yeah yeah @Lloyd you’ll find the salt on aisle 6 if you really want to rub it in. The table does look great though, hope to get a game in soon. Not sure how the single beserkers will work for you against a missile based army *coughs* Irish *coughs* but I’m more than happy to let you try 😉 It’s nice to see Justin channeling his inner cockle picker with that combo of jean shorts and flat cap I hope to never see it closer than the 6500km distance we’re currently at though. Looking forward to a weekend of Gencon… Read more »
yeah you missed that, we had a blast playing. Table was great to play on and playing without the battle boards was good fun.
haha wasn’t just me looking at Ben’s @brennon glasses for reflections LMAO
Berserkers were a waste of time, they all got slaughtered
you need to add some peasants to your force, they can run infront of the beserkers to take all the fire first
Well, that seems… Unfair!
Double barrelled shotgun would go nice with Justins outfit…maybe in a golfbag…!!
Have a good time on the other side of the ocean guys! looking forward to all the reports this weekend!
the stone circle is still there!
@Warzan have you tried glue stick or 3D Lac? to help the prints stick to the printbed.
I know that backgound sound, a yes a anycubic 3d printer, @warzan i have the new version of this printer, with a new printbed that realy is sticky, works realy good. i would order one, while using the old bed, 2 sided tape all over the heatbed works ok. Important with printing is heatbed temp, around 60 C, select brim instead of skirt, upgrade cura to 2.6 If you get the right settings, it is realy a great printer, if you any help plz contact me, you would not believe what i am printing right know, the groundplunderer, a look… Read more »
Think the disclaimer was good idea!!!!!
To combat adhering to the bed with a 3D printer we used a glue stick and then bought an enclosure to help prevent warping. You should also use a brim in that case.
Thingiverse (loads of tanks and scenery) look up Delving Décor on Thingiverse. Amazing stuff
For John loads of tanks at

I have a number of terrain pieces from Printable Scenery.com They even have Viking boats and Frigates for Blood and Plunder.
Getting into 3D printing is a learning curve. I am learning quite a bit about maintenance on my Lulzbot mini.
So they let them both enter the USA ?
I wonder if they’re allowed to return home afterwards …
The board looks great @Lloyd. No warping over that large area?
May be a good idea to stop at a mall on the way but not sure if Justin will come out better or worse dressed. 😉
That board looks absolutely amazing. I wish I could play on it! Might be worth reintroducing the battle boards but also giving each player a number of free activations. That way, you have no more than the standard number of dice to distribute, but you can still play with larger armies. The impact of the dice would obviously be diluted, but you’d still be able to trigger cool abilities, etc. I’ve often wondered – where are Dawn and Gianna’s segments shot? Is that awesome room of games a shop, a studio or someone’s house? Whose is all that stuff?
@Lloyd
If you’re caught short for SAGA battleboards again the shoot me a message and I’ll scan and email the ones you need.
Time to call INS and tell them about the illegal aliens.
Justin knows there’s not a golf course at GenCon, right?
Maybe there will be a fabled realms crazy golf course set up year 🙂
BOW go’s 3D.
I think they only made it as far as 2d from the test prints…
Believe it or not but hairspray works well to adhere things to the bed of the printer. I was given that tip by one of the local universities. I use rafts when I worry about the corners pulling up.
@warzan what filament are you using? ABS or PLA? If you are using ABS you need higher print bed temps. Also, use hair spray on your print bed. By the looks of if you have buildtac (black plastic looking layer) a quick spray of hair spray and then a wipe with rubbing alcohol will help with adhesion. I would consider using PLA as it requires lower temps and is easier to work with.
I second this! Hairspray or painters blue tape. I have a Prusa knockoff and it came with a roll of masking tape for the print bed.
I don’t think Justin is wearing shorts, or jeans. They are like… Jean Capris.
I think that playing Unfair without @dignity is adequate punishment for him wearing those trousers. o_0
What is the point of those anyway? They’re too short to be jeans, and way too long to be any kind of useful shorts. Wait, I know what happened. Justin was at the store and the sales lady was cute and told him that they looked good, so he bought them. 😛
@Dignity wears that hat and shirt really swell!
