  1. Hi all I need some help. It looks as though I've managed to mix up the different size nozzles/needles. Any idea how I can tell what sizes the needles are (should be 2x3mm and 2x2mm - already spotted which the 5mm ones are) and which nozzles go with them? These are cheap unbranded brushes/parts so completely unmarked. I have a set of digital calipers, but at which point do i take a measurement from?.. The main body of each needle is the same diameter Thanks!
  2. Region locked not available in the UK. Is this an intenionally staged release @Aaron?
  3. The site I ordered this off originally last September has gone from pushing the date back over and over again to 'This product is currently unavailable - it is likely that distribution has ceased.' Not looking great
  4. Swordfighter? What model is that please, I think I missed something
  5. Thanks I think I can just about afford a standard full limb with my starting scrip, then maybe I can upgrade & improve at a later date. Maybe if I go into Engineer
  6. Ohhhhhh.... The penny just dropped, thanks both, I had thought that those were types of limbs to purchase (for some reason) rather than the additions (augments) to limbs which were available. I feel daft for missing it, but enlightened, thanks again
  7. Hi guys I've spent my lunch trawling the rulebook, making sure my new character is up to snuff, and he has artefacting, is a Darlin Theorist & Tinkerer. I know I am able to craft a full pneumatic limb (25scrip) at 25% of guild prices (6.25 scrip) and that a full limb includes 2 augments. Great, I'm up to speed so far. However, I can't for the life in me find where I choose augments from? Can someone please give me a page reference for where I select/read up on augments please, or alternatively please enlighten me as to where I went wrong? Thanks in advance
  8. Hi There, Apologise, both are spoken for now, I'll update the title.
  9. Thanks I'm really enjoying painting them after the initial sinking feeling when I realised they were the translucent set. I've painted all the bikes with a mix of black and the darkest GW metallic, but I think what I should have done is maybe highlight up from straight black... I washed the base coat with black, and will come up through some darker metallics and see how it looks at any rate Cheers
  10. Managed to get some paint down, and once primed the transparent plastic behaves like the standard stuff http://themostexcellentandawesomeforumever-wyrd.com/topic/123551-brutal-emissary-conversion-and-guild-collection/?do=findComment&comment=1023584
  11. Thanks. I had (mistakenly) assumed that they were only pertinent to the first version of the game.
  12. I guess the official Magic & Immuto cards won't make it into the wild since the 2.0 announcement? Is it still unacceptable for @GummyGator to share his version? Thanks
  13. Hi Unfortunately not, I bought the Ramos box for everything except Ramos to use with Hoffman. Thanks
  14. Cheers, I hope to make a start with painting this week at some point. I'm hoping to be able to do them justice Hope you get yours sorted soon too
  15. Yeah, not having to force your eyes to focus on the surface rather than somewhere in or on the other side of large see through components is a godsend. I won't lie, this last model nearly made it across the room rather quick :/
  16. The other bikers is a bit of a nightmare. It seems the kit would never ever make a full circle... there's either an 1/8th inch gap at the top of the wheel or (as I did) it isn't quite circular when you just glue all the ends together handlebars are pretty much free-floating on mine in order to glue the wrist to the hand, I see gmort had the luxury of bending the arm to fit on the regular kits though Challenging...
  17. I've just put together Pati Ramone, and I just have to reiterate what is on Gmorts blog on the subject, and that's the alignments of the hand/gear stick device. I ended up making the rider completely, after gluing the seat back to the wheel. Then I glue the base to the bottom of the rider, and glued that to the seat back. Unfortunately i missed out the gear stick assembly completely and had to wiggle this into place behind all the glued pieces. Getting the arm between the shoulder and the hand took a lot of fussing around while multiple glue points were wet, so you might have to persevere with this sorry
  18. Thank you for the feedback, I see what you're saying. I'll try and go back in and work some more on the blue areas at some point soon
  19. I managed to snag myself a Nightmare McCabe crew from a trading group on Facebook! However after opening it up in a mad rush of excitement, it was the transparent set... After having paid Import fees and postage etc I decided it wasn't worth arguing with the seller and Paypal for refunds, and to just get on with it. I asked in a few places for advice about the brittle plastics etc and got the same feedback: Yes it's brittle but isn't glass, & if you're painting it anyway, prime on the sprue to make it easier to see the attachment points etc. Fast forward after a weekend away, and I've assembled the dismounted Rollins, and primed the other frames
  20. I've just been outside to dust the sprues with black primer, and it has helped far more that I thought it would. The primer (Games workshop Chaos Black) adhered fine, and allowed me to see one side of detail at once Whilst the plastic type is a bit more brittle, dismounted Rollins' chain has a lot more give than I would expect. Once assembled i gave it a few unfriendly shoves to simulate clumsy gameplay and it was fine. I was expecting it to snap at the hand and I would replace it with guitar wire at a push but no need I'll update progress on my guild thread but I've included photos below to show the primed sprues I always open your blog before unboxing my stuff to see what I need to be aware of Thanks for all the content mate. You should get a Patreon pledge in my opinion, as your guides have saved me a couple of times!
  21. I recently managed to get hold of the Wild Ones box. On opening it however I see that it's translucent (the seller apparently had no idea either). I wouldn't have bought it if i'd known this as I'm wanting to paint and use it normally. So far I've found that the plastic is a lot more brittle than the regular grey plastic & I'm finding it difficult to line up small attachment points as I can't see very well where they should meet. I'm going to dust the rest of the frames with grey primer to help with this, but I wondered if anyone had any tips on assembling translucent crews with very fine (snappable) parts? Thanks in advance, I'm currently very worried after spending this much on a limited crew (plus customs fees) that I'm just going to end up snapping bits off whilst gaming with the models. Lofty
  22. Huh. The image at the start of the story is that of the Dufresne art, which is probably where I made the association from. My bad
  23. I'm sure this has come up before, but has there ever been any mention of being able to order for these exclusive 'sales' through an LGS? Shipping and import to the UK is daft money. Lofty
