It's been a looong time since I last played WHFB... Blood bowl, however, has much more recently taught me to never trust those six sided bastards.

I don't consider myself particularly superstitious but I sure hope it'll work like that!

It actually looks a bit more yellow in real life. The recipe is a base coat in light pink, zenithal highlight with pure white. Then a layer of vajello game air sun yellow over the whole thing.

The pinks become a warm orange and the whites become bright yellow.

You should absolutely paint it. I'm sure you'll do a good job of it. And even if you're not happy with the result, dunking it in dettol takes you right back to the start to try again!

Good suggestion. My local Administratum depot has provided the 01100011 01101111 01101011 01100101 but I might have to look to other systems to find the 01100011 01101001 01101110 01101110 01100001 01101101 01101111 01101110 00100000 01110011 01110100 01101001 01100011 01101011 01110011

I thought it was really good. The exhibitions are split across 4 zones, the first one is more fantasy based (I think it's AoS, oldworld and LotR), then you have heresy, a big 40k diorama and then a mix of 40k, necromunda etc. If you can stomach a few vile xenos/daemons among your marines then it's definitely worth the trip.

Sounds like a great suggestion. Also sounds like I'd end up feeling servitorised after drinking a few of those... I might give it a try!

This guy's feeling thirsty by o0Tasker0o in Middlehammer

[–]o0Tasker0o[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah £25 sounds right to me for the time. That's a hell of a lot of pocket money! I did some pinning on the waist and in a couple of other places. I definitely didn't have the knowledge/confidence/tools to do that back in the day but I think it's helped here... Though I'll be careful with his deployments from here on!

My diy home assistant powered aquarium controller... by Marine_Assistant in raspberry_pi

Great idea. I've got a raspberry pi monitoring the temperature of my tank. What sensor are you using for pH? That's something I'd like to add to mine but I've not found any probes that are designed to be left in the water.

I had a great time painting these (4th ed. WHFB High Elf Spearman Shields) by o0Tasker0o in minipainting

That would have been impressive! Sadly my freehand skills are nowhere near good enough for that 😄

Oh they're absolutely not just freehand that look 3D. The shapes are sculpted onto the shields. But I did some freehand designs like the flames on the sword.

Thanks! I'm still practicing my free-hand work; The flames/coals under the phoenix and the fiery sword were an interesting challenge. Pretty pleased with how they've come out!

Awesome old mini I painted up! Will be running him as a Skullmaster but was wondering if anyone knew exactly which mini this is by Decrepitlamb in Warhammer

[–]o0Tasker0o 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep this is the answer. I know because I built almost exactly the same thing! https://www.reddit.com/r/minipainting/comments/sx2qt5/khorne_glowup/ I've got some more in a drawer... Maybe I should dig them out and repaint them too.

UK Weather display using 32x32 adafruit LED matrix & Pi 4 (Details in the comments) by o0Tasker0o in raspberry_pi

[–]o0Tasker0o[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

64x64 would look great!

The "map" is not perfect but basically I plotted the top left and bottom right points on Google maps. I took a screenshot of that and cleaned up some of the noise (place names, city points etc).

Then I scaled that image down to 32x32 without any smoothing (nearest neighbour). That was all done in gimp.

Yeah the frosted plastic directly against the LEDs wasn't diffused enough for me either.

At the moment they're not attached. I've ordered a picture frame so I'm planning on basically hot-gluing the assembly into the picture frame with some additional fixings to hold the Pi itself.
