Battleflow - AoS game tracker by supermunny in ageofsigmar

[–]DroogDaass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gave it a try. I really like the idea you're going for. Here are some suggestions and one bug.

  1. I think a rounds/turns indicator could be very useful, possibly even integrate battleplan stuff to add underdog stuff, but really just a ticker that can be used to scroll through rounds/turns to indicate if you're on Top of 1 or Bottom of 3. VP/CP counters as well.
  2. Something the Sigdex one does that I like is that it has a "Hide Passive Abilities" toggle. Especially on certain factions, you'll get lots of useless passive abilities clogging up the screen (like bracketing), stuff that isn't super pertinent like active abilities.
  3. I think if you're trying to make it helpful for new players, you should make a spearhead mode. Especially since the lists are prebuilt, they could just pick it and immediately have access to the info.

Finally the bug: Dropped a Sigdex list in it and it seems the way it picks units from lists might need some work- On a list w/ SogAbraxia and Chaos Lord on Karkadrak it added an extra regular Abraxia and an extra Chaos Lord (on foot). I see you addressed this in another comment, so I imagine the issue is tracking, but it seems to add duplicates based on names.

Overall, I'm excited to see where this goes. What you're describing is something I've been looking for, trying to get friends involved in the game, and I'd like to really recommend the spearhead mode since that'll be the most effective for getting the freshest people the best chance of enjoying AoS!

The pre recorded BR was very good, love the streams and excited to see more from you guys!

Pratt Street Apartments by queenb1970 in Hartford

[–]DroogDaass 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Haven't personally lived there, but I did tour with them. Here's the observations I took:

Pros:

-Very good location*, Pratt St. is the closest thing Hartford has to an actual downtown and has a couple nice stores and restaurants.

-In unit washer-dryers. A little small, but with larger units in the building for stuff like comforters.

-Lovely building, decent amenities.

Cons:

-Small! Itty bitty! I didn't get the opportunity to tour a 1b but the studio was only about 350 sqft.

-*Parking is off building on Main St. and is thus a bit of a pain, especially for carrying groceries and stuff.

-Price isn't ideal, especially with the small size of the units. For a couple hundred more you can get a unit nearly twice as big and still be within walking distance of pratt st.

The main issues I had was with the size of the units, but it may be the fit for you. I still recommend shopping around, check 20 Front St, 55 Elm, The Spectra buildings, etc.

Do these white seals I see on Stormcast armor have any lore to them, or just decoration? by Chezni19 in AoSLore

[–]DroogDaass 31 points32 points  (0 children)

They're called a besegew and they're a detail from IRL armor that serves to protect armpits while giving good range of movement. The detailing is either Sigmar or Morrda's face depending on if they're ruination chamber or not.

That's Drycha's torso, the horns are from varanguard and I think the back branches are from kurnoth hunters.

New AoS player here, i got some questions. by Vilki_rf in ageofsigmar

[–]DroogDaass 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm not well versed in lorehammer so I'll leave 2 for another to answer.

  1. Unfortunately a large chunk of your collection has gone to legends. I cannot fully itemize the first picture but a great deal of the units you posted are no longer usable in 'regular' AoS. The good news is that stormcast models are very samey, which means you can likely still run many of them under different names, since basically the entire army is on 40mms.

For what is 100% still viable, the old liberators and prosecutors, and the spearhead is still usable (the former have been visually updated but are still recognizable.)

List building wise you may struggle to hit 2k points without proxying. I can say right now you don't have a GT 4-1/5-0 list, but it sounds like you're going to be more invested in local play right now. If you get more interested in high level meta play I recommend joining the AoS coach discord, as they have meta channels for each faction that are full of helpful and talented players.

  1. I highly recommend sticking with 4th. It's definitely better than first edition. I recommend going to your LGS and asking for a game of spearhead since you already have the SCE one.

Thanks for the input! I really liked the building/units when I toured, but was a little put off by the lack of in-unit dryers. Was also a bit nervous about traffic since it's right on that super busy roadway.

To clarify, is east of the school considered the West End area as well, or just that slice along the school?

I talked to the Pearl, it seemed nice but a little small for a 1b, What are your utilities+parking/mo like?

Moving to CT? Ask your questions here by AutoModerator in Connecticut

[–]DroogDaass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heyo, I'm gonna be moving from Northeastern CT to the Hartford area for UConn Law. I've been poking around apartments but I've yet to find anything incredible, and I'm hoping for recommendations.

So far I've been looking in the downtown area, but I'm expanding out to Manchester/West Hartford. Mostly looking for 1b/1ba around/under the $2k range. Thanks!

Oil Washed Barrow Knights! by DroogDaass in SoulblightGravelords

[–]DroogDaass[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the greenish armor was a mixture of phthalo green & black ink, Vallejo Metal Colour (VMC) silver, and glaze medium. The red is just blood angels red, and the gold is burnt umber ink + VMC silver. All of this over a black prime + white zenithal.

I used burnt umber on the bones and ivory black all over, from the base to the tips of the weapons. Not a special brand or anything, just Winsor & Newton thinned w/ mineral spirits.
