I'm picking up speed: I have after more than two years of careful planning flocked my Imperial/Spanish artillery by dousing it in PVA and burying it under a homemade flock mix. It's this kind of precision work that brings the hobby forward... πŸ™„

Then you'll be fine with "almost 2.5 dl" per cup. πŸ™‚

Meh, fat fingers, 250, not 280 ml for a Imperial cup, so almost no difference...

Volume. A US cup is 240 ml and an Imperial 280-ish, but I have personally never seen anyone referring to UK cups in a recipe. Is it an UK or US recipe?

Well, now I had to get it too, didn't I!? 😠

A great end result! 😍

Sometimes it's simply needed, and selling it is a lot of hassle too... πŸ‘

Heretic... πŸ˜ πŸ˜„ I like the books because they are still very much about the Imperial wars, but apart from the bloody Astartes, which makes them feel much more human. The Isenhorn series is all about the various civilian cultures in the Empire, and it shows the vast difference between planets.

Stop second-guessing yourself...just give up and settle... πŸ˜…

I can very highly recommend the series about Gaunt's ghosts and the series about the inquisitor Eisenhorn by Dan Abnett, both brilliant and far away from all the bloody Space Marines...

You have your DMs locked so I cannot write to you, but maybe answer if you write to me first?

Or not... Let me know if you want them. πŸ™‚

This was just a normal paper trial to check the size but the actual decals I printed on my office's laser printer, but an inkjet printer at home works just as well. You need to buy the correct type of waterslide decal paper. I'll DM you some instructions I made.

Bright and gaudy, that's how I roll! If your unit doesn't look like an exploding bawdy house, what are you even doing?

Thank you! Very happy with how they turned out. πŸ˜‡ I have another 24 primed and ready. 🀦

I have also finished the first two Midgard units of Italian targonieri mercenaries, with my own shield transfers. Note my patented replaceable flag system, with a tube 3D-added to the figure to hold a bristle flag pole, this so they can be anyone's mercenaries.

I have finally finished the Swiss pike block which has been sitting around for close to a year due to a crashed mojo. I'm quite happy with this, but I need another 3 "canton columns" to give me 2 Furioso or 3 Midgard units, which is something for my upcoming vacation maybe...

Haha, given the small stature of the horses and the priming I thought "wolf riders?"... πŸ˜…

Just the tip then, or? πŸ˜… This looks great! Stop alluring weak men with your heretic 6 mm! 😑

Having figures already done for a new idea must surely be cheating?
