Warhammer: Vermintide 2 – Winds of Magic marks the first time when developer Fatshark steps outside the realm of map-based DLC with its post-launch content. On paper, the first expansion to its excellent melee-focused co-op title sounds quite rich in content: a new randomized mode, a map and weapon type for each class alongside the mighty Beastmen as new opponents. But is it the shot in the arm that Vermintide 2 needs or does it fail to live up to expectations?

The crude, brutal nature of the new foes goes hand-in-hand with the rough aesthetics of the new map, however, the Beastmen themselves have a number of issues. Sadly, this system has its own flaws as replaying Weaves you ve already beaten yields a minuscule amount of Essence, which can become problematic once you hit a level you ve trouble overcoming.

The designs of Hallmark Magic Ornaments are diverse and cater to a wide range of interests and themes. From beloved characters from pop culture, such as Disney princesses or Star Wars heroes, to iconic holiday symbols like Santa Claus or snowflakes, there is a Magic Ornament to suit every taste. Collecting Hallmark Magic Ornaments has become a popular hobby for many people, with enthusiasts eagerly anticipating the release of new designs each year.

Bulk film roll: how to load film without a loader?

I really love HP5 plus so i want to use bulk film to save money. Those film loaders are somewhat pricey (cheapest loader i saw was 50€..getouttahere) so i want to look for alternatives Thanks in advance

I picked up three bulk loaders from eBay auctions. paid no more than £8.50 each. One even had about 70 feet of Kodak Tri-X in it.

You can load reusable cassettes without a bulk loader, but every time you open that packet of bulk film will have to be in a dark room or changing bag. If you can spend a couple of hours loading enough cassettes to use the entire bulk roll, then it might be an option. But most of us prefer to use a bulk loader, in which case the dark room/bag is only used to load and set up the loader. everything else is done in daylight - allowing you to load a few cassettes at a time.

Bear in mind that the cost of a brand new bulk loader and a few cassettes could be offset by just two or three 100 foot (30 metre) rolls. A used one will pay or itself the first time you use it.

I don't think theres anyway around it. You need a bulk loader for bulk loading film. Look at ebay or local classifieds, Im sure you can find one for cheap.

There are used ones around, and I would look for one.
That being said, there certainly are people who load without one. It involves having a reference so you can measure the length of the film, and most would do it in batches - several rolls at a time. I certainly wouldn't try it in a changing bag.

Photography is a complex and fluid medium, and its many factors are not applied in simple sequence. Rather, the process may be likened to the art of the juggler in keeping many balls in the air at one time!

Back in 1971 I didn't even know bulk loaders existed. Since I had no money, a friend gave me a 50' spool of expired film to get me started. For many years later this was my procedure:

- go into closet at night (all lights off in apartment)

- put wire coat hanger on high bar in closet

- open bulk roll, attach film to hanger with clothespins

- lay and secure bulk spool on small shelf (film still going up to hangar)

- attach two clothespins near to where film is coming off spool (one on each edge of film)

- holding film below lower clothespins, cut film with scissors (your fingers should hold film to prevent it snapping back onto roll, clothespins will weigh down the lower part of the film; at this point you've got a strip of film hanging down from the wire hanger)

- put bulk spool back in can

- put narrow wrapping (?) tape on bottom of 35mm film strip, remove lower clothespins, wind film onto 35mm spool, moving upwards towards hanger

- when done, insert spool into cassette

I've done this countless times for years, no mishaps, no damaged film, no dust. I didn't know exactly how many frames I would have this way - usually 20-22.

Primitive? Yes - but enjoyable (at least for my simple mind).

Yes, if you can lightproof a closet -- or have a darkroom -- I've dealt with this by driving a finish nail (or common nail with head cut off) into the door trim as high as I can comfortably reach and leaving about 1.5" (4 or 5cm) sticking out. Angle the nail about 45º off the wall so it is pointing away from the door opening (mostly for safety to avoid snagging). It is also be good to tilt the nail a few degrees upward so the spool tends to not slide off while working.

Then drive a small nail -- or more recently I used a thumb tack with a spherical plastic head -- into the door frame at an appropriate measurement below the big nail. In the dark you tape the end of the film to the spool and hang the spool on the upper nail, then unwind enough film from the bulk roll to get to the marker nail/tack. Cut the film at that point, roll it onto the spool, and stick it into the cassette -- done!

I won't say you can't screw something up, but it is a method. I did it that way decades ago as a money-challenged youngster, but also recently to check out a gift roll of very expired film. I can easily afford a bulk loader, but don't shoot enough 35mm to want to invest in or store an "official" setup for bulk loading.

1. John - 2/5 - The "Hallmwrk magic ornaments" were a big disappointment for me. The concept seemed great, but the execution was lacking. The ornaments were poorly made and looked cheap. The magic aspect was also underwhelming, as they didn't really do anything special. Overall, I was left feeling like I wasted my money.

2. Sarah - 1/5 - I cannot express how much I disliked the "Hallmwrk magic ornaments". The quality was horrendous, with the ornaments falling apart within a few days of hanging them on the tree. The supposed "magic" was a complete joke, as they did nothing different than regular ornaments. Save your money and avoid this product at all costs.

3. Emily - 2/5 - The "Hallmwrk magic ornaments" were a letdown. The idea of having magical ornaments on my tree excited me, but these did not live up to my expectations. The design was mediocre and the magic features were a gimmick. I found it hard to believe that these were worth the price I paid. Overall, I was unimpressed and wouldn't recommend them.

4. Mike - 1/5 - I regret purchasing the "Hallmwrk magic ornaments". Not only were they poorly made, but they also didn't provide any magical experience as advertised. The colors faded quickly, and some of the ornaments even broke before Christmas arrived. Do yourself a favor and find better quality decorations that actually meet your expectations.

5. Lisa - 2/5 - The "Hallmwrk magic ornaments" were a disappointment. The magic aspect was hardly noticeable, and the ornaments lacked the durability I expected.
