S.J. posted:Oh, gotcha. Yeah I definitely don't have access to Mk.1 Prime. I do have the IKRPG though, but it's been a little while since I've read through the fluff. I managed to find the MK1 books via about 6 months ago, I have then on a thumb drive somewhere. Interestingly enough, the painting guides involved Vallejo and GW paint for the warmachine book. By the time hordes came about the P3 line existed, and they haven't changed since. Actually the only full book I failed to find was Convergence, and it was just the model stats

Pyrolocutus posted:I've played both Cygnar and Legion quite a bit, and I think Cygnar also profited handsomely from Mk3. Legion is still good I think, but people are having to sort out what constitutes the new Legion. Having our Shepherds go from removing all fury to one, even with a +1 to their field allowance, is making something of a difference. I do have to say that of the 3 factions I have in progress, Legion is the one that I'm most motivated to paint.

GoodBee posted:I find beasts a little easier to paint than jacks. I like painting organic stuff like skin, fur, hair, etc. better. But then again wings are a little harder to paint than, um, not wings? Yeah, definitely, the more details there are, the easier it is to hide mistakes. Jacks have a lot of large flat surfaces.

Finally picked up a mk3 Menoth and Legion starter box. Definitely impressed with what they did with them, and I kinda wish PP would start using these colored plastics for their plastics from here out. Anyway, I read the fiction in the faction booklets. I love how that fat bastard is a hateful piece of poo poo while Kryssa seems like a patriot eager to prove herself. I've never really read fluff before, is this pretty standard for PP?

Friendly Fire posted:I'm not sure this is true. The coloured Jacks in my Battle Box were(to my eyes anyway) almost identical to the others I have bought. Maddox seemed to have less sharp detail but that could just be mold issues or something. I agree, I had most of the MK3 Battle Box models previously, and they're pretty close to the same as the grey restic, or in the case of my shredders, I'd say the colored ones are actually better than the ones I got from the MK 2 box.

Iceclaw posted:Mine were in good condition. However, what are those faction and painting leaflets? Mine had the rulebook, dices, focus token, a template for a wall, the playmat and a cardboard ruler. Uh, it's a booklet, it has about 5ish pages of fiction about your warcaster/warlock, an overview of the models in the box, a section on ideas on how to expand your Battle Box to 75 points, and a section on painting taken straight from the faction books in MK 2 give or take a section or two.

Iceclaw posted:Okay. Either it's a mispack, or Victoria Games, which handles WMH's "translation" and distribution in my country blows even more than I thought. Unfortunately it's probably Victoria games then, the rulers here are the crappiest part of the box being a cheap flimsy plastic.

Hra Mormo posted:I bet if you took those things on tour you'd encourage at least one potato-looking gigasperg with a wispy attempt at facial hair into modeling quarter-inch bumpers to all his bases and citing yours as a precedent for why they would be tournament legal. I've wanted to get a set of acrylic cylinders in the dimensions that are used in game for WMH models and they would definitely eliminate things like this. Of course the concept I had behind it was more for checking heights, and for base to base on models that are difficult to get that close to in sections. Basically a temporary proxy when the need arises. The problem is, the diameters are not standard in acrylic cylinders.

HJE-Cobra posted:Sadly I'm not as interested in the new warcaster in the box, I'd kinda rather get that big paladin guy, Grand Exemplar Kreoss, Feora2, or the floating teenager. But I guess a guy holding a book is okay. Looks like a decent box deal either way. The new boxes are phenomenal deals TBH

Its just kind of a hit or miss thing, you need to be selling at the same time someone else is looking for a whole army for that faction. I sold off all my 40k stuff by dumping it off at a game store because I didn't feel like putting in the effort to sell it my self. They actually gave me more credit because I sorted and labeled everything, but YMMV

Fyrbrand posted:Guildball was hot for like 2 months around here. (to be fair, it was hot with like, 10-12 people maybe.) Now it's completely died out. I'm not against the game in theory. But if I'm going to get into a minis game, I have to be into the aesthetics. And none of the teams interested me enough in that way. I bought two teams with part of the money I got for selling my 'hams so I could try it out and whatnot, but I never actually did anything beyond priming them. Of course part of that is because I was unemployed and ran out of Adderall. I can't wait to get on my new job's insurance so I can paint again

There's more to Tabletop at least, because even if it's a dead game you can still get some enjoyment from the modelling aspect (if you're one of those people).

One thing I've always wanted to do is make a diorama that doubles as an army display, so if it piques me enough and the KS price is right, I might finally get around to it. Narrator: He didn't.
