It's baffling that they actually wrote knocked down to include the Never Engage/Engaged language. They could fix both problems by making your Knocked Down condition only active on your turn. So a KD model can't Engage, but could be Engaged. Instead, they're knee-jerk removing Engaged from charges and leaving the other stuff to hang.

This thing with Engaged and Knocked Down is also shedding light on the cracks in the Infernals ruling system. Having one guy rule one way, then the opposite way, on interactions with the same rule is beyond inconsistent. The flaw is in how Knocked Down is written, and the "fix" removes Charge's interaction with Engaged - By describing Engaged while avoiding the keyword. It's an unfortunately poor choice, especially when people are still forming first impressions in a transition. An actual fix would be to allow the acting player to choose whether his models Engage with a knocked-down model. Fixing a problem for some situations (but not others) is exactly how you end up with clumsy, confusing gotcha mechanics and D&D Next.

Aw dang, I just noticed Deryl no longer extends Morty's control area. I'm actually pretty ok with changes like that, even if it means keeping Stalkers on a shorter leash.

My pet theory is that Theme Lists are going to be ad hoc balance tweaks. Like when we hit November and nobody is playing something, it'll get a theme list. Which explains why they're not discussing them - it would acknowledge problems, and that's not something PP is great at.

I feel like Parasite and Dark Shroud mean Agathia's strength is standing next to something to give it -5 ARM. But at the same time, you'd hope casters were capable of greater things - and you still need to commit something stronger than her to the actual attack. Those stack, right?

Khisanth Magus posted:For what its worth, PP said that the mk3 bb colored plastic is the same mix as their normal plastic with something to color added. Any issues are most likely from wear on the restic molds, which are not as durable as the forced injection polystyrene molds that they have started using on a few models. For Cryx at least, the caster is definitely a different blend than the warjacks. With the jacks, you can scrape moldlines clean, but the softer material in the caster feathers when you try to clean it up.

That's what I thought at first, but it seems to consistent throughout the (small number) of starter boxes I've handled. The casters just seem to have more 'spring' to them than the jacks.

I was legit excited to try it, but not $75 (plus $20 DLC) excited. So I printed the free PDFs which seem kind of worthless since I still don't have the game cards, counters, or the unit cards. And somehow now I'm more excited for LotR battle companies, which isn't free at all.

Sorry, I was misreading. $15 isn't bad for rules and cards, I'd probably have picked that up if I saw it at my LGS. But getting chiseled on the faction cards is still a weak, poor choice.

The rulebook and game cards are an online exclusive, the unit cards and stats are exclusive to War Room, and the free rules are useless without both sets of cards.

muggins posted:I'm not really seeing the issue. They even fixed their shipping costs so the total for the rules and cards was like $18 and it shipped fast. The issue is accessibility. If I could walk into my LGS and drop $15 and play it, I would. So would most of my local WMH scene. But we can't. It's an online exclusive. I don't particularly want to order from PP, and I especially don't want to pay shipping on top of purchasing the rulebook (that I printed out.) And then re-buying a bunch of nearly identical unit cards in WR. You have to jump through multiple hoops, and there's currently zero interest in doing that in my area. And if nobody else is, why should I? The game basically launched to a stillborn community here. Granted, the hurdles are comparatively low, but they're still hurdles. Necromunda didn't present itself as a free game and then make you order rules from GW direct and their app store.

It's probably a dirty rinse leaving a layer of dilute resin that won't cure right. That'll get into detail and remain tacky forever. And those lines are from incorrect (or non-existent) antialiasing settings. These are both common rookie mistakes, but they could partner with Shapeways or Cults or MMF and any option would put better looking figures on tables. It'd also be possible to just scan the old library and keep the classic figures as PoD forever. If they knew what they were doing. moths fucked around with this message at 15:54 on Aug 5, 2022 |

It sounds like they paid someone to set up a printer farm and teach a crash course in printing, then handed production to a staffer. Printing is viable for prototyping and making masters, but this looks like an illustration of why it's a poor fit for the kind of production they're doing here.

parabolic posted:Or they're using consumer grade printers where you're going to get those layer lines on shallow angles and curved surfaces no matter what, especially if they're sacrificing for print speed on the z resolution. You can mitigate a lot of that through anti aliasing and orientating your model better. smug jeebus posted:Is there a difference between layer lines and stepping? I don't know much about 3D printing. Each layer prints like a slice of a topographic map. If your Z is taking big steps between layers, they're going to be more pronounced, and it'll look like a literal staircase. That'll make your prints faster, but they'll end up looking like this. I've heard they're going for a heavy jack in 1.5 hours, and if that includes printing, washing, and cure time then they're absolutely cutting corners that should not be cut.

parabolic posted:Do commercial slicers do anti-aliasing better? Because it's barely noticeable with lychee and chitubox. I noticed a massive improvement on chitubox between optimized anti-aliasing and none. But you need to dial-in the right settings for your printer and resin. It's possible that something has changed between set-up and production. One extremely likely scenario is that a knowledgeable print guy said "don't touch these settings" and then someone in management found a better deal on a different type of resin.

This is probably the real reason they've stopped taking orders. "Aww shucks we can't keep up with demand!" sounds a lot better than "oops we have chemically poisoned you."

We understand there are concerns over safety of our new production resin. We had the same concerns for our own production and packing staff. To ensure the wellbeing of all parties involved, from conception of this production process we put several practices in place to help guarantee the safety of all those that handle our products, and chose materials based on safety and durability. After prints are removed from the printer, they go to the first washing cycle. Here they receive a heavy rinse and scrub, and are then submerged in water as the whole batch is processed. From there, they are divided into smaller batches and are submerged in an ultrasonic cleaner for a minimum of 30 minutes. After the second cleaning cycle is finished, they are carefully spaced out in our curing station to bring them to the right consistent rigidity. Our cleaning standards far exceed recommendations from the manufacturer. With our unfamiliarity with processing such a large volume of prints, some parts of the process had newly developed issues. We realized we needed to change out the contents of our ultrasonic cleaners much more frequently to avoid a slight white chalky texture from appearing on surfaces/in cracks. With all parts different shapes and sizes and being processed in such large volumes, we had to increase our minimum cure times to ensure that some parts didn’t get less than a minimum standard. As we rise to the exciting challenge of fully mastering this constantly advancing and evolving production method there will inevitably be growing pains, and we still vow to make good on your purchases by replacing any parts that are less than satisfactory. Our production quality is important to us, but the one thing that will always remain our top priority is the safety for all involved. That said, this resin is not much different from other resins in that you should always be careful when handling it. Whenever sanding a resin, one should always use a respirator use a wet-sanding technique. Additionally, one should always clean their work area and wash their hands after working with resin. https://www.facebook.com/74721417049/posts/pfbid02764szAXB13u4xt1P96TNWV2ZXw7pFdi3PoVFesy3hJB2ixK34qehcx2c4uoW5xF6l/?sfnsn=mo L oh loving oh no
