everythingWasBees posted:The desire for wealth is in reality a desire for the ability to fill your house with robots. This is pretty much spot on. I'm fortunate in that unlike my stupid gaming hobby, my wife's been doing a lot of robotics as part of her art practice. So, assuming "is a robot but isn't working at the moment" is sufficient to qualify as "a robot," there are in my house and garage right now, uh... um. Enough robots that I have lost count. More than ten?

same, but that's why people get them- bring two models, drink beer,make everyone else remove their models from the table besides, the whole game has basically turned into apocalypse anyway thanks to the LOW slot. at least in 30 gay it can't be more than 25% of your army

Is there actually any substantive rule differences between 30k and 40k? I keep hearing people saying how much better 30k is, are the rules different or is it just more expensive plastic soldiers?

Like cocaine... it doesn't feel like much when you actually do it, but you keep wanting more anyway. They also mastered of creating so much negative anticipation that customers fire sale armies they've had for years/decades.

It’s like a total conversion. Different FOC, different FOC rules, new units, new special rules, different weapons, you can choose to treat strength D weapons as S10 AP1, different missions, and only troops score. No dumb tactical objective cards, you get a single allied detachment, but you can use special FOCs that modify which units you can take. It’s a bit like a refined and up-scaled 6th edition. So it plays different and feels a lot more grounded than 7th. Comically enough the red books are cheaper than a new GW codex. If you stick to FW resin it ain’t cheap though. But really, who sticks entirely to FW resin anyway?

Moola posted:this is true tbh http://gundamguy.blogspot.com/2012/01/mega-size-148-gundam-age-1-normal.html This motherfucker is like a good foot and a half or more tall. You don't even need tools to assemble it. 120 bucks or so normally going for 82 dollars right now. 82 bucks isnt even two of the new Skit walkers that you basically need three of for a loving unit. At 66 bucks a model. And you really would want two of these 90-135 points a model units in your force. (2 in a squad with the gently caress AIRCRAFT gear with a gently caress MARINES build, and then the other with 1 gently caress AIR, and maybe 2 gently caress TANK builds.) But sure you can only take one. If you are a poor scrub who only wants a 6+ invul save. Keep a unit of three within 4" of each other and it goes up to a 4+. Yes. Oh, and one of the gently caress MARINES builds reduces cover saves when it hits. For a model that is about as big as the Imperial ship for X Wing I bought today that came prepainted, rules included, and assembled for 40 bucks. (Though the store had a roll D20% off today. I only got a 7. :failure: )

Anyone know what the most pricey model per point is? Bonus points (ha!) if it's near mandatory for an effective army.

Not sure. The Ironstrider Dragoon is pretty bad; 45 points base, $49. more than a dollar per point before upgrades.quote:Though warmachine is much worse. 54.99 for 6 points... 9.16 per point! Though 6 points is 12% of a standard tournament army in WMH, whereas 45 points is 3% of a 1500 point 40K army. I suppose it all depends on where you find value. Warmachine stuff is pretty loving expensive, for sure. FrostyPox fucked around with this message at 04:06 on Apr 16, 2015 |

I've figured out GW's strategy with the SoB! They have tons of back stock sitting around. They still sell metal sisters on their website. How long has it been since they produced metal models? If they raise the price on everything else to absurd levels, by comparison the SoB will be affordable!

Ok real question about these Gundams since they come up a lot when people complain about WM/H models as well - if you took one of those things and started using it as a game piece (regular handling, falls over occasionally) would it hold up or break instantly?

They pretty much just break apart at the joins due to not being glued so you can pop them back together fairly easily.

Depends on the kit and if you assembled it with cement or just snap fit. Some of them will shatter if you so much as look at then funny, but that seems to be the exception rather than the norm. Thankfully the parts rarely break, but they can come apart yeah. Cement, while making it look better, can help with this. Still, it's a problem you'll run into with most model robots since they're made to be poseable, which means the parts are still mobile and not rigidly secured.

If you are intending to use it as a game piece, you could always just glue the joints and affix it to the base, same as you would with a regular miniature.

Well, you know, if you don't want to get a Gundam? You can just go for one of THESE Dreamforge Kickstarted those robots a couple of years back, they are completely badass, articulated, you can swap their arms around for multiple weapons, and they ALSO come in a SKULL model for your SKULL needs. They are probably the right size too, seeing how one of them is just as large as my Stompa:  They are currently under 100 and the extra arms are at about 35 each. they also have a 15mm model that is $59 and $17.50 for extra arms.

The cooler designs are always the bad guy suits since all gundams have to pretty much share the same design aesthetic.
