That Was A Chew On – Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra Screen Replacement

So a few weeks ago I broke the screen on my Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra, 100% my fault, I forgot to clean the tank after a print failure

So I bought a replacement screen, not cheap, but it was needed, and yesterday I fitted it, the instructional video is well, its this

You basically have to disassemble the entire machine to replace a CONSUMABLE part, its an absolute chew on and its an awful process

I am a big beliver in the right to repair, but this is the wrong way to go around it, I need 5 different sized allen keys, and there are so many different sized screw!

But I got it done and well its working, I was able to print out some Trench Crusade minis for Leon, but now I have run out of resin and won’t have anymore for at least a week!

What I Am Painting

I started out the week by painting Marshall Drier for the Death Korps of Krieg

Alongside a unit of Death Riders

After that it was a unit of Guardian Defenders for the Arldari

And then I added two units of Myrmidon Destructors that I 3D printed for my Mechanicum

Two sets of Myrmidon Destruxtors, one armed with Darkfire Cannons and the other with Converson Beamers, ready to unleash devastation for the Red Planet #WarhammerCommunity #Warhammer30k #Mechanicum #MyrmidonDestructors

It was a loss, I am struggling to score in later turns so considering adding in some 10 men Lasrifle Sections in a mix of Arvus Lighters and Aurox’s

Plus dropping some Vanquishers for Demolishers, the Vanquisher is very unreliable in 3.0 whereas the Demolisher is proving to be a lot more able to hit and do damage

On Friday I played a game of 40K against a kid at Hartlepool gamers, using this list

And it did not go well for me, the space marines continue to have a lot of tools I cannot counter very well with what I have right now

The game was basically over at turn 3 when he took out the vast majority of my army

Was a good game nonetheless, and I am really starting to learn what I can do with my stuff

What I Am Backing

The Cube Mod Carrier delivered and I have printed the first but from it, a mini cube I want to use as a hobby case able to carry my rule books, dice, tape measures etc

What I Am Spending

I got myself 4 extra copies of issue 77 of Combat Patrol for an extra 4 squads of Cadian Heavy Support Squads, so I will be able to field a squad of each weapon

One purchase had 3 sets and I had ti purchase one as a standalone

I also picked up issue 1 of Spearhead, I am collecting an extra set of the Skaven issues for one of my nephews who is interested in the Rats!

I bought 4kg of filament to print some terrain for the club, just some basic black

And I purchased for myself, Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition on Steam, alongside Kamaeru: A Frog Refuge


An Upgrade To The A1

With it being the Black Friday sale on Bambu Labs, Megan and Lindsay decided to pay for an upgrade to the printer with an AMS Lite.

The AMS Lite is a system that allows the A1 to print with up to 4 different reels of filament, so this can be either the same filament so you don’t need to reload when you run out, or four different colours for multi-colour printing.

Given the space constraints, we opted to mount it above the printer, which meant I had to first print the materials for that. I do find it cool that instead of selling you the top mount with moulded plastics, they just sell you the screws and give you the STL to print it yourself, we opted for white to match the printers overall look

The AMS arrived on Thursday, we also ordered a cool plate for better adhesion when printing PLA, which is the material we most commonly print with, and a stick of glue to give that a try.

But alas that package was delayed until Friday, one of the few times DPD has delivered a parcel later than promised to us.

So we set it up temporarily next to the printer

The Cool Plate and glue are pretty decent, so that should help with some adhesion issues we occasionally have

Paul took advantage of our order and got a new hot end and a textured plate in the order to save on postage costs for him

My first real test of the AMS was something for the Christmas box that I cannot show off, yet

The screws eventually arrived

So we were able to get the AMS top mounted at last and the machine now looks the part

Also printed off a few other upgrades for it as well

What I Am Modelling

I started out by painting a Command Section for the Solar Auxilia, which as per usual contains an extra Legate Marshall

Then I painted Terminator Librarian of the Grey Knights for Combat Patrol

And some Brotherhood Terminators to accompany him

And I followed that up squad of Death Korps of Krieg Lascannon Heavy Weapons Teams

After that I painted up a squad of Eradicators to add to the Dark Angels

I then did some work on some more members of the Red Brigade

Starting with the most important unit of the army, a Trench Dog

Followed by a couple of models I will be using as Lieutenants

Then a Shocktrooper

And a Combat Medic

A Sniper Priest

And Sniper Prioress

And finally three Yeomen

And finally for now, I rebased my Tempestus Scions to merge together my two Astra Militarium armies

Until now I have had a Krieg force and a Scions force both with a different basing scheme, but now I have merged the armies together and the Scions basing has been changed to match the Krieg


So what’s up next!

