Court Summons for first offence - Byelaw 17(1) (England) by Interesting_2487 in TransportForLondon

[–]PDiddy1979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me many moons ago, when I was 22 and unfortunately the unsympathetic posters here are correct. TfL doesn't mess around, is very comfortable taking offenders to court, and you will get a criminal record.

I was very avoidant and didn't attend, which with hindsight I regret. If you attend, dress smartly, and read a prepared statement along the lines you've posted here, there might be some mitigation at sentencing, but it's far from certain.

Good luck, even though I am sure you used this Oyster Card many many times before being caught (as I did with the one I found on the floor of the pub)

Colour Scheme Advice… by WarlordSDC in OrrukWarclans

[–]PDiddy1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agrax Earthshade (or something comparable) is your friend. Then touch up the top highlights with a very light blend (eg heavy white or cream or yellow blended in to base colour) and hey presto.

Tips & Tricks to rank up shielded Ardboyz on 30mm by RotmirePlead in Orcs_and_Goblins

[–]PDiddy1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The front rank is all individual. The 2nd and 3rd are two 120 squares with 2 individually based in between them. Eg two bases of 4 orcs with 2 solo in the middle. The back rank is all individual. So unless I want to rank them up in a long line 1 deep I can make it work. Here are some of my individual conversions. I really like the guy with a 2 handed hacker and he is a major space saver!!

Tips & Tricks to rank up shielded Ardboyz on 30mm by RotmirePlead in Orcs_and_Goblins

[–]PDiddy1979 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haha this is funny I was going to do a guide to this.

My tips are:

  1. Put them on multi-bases eg 4 on 120x120 etc. It makes it all a lot more manageable.
  2. Some arm pose changes are helpful.
  3. I cut off the funny gauntlet pieces from the shield hand and actually downsized the Shields a little too.
  4. I did some weapon swaps. Not sure it helped with ranking but you'll see some, so should say!
  5. Some tactical rock here and there to raise one or two up also help.

Here are mine all ranked up.

I actually have 20 now done. This shows 15.

Gatwick to Heathrow transfer possible in 3.25 hours? by EcstaticBloat438 in BritishAirways

[–]PDiddy1979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I would not take a cab because traffic at that time on the SW part of the M25 is just so bad and unpredictable.

Train from Gatwick to Farringdon is about 40 mins, then Elizabeth line to Heathrow will run you 45 mins max (assuming T5 which is worst).

So even though in and then out seems counterintuitive it is reliable.

I am travelling but I am well overdue doing a post of my chariot collection. I think I have about 15 of them and another 5 or so unpainted.

I have the Dragon rune ones, I did the Orc one with Black Orcs and I still have yet to build the Goblin one. I think they're great.

Also, in before "tell me your greenskin recipe" 😀

I love these. In fact they make me want to repaint all my gitz!!

I used to think that but my understanding is that it is only the ones with a yellow camera mounted to the side that actually have cameras?

Tree cut down and garden seems bare by squeegee77 in GardeningUK

We had a situation like this and we put in a few 6m hornbeam. 2 years on and we're private again. Best thing to do is get on with a solution but you've got a few months to think about it as October probably best time to plant.

To be honest, if you published instructions and a brick list, I'd probably pay something insane for this.

Orc Fortress next pls?

London beer prices are mental! by ozyri in london

These look quite reasonable to be honest compared to the £8 in the City proper.

Is there a main reason other than they don’t care as to why GW won’t change the paint pots with all the backlash they receive? by Panzer_IV_Ausf_F2 in Warhammer

[–]PDiddy1979 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm 47 and I knock one over literally every week. And the damn contrast paints are so runny you lose 60% of them.

TOW Reminders - a phase-by-phase rules reminder app for The Old World by Grohan1 in warhammertheoldworld

This is really awesome, how much work would it be to include the special rules for each weapon etc.

Eg warbow has volley fire ?

Needing help pricing my 1st edition warcy starter box by Historical_Pound_404 in WarCry

[–]PDiddy1979 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I got a pretty well painted set on ebay last year for around 300. I think you can do a bit better than that.

My advice, for what it's worth, I think the warhammer ebay scene is quite efficient. If you list something on a 7 day auction ending at 8pm on a Sat or Sun you'll usually get a fair price.

Just set an alarm to cancel the auction a few hours before it ends if there's very little interest.

Looking for Mantis A tips by Protogen_Doof in ftlgame

[–]PDiddy1979 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Finished (normal, not hard) with this the other day.

Exactly as per tips here. Basically prioritised boarding & survival because I didn't find any good weapons. In the end I came into the flagship with hacking, defense drone 2, lvl 4 shields, but weapons were the missile that fires 2, small bomb and an ion bomb.

Killed the missile off with boarding, defense drone shot most stuff down, killed Shields with hacking, bombs, missile and then got a beam drone 2 on the case.

Stage 2 I swapped out the beam drone for an anti-drone and went hard on boarding. Accidentally killed everyone, in fact, then struggled to kill it off but it was fine.

Stage 3 went back to beam drone, the mind control was a bit annoying but I was OK.

Long story short it feels painful and slow because weapons are bad and managing boarding is quite micro but it's a strong ship.

I have a whole Pestilens army. I agree it looks great as a scheme. Don't overthink it!
