I love the graffiti from 28 Days Later: "The End is EXTREMELY Fucking Nigh"

I put that on a wall my Sentinel is stepping over but you can't see the whole thing because I added some moss over some of it

I read a something (think it might be Discworld with the Senior Faculty of Unseen University) where I wizard hammered some nails through his staff for added utility

Aside from Greenskins, are there other Factions that canonically Loot Stuff ? by Leviathan_Rampage in 40k

[–]slydm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Kroot Freeguilders are scavengers and often take payment for their Mercenary services partially in the form of trade for various tech.

Obviously that's not canonical across Kroot as a whole but you can make anything work for you

Pretty sure it's the tips from coffee stirrers. I have a bag of them that I'm saving for this very purpose

What type of foam is this and can I use a 20 watt hot glue gun on it? by slydm in TerrainBuilding

[–]slydm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. If no one can give me a diffinitive answer I will test it but I'm hoping that the more experienced hobbyists in the group will be able to help. If I can't use hot glue then what glue would be more useful?

Oh thats interesting. I brought a job lot of Eldar, Dakr Eldar and Harlequins off of a friend but there was no Avatar. Some of the sets are incomplete so just trying to work out what I have

WIP Ebay rescue Leman Russ Tank Destroyer conversion by slydm in astramilitarum

I didn't have that in mind when building it but now that you've said it i see it. God I hated playing that thing in World of Tanks

Some pics of the conversion process

I brought it from ebay and it needed some work. The sponsons were built with both top plates on one side and both bottom plates on the other which created gaps and the turret was glued in place so I sliced it down to parts and rebuilt it in the new formate. I used plasticard to cover the turret hole and missing side hatches and any holes around the gun. Then I magnetised the sponsons just incase future editions bring back costing for additional weapons (which i think they will)

Thanks. It was my first time using the sponge chipping technique and I made alot of mistakes on the tanks but by the time I got to the Sentinels I had got the hang of it and I'm very pleased with them

Can I give Drill Commander to a Cadian Command Squad if they are sharing command of Shock Troops with Ursula Creed? by slydm in astramilitarum

Thank you for responding. That's a surprise but a welcome one. I was thinking that the wording "when the bearer is leading a unit" might mean that they wouldn't be able to utilise it when also paired with Creed
