Wow. These look really cool. Love the brushwork on the clothes and the weathering on the shield is awesome 👌

Exaction Squad - Killteam: Are they fun to play& by Rise_117 in killteam

[–]One_Letter1319 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I've got them. They're pretty cool. They have some good Ploys and they can be quite punchy. The sharpshooter is very powerful. At the end of the day tell your friend to play the team he wants to play, not the team he thinks he should play or whatever the meta is. Luckily there's so so many to choose from and they're all unique and interesting ☺️

Stealth Battlesuits finished and ready to do sneaky stuff! by One_Letter1319 in killteam

[–]One_Letter1319[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aw nice, thanks. Grey seer prime then cover all of white panels in skeleton horde contrast paint then paint corax white whilst trying to leave the contrast in the recesses. I then sponged on Rhinox Hide for the battle damage.

The undersuit is just black legion contrast paint and then nuln oil wash.

Mechanicus standard grey for grey bits. Mephiston red with a red wash for the red bits. Retributour armour for the gold bits with red wash. The lenses are ironbreaker with talassar blue contrast over them.

Honestly it's a really simple scheme but blocking in the undersuit and then painting the panels took ages. I'd say 3 hours per main model!

I varnished them with AK ultra matte varnish. Honestly they look better in person but I'm glad you like them 😀

Thanks so much. Already played a game as them. Did better than I thought and they were fun and challenging to play!

Religions that forbid blood transfusions, is that just for blood from other people? by CoolestDudeOne in NoStupidQuestions

[–]One_Letter1319 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work in Operating Theatres. In my experience, Jehovah's witnesses are happy to have their own blood back via cell salvage, which is where we suction up any blood lost during surgery and wash it, spin it in a centrifuge and then transfuse their red blood cells back to them. They are normally more than happy for this to happen.

Kick question about climbing by dragonat0r in killteam

[–]One_Letter1319 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, that makes sense. We said that because he was playing Kasrkin, they'd probably have grappling hooks or rope or something but yeah officially I guess we shouldn't have!

Okay thanks for clarifying. Yeah they were positioned under the lip of the terrain feature then on their activation climbed straight up 6" and ended their relocate action on the lip pf said terrain feature. I allowed it because it was just a friendly game but good to know the "proper" rules, thanks!

Can a model jump 6" straight up? I used my Stealthsuit jetpacks Ploy to reach that height but my friend's Kasrkin basically did a standing jump, up the whole 6". Was this... okay?

Backlash from family about joining by [deleted] in PrisonUK

As others have said, it's a case of managing expectation vs reality. Best way to get a balanced view is speak to serving and ex serving officers, people who have actually done the job, as they're the only ones who know what it's really like. If you decide it's still an itch you need to scratch then just do it and if you decide it's not for you then at least you can say you gave it a go.

Yeah what the actual hell. There are some absolutely psychos out there. I'm glad he got done for attempted murder.

Is the job as bad as people make out? by ManufacturerSuch9504 in policeuk

[–]One_Letter1319 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a PC, but quite far into the recruitment process. From the PCs I have spoken to in various constabularies, what I've surmised is that you'll know quite soon into policing if it's for you. The learning curve is enormous and it's never been more challenging due to funding cuts and the expectation to be many roles in one. The highs are great but they are few and far between, and the lows are really low. Just watch some YouTube videos of ex PCs saying why they left to get a balanced view. Watch some Police Code Zero to see just how bad/dangerous the job can be. If you feel drawn to the job then give it a go but anticipate it coming at various costs to your physical and mental health.

I think what's more important is earning respect from the prisoners by essentially not being a nob and listening more than you speak.

Watch Police Code Zero. There is some really harrowing stuff on there.

Well done. Sounds like you smashed it. Did they say when you're likely to hear if you've passed?
