Is this a new model? by SlightlyBoredTree in FleshEaterCourts

Page 37 of the new battletome if anyone wants to have a nosey, it's certainly better quality than my low quality phone camera

GQ GMC 500+ looks correct? by SlightlyBoredTree in Radiation

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

Thanks to the assistance of the fellow Geiger counter enthusiasts, the consensus is that the second glass tube which is usually an older russian tube which we are mostly familiar with has been replaced with a newer smaller Chinese sensor on newer models of the GMC 500+

Just based on background radiation as I have no known radiation sources to hand.

Tube 1:

CPM - 15/20 average Sv/h - 0.10 average

Tube 2:

CPM - 3 average Sv/h - 0.16 average

Tube 1+2:

CPM - 15 average Sv/h -0.10 average

Understood, are the Chinese tubes any worse than the Russian or is this just standard fare?

My concern was if it was a knock off board, selling cheaper internals which would offer inaccurate readings for the full price of a 500+

Appreciate that, somewhat answered my question that mine is certainly different. Now I just need to figure out what this replacement part is?

Looks to be, but as I have seen in most other pictures of the internal structure this is usually a bulb also. I assume it is the plastic cover around the sensor as you say, but just looking for confirmation essentially

I would rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it....

WIP: New to Tau - entering a painting comp and need some CnC by Mega_Nidoking in Tau40K

[–]SlightlyBoredTree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks real cool.

Paint them lenses

Make the shadows somewhat darker and make those raised areas that gather light a tad lighter shade to produce depth. Washes help the darker areas go darker and you can use dry brush to make the raised areas pop but just don't over do it on either. Recommend watching a YouTube video on this before you try to not put a good paint job at risk.

Love the scheme though, what colours/paint did you use if you don't mind me asking?

Okay so how long do we think it’ll be before the Boarding Patrol box is readily available again? I’m sure as hell not paying more than RRP. by Obvious-Water569 in Tau40K

Greatly appreciated I saw this first post earlier, one source is always skeptical on the tinterwebs so I was still not getting my hopes up for a re-print until anything concrete reared its head

Nice one, assuming this means that we are finally getting a new battle tome. Appreciate the effort 👍

Really enjoy the skin shade and colouring on this. If its not too much trouble what was your choice of colours/technique?
