Yrkul Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 1 minute ago, DeMonkey said: I've got The Elder Scrolls: Call to Arms and Marvel Crisis Protocol which looks pretty similar. That's fun, but coming up with enjoyable scenery is not my forte, even with the bits I've bought. I see plenty of Star Wars Legion packs when I'm holidaying, but with how tight money is that might just be something I look at. Star Wars Shatterpoint looks pretty cool as well. As far as I can tell Legion is big tabletop battles, whilst Shatterpoint is smaller objective based battles with less (or no) restrictions on who can team up, which is definitely preferable to me. In any case, I take things at a relaxed pace, picking up a thing or two when the budget allows it. I'm going to paint for the next couple of months, until the heat sets in, then switch over to assembling and converting. The reason for this is, that it gets harder to paint in hotter environments, as the paint dries much faster, leaving streaks on surfaces and paint drying up on palettes. I also have some old Rackham figures from the Confrontation game, that I would like to use for other games as well. Thus my interest in minis agnostic systems. The One Page Rules games, for example looks promising, and more and more independent developers are putting their games out on the net as well. Blimey! That chamomile schnaps I was talking about... Pretty potent. I guess I'll go to bed now. Take care, my simian friend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to save up and get some expansions for it, I hear the Legendary Hunt expansion is really good by offering a new way of winning the game that people can take a chance on. I enjoyed playing it but the downtime was a little bit much and it almost felt like we spent 75% of the game leveling up and the final 25% slaying things as quick as we could, which is possibly not the intended way of playing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great find! How are the miniatures? In the pictures I could find, they look pretty good, but what's the material, durability etc? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume the monster miniatures are expansion only, or maybe kickstarter only? I'm not sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume the monster miniatures are expansion only, or maybe kickstarter only? I'm not sure. Ok. Plastic. Medium hardness, judging from how thin some of the blades are. Details are not Games Workshop grade, but still good enough that a good paint job will easily make up for it. Poses in general are nice and interesting. One could even make them more distinct with a black primer and grey drybrush alone: The deluxe edition has a bit more minis, though not at the bargain price you got, ya lucky bastard. 😆 And if they get enough sales through kickstarter, chances are they'll make enough for retail, seeing as you can get the base game on places like Amazon, of all places. Thanks for the gander, in any case. I should probably get back to finishing another batch of Blood Angels. (Red. Of all the chapters, I had to pick red.) 🤣 Edited April 18 by Yrkul Sperring error.

Have you seen the various Unmatched miniatures? They're honestly some of my favourite miniatures of any game, and they come like this too. Ghost Rider is a personal favourite. Picture stolen from the internet. Spoiler Makes me not want to paint them because I think they already look so cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also reckon they'll see more handling per game than the average Warhammer miniature, so wear will also be more pronounced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaHands Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Just gotta let this one out. Warning there is a little TMI but I need to rant into the void so I don't say something mean over the phone to someone just doing their job. Spoiler F*ck the US Healthcare System. I love having people that weren't in the room with my doctor and I making medical decisions for me. S U P E R cool. I'll be sure to mail them an envelope full of my decaying skin since obviously I don't need f*cking medication. God forbid they help pay a fraction back for what I've paid them for years.

Plenty of effects force movement, and if you're low on cards it's suicide to just stand in place when you could be running away. 3 hours ago, TeaHands said: Just gotta let this one out.

That is oddly cute. So many questions, though... Like, why use undies as a dishcloth? And did they catch Happosai? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaotyke Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 We doing funny things now? An old woman went to the clinic. Doctor: So, mrs. What is the issue? Granny: Well, you see doctor, I take a 💩 everyday at 7AM. Doctor: ... what is the problem, then? Granny: I wake up at 8AM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yrkul Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 One thing rather painfully evident in the usage of folk journalism is, that while you get a wide selection of perspectives and sources, the skill in comprehension and objectivity is woefully lacking. Sure, I can correllate information from a wide array of wannabe reporters, but most people don't have the time, energy or patience for this information landscape. And it is showing... /drunkenrant I hate insomnia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
