I guess you 'show it favour' by not putting more strain or work on it?

The brain can predict the path of a thrown object just from seeing the peak of it's arc. If you throw a ball in the air, so long as you see the top bit your brain can calculate where it will land for a catch!

Yup, Birmingham, Reading and Twickenham. No idea why, blood donations is done all over the country anywhere they can find a space big enough!

Second this, takes very slightly longer, but you can do it much more regularly. Plus in the UK there is only 3 locations that can do it so even more critical if you are nearby!

One biscuit is very proper and British of you. I make off with at least a KitKat and a couple of orange Clubs! Also there is only 3 locations in the UK that do plasma donation, which is very similar to blood but you can do it much more regularly so that is well worth considering if possible

I love the extra armour kits, no rhino ones but I was lucky enough to get hold of 1+3/4 of the LR extra armour which I combined with the mkii kits for some really square tanks! My white whale is the LR spaced armour which seems to be near impossible to locate

Just some of the Space Marine Chapters I have painted over the years - not pictured are the Dark Angels and Black Templars I first had 25 years ago! And I still can never settle on a Chapter - it starts to feel like a curse 😅

So @sixdiceskills.bsky.social has been playing with that idea for his Old World events. Given the armies are pretty unbalanced they were assigned tiers, and the lower tiers are given extra points for the listbuilding. So you may end up with 2000pts of Cathay facing 2500pts of Empire

I agree with this, I think there being some sorts of constraints helps keep forces looking cohesive while encouraging people to get super creative with theming. You just have to look at someone like @kitbashedgaming.bsky.social to see how wild you can get using regular list rules!

Can also confirm steel forge silver is great. Still needs a thorough shake and slight warm to get the metallic flakes active but the finish is far far beyond any citadel sprays

My issue with this is that between Necromunda: Skirmish and Necromunda: Role Play, it feels like they took what made Necromunda unique and awesome and split it into two much more generic simple games. Both missing key elements from the other

Had a some great games of 3rd ed with @mrllamatastic.bsky.social, it just works so smoothly! I was a particular fan of our jump chaplains having mirror matches in murdering half the opponents army in game 1, then charging and instantly killing each other in game 2.

Just popped up the STLs for my Epic-scale Total Annihilation PeeWee minis, meaning you can relive the joys of playing the original game by printing off 50 and hurling them at your enemies (or friends). cults3d.com/en/3d-model/...

In that case I will use my time constructively in mapping unit proxes between the TA roster and Legiones Imperialis. With a hope that one day I can bring the Arm forces to the tabletops of the 31st millennium! I'd love a Bulldog or a Shooter

This is one of the worst intro explanations to sail function I have come across! It covers the main points, but in such an odd disconnected way that it very much reads as though the author has never actually been sailing, just loosely understands the theory!

And the Vultarax is finished! The blue was copied from a meddersminiatures vid on YT. The trench plates and sandbag emplacement is from march.of.war which is pretty much where 99% of my basing mats and upgrade bits come from and it looks perfect. #warhammer #horusheresy #30k #Vultarax #mechanicum