  1. Blood Angels Landspeeders
  2. Heretic Legion Warband
  3. Imperial Fists Macharius
  4. Ardboyz x 10
  5. Tzzangors x 20

  7. Lord Vigilant on Gryph-Stalker
  8. Endrinmaster with Dirigible Suit

  10. Hearthkyn Warriors x 10

What I Am Reading

I finished Death or Glory by Sandy Mitchell which was incredible and then I listened to Duty Calls as an immediate follow up which is also incredible

After that I listened to Night Thoughts by Edward Young, which was very creepy

I also read Gorechosen by Andy Clark and The Eighth Victory by Grahame Lyon both of which were great little reads

What I Am Cooking

I am cooking Christmas dinner this year, but alas the family are uncertain as to my proposed menu

So we had to trot up to my sisters in law to prepare the dishes for people to try on a Sunday dinner

I am making garlic roast potatoes (been asked to change these to bigger potatoes from my preferred new potatoes), spiced roast carrot, parsnip, onion and leeks, honey glazed red cabbage (normally I would add sultanas but the family hate them, to be fair so do I), and buttered sprouts with chestnuts and almonds

Thankfully it all went down a treat, although I am being strong-armed into serving broccoli and Yorkshire Puddings !

What I Am Spending

I picked up this pot of Vallejo Thick Mud European Mud to try and replace Stirland Battlemire/Mud, it’s not a great match.

But with a coat of Brigadene Brown it will pass

Will still need Stirland Mud for tank treads however for the Astra Militarium

I managed to get hold of a copy of issue 60 of Combat Patrol for some

And to add to my video games library, I bought a Humble Bundle to aid the Trevor Project that got me Life is Strange Remastered and Life is Strange: Before the Storm Remastered

I also bought What Remains of Edith Finch, cause it’s a great little game!

It was Humble Choice this week and that got me


Must Do More

I have gotten back on track, but I do need to do more with my life!

The photo of Cassius is just cause I wasn’t sure what to use here and he is a very handsome boy!

I have been asked to do some more Combat Patrol Battle Reports, so perhaps that is on the table!

But that is about it this week, oh and needing to do more does include housework!

What I Am Modelling

I started off painting a Ratling which was Octobers mini of the month!

I followed that up with these Firestrike Servo Turrets for my Dark Angels, both armed with Lastalons

Then I painted these Krieg Heavy Weapons Teams with Autocannons (though in game they will count as Cadian Heavy Weapons Teams)

And then I painted up this Dracosan

And an Arvus Lighter to go along with it!


So what’s up next?

  1. Blood Angels Landspeeders
  2. Red Brigade Warband
  3. Grey Knights Terminator Librarian & Brotherhood Terminators x 5
  4. Heretic Legion Warband

  7. Ardboyz x 10
  8. Tzzangors x 20
  9. Guardian Defenders x 10
  10. Lord Vigilant on Gryph-Stalker

What I am Reading

I finished Manflayer by Josh Reynolds which was quite good, but I get the feeling that he had more places to go with the series, shame he no longer works with Black Library.

I read The Prodigal by David Annadale, which was short sweet and very bloody!

Then I read A Song for the Lost by Robbie MacNiven which was very good, it was a really interesting approach to take.

I am now listening to Death or Glory by Sandy Mitchell, which is as I remembered very good so far!

What Tabletop Games I Am Playing

I played Dale in our Combat Patrol league game, of course he beat me, he is one of the best players I have ever encountered in the game

Last Sunday I played a couple of games with Megan, first up Pandemic: Hot Zone – North America, which was a game that went very well as we got it sorted pretty simply and won

Then we played Ticket to Ride: Berlin, and I beat Megan in that game!

