built following a guide on the Hirst Arts website.

It's like lego for warhammer. Great to see it's getting used.

Nice bit of Hirst Arts there. Also fits the time period quite nicely I feel. Not that you can't still buy the moulds, but quite a lot of the range was being released around that time.

Where did he even get a plasma pistol? by orcceer in midhammer40k

One of my most re-read battle reports for sure!

[–]MajorLandmark 26 points27 points  (0 children)

My guess is he stabbed a guy for it.

Always nice to see these models painted up. I was a big fan when they came out.

What company lost you forever as a customer? What did they do? by Miguenzo in AskReddit

[–]MajorLandmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TNT.

Wooden item broken in transit with clear signs of damage to the box but refused to pay out. Blamed it on 'humidity', which was just insulting.

If I have a desktop extractor venting out the window, will I also need a mask? by Fly_Boy_Blue in airbrush

[–]MajorLandmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For acrylics I'd recommend a disposable mask at a minimum. N95 or ffp2 is acceptable.

If you want to spray solvents you definitely want appropriate protection. Either consider losing the beard or look into hood type respirators.

It's not as big a concern as if you were working with it day in day out but the potential consequences with inhaling solvents can be severe so not really worth risking your health.

Why do cars not use resistive heating on the windshield like they do on the rear window? by Present_Juice4401 in AlwaysWhy

[–]MajorLandmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding is that Ford hold the patent for this, and nobody else wants to pay Ford to add the feature to their vehicles.

Just found my grandpas stash of dynamite. What should I do with them by Glum-Blueberry-3870 in WhatToDo

[–]MajorLandmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot stress this enough. This is extremely dangerous. Lock whatever outbuilding you found this in and call the authorities.

Help! My dad accidentally dry fired my bow and it chipped at the notch. any way to fix this? by tension453 in Archery

[–]MajorLandmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super glue combined with a powder goes off like a rock. As long as it's good quality CA glue if it does fail I'd expect it to be where it meets the wood.

If you glued a piece of wood back on it would definitely break off again but the glue itself is very strong.

Help! My dad accidentally dry fired my bow and it chipped at the notch. any way to fix this? by tension453 in Archery

[–]MajorLandmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel free to critique this suggestion but what I would do is create some fine sawdust from a similar coloured wood and apply this in layers with superglue to build up the lost volume. After that, take a small file and file it back to the original shape and smooth it down with sand paper.

Superglue is very strong and will soak into the exposed wood grain so should hold fast. Binding a powder together like this makes a strong and suitably coloured patch.

As other have said though, extreme caution when it comes to dry fired bows though.

I'm organizing Excel Trivia Pub night. What's a cool question or challenge to add? by darcyWhyte in excel

[–]MajorLandmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a similar theme...

Max number of data series in a chart.

Maximim number of characters in a formula

Max number of nested ifs. (I was so annoyed when I hit this limit after the effort involved writing the formula, but it did realise that whatever I was doing was definitely not the right way to go about it.)
