My household has coldbrew tea on tap - done by just leaving leaves in the jug's strainer overnight or so in the fridge - pretty much all the time. So far we've found green teas do best - with Sencha being the top performer, but we've really only tried CTC black, green oolongs, roasted oolongs, and a couple different greens.

Thinking about trying white tea - it seems like the less oxidized a tea is the better it informs, which implies white should do great. However, white tea leaves have a physical consistency that reminds me more like black tea, so I wonder if that would make for a poor brew.

Has anyone given it a shot? For sure silver needles is out because that would be silly and expensive, but something like shite peony or shou mei is pretty affordable, last I shopped for them years back. Think those work well?

There's a fair bit of office space still in active use there from what I can tell, but outside of a few obvious names, I'm not super familiar with most of these companies - certainly none of them need IT/Cybersec guys from what Indeed was giving me months back. What all goes on out there, and where do you fit into it?

In lieu of trying to do a lot of custom heraldry, I thought about just getting someone to do custom transfers instead. There's some Charges and such in the box, but I was thinking about taking it further - getting the whole shield covered in something random, with a matching one for the four caparison shields on the horse (for the knights) and something for the like 3 or 4 styles of MAA shields since I was thinking about making them all match the heraldry for the Lord (who naturally also needs some done).

Poked around on etsy but didn't find anything exact, so I thought I'd reach out here before I start probing for someone to commission to do all these.

I read a little into the lore of "Modern Day" lands under TK control and was surprised to find that there's actually small pockets of actual living humans there - the Scarab City, some nomad tribes, possibly a couple others.

I'm not super well versed on all the army types in the game yet - it's different than 6e - but I know Bretonnia has the ability to take some non-standard units in their Exile (?) army. This got me thinking: would a variant of TKs with some of these living troops levied out in support look right?

If so, what kind of mechanical role would you expect that they'd fill?

Brought this up at the main sub but figured I'd get more experiences here.

I've magnetized the bases on all my Brettonian figs, but have run into a quandary - how do I transport the Pegasi in a magnetic carrier? It would seem they'd be too tall (and spindly / fragile) to go into a magnetic carrier, but if I take them off they'd just slide around because there's like nowhere to stick a magnet that wouldn't be some awful lump on it or something (there's almost no flat surfaces besides). Best I can think of is maybe a 1mm x 1mm in a hoof?

How are you guys handling this? I don't think there's any foam/magnet hybrids I'm aware of, and I'm trying to completely avoid foam cases for WHFB (too many models are quite "dimensional"!).

I've finally gotten around to this guy! Not to figure out how to model him.

Looks like RAW you don't get to use a regular lance if you've taken a magic sword. However, there are magic lances. I'm leaning towards modeling him with just the sword simply because the model will be a smidge more compact, but if there's a case for taking a lance, why not let him have that I figure? Near as I can tell, there's never really a case where you'll want to run a model of this tier without something magic, anyway.

Are any of these magic lances worth taking over a magic sword (or suchlike)?

WHFB's an on-and-off thing for me right now but I've finally gotten to the flyers in my Bretonnian set!

Anyway, the base itself is super obvious - put a magnet on the bottom. It looks like I've got the classic clear base but also some square raised bases which appears to be the norm now. Magnetizing the base is no problem.

But when I put these models into the magnetized case I expect to use, models on the flying sticks would probably be too tall. Even if not, that seems precarious. I can take them off, but then it's not clear where the model itself goes - sliding about in the case unattached seems like a bad play. But, there's not a lot of obvious ways to make the model stay put, and it's not like I have foam in a magnetic case (or any desire to use foam with the highly dimensional nature of flyers).

How are you guys handling that? Maybe drilling a 1mm x 1mm into the two downmost hooves? Tuck one into the wing?
