Yeah, I bought extra sets just so I could run ten many squads of any heavy weapon.

Also I spend too much money on space Barbies.

You could always do what Bolt Action does, with alternating random activations. Of course, that would defeat the purpose of shortening the game as it would take forever.

Star Wars Legion is doing that, with orders to allow you to select a specific unit at key moments. I'm looking forward to try that out.

Epic was a really good game and it's a shame they massively hosed it up then killed it in favour of LotR.

LotR was a really cool game (with a really limiting setting) that died when they ran out of book material and switched it to be an army scale game.

System would have been great for AoS or another fantasy skirmish game.

I think the top of the day is helpful, however it does tend to be repetitive. I think they're more for using the shortcuts you want to do for TT quality or when you have a lot to paint. I miss the videos where there were other techniques I wouldn't have thought of, like when he did Nagash.

Goddamn it forgeworld. I want to order a bunch of stuff, but your shipping is so expensive I want to get the astraeus at the same time. It was announced weeks ago and featured in this month's white dwarf, why isn't it released yet?

Have any of you ever used the proxy sisters from Fox Box?



Are they inherently horrible models, or are they just average quality with a really bad paint job?

I mean I can see there's a reduction in detail compared to GW models but I would just be using these for games with a friend

It's funny, I have a 2005 or 2006 price sheet from Games Workshop at home. The one thing I remember is Space Marine Terminators were $50 back then too.

I can't imagine anything would be cheaper.

I just use a little bit of poster tack, seems easier than magnetizing.

No idea what the best method is but I:

Cut the arm-posts down so that you can stack two of your magnets on the end and still have the arm sit flush against the body when pushed on. Glue one magnet down on the end of the arm post. Glue another magnet inside the hole on the arm piece (make sure you have the polarity right). Let the glue dry, ta da!

This is with a resin dread though, I've not done this with the plastic kit.

Would probably also be way easier with a drill-bit of the same width as your magnets.

I like my shuriken cannon exarchs! I use them as ablative wounds for the reaper squad because they're so cheap.

Man, if I had to guess I'd swear these were something like 15mm scale, that's where you usually see those kinds of chunky proportions. Either way, I think it's both - not only do the minis lack detail, they are also painted pretty poorly. The "chainmail" bits are just given a messy drybrush, and the highlights on the armor are pretty slap-dash. The faces are "gently caress it, flesh-wash is close enough!", and the bases are monocolor (though at least they have texture).

Props for not being boob-armor, though.
