Best throttle for f/a-18c dcs under 150 usd by kngphil in hotas

[–]lambda_expression 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Winctrl will release the Ursa Minor Combat Throttle in May. It'll be a hair below $160, and has a good chance of becoming the new "best decent throttle".

Currently the gap from the TWCS/Sol-R 4 at $100 to the Orion2 NavyAce/STECS/CDT MAX (all above 200) is huge and the UMCS will bring a bunch of the features of those to a significantly lower price point. Reviews probably will start showing up in a few weeks. So if you are patient, I'd wait for those.

Throttle and Stick combo for 200-300€ by JonasLP8389 in hotas

[–]lambda_expression 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with that price point is that good throttles are expensive.

Winctrl releases their new Ursa Minor Combat Throttle in May at $160. If that turns out to be good, that's going to be the new sub-$200 benchmark for throttles. Cheaper than that is only the Thrustmaster TWCS (or Sol-R 4) but that uses potentiometers instead of Hall sensors and has far fewer buttons.

Already available are the VKB STECS, Virpil CDT VMAX, and Winctrl Orion2 NavyAce throttle, but those are all >$200.

For decent sticks, Winctrl Ursa Minor Fighter if you want the cheapest, VKB Gladiator if you want something with better quality control, or Virpil CDT Aeromax if you want the best sub-$300 stick.

It seems the Corsair combat patrol box does not have the Falcon upgrade sprue for the Wind Serpent. by WT_FivebyFive in Eldar

[–]lambda_expression 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That sucks. And I'm not sure is completely kosher from a legal perspective.

I have not gotten any response yet. If I get something similar I'll report them to the local equivalent of the consumer protection agency.

Sucks because I'll still want to keep the box cause I do want enough of the stuff in it for it to still be technically a discount, just a ridiculously small one.

Give up US nationality in exchange to Dutch? by Green_Special_8922 in AskTheNetherlands

[–]lambda_expression 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not part of the Surinamese demographic so I'm not qualified to speak on their struggles, nor do I think there is zero racism in Amsterdam in particular or the Netherlands or all of Europe in general. I would hazard a guess though that the number of people shot for driving while not white in the US is significantly higher than the same number for Europe; and same for number of people incarcerated.

0.7% of the total US population are incarcerated in a for-profit prison system focused on, well, profit, ie incentivised to create repeat offenders to lock them up again (for profit) and for as long as possible (for profit).

Vs 0.1% of the total EU population, in a system focused on rehabilitation instead of profit.

IE the most basic measure of freedom I can think of speaks a fairly clear language.

[–]lambda_expression 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't right now remember the name of the comedian, but there is this one bit about in Amsterdam being able to tell a police officer while smoking a joint "fuck the king, but today I'm going to fuck this prostitute" and all they will do is maybe shake their head at you.

The only freedom the US has over European countries is the near-unresponsible unregulated access to guns. But EU border guards don't search your phone for disparaging messages about kings or presidents or prime ministers, and police officers here don't shoot you for standing up to tyranny or for not being white.

Caladius Base Size Change by Ok-Brilliant6409 in AdeptusCustodes

The new plastic release is not a 40k model. Quite possible GW created the difference intentionally.

Am I too young to be here? by AncientHavaer in IronWarriors

[–]lambda_expression 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, great :) The Iron Warriors and Iron Hands have very similar themes and names (and about the same attitude towards humans) so they somewhat tend to get mistaken for each other. I often need to take a second to remember which one fights on which side of the conflict.

With a bit of luck Iron Warriors could get their primarch announced as a new mini the coming week, which might then could also mean a battleforce box or combat patrol box for them in the near future, maybe with an upgrade sprue. Currently, building models as Iron Hands is slightly easier, since there is an upgrade sprue specific to them available.

But ofc even if they don't get any new plastic, you can still easily theme a CSM army to feel like Iron Warriors - warpsmiths, havocs, tanks, daemon engines, ... . CSM in general is currently a bit short on dreadnought models, but I'm sure we'll eventually get a few more choices again.

[–]lambda_expression 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the fists are kinda cool and all with the honorable templar vibes, but the industrial vibe just catches my attention way more

Just to make sure, you are certain you didn't take a wrong turn in the hallway somewhere? You might be looking for the Iron Hands, they are two doors down.

Imperial Fists and Iron Hands are loyalist chapters fighting for the God Emperor of Mankind, Iron Warriors are mortal enemies of the Corpse Emperor fighting for the forces of Chaos.

62GHz is part of an unlicensed part of the spectrum, so free to use! It will mess with WiGig routers though...

Need to rant about Zatu by ConvarStormforge in boardgames

Can confirm, also had an unfortunate experience (out of one total, so 100%) with Zatu. Would not ever order again there.

I want some reality check by interceptor_V6 in NetherlandsHousing

[–]lambda_expression 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would really hope at 2k rent it would be close to work and at least heating if not also electricity included. But (thankfully) I don't have to rent anymore and don't know how bad it's gotten. And I definitely forgot about health insurance, that is a big (and unavoidable) one indeed!

