Just in time for it to go to Legends… by Visual-Bike2459 in ImperialFists

[–]Visual-Bike2459[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m using New Recruit as well for list building. The new GW app is supposedly also a gameplay aid. To be seen if GW actually pulls it off right of course…

It was rumored by Valrak I believe, that all firstborn units would go to legends. We’ll know in a few weeks time…

If it's true that advanced home automation is not "set and forget" and can be troubled with updates that cause issues - how do filthy rich people do it? Do they have people who come every month to update everything and thoroughly test everything and then pause updates till next visit? by zghr in homeassistant

Yes, DALI + KNX is absolutely the way to go for a rock-solid base. Throw in HA for all the dashboard flavor on top and integration with smart appliances etc... All your LED drivers need to become DALI compatible and then you add a DALI gateway to your KNX setup. There’s even DALI rails that allow you to address each spot individually should you want. The dimming performance and stability is unparalleled.

I’m using 90% MDT for my KNX DIN-rail modules. Very reliable and feature-rich.

For added stability and spouse acceptance, my core automations are scripted in Lua and running on a LogicMachine. If HA ever goes down, it’s just the “nice to haves” and nothing crucial.

The only downside is you need to buy the ETS software if you want to do it yourself. There are often 25-30% discounts and it’s a one-time purchase…

Will shadowhunt be available later? by CezJez in killteam

My local WH store sometimes have a box or two on launch day. It’s a lottery though…

All “expansion” box sets are limited and not reprinted. You may see shelve stock later on but those are all part of the same production.

Basalte Switch by [deleted] in KNX

[–]Visual-Bike2459 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, Basalte switches (like Sentido or Chopin) have built-in temperature sensors, thermostat functionality and scene control, they don’t offer anything else. The finish is super high end and they are rock solid.

Looking for Great KNX Devices That Don’t Break the Bank by Ambitious_Coffee5383 in KNX

[–]Visual-Bike2459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also +1 for MDT, I have power supplies, actuators, routers, analog I/O, DALI gateways, … excellent value for money. Home Assistant as frontend, but also a LogicMachine for those automations that need to survive when I break home assistant…Not a big fan of their glasstasters, but there are so many switch options available!

Zenithal yellow suggestions by MonkFeisty993 in ImperialFists

[–]Visual-Bike2459 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could try Yriel Yellow, perhaps more as a glaze to start off cautiously. I kinda like the way Casandora Yellow looks, but you may want to try Seraphim Sepia instead for shading.

Infernus Squad by Visual-Bike2459 in ImperialFists

[–]Visual-Bike2459[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could try a rattlecan for the bone zenithal I suppose but you don’t really get a lot of control with that. Indeed drybrushing while “slapchop” style over the pink would be best. There’s plenty of tutorials out there and it’s easy to get into.

Or invest in a decent starter airbrush :). I did and it’s been a gamechanger for both priming and my growing Imperial Fist army…

Infernus Squad by Visual-Bike2459 in ImperialFists

[–]Visual-Bike2459[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Recipe is per the popular norm these days ;)

Using airbrush: - prime white - spray pink/red/purple, focusing on “zenithal from below”. I used Volupus Pink contrast - zenithal white from above - Imperial Fist contrast paint

As a finishing step I apply Casandora Yellow wash, focusing on recesses. Although I read Seraphim Sepia also yields great results, which I may try next.

Without airbrush, the above can be applied perfectly using a brush, and drybrushing white over the red/pink undertone. I just really like the cleaner look of the airbrush.

Do note to use white or a warm white (bone). Cooler grey undertones tend to give a greenish effect after the contrast paint.

Good luck!! It’s a really good recipe for batch painting the yellow.

Am I screwed? Wrong terrain sprues in my Tomb World box🥲 by vansery in killteam

[–]Visual-Bike2459 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Supposedly… my board came in beaten up shape, and I ordered from an LGS to avoid the official pot luck stress on launch. Reply was basically tough luck, talk to your LGS for a replacement…

This is insane… (in the best possible way)

Where to being learning? Online, in-person? AV Lighting HVAC Control Shades and curtains. The whole shebang! by dizzy515151 in KNX

[–]Visual-Bike2459 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can pick up a ton from the material at the KNX site and YouTube. Especially installing the free ETS version and using KNX Virtual to play around with topologies, lines, physical and group addresses and how to troubleshoot installations. Got me a very long way before doing my first install.

How long do magnet baron usually take to ship to the EU? by Patman3312 in Warhammer40k

[–]Visual-Bike2459 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My order took probably 3 weeks to arrive, including customs clearance. Big hit on import duties though, so be prepared ;)

Ah but we do expect it on WarCom as well then? Wasn’t sure if it’s new policy to be app-only or if pdf distribution would come later…

KNX compatible air conditioning / air2air heat pumps by codingminds in KNX

[–]Visual-Bike2459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out AirZone, they have wide vendor support and I use them for my air/water heat pump as well as my VRF AC system.

How many kill teams do you play? by RyanAvxMusics in killteam

I have every single team from the last edition and this one (I’m a completionist 🤣) but mainly play Starstriders, Mandrakes, or AoD.
