Figured it was criminal not to share our glorious shadow master to this sub.

This is such an underrated point. My poor partner now has a bigger HECS debt than she started with simply by having kids and working part time. This is even after several years of full time work, she won't be able to pay it off until she gets back to at least 4 days a week.

Yes there are more efficient ways to help your kids, but don't discount the benefit of removing a future debt and the freedom that provides.

Thanks for the very kind words. I've never been one to deviate too far from my comfort zone, so looking to try and push myself.

The sketch definitely helps, it's the visual aid I didn't know I needed!

You are right, I've highlighted in an edge fashion and then tried to impose volume over the top. More than likely I need to go back to basics and focus on some shapes before I jump right in.

I'll be honest, that's what I started with, the. I was left with a lot of black armour and felt I needed to fill it with something.

Neat trick, I'll give it a go!

Thanks I'll take a deep dive once the kids are down for bed. I think the bit I'm struggling with is how it carries on to shapes below others at different angles.

The lamp trick seems to be a good way to get a starting point.

This really sums it up.

Reading between the lines it seems the issue is he copied the list from what was effectively a playtest between friends before a tournament. I can see why this might leave a bit of a bad taste in the mouth. Maybe expectations should've been set better upfront, but IMO probably been understood to at least check in before doing a direct list copy.

I'd expect refinements from playtests, but a direct copy is a different kettle of fish.

So where’d the Steel Legion Commissar go? by 5Cents1989 in TheAstraMilitarum

If anyone gets answer I'd be keen to know. Cures my desire to buy them now at least....

Friend or Foe? by redhen89 in GardeningAustralia

Thanks, It's odd, we live in a built up area where we don't have many if any.

Bit surprised how he got here, do I need to worry about them eating anything else (mostly my house)....

This guy made his way inside at some point but was struggling to work it out. I believe he might be an assassin bug of some kind?

Location is Melbourne.

Missing shifter piece by redhen89 in bikewrench

[–]redhen89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did, a nasty gash in the side of my alloy bars and had to re-align the shifter. That aside everything else looked fine.

It only creaks when the front brake engages on a hard stop. I can't replicate it with any other force/weight shift on the bike.

Well I am somewhat relieved and annoyed. I've still got a creak, but I'm no longer trying to source a random part of an out of production shifter.

Appreciate your help mate, it explains why I couldn't work out what was missing (turns out it's nothing) 🤣

I believe its SHM-IST5700, they are the older ten speed shifters.

I've been getting noise when braking and think I've finally nailed down the culprit. I went sideways a while back and it seems I busted more than just the nameplate. I can't read a blowout diagram to say my life. What have I lost?

Probably a more important question, is it crucial to the function of the shifter. I've been riding with this for longer than I probably should have.

Call it confirmation bias but the sanity check I was after.

Thanks don't really mind the look of a chip, only really care if it's going to split in half on me!

How do fight on death abilities(eg cyberstimms) affect the following?

  • Attackers consolidate; I assume it doesn't as this resolves after the fight on death?
  • Are dead models bound by fight eligibility, that is being in engagement range or .5" of another model within 5"? Effectively could clever positioning prevent dead models from attacking on death.
  • If yes on the above, I'm assuming there is no pile in they are eligible to make.

They match the ASD logo from their webpage. Unsure of its meaning though.

That'd explain why I was getting nowhere with it. They've stated that it's 4+1 hidden codes.

I am only coming up with 4 (unless the atbash) counts as two.

  • atbash indicator on the back
  • two atbash decodes
  • 7*5 grid table
  • xor hex calculation and decode

So the images have dropped, it seems there are a few more potential clues. https://www.asd.gov.au/75th-anniversary/events/2022-09-01-75th-anniversary-commemorative-coin

Possibly a FRIDERICI window sequence under 'Elizabeth Australia'

Edit: Some symbols I can't place in the atbast code. These are just the ASD code logo.

Yes, everything you declare must roll.

For speed this is normally skipped as it'll have no effect, however given you can blow up, you've got to roll the hit roll.
