Moved into a fixer upper last year and started to plan on what we want to change. One of the big things is the stairs, as you can see they are dated and in need of a revamp.

However, I’m not sure how to approach it, here are a few things;
- the space under the stairs has a radiator. Ideally that wouldn’t be there but it’s the only one in the hall and to move it across the room we’ve been quoted £700/800+ VAT. Concerned if we do it will eat into the hall space too much.

- Updating the stairs and landing. We have a 5 month old, and right now before he is moving I want to make sure these aren’t climbable. Also want to give them a modern look as well. Still have the carpet in the middle (change it) but looking into filling those holes and doing something with the sides. Would it be cheaper to just replace the whole thing though?

- landing railings. Same with the stairs themselves, just need updating.

We like the look of last photo, but as this is our first time doing anything of this scale, unsure as to how to get from gross old stairs to nice looking ones.

Doing a transfer sweep on a lot of recently painted models. A while ago I painted a squad of Veteran’s with Disintegrators, but I’m unfamiliar with Horus Heresy, so not sure what to paint or transfer these guys should have on their right shoulder.

I’ve yet to dive into HH, but wanted these to be my test models for it.

Now, this isn’t a “will the Lancer be legends?”, stand down from the reset button!

“Do you think we’ll see a 40K version of the Lancer?”

Hear me out: maybe a different loadout, an additional ranged weapon, essentially just a “40K upgrade sprue” for the lancer.

It’s not unheard of, there have been two of the same units but with different loadouts across HH & 40K. Heck, the Baneblade will probably be useable in 30k now that sprue is being sold separate (not ideal, disgusting practice).

A little rocket pod or something ok the top maybe?

Anyway, just a thought, here is my Lancer, I call him “Sir Fails-a-Charge”. Need to still do Custom House decals (any tips on printing them off would be great?)

Currently sat here looking at the World Eaters stuff on… a certain site and just would be so nice to look at a potential army that I would like to get into and pick up their codex cheap digitally.

Sure there are alternatives as mentioned above, but sometimes I just want to build a cool army idea in the app. The UX on the app isn’t perfect, but way better than anything else out there on the App Store.

I would be so down for a 3 Tier system of how to get codex and rules. Obviously “rules should be free” is a thing, but you’re not going to drop the a money maker like codexes.

In a perfect world it would be this:

Digital: £10
First of all, £10 is the MOST I think anyone would pay for a digital codex. I don’t think it should be that much, but come on, realistically GW doesn’t know that things related to 40K and a price below double digits is a thing.

To get around iOS/ Android tax you buy them from the GW site and they are tied to that account, or sent as an email. GW will need to do some back end for the former to work smoothly (currently not a thing) but it could work.

You get instant codex rules for the army straight away.

Standard: £15-25
Again, price is the biggest factor here. This is your stripped down codex. Next to no lore, bare bones approach to the game. It comes with the digital code like above but you now have a physical book to bring along. Nothing massive, basically what they have done with the 11th core rule book, a small A5 book to bring along.

Collectors: £40-75
This is where all your lore, your fluff and if you’re feeling fancy, extra bits of tat live. I’ve priced this WAY too low I think, but it’s reasonable. All hard back as well, adds that flair.

Like the 10th campaign books this comes in a box with a selection of books and bits:
- lore book
- game book (same as above, just fancier cover)
- data cards (fancier versions)
- digital code
- Bonus physical tat (coin, seals)

Now, scalpers are the problem here so you know what GW can do; Made to order. First two weeks of the codex going live you can order it, within 180 days you’ll get your beautiful fancy codex (could even be numbered if GW wanted to be super fancy).

Each person that orders the codex gets the digital code sent to them straight away, so they don’t have to wait for it to arrive.

This gives players the chance to play what they want, removes the scalper issue and you get all the fancy all stuff.

Will this happen? Probably not, but it would be neat if it did. Anyway, here is a quick mock up of what I thought it could be as well.

I’m stoked for 11th, but struggling to work out how those templates would work with my existing terrain.

A lot of the big stuff I’ve got might be too large for those templates, or just not fit at all.

Do I even need the templates as well?