What Video Games I Am Playing

Not much this week, a bit of Ticket to Ride and I have started a Baldur’s Gate III campaign with Chris & Graham

What I Am Creating

I tested out my hobby desk streaming setup with a stream in which I built a StuG III for Bolt Action Ausf. G

What I Am Spending

Saved some money for Warhammer Day so that I could get that fancy leather dice pouch, and bought myself the Legions Imperialis Starter Set

I also picked up Battle Sister on Steam given that it was under £5 on sale


War of the Worlds

This Saturday I went to see the stage adaptation of Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds at the Utilita Arena in Newcastle, the ticket was a birthday present from Paul.

We had tea at the Metrocentre And made our way over the river to the arena where we joined a very big queue, which did thankfully move pretty quickly.

We had a bit of a wait so I read my book for a bit, it was a full 90 minutes till the show started

And it was a hell of a great show, been wanting to see this for a long time and I am so glad I was able to.

They had Charlie Simpson from Busted singing the narrators parts, and he was really good.

The guy performing as the Artilleryman was particle good, that was Rou Reynolds from Enter Shikari, a band I have now gotten a few albums for!

We also learned that Lindsay has never listened to the album, and she only knew The Eve of the War, not even Forever Autumn, so we have been introducing her to it, and in the car this morning, we ended just before Thunder Child.

What I Am Modelling

I started off with the Tyranids getting a second Psychopage to add to their forces

I then painted some Tempestus Scions to complete their Combat Patrol, starting with two Tempestors with Power Fists and Bolt Pistols, four Scions with Grenade Launchers and three Command Squad Scions with Hotshot Lasguns

And just as an added bonus a Tempestor Prime with Bolt Pistol

I then painted up a Brutalis Dreadnought for the Blood Ravens

Followed by another Brutalis for the Ultramarines

I also painted a squad of Retributors for my Sisters of Battle

Finished painting a squad of Retributors for the Argent Shroud, armed with 2 Multi-Meltas and 2 Heavy Flamers#Warmongers #WarhammerCommunity #PaintSlam25 #Warhammer40k #Warhammer40000 #AdeptaSororitas #Retributors #ArgentShroud #PaintingWarhammer #PaintingWarhammer2025

What I Am Reading

I listened to Catch-1782 by Alison Lawson which was a great little Six and Mel story that took a look at the Grandfather Paradox in an interesting way.

I have now started on Assassinorum: Kingmaker by Robert Rath which is pretty enjoyable thus far

Still making my way slowly through The Saint by Dan Abnett and I am almost finished with Straight Silver.

Scions are a favourite army of mine, but I haven’t played them since 7th Edition when they had their own codex.

Struggled to figure out how I would run them in 10th, but my addition of some Leman Russ tanks plus a few more Scions has given me a lot more options to try.

My first game was against Eds Aeldari, and his Aspect Warriors tore apart my army bit by bit and in turn 3 basically removed all but the squad inside the Valkyrie

Ed is a really good player, so I didn’t stand much of a chance against him to be honest, but he is a lively guy to play with so it’s not too bad

My second game was against my pal Leon and his T’au, which featured a lot of Kroot, and the first couple of turns were pretty good, I managed to focus fire on a Commander and a squad of Battlesuits and eliminated them.

The second turn saw me destroy a second Commander and Battlesuit Team, but turn 3 saw the tough Kroot Rampagers tore apart tanks, Taurox Primes and left my Scions to be slaughtered

My last game of the day was against Ian’s Emperors Children, who are very much WIP

His force was very effective and in turn 2 eliminated the vast majority of my army, and my dice really failed me, whilst his were really very good.

So once again I got the wooden spoon, but that’s fine cause I had a lot of fun and played with some cool people

What I Am Spending

A bulb in the kitchen blew, so we decided to grab some smart bulbs for it.

It’s not just a case of laziness but often I can’t carry things and turn on the lights, my disabilities can often be rather limiting.

I also finally got Unbroken after paying for an annual subscription to Warhammer+

Can’t wait to get this model painted up

And to add to my Combat Patrols, the Grey Knights Combat Patrol box from Gamers-At-Hart

I got the first tier of the Humble Heroines 2025 bundle and that got me:-

And Humble Choice netted me:-

And I also bought myself
