Finally getting an airbrush compressor so I'm excited to try it out on these. But first I will build the Ork stompa a friend gave to me as a gift to practice on since at least any mistakes there will be fine.

Also, looking at your av, I was just chatting @ moola that I'm gonna get some sort of gundam to make into a fantastic Jojo character. The boots and high fashion huge shoulders already fit

gently caress Whitey posted:Is Mantic going to release models for Firefight There's still some Kickstarter product pending shipping, but the rumor I heard for the retail launch was April. But yes, there are tons of models for Firefight. Also Eldar and IG models slot pretty well into existing armies (GCPS and Asterians).

I had never heard of Firefight before now, so I looked it up and it looks pretty dope! Has anyone actually played it? Is it fun? I could see all my fellow ex-40k buddies getting back together for this if so.

DO IT TO IT posted:I had never heard of Firefight before now, so I looked it up and it looks pretty dope! Has anyone actually played it? Is it fun? I could see all my fellow ex-40k buddies getting back together for this if so. Someone was posting in the Mantic thread a week or so ago about their first games of it, and they were very positive. The rulebooks themselves are also super, super well-made (like, physically), if that counts for anything. The fluff itself is pretty decent too, despite some weird editing decisions in the setting sourcebook that was included in the Kickstarter, Don't confuse Warpath: Firefight with vanilla Warpath though. Vanilla Warpath is a multibased game that seems to have been Ronnie Renton's pet project, while Firefight is the 40k-but-good style game that the fans really screamed about wanting. I haven't seen really anyone at all talking about vanilla, and Firefight has been getting the majority of the attention from consumers (rightly so). This isn't to say vanilla Warpath is bad necessarily, it's just that Firefight is what the market wants.

You can use them as Asterians easily enough, though whether they end up making an army list closer in aesthetic and motivation to the Dark Eldar is less certain NTRabbit fucked around with this message at 20:20 on Jan 26, 2017 |

gently caress Whitey posted:Are they different models from Warpath or what No, Warpath and Firefight use exactly the same models, Firefight just uses less of them, and Deadzone also shares exactly the same models, except less again, and minus the large vehicles. A current Deadzone starter force has more minis than you need to play, and is actually a pretty good Firefight starter, just add a tank.

TheChirurgeon posted:So does Gundam Wing also fall into that group? because it feels like it should The Real Robot and Super Robot classifications aren't exact. There's a lot of overlap, especially nowadays, when most mecha anime takes a lot from both. But I'd classify Gundam Wing as real robot. The robots are purely mechanical, there's no magic or willpower involved. They are weapons of war, created by military engineers. The conflict is between opposing human groups fighting battles over ideals, there's no mad scientist trying to take over the world with dinosaurs. And some of the robots are mass produced, and act as part of a larger military force. All of those are hallmarks of the real robot genre.

TheChirurgeon posted:So does Gundam Wing also fall into that group? because it feels like it should Gundam Wing is boyband Sailor Moon with OP robots. I built a little Bearguy a few weeks back. The Panda. He is good but I haven't decaled or inked him yet. And now I want more of them so I can make Slasher Movie BEARGUYS. See the Panda has black eyes and without the stickers it just says MICHAEL MYERS. So now I want a small and adorable army of robot murder bears. I just need to find plug compatible machetes, butcher knives, and a gas mask because My Bloody Valentine was cool. (A retrogame shop chain carries Gunpla. I traded in some boxed Game Boy Pokeymans and got some Gundams and Atari 8 bit computer games and a couple Win 9x games. I kinda want to go back because they have an old SSI game boxed called Broadsides and they are carrying English language ps4 Singapore release games like Super Robot Wars, Gundam Breaker, and Wild Guns. So I have more games to not play because Bloodborne is truth.) Edit: Also SA does have a Gunpla thread that is quite active even if Broken Loose had a sperg fit over a Gundam show line a few days back. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=0&threadid=3678195&perpage=40&pagenumber=408#pti6 Since some of you are upset over model kits that are fun to build and aren't covered in more idiotic bling than a bad Mr. T parody.

Its easy to make articulated models when its all just flat panels with no detail on. I picked up a himock for the scale modelling thread challenge and I do not understand the hype at all.

I picked up a himock for the scale modelling thread challenge and I do not understand the hype at all. The Hi-Mock is by far the simplest design. It caught people's eye because of abnormally simple it is. If you want a similarly priced kit that's more complex, how about the Geirail?

Which is the right move since posing your little guy during a battle is dumb. (Why GW models are so expensive by comparison is, of course, inexcusable.)
