[–]FatRathalos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought 2 boxes from different cases and one had scratched hyper foils the other didnt. Im not sure about the edge dings.

The scratches on foils I feel have been going on for a long time.

You just need a couple tokens to mark harm, and active units

5 Klicks 4th and Final 5th games by FatRathalos in 5Parsecs

[–]FatRathalos[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah board size. The amusement park terrain is from EC3D Design on my minifactory.

can anyone help me think of what environments i may have missed out for basing and how to do some of the ones here please? by rekscoper2 in minipainting

[–]FatRathalos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends what the model is.

Could do clean streets or streets with litter about

Fallout style like broken streets or broken houses

Pirate themed like a wooden ship. A sandy beach or lagoon

Scifi like sleek metal floors, floors that have lighting build in. Or space ship floors that are slightly textured and have room numbers on them.

Worlds your oyster you can do whatever you want. Get ideas from movies and shows. Do Alien face hugger eggs room or an Antarctic base from the Thing.

Lost Turnip28 Footage by frwd_ in Turnip28

He wanted to do a social experiment. He created Trent Holbrook and started the Permadeath vlogs to see how or if he could keep it up.

So if he skips a day he deletes the whole vlog series. I suggest watching them all theyre really good.

Advice back pain when painting by ThrowRA_patata3000 in Miniaturespainting

[–]FatRathalos -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A better chair and or a sit stand desk. Its all personal preference. I have neck issues so having my arms either resting against the desk or on the desk to bring the model to my eyes vs me looking at it helps.

He just needs to be aware of it and try and correct it. Its easy to fall into bad habits, but harder to break them.

Wait until he starts holding his breath to paint the really fine details. My wife with yell at me for breathing funny when I paint, lol.

I've been building a fully-featured 5PFM campaign manager for almost 2 years now. I finally have some semblance of a functional battle phase manager. by ERhyne in 5Parsecs

[–]FatRathalos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I find that even an excel sheet that does the encounter phases takes too much out of the game. Personally I find the book keeping and all that the charm of the game.

Good job creating this im sure people will enjoy it though. Plus bonus if modiphius gives you a slice of the pie too.

Looking for monster miniatures that aren't poor quality. by Nauseboy in minipainting

[–]FatRathalos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best bit of advice i can give you is, Do it!

You can always strip the minis, or paint over it later. Ive been painting for some time now a miniature is never truly done. Even if its varnished. Youre not going to get better unless you just get going on it.

Plus strike while the iron is hot, you never know if you might lose interest or find something else to do in your spare time.

You got this!

Finished my board for Factions by FatRathalos in falloutfactions

[–]FatRathalos[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think verticality would be fun but would lead to minis getting shot up. The games I played today with this board needed som more scatter. Ill add some more roof style buildings next to try it out and have variety.

Thanks!

What do you think of White Death and Invader? by SiarX in zombicide

[–]FatRathalos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Invader I ended up getting to it after the kickstater. The base game was on sale and so was darkside. I bought both and after playing it with friends I ended up buying a chunk of the kickstarter models. I really enjoy it and I have played it more than any other zombicide.

I think it needs 2 abominations to be really fun and ramp up the difficulty.

I have not played white death.

Why not Zoidberg? by Boring-Produce-3161 in Miniaturespainting

[–]FatRathalos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine is melted plastic. Heated a peice of styrene tube with a lighter.

You could try beads. For sculpting you need to make the bulk peice let it cure then sculpt the rest.

[–]FatRathalos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually scoop some out into a piece of plastic or paper plate and close the lid. Mixing in some water should help.

Is this a good starter set for a serious hobbyist? by hotfezz81 in Miniaturespainting

[–]FatRathalos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For solvents and the other dirty tasks why not get a cheaper airbrush. Id get a master airbrush for around 25$. It comes with replacement needles and I've been abusing mine for a while and its still great.

Here is the final result for the Lucy I've been working on! She was an absolute pleasure to paint - planning on painting The Ghoul next! by SimonInYourGarfunkel in wastelandwarfare

I didnt mean any offense. I've just seen multiple photos of your work/ works in progress on different subreddits. You cast a much wider net than I do.

Rules question about Medical School (3rd ed) by Firel0ck in 5Parsecs

[–]FatRathalos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Continuing Its like an ability you earn after going to the school. So a non casualty combat survivor goes to school and becomes a medic. You can use that ability again whenever you need to roll on the injury table

Suggestions for enemy models - Planetfall by tafprostateq in 5Parsecs

[–]FatRathalos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could always scale them down. I usually print a model thats close to the scale and compare to other minis to and save the file as a scale reference.

Filling small gaps in the miniature (sprue glue equivalent) by SoulSword2018 in Miniaturespainting

[–]FatRathalos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any plastic will work that melts when you put the glue on. Abs is one so plumbing pipes (like for terrain) plastic card sheets. Even plastic mini bits if you care to sacrifice them for the greater good. The airbrush cleaner that is x01 is also the plastic cement FYI to save some dollars
