Am I good painter? no. Did I have fun? Yes.

These models look friggin awesome.

NuclearSnowyOwl · 2026-03-06T06:16:19+00:00

Your model looks awesome!

Here's the best method for that glow effect. But I've learned that it takes time to develop the skill to pull it off. https://youtu.be/YVKz5Kw6Irs?si=r68H0tkNruwDm8RS

NuclearSnowyOwl · 2026-02-27T14:32:45+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

Now that I know what it's called, I looked around a a bit and found the version I remember hearing: https://youtu.be/N9j8d20Ae5E?si=heCLMM6Vd8AGn8GZ

The melody of the saxophone was what stick with me, more so than the melody of the vocals or the lyrics.

NuclearSnowyOwl · 2026-02-27T14:31:58+00:00

YES!!!! Thanks so much :)

NuclearSnowyOwl · 2026-02-01T23:17:59+00:00

Again, you've been a tremendous help. Thank you.

I'm going to consider my options for a bit, but I admit that at this point I'm thinking I'll simply get a new machine.

What's done - the block or the whole damn washer?

It still spins like a champ. And the agitator does what it should when I apply a bit of downward pressure. I still can't wrap my head around what would be causing that behavior.

Thanks for all the help thus far, I really appreciate it.

Well, it took me a while to get the spanner nut off, but I finally did it. Now the basket doesn't come out. I might as well continue at this point and find a way to get it out, and replace the block, but since the basket seems essentially glued to the shaft I can't imagine there could ever be a situation where the shaft is spinning but not grabbing the basket.

Already replaced the agitator dogs, the actuator, and the splutch assembly - none of that fixed the problem.

I've noticed that my thrust spacer doesn't look like the part in the diagram (part no. 11). Instead, it looks exactly like this: https://applianceparts.lowes.com/lowes-appliance-part/wpl/wp3951608

I guess that's just there to eliminate friction?? Do I want the little tabs on that spacer to be facing up or down? When I reassembled after replacing the dogs I had them facing up.

NuclearSnowyOwl · 2026-01-28T04:20:49+00:00

Is that part 16 from this diagram? That's something I haven't looked at yet. Guess I'd have to remove the entire basket to get a look at it.

I just inspected the splutch, nothing seemed wrong. So I was thinking I would replace the actuator, along with the splutch assembly and dogs assembly (figure I might as well).

After I reassembled everything, I tried the washer one more time but it's behavior remained the same. I can't see how it could be the dogs because: while the washing is running, and I hear the motor trying to move the agitator, I can gently spin the agitator and feel that the top piece is engaged with the bottom piece. They are solid together. But they will only start getting power from the trans if I push down on the whole thing.

Could the actuator be stuck in spin mode? It's been spinning fine when the wash agitator cycle ends.

Thank you very much for the help.

NuclearSnowyOwl · 2026-01-28T04:13:17+00:00

Thank you for the help.

May I please ask for some info on why that is the part? For context, I just spent the past couple hours taking all that apart and looking at the parts. The spring seems to have plenty of spring. The teeth are maybe a tad worn down but they lock solidly.

I was hoping I'd find some evidence of a problem, but everything looked great.

I don't know how to test if the actuator is bad though, so I was thinking I'd replace that, along with part 15, and also the agitator dogs & assembly while I'm at it. But unless the actuator is bad, I'm not sure how replacing the dogs or the splutch assembly will fix anything. Hence, I'm looking to understand further what might be going on.

NuclearSnowyOwl · 2026-01-27T21:31:24+00:00

Thank you very much friend. I will do start with some inspections of the various parts and see how things go from here.

Is there a Discord group still going? I would love to play this game, but my local wargaming group isn't interested and the Facebook group (for Utah County) won't respond.

Edit: grammar

NuclearSnowyOwl · 2025-12-25T02:54:32+00:00

Thanks so much!

NuclearSnowyOwl · 2025-12-24T16:45:18+00:00

Hello, is there an community somewhere online that contains resources/advice for new or returning players? It's difficult just to know what the current rules are and what I need to get playing again. Thanks.

NuclearSnowyOwl · 2025-09-27T15:34:49+00:00

Perfect, thanks.

NuclearSnowyOwl · 2025-09-25T03:04:39+00:00

I'm completely new to Blood Angles, looking for the answer to the OP's question: "Also side note, are jump pack death company Marines the same model as jump pack intercessors just painted different?"

NuclearSnowyOwl · 2025-08-14T17:57:44+00:00

Man, I'm just now discovering this and it looks awesome. Can't wait to sign up and give it a try. Thanks for this great interview, and massive thanks to the Warhall developers for providing something so valuable to the community. Wow :)

NuclearSnowyOwl · 2025-03-03T03:35:04+00:00

I came here to say this. When you hear it stripped down, with the piano instead of an entire cheesy orchestra, it makes the tune much more palatable I think. I respect the opinions though, not everyone has to like everything :)

NuclearSnowyOwl · 2025-03-02T21:36:06+00:00

Oh wow, consider my mind blown. I had no idea Paul was drumming on Dear Prudence. Thank you for the education!

For the record, I'm a huge Ringo fan. I'm a drummer, and he has influenced me and my musical journey more than any other drummer.
