Feel free to bid on it (zero bids at the moment) or just send me a PM if you're interested but don't want to go through eBay.

Worth grabbing and parting out a few? $150 CDN :/ The local ads I've seen selling pieces of the kit have wanted some pretty high prices. Not sure if they're moving, but at least they're setting the bar high with things like: just the warboss for $30, space wolf half for $100, or the mini book for $40.

WhiteOutMouse posted:Playing on the Frontline mat is awesome since the pad is covered in that cotton/canvas material, which not only rolls smooth and soft but also mutes the clatter of the dice to a soft pitter patter. I've used one of my Frontline mats once so far, but someone being able to dump a dozen dice at once onto the surface, hardly make a sound and not lose a dice to the floor was pretty nice. Plastic, vinyl, resin or custom wood/foam sheets or modular tiles are always going to have a place, but these mousepad mats are the thing of the future for portable gaming surfaces, they really are.

This page needs some pictures. Here's my Riptide conversion I've been working on for a while, I think he's nearly ready for basing and painting.    Pretty happy with how his shoulder cannon turned out. What do you guys think of the fingers?    Too simple?

Once the new DV hits those rulebooks won't be as valuable, that's my only concern. My 8 year old daughter was in the store with me though and kept asking me about Orks. She seems to like Killa Kans alot...

I'd either ditch the head entirely, or do something about the collar. Maybe a domed head ala Armored Trooper VOTOMS. 2. The left-sided chest piece is crooked. Fix that poo poo, bro. 3. The fingers are alright in concept, but I gotta ask: are you using white foam? Because if so that's a horrible idea, and should be replaced with plasticard or similarly-sized bits. 4. I feel like the big stonkin' gun could do with an extended barrel or something, it's kinda stumpy. However, it does give the impression that he just fired it and is rearing back a little from the kick it gave off (lol plasma having a kick), so it's not too bad I guess. Otherwise I think the idea is fuckin' baller.

WhiteOutMouse posted:I have one of each. The frontline is made out of a durable heavy 1990's mouspad type of material versus the thin 'halloween mask' type rubber Zuzzy uses. The corners of the Zuzzy curl and crinkle badly and make standing on the board edge impossible. I saw some beautiful 2/3rd edition necrons fall off the table because of those drat creases. Yeah my mates have a Zuzzy board as well. I hear you about the occasional creases, but I never felt that the dice bounced around that badly. Maybe I am a weak dice thrower?

The chest piece is actually on correctly, I agree it looks wonky but that's how the kit fits together. I might rip it off and make it symmetrical now you pointed it out though! Yeah the fingers are just foam as a test, gonna replace those with green stuff, maybe with more articulation if I can manage it! I'm gonna stick with the small head because I like how much bigger it makes his chest and body look, but agreed on the neck plate, gonna try that off.

Moola posted:This page needs some pictures. I like how you chose a unique way to mount the ion cannon thingy but it feels off balance. Maybe add in an arm piece or the other shoulder to give it more breadth. I never liked mounting such a bigass weapon on a dinky arm, so I like your premise. Fingers look good from the front but not the back. Would look better with the second "thumb" removed.

Workin on a silly dred mob style list... anyone know if stompas can still transport dreds or kans? I remember they used to, but cannot find any reference to it now. Also, I assume FW haven't said yet if/when the dred mob army list will be updated? Still appears to work as is.

You can have the entire army in reserve if you want, though keep in mind that if you have nothing on the field at the end of a game turn (not player turn, game turn) then you automatically lose.

I'm in Michigan so shipping wouldn't be too bad if you're in Canada. One of my favorite shops was supposed to get a few sets recently, I'll check ... soonish. I'm a trusting person and Paypal is the devil so you can send a check if I find a set for ya. Note to everyone: when you ship international mark the package as a GIFT. One of my clients got burned by a substantial fee when I sent his minis to him a couple years back. Lesson: learned, difference: made.  Moola posted:Have some lovely camera phone pics: The gun is the shoulder.  I get it now, I thought I was looking at the front and back of the same fist, since they're so similar. I thought you had put a thumb on both sides of the robit fist. Post 9-11 User fucked around with this message at 23:05 on Jul 24, 2014 |

There should be some kind of rule where you can't hold an objective that you've crushed with a metal loving pod you dropped out of orbit.

If you don't set up objectives near your own table edge and/or don't deploy at least some troop models near an objective against a drop pod army of at least twelve drop pods I don't know what to tell you. If a player splits their forces six ways they're going to have a tough time fighting against a more cohesively deployed army, even if they make all the scatter rolls. I would welcome an opponent literally only fielding half their army first turn whose deployment they can only vaguely control.

Drop Pod Alpha Strike lists are really incredibly annoying to play against. It's not that it's difficult to beat ( it is depending on what type their playing), it's just really goddamn annoying.