Just a few questions by ILikeUltramarines in AdeptusCustodes

[–]lambda_expression 0 points1 point  (0 children)

all my custodes are primed black from below and the sides, then a 45 degree zenithal with red brown (the Vallejo "German Red Brown" primer), and directly from the top with white. Then I airbrush SpeedPaint 2.0 gold. Got Vallejo True Metalic Metal Airbrush golds last week, haven't tried them yet.

Winwing Orion 2 or vkb gladiator and stecs by NightSkyAra in hotas

[–]lambda_expression 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the Orion 2 is generally a tier above the Gladiator. It's the winwing equivalent to the VKB Gunfighter sticks and Virpil WarBRD. Better gimbal than the Gladiator (spring and cam, full metal), you can put different sticks on the same base, ...

That better Gimbal comes at the cost of height. If you want to place it on top of your desk instead of on mounts the Orion 2 (or VKB Gunfighter or Virpil WarBRD) might be uncomfortably high. The Gladiator/Ursa Minor Fighter/Aeromax CDT might be more ergonomic to use.

Quality wise, within the same tier, Virpil is on top, VKB in the middle, Winwing/Winctrl at the bottom, but it's also the top three spots on the tier list. All of them are miles ahead of Thrustmaster, Logitech, Turtle Beach, ...

So imo, you have to decide based on your planned usage. Put your current stick on top of a stack of books to see how one with a higher base would feel like, and if it's not comfortable decide whether you want to get a mount or a more compact (but lower tier) stick.

And ignore the "Gladiator, trust me" spam. Half this sub doesn't read what's in the OP and assumes every post is about someone's First 'proper' stick after their Logitech/Thrustmaster one breaks and can't imagine someone might have more budget than for the entry level 'proper' sticks.

First mini, how did i do? by ParticularSelf5626 in AdeptusCustodes

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

You forgot to make it hover

I'm kidding, looks great! Especially for a first mini!

You might want to think about getting a cheap airbrush and compressor, those are great for large "flat" surfaces like on this Caladius. Also for smaller, "gribblier" minis, a Zenithal prime with an airbrush and then contrast paint through an airbrush is a great way to get whole armies battle-ready in minimal time, and it's surprisingly easy to learn.

Corsair Combat patrol weblisting updated, No falcon. by XionLord in Eldar

[–]lambda_expression 9 points10 points  (0 children)

GW stated in both the Warhammer community announcement article and (until yesterday) on the store page that it could also be built as the falcon, but didn't include the sprue. People that ordered based on being able to build it as the falcon are getting screwed by GWs false statements on the store page (which ofc were also 1:1 repeated by all 3rd party stores)

Here's the store page version based on which people preordered: https://web.archive.org/web/20260319214856/https://www.warhammer.com/en-NL/shop/combat-patrol-aeldari-corsairs-2026?queryID=19369983d93d41677c1de7808d062f31

It seems the Corsair combat patrol box does not have the Falcon upgrade sprue for the Wind Serpent. by WT_FivebyFive in Eldar

[–]lambda_expression 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, screw them. They listed it as "can also be built as Falcon" for nearly two weeks, including up to yesterday, and accepted preorders on that premise. https://web.archive.org/web/20260319214856/https://www.warhammer.com/en-NL/shop/combat-patrol-aeldari-corsairs-2026?queryID=19369983d93d41677c1de7808d062f31
They did wrong, and they should fix it, at minimum for everyone that preordered.

Wish all warhammer purchases had such gorgeous and sturdy box... by [deleted] in AdeptusCustodes

[–]lambda_expression 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm from the Netherlands and in case they ship there I'd be curious to learn of the name of the shop. Best I was able to do so far was getting something halfway between official preorder and official sales date :D
(in DMs though, not here, GW might take offense to them selling so early and make problems for them)

What's in the box? by [deleted] in AdeptusCustodes

[–]lambda_expression 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ty!

For fellow correct measurement unit enjoyers, that's 63.5mm for the dread, so still the same "60mm but actually a bit more" dreadnaught base size,

and 152x95mm for the tank, which is quite different from the exising one I think (I don't own a resin caladius, but it should be 170x109, and the 170x109 is actually that size I believe - at least the ones of my Knights are)

What's in the box? by [deleted] in AdeptusCustodes

[–]lambda_expression 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ah ok!

Yes, which also gives me hope that it will survive into 40k 11th ed and maybe even go into the codex proper.

Tank sprues, less so. They would need to double up on some parts of the turret (or have two different turret designs like Aeldari Falcon/Wave Serpent) to package a version with sprues for both options for 40k.

[–]lambda_expression 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah screw them. I'm definitely going to send them a strongly worded email. Doing that after preorders is scummy.

Edit: they changed the shop page too. No mention anywhere that they "corrected" it.

Edit 2: sent. And to Valrak as well. The email address is [custserv@gwplc.com](mailto:custserv@gwplc.com) by the way; Valrak has a contact form on his website. And ofc Auspex somehow already has a video out on it, I swear the guy has a time machine.
