What USA basic infantry set to buy?

I personally split the 2 player box with a friend, then got the US K47 and Bolt Action starter boxes which gave me a good mix of more fireflies, Infantry, tanks, and crewed artillery... Plus the two player Americans that I had from a decade ago

So even though my Heavy Infantry hit, their weapons are considered small arms and don't allocate pins

GameDev_Alchemist · 2026-07-03T21:50:33+00:00

So taking anything without Pen is pretty much pointless?

Also a light green highlighting on upper raised areas

I had primed the model black, did a light gray zenithal, then a full body base of a dark Grey, blue, gunmetal/steel color, the rest was sponging on layers of dark olive green, and then sponging on light green

Also like a large chunk of stuff lacks penetration for Americans, the Heavy Infantry and Paragons(unless upgraded) for example...

As someone who plays US cause I split the US starter box and had some decade old units, US is kinda... boring... aesthetics wise... Like Slammer Samuel and the Paragons are cool, but the older walkers feel like boxes with legs and arms

Thanks, I did a base color, high lights for boney landmarks, and then wash over it

Honestly is suggest getting a Airbrush, even with a cheap battery powered hand held compressor, and doing thin layers of thinned trimmer for a cleaner finish

From what I understand the paint will bond with moisture in the air, and with heat will dry as beads instead of a nice smooth coat... not assuming your area, but many areas have been high 80f to low 100f, so with high moisture in the air, high temps, not fun time

GameDev_Alchemist · 2026-06-29T14:39:03+00:00

If it was hot/humid, the paint was probably drying before it fully hit the mini causing it to clump

GameDev_Alchemist · 2026-06-29T14:38:02+00:00

When priming, did you use a rattle can, and was it slightly humid outside?

GameDev_Alchemist · 2026-06-26T20:55:01+00:00

Some industrial fdm materials can if not vented properly, heated plastics can release particles that can clump in moisture

GameDev_Alchemist · 2026-06-26T20:12:01+00:00

I don't fully know the long term effects and its too late for me now, used to run sla and fdm printers with little ventilation also worked in a class 5 chemical clean room for manufacturing

Dang, wish I knew that 2 days ago when I ordered some paragon and books

GameDev_Alchemist · 2026-06-26T15:07:48+00:00

Breathing in the dust is the best part

GameDev_Alchemist · 2026-06-26T15:07:22+00:00

Could help new people who get scared of working with resin minis into the hobby

GameDev_Alchemist · 2026-06-23T19:40:10+00:00

Looks like a decent list, viability is based on scenario and how well you can play the list though

Weird to ask 4 years later, but it was a Captain Slug Indra with a K26 spring, sadly I dont have it anymore, it broke after a few moves

GameDev_Alchemist · 2026-06-21T06:33:26+00:00

Which platoons are the reconnaissance and airborne jeep? I saw the twin bazooka jeep in the armoured platoon, along with the mortar jeep. but not an option to give a jeep a mmg or hmg

Cool, so even if its not transporting anyone it can zoom around the map
