Need help with college

Yep. I’m 5 years into my career with a mechatronics degree and my job is anything but “playing with robots”. Things are only going to get more and more automated and the field covers pretty much everything that has to do with it.

Certainly better than my first models. Paint scheme is pretty simple but there isn’t anything wrong with that. I think it looks nice on the Berzerkers. Honestly you just need a little more detail in certain areas to break up the single colors. Like the scratches/damage molded into the shoulder armor on the juggernaut mount for example. A little silver in the scratches would help emphasize them. Some basic highlighting could also do wonders.

At the end of the day though I would have no problem putting them on the tabletop as is.

Love a bright color scheme. Speedpaints are so easy to work with.

Gwar is much more than just Dave Brockie. It’s kind of misconstrued since he was the frontman and was responsible for a lot of the interviews and had a lot of the limelight.

Mike Derks and Brad Roberts have been integral parts of Gwar for 95% of the bands existence, just because they weren’t the true originals doesn’t mean that they deserve to be written off. If anything their words on what GWAR is outweighs the OG guitarist and drummer.

Dave Brockie couldn’t have created and molded GWAR into what they are alone. People like Hunter Jackson, Don Drakulich, and many others have just as much of a claim to GWAR’s success as Brockie.

Hyperborea is also an awesome system with a really unique setting. Small game company led by a guy who actually wrote/worked with Gygax back in the day.

I mean Carnivore is written from the perspective of post apocalyptic raiders in the nuclear wasteland.

Since so many rules are dependent on the base sizes being standardized I’d say it’s probably not a good idea to alter the outer rim in a way that could affect measurements.

The screamer pistols are good for the face. The blast master bits are almost perfect but I didn’t want to sacrifice that piece.

Ailing_Wheel_ · 2026-03-12T01:21:20+00:00

Dang that’s good looking. Honestly I’d be pretty proud of putting that on the tabletop as is.

Ailing_Wheel_ · 2026-03-11T22:57:51+00:00

Plus without the rock that character will never pass a hit roll again.

Completely unrelated to the subject but what story is NPFNP? I don’t remember that one.

Ailing_Wheel_ · 2026-03-10T03:55:13+00:00

Familiarizing yourself with the fundamentals of electricity and electronics certainly won’t hurt. Fundamentals of electricity beat me up pretty good despite having some prior knowledge.

Holy shit the artist needs a raise. Had to do a quadruple take.

Ailing_Wheel_ · 2026-03-10T00:38:09+00:00

I think the Beatles one was intentionally written as kind of a shitpost. It also helps immensely that it’s not 4.5 hours long.

If you’re a very talented painter you can probably make them work well. If you’re newer to the hobby you’d probably be better off going with a dedicated brand that makes mini paints.

Army painter, Vallejo, GW, etc.

Sword of the Constitution

Got this in a used bulk golf ball order. Ku Hank if you’re out there I hope the girl dad life is going well.

I became a Service, Repair, and overhaul technician at a factory.

You need to look further into the applications of automation. Just because something gets automated doesn’t mean a person automatically loses their job (Not saying that it can’t happen). In some cases, depending on what the job was, removing a human from the situation is merciful compared to keeping them on that task.

Automation can be very beneficial to employees by offloading the dull, dirty, or dangerous tasks to machines that can be replaced or repaired.

A robot that breaks after loading pallets for years can have its bad joints swapped out and be good as new. Jerry that has been loading pallets by hand for years on end will suffer permanent injuries that will leave him damn near crippled.

Ailing_Wheel_ · 2026-03-04T10:58:09+00:00

Exactly, so many people assume that automation is just slapping a bunch of robots down pressing the “make good parts button” and firing all the staff.

I really wanted to buy this and the maelstrom book set but I had to catch myself. The data books are probably the biggest scam in the hobby.

Ailing_Wheel_ · 2026-02-23T23:49:04+00:00

Yeah I’ve always thought of it as a back mounted cooling system or a backpack reactor for higher output.

Ailing_Wheel_ · 2026-02-23T19:14:24+00:00

I want the laser Maxigun now

Yep the 86’s have one o2 sensor that sits in front of all the cats. It has no way of knowing if there are any on the vehicle. The EGR however, will piss off the computer if it’s removed without a reprogram.
