    Tabletop Warhammer?

    Do not leave them sat in water for long periods. The handle part of the brush is wooden on the army painter brushes. So it soaks up all the water. So when you fall asleep painting your minis you wake up to a brand new brush that has swollen and split along its entire length.

    Tabletop Warhammer?

    Get a pin vice ( a hand driven small drill) and some thin, solid but bendy wire. Having said that I use super glue for all my models anyway.

    Tabletop Warhammer?

    Magnetisation is much easier if you do the entire arm. There is then a lot more space to play with (and its easier to hide stuff) in the shoulder joint. I drill 2 holes slightly bigger than I need. Fill them with green stuff (dont over fill) and then press the magnet in flush. You can then...

    Apollo / Reddit app, API shenanigans.

    And the large majority of this is unpaid work. Most of the moderators are volunteers. People maintaining active subs and creating periodic content do so for free. Reddit doesn't pay them a dime.

    Miasma Chronicles - Fallout/Xcom mix

    Thats not generaly how these systems work. Its a game and its turn based. Where you character is stood on the screen in relation to the enemies is just a depiction of a moment in time. The 50% figure shown on the screen will factor in all the bonuses and other things that affect your aim, such...

    lamps, magnification and more....

    I got one of the magnifiers with a set of helping hands built in and just found it too akward to use. I expect it depends on your setup, but if you move around a lot it is never where you want and you cannot use it for long peroids as you need to maintain the same position. I bought a set of the...

    Rimworld - strategy base building sci-fi indie game

    Make sure one of your pawns has suitable traits so they dont get debuffs and is a cook. You can then grow hay and change dead raiders into kibble.

    Detectorists

    This was my take as well. I realy enjoyed the series and the last episode was perfect all round. This special was ok, but it just spoilt a lot of that storytelling.

    This is getting ridiculous (energy prices - Strictly NO referrals!)

    Most of that will be standing charges. They were increased allot to pay for all the costs of the energy companies that went bust and whos customers were offloaded onto the surviving companies.

    This is getting ridiculous (energy prices - Strictly NO referrals!)

    Its 17 degrees outside in Manchester at the moment. The people wracking up massive bills are those with the heating on for no reason trying to maintain 21 degrees inside while they sit there in a tshirt. Ive not had my (gas) heating on at all so far and with the subsidy being applied to my...

    Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

    There will be the equivalent of a Marshall plan. Lots of money goes into Ukraine from foreign investment on the understanding a proportion of it pays for materials, personal and equipment and manpower purchased from the country of origin. Its a win-win for both sides, Ukraine gets rebuilt...

    Should 1p and 2p coins be scrapped?

    You can get rid of 1p coins. There are still numerous uses for the other smaller denominations. With 40-50 items in a shopping trolley, if we round up by loosing everything under 20p Then you just added £10.00 onto a weekly shop.

    Tabletop Warhammer?

    Those blue marines a few posts up are painted with Army Painter speed paints, these are the Army Painters version of Contrast Paint. That is one coat of `Highlord Blue` over a grey/white zenithal prime. Then touched up and detailed. If you look at the squad leader (4rd image with the cap). The...

    Getting bank card PIN from phone/wallet theft?

    Not much point in any of this if the thief is sat there in her gym gear next to you as you get changed and watches you put an iphone into your locker.

    Getting bank card PIN from phone/wallet theft?

    Not if they are using a different phone each time. If they are having a shopping spree at the Apple store every `job` they will just be buying new phones. I imagine its a group of ladies and they are signed up at different gyms using the bank details and driving licenses they took from other...

    Getting bank card PIN from phone/wallet theft?

    Both the halifax and the Santander bank app have an option to retrieve your pin. Its basically a `tell me my pin option`. This would allowed them to spend on chip and pin. In order to get access to the bank app you will need to have accessed the phone and then provided the same phone PIN again...

    Tabletop Warhammer?

    I bought 50 glass mixing balls from ebay. They work a great. Have put 1 into all my GW and Vallejo pots. The army painter ones all have them in I think. I am not impressed with Vallejo. The paint is too goopy and in some cases even vigorous mixing leaves me with obvious pigment flakes and...
