Happy Sunday CoGs and OTTers!
About 15 years ago Essex Miniatures staff were tested for lead poisoning because they were working in an environment containing lead dust in some case for 20+ years. None of the staff had any side effects from constantly being inat environment.
Be nice to see a scientific study into if there’s any side effects from 3D printing rather than some paranoid bloke on you tube waffling on
@warzan The weight of the sleepers and sink is the perfect excuse to get a hoist and pulley system installed in the shed
We were tested at GW in the 90s. It was precautionary for most of us (I was just a mail order troll). Only the casters were considered even remotely at risk.
On the subject of WAR, I like games that give me something to do during the opponents turn, otherwise I can easily zone out.
I’m sure Jerry’s jet was based on the Firefox in the Clint Eastwood movie..
You would probably be correct. But remember you have to think in russian
Da!
I have my printer in my den and the door is usually open. I use water washable resin. It doesn’t smell that bad but I don’t use gloves and my hands are starting to smell like a man who rolls their own cigarettes. Mmmmm resin. Wife notices the smell but I don’t
I’d paint those dinos as red zoids
Funny enough the art is green armour but I’ve saw some painted in red and they look well
It’s the XLBS Show let the lunacy begin.
Just say out of the Fog Warren.
Garry dirt? a relative to the shit monster in Dogma ?
Stick dice is that not when you are being beat a you win by the stick.??
Good one guy’s.
I think the chess clock works with “hand in the bag”, it just needs to be formalised. The active player’s turn ends with their drawing an activation die. They flip the clock if it’s the opponent’s dice. You’d need a pause to gather the dice for the next turn though.
Happy Sunday.
Loved the projects this week.
Sunday, warm.
00:00 Don’t tinker with mechanics you don’t understand. Hence why I do not temper with rules. Now on to the show.
08:20 Harrison Ford is the best carpenter @lloyd @warzan
14:20 3D printing will sort out the weak hobby people XD
18:15 This is getting American scale of ridiculous with weights and stuff…
19:50 golden boys!
23:00 Bot War Bot War Bot War
30:15 Dirty Garry?
53:30 Stick deez dice up yours… XD
1:06:00 the eyes are hills
1:13:00 I’m not giving my feet back! Those are my feet! I need them
See you lot next time.
Love the bot wars miniatures
Speaking of tinkering with the rules has anyone done any more with
RAZED – Fate Of A Galaxy, amazing start but seam to stall.
Thank you for the butt-butt-ding. Much appreciated. The power dice and skill dice does make the game really interesting mechanics wise. My son says he might play a PvP game with me soon, but enjoying preparing for the next solo scenario for now.
Thanks again. Really came at a great time in my weekend. And Commodore Rob was the one to tell me I’d won the button… Which was nice (Fast Show stylie).
@warzan and @avernos 7TV uses event cards that let you know when one act ends and another begins. It’s card mechanic and various events are grouped into acts and one of the events ends the act so you never now precisely when an act will end. In the third act instead of having units have a random number of actions instead have units with better training have more actions. Or allow units in reserve come in during the third act and since they’re fresh, they still have two actions. This will give players a real dilemma. Put everything on the… Read more »
For Lloyd, the Bot War Red Star Nations cyborgs are clearly inspired by Centurions Doom Drones, and original sculpts were very reminiscent of Doc Terror and Hacker
Thanks for the Golden Button, just to clarify the B/Tech boards are an old build that I dug out as I am currently planning on a new updated version. Congratulations to the other button winners. I like how this brings my attention to projects I may have missed. Well deserved. I recently had the pleasure of a Conquest demo and rather liked how that activation system worked. Building a deck that you play with and having units arrive on the battlefield in stages, but then I also like the Wargods of Aegyptus system of planning units actions out at the… Read more »
