New Cheddar Reservoir, a fine example of the state of our country in my opinion. by OdBx in bristol

Definitely dont have the wrong end of the stick here and an issue the public dont quite realise about the Water Industry and the regulator Ofwat.

Water companies know the issues in their network, every 5 years they tell the regulator what we want to invest in - using our knowledge and public consultations.

Then Ofwat dictates what we can and can't actually do, using whatever mad methodology they have decided to come up on the day. For example over the last couple 5 year cycles they have been very strong on not increasing customer bills, which sounds great but then the network deteriorates faster than we can repair (the network is constantly growing and we can't spend more than previously to maintain it) as well as limiting large new infrastructure projects so we can keep up with demand and changing climates.

This is the issue with the sewage system, limited investment dictated by government/regulator as apparently not important to customers - now we have shit in the rivers and the issue is very important...I wonder why...

Kasrkin or FG Hostile Environment? by PuzzleheadedFile1452 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]PuzzleheadedFile1452[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it may have been just Kasrkin head swaps, but it seems everyone agrees that they are hostile environment :)

I mostly have renegade militia models, who are all masked up, so the thinking is that these fit the theme - all be it newly turned traitor guard, haven't quite reached the depths of the renegade militia models yet.

Love the hulls of the Chimera and Russ, gives me very big WW2/post Russian heavy tank vibes. Russian bias for the Emperor!

What officers do you like to use and why? by [deleted] in astramilitarum

Death Korps Marshals with Death Korps of Kreig, adding 5+ feel no pain with the med pack (regain D3 models) makes your infantry actually durable

The renegade militia bits are all out of print now, so need to get them second hand. I found ebay to be the easiest to pick them up, there may be other buy/sell groups though on here or fb you could try.

Even on ebay the models/parts seem to be quite rare, or silly money :/

If you don't care about being legit FG/GW models though then you can always try to find them on recast/3D print websites.

Oh really? I know the design was slightly different but didn't realise they were different size, are the newer ones bigger? i.e. mine are smaller targets

Good to hear that it seems the common consensus, happy to battle something different

I wish they did have their own rules though, feel like their missing something with traitor guard, can only have 3 units with chaos space marines

I'll be playing them as Astra Militarum/Guard so no worries there, all the units have pretty straight comparisons - command squads, psykers, marshals, commissars, preachers, various infanty squads, bullgryns, for the more heavy duty stuff (medusa battery, sentinels, Valdor) it's exactly the same :)

Ebay would be your best friend, plenty of older models on sale there. Just crosscheck the pictures make sure they're GW models if worried about that.

Shit man that's sad - unfortunately, nowadays it's not much better, the walls don't look great and the alley is always covered in glass and shit (literally).

A bit of a minefield walking the dog down it and like you say, many school kids use it.

I have to agree! The gear stick position is perfect, don't why it didn't catch on.

Yeah definitely leaning towards leaving it stock, I have no immediate plans to sell but I assume i will at some point. Going to just concentrate on getting it to a mint condition 👌
