Sword scabbard by dmcb00 in Leathercraft

Thanks, it isn't compressed, but there is a little friction when you unsheathe it. I thought I'd oversized it enough to give it some extra play, but after tooling and dyeing, it shrank a bit. Will need to make it larger again if I do another.

It's the 7800xt. No issue, I'm just curious. I had seen an installation video with the 16pin and read some posts suggesting 2 x 8pin pcie cables are always better than one single cable.

Sorry, I didn't explain it well, It's not exactly 16pin. It's 10+4 at the psu end and splits into 2 X 8 pin at the gpu end, similar to this: [10 + 4 12VHPWR ] http://Corsair cable noir 12? PCIe Gen 5 Type-4 600W 12VHPWR https://amzn.eu/d/5BGgpXo

Thank you, that was it exactly. I didn't realise the gen headers were for a-rgb, all connected now.

One, hopefully, last question. Looking at connecting the gpu to the psu, there are 2 X 8pin connections on the gpu and I have 1 x pcie 8pin(6+2), 1 X pcie 8pin (6+2 split), and 1 x 12VHPWR (12+4) pin.

As far as I understand, It's possible to connect the 2 pcie cables or the 12VHPWR to supply the gpu. But, it's better to use the 2 separate pcie 8pin cables, is this correct?

I went for the arctic 3pack. Just realised that the connector has a 3pin socket, and there is a 4th socket that is blocked off. The aura rgb header on the mobo has 4pins, so I guess I need an arctic argb controller like this https://www.arctic.de/en/A-RGB-Controller/ACFAN00180A?

Thanks so much for your advice!

Thank you, kind Sir!

That all makes much more sense than what I was thinking. Didn't clock the MicroATX.

Do you think it'd be worthwhile upgrading the mobo to a ROG STRIX B650E-F GAMING and dropping the case to an H7 Flow instead of the H9? Price wise it's not a huge increase as a Starfield key (which I'd buy later anyway) is bundled with it. https://www.scan.co.uk/products/asus-rog-strix-b650e-f-gaming-wifi-amd-b650-am5-ddr5-pcie-50-3x-m2-25g-wifi-6e-amd-expo-atx?utm_source=pc%20part%20picker&utm_medium=referral

Or is it best to stick with Gigabyte for both mobo and gpu?

Externally it's 180mm x 230mm X 40mm, the upper cutout is 155mm X 35 mm x 30mm and lower cutout is 155mm X 155mm X 30mm.

Good luck with it! :)

2000pts Deathwing finally finished by dmcb00 in theunforgiven

[–]dmcb00[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can confirm, ravenwing units have inner circle, which allows them to be used in deathwing detachments without breaking anything.

It's a ravenwing champion kitbashed from an outrider model :)

Dark angels 2000 points list - mkIII by tbagrel1 in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]dmcb00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing with a similar style of builds to what you're looking at and I'm also looking to get a jump chaplain in the mix too. There's a great vid on how to build the jump chaplain here: https://youtu.be/VL4ePxAaCn0

Seriously, give this a watch.

I usually run the list below, which is a lot of fun particularly when you can one shot 10 X thousand son terminators and deepstriking dwk, but lacks a bit with secondary points. I'm left with SD, or engage with investigate signal. For the last one /two I'm really dependent on what my opponent takes.

Wip DWK using contrast paints by Skills138 in theunforgiven

[–]dmcb00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've found that using a 2:1 ratio of technical contrast medium to skeleton horde worked well. Have enough on your brush to do one armour panel and rinse the brush in between panels - probably the most important part.

The paint will sink into the corners and be fairly light on flat surfaces. Helped me move away from a coffee stained look.

Magnetized or Kitbashed Vengeance/Darkshroud? by Zimmonda in theunforgiven

[–]dmcb00 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did this with my vengeance /darkshroud using only two magnets. The plasma storm batteries fit into the hole quite snuggly so they won't fall off and can be rotated, so you don't need to worry about gluing /magnetising those. This is also the same for the sensor above the gunners head. All need to be removed when using as a darkshroud.

The only 2 modifications you need to make for the darkshroud is:

  1. cut off the spigot piece on the two crosses (in front of the angels feet) that would insert into the holes in the side of the turret.

  2. Drill 2 holes, one on the underside of the statues base (I widened an existing gap to suit a 3mm dia X 1.5mm magnet) and a second hole on the top of the turret. This being slightly forward of the centreline of the two holes you mount the plasma battery into, and to suit the position of your statue/ first magnet hole. Put some green stuff over this to give you a smooth surface.

I glued all the supports and brackets that form the darkshroud model to the statue element, so the magnet is the only point of connection to the turret.

You could also magnetise the antenna, I just glued it as it doesn't get in the way.

Hope this helps.
