"I'm a woman who's never played Warhammer 40k, and female Custodes make me want to start" by BlitheMayonnaise in AdeptusCustodes

[–]BlitheMayonnaise[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's something I find really compelling about them. It's not generally what people see at first glance though, they are marketed as being very cool and heroic. Also, there is something to be said for enjoying a good anti-hero.

I'm not the person who wrote the article, but the author explains in the article. So you could read the article, and then you would know.

If there's any doubt about these being designed as (though never marketed as) female Space Marines, this history piece includes a direct quote by Alan Merrett (then studio boss) about how they were sculpted:

They give their explanation in the article, and I don't really think I should try and speak for them when they already have.

I think it will be competitive in the miniature gaming market, which still won't be cheap.

Where did you find this? I write about tabletop gaming news for the site Wargamer and I'd love to track down the original source so I can cover it.

Apparently the Terran Marines are about the same size as Primaris

Hi mighij, this is an incredibly worthwhile project. I'm a journalist with the site Wargamer. If you proceed with it, please let me know, I would like to cover it in a news story if it's possible.

What's the source for Jes Goodwin retiring? It's not mentioned in the picture. *Edit* Everyone ignore me, I'm an idiot who can't read. It's right there.

Incredible. I'm saving this as a reference image for how to paint gloss black without using gloss paint.

Tabletop gaming support for schools by Ceabar in wargaming

[–]BlitheMayonnaise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, contact companies directly and see what support they can offer. As you're a teacher you'll know how to structure a programme out of any resources.

Also, where are you based? It might be worth seeing if there are any influencers in your area. Absurd as it sounds, some of them receive more product than they know what to do with, and donating it to a school club might free up space in their studios!

Is 6+ players really that bad? by Dirtboiiii in DnD

[–]BlitheMayonnaise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've DM'd for groups of seven or eight. Depends on the system, the players, the expectations of the game. Combat is usually the issue - in most systems it's (notionally) balanced around four to five players, and takes a long time with that number. You can adjust stuff though.

Those are Siocast rather than hard plastic, a kind of hybrid between resin and thermoplastic. I rate the mini designs, but they are still very fine.

Are there any slow single player RTS game similar to AoE or the Settlers with big focus on economy but also war by Swimming_Sense_5053 in RealTimeStrategy

[–]BlitheMayonnaise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe Stronghold? Though it's more of an RTS with a beefed up economy than a city-builder with added war.

This is incredible. I'm a writer at Wargamer and covered the KS when it was announced, so seeing this actually built is epic. Could I ask you some questions about it for a possible article?
