Quick attempt to size up the Ghyrochs based on the existing gargant size estimation posts (for kitbashing)

Quick attempt to size up the Ghyrochs based on the existing gargant size estimation posts (for kitbashing)

"Estimated" but gives a rough idea of the size compared with some other units.

This of course assumes that the estimates are broadly correct.

I have no idea what I'm doing but: iHatePdf, a Comic CBZ/CBR file reader

REALIZED I SAID PDF ONCE IN THE VID: This is NOT a PDF reader and cannot read PDFs. It only supports CBR/CBZ.

There's already a really good PDF reader app out there, and I even wrote a script to convert my comics to PDF. It worked great, but it just felt wrong. CBZ/CBR are the standard formats for comics, so having a dedicated app felt necessary!

Full disclosure: I have ZERO idea what I'm doing in C/C++. I mostly work in Python, so while I have some conceptual understanding, this hardware environment is definitely not my safe space. However, between Claude and Gemini, I managed to get a working app running (likely committing multiple coding sins along the way). It was the first time I've ever hit my Gemini subscription request limit...

Still missing / To-Do:

  • Proper/best-practice file system usage/storage access
  • Zoom functionality
  • A lot of general quality-of-life features like falling back to the file system with the same file you just opened still highlighted.

Assuming I can fix these up and get it to a state where I would be happy using it, I'll throw what I've cobbled together onto GitHub. Hopefully, someone who actually knows what they're doing can tell me where I screwed up and help clean it up!

Consider this a call for interest: Is this something people would actually want?

Note on performance: As shown in the video, there is a firm hardware limitation when loading massive high-resolution scans.

P.S. Yes, I know that's Volume 35 of Berserk, not Volume 1! I kept moving files back and forth to test cover art generation and it was just quicker to rename the file than hunt down the right one.

Wanted my MKII veteran to look like a genuine veteran, so I tried an aged, cold gold trim instead of my usual bright recipe. What do you think? Last pic shows his budget "Rubicon" surgery.

Would you let me run this upscaled MKII Marine as an Intercessor Sergeant? Last pic shows his budget "Rubicon" surgery.

Techmarine: Percussive Maintenance Specialist (custom Deathwatch Aegis Veteran for my Kill Team)

I like the Deathwatch Kill Team but don't really vibe with the colour scheme. So I decided to kitbash my own team.

The Aegis seemed funny to me as he's basically the "smash it with the big stick"-operative so I figured it would be funny if mine was a Techmarine.

Yes, his shield is a Knight model's tilting Shield.

Finished Dreadnought: Plato's Man, Brother Captain Macilentus Crusis Gallus

The Dreadnought that the tech-priest puts you in when you skip leg day.

Also, family photo with all my dreads.

Lastly, a couple photos of the build process for this:

I got the dread body and gun from vinted for a fiver.

I had the first part of the sentinel sprue from the Combat Patrol magazine and was going to use this for another kitbash but once I got the idea for a chicken leg dread I needed to build it. A lot of time and sprue goo went into welding this thing together.

I ran out of transfers for the shoulders so tried using tape to mask off the shape. It didn't quite work out as well as I'd hoped but good enough for this very un-serious guy.
