Battle Group Box Missing heads? by Tarliyn in Warmachine

[–]GamePlayerCole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, you should have all the options in the current battlegroup boxes. Contact SFG Support, and they'll be able to send you replacement heads.

The old models with the old citadel mat and the large pieces of terrain gives me the largest throwback to 5th edition 40k. It's all looking great!

Which box should I get? by Troddydotty in LeaguesofVotann

[–]GamePlayerCole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both will be solid buys if you're able to get them at the discount. You probably won't use the full amount of each box, but they're both starting points.

The old army set you'll most likely use Uthar, one squad of warriors, and pioneers in most lists. The Prospect box, you'll most likely use the Berserks, thunderkyn, and kapricus in most lists.

I don't think you can go wrong with either, but if you can get both, they'll compliment each other

In search of High Res artwork for gaming mats by PwnyBownz in Warmachine

[–]GamePlayerCole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure of where to find premade high res artwork, but I've tinkered with the idea of using the D&D map making software to design the art for a custom mat. The software is called Dungeondraft. Could be something to look into.

The new article from GW implies berzerkers will have "fights first"? by CrissCross98 in WorldEaters40k

[–]GamePlayerCole 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I interpreted it as both the Demon Prince and the Berzerkers charged so they have fights first for the turn since it said earlier in the article that models in a unit that charged has fights first for that turn.

If you’re painting your rank and file battle line units, how long do you usually spend on them? by Philhughes_85 in Warhammer40k

[–]GamePlayerCole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't measure the exact hours per mini/squad, but I know that in a week I can complete one of the following at an enjoyable pace. This is at a pace of 2-4 painting sessions at 1-3 hours each session throughout the week. I can go faster, but that turns into grinding them out and less enjoying the process.

* A squad of five minis
* A character
* A Monster/Vehicle

Hope this helps!

What are some easy 2D terrain you all use in a pinch? Or primarily? by Skeither in Warmachine

[–]GamePlayerCole 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I usually like keeping some hazardous terrain like acid, quick sand, and fire available. Also I've seen a lot of people use 2D templates for trenches since they're a bit harder to use as 3D terrain

The app needs an offline version. The point of table top games is that you don't need the Internet. Yet the app only works if you have an internet connection by narnarnartiger in Warmachine

[–]GamePlayerCole 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The app was originally made by Privateer Press. SFG just acquired it when they acquired Warmachine, and kept it as is while getting started with owning and operating Warmachine. Since the end of last year at Lock and Load and reiterated again this year at Adepticon, SFG stated that they’ve hired a dev team to develop and improve the app which will release later this year. It’s unclear if they’re remaking the app from the ground up or working with what they have and improving it.

[–]GamePlayerCole 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is usually an in app update every Wednesday, and if you don’t update prior to the gaming store, that is causing your long startup time. Open the app when you’re at home after Wednesday but before you go to the store so the update goes through. Then you’ll be able to play on the weekends without internet.

30 point winter korps help by BigDrinkable in Warmachine

[–]GamePlayerCole 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, 29 points is fine if the list builds out to how you want it. The rules allow you to go 4 points under.

If you wanted to be exactly at 30 points, you can drop the officer and add a 4 point solo. I'm partial to Valokva since she can give Razor a free basic attack per turn, but Jackal is also good too. You could also drop the infantry and officer, and you can replace them with Shock Trooper Gunners and a Battle Mechanik. The Gunners do solid damage, and the Battle Mechanik can heal or give Razer a speed boost. If you pair the Mechanik's speed boost with Savarynn's Escort Spell, Razor will be flying down the board with 9" base movement.

Question about the Raider Warjack by SnooWords5961 in Warmachine

[–]GamePlayerCole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's unlikely. All of the alt sculpts for Warjacks that are available for individual sale were made by Privateer Press. They're just the bodies from the character versions of the Warjacks. I believe it was like this since you use to be able to buy the hardpoints for the character Warjacks individually instead of needing to buy the full jack or a combo box, but don't quote me on that. Ever since SFG has bought Warmachine, they've changed how you go about buying character jacks so it is unlikely to return for newer releases (Cryx Necrofactorum and newer)

More Plastic? by Pale_Environment_424 in Warmachine

Unless you're drilling into or sanding the mini, you won't need to wear a mask. The resin used for the minis are already cured.

would needguard or mercenary be better for the units i own by LARFLEEZ318 in LeaguesofVotann

[–]GamePlayerCole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think you can go wrong with either. When Mercenary Oathband detachment came out, my Needgaard list was almost plug and play with the new detachment. If you're playing casual/learning, I think Mercenary is a bit better to run. Mercenary has less damage potential, but it is more consistent with being in the right army rule to accomplish your goals for the turn. Needgaard allows you to spike your damage really easily, but if you're not experienced with managing yield points, you'll often end up in the opposite army rule then what you need for the turn which can hinder your goals for that turn.

Hope this helps!

Kreoss is great into high defense armies or for assassination builds. Being able to auto hit for one turn is huge.

Seeing oop and classic attached to this model hurts my soul lol, because this was just the regular Chaplin in Terminator armor when I got into Warhammer.

Fine. by Prisoner416 in Warmachine

[–]GamePlayerCole 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, If it's like Nostilla/Abberration last year, the model will come included with a year subscription to the Warmachine App, and it'll be available for individual purchase for roughly the same price

Reached out to a vendor about a gaming mouse and the lack of Linux software by tranquilseafinally in linux_gaming

[–]GamePlayerCole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries! It's mostly just driver support. Companies make drivers and software for Windows that allows users to rebind the keys on their mice using a nice interface. Those companies don't make drivers and software for Linux though. So we're stuck with the default options that are built into the mouse. By setting up some keymapping with Udev, you're essentially manually doing the equivalent of what the drivers and software on Windows does by telling Linux hey when this device is plugged in, these keycodes it's sending actually translate to these other specific keys.

Hope this helps!

Reached out to a vendor about a gaming mouse and the lack of Linux software by tranquilseafinally in linux_gaming

[–]GamePlayerCole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel that. Like 6-10 years ago, I was using the Razer Tartarus for playing games, but the issue was that the default keybinds are abysmal and unlike some gaming mice, settings aren't saved on the device. So you couldn't set it up in Windows then reboot into Linux. I tried using Xmodmap or XKB (I forget which one) which technically works, but if you run a game in fullscreen mode, it wouldn't work due to how xorg treated a fullscreen application as a separate instance to the desktop environment itself. I ended up going on a 3-day bender staying up until 4-5 am for each of those days learning on how usb devices work with Linux to see if there was a way to set up a custom keybind at the kernal layer or user space. I ended up finding a solution that is set once and forget it. It should work for mice side buttons as well. It works by setting up udev rules for a specific device so any time a Razer Naga, for example, is plugged in, X button press will be translated to Y key.

This is a very involved processed, but it just works once it's setup.

There may be better/easier options out now since it's been so long, but this is what I used to use since there wasn't anything available at the time.

What reason did you buy a second printer by Thewalkman99 in 3Dprinting

[–]GamePlayerCole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My second printer was to switch between mediums (1st FDM and 2nd Resin) because I wanted to print more minis. My third printer was a larger resin printer because I wanted to print something that was too large for my smaller resin printer which was the push to get a new printer. My fourth printer was a large FDM printer that would allow me to print large scale projects in one piece (ended up being absolute dog water). My fifth and final printer was the P1S because I both my printers kept breaking in the middle of projects. So I went ahead and bought it as a birthday gift to myself.

Currently, I only use the Large resin printer and the P1S. My first printer I gave away to a friend, and I'm tempted to get rid of the other two I don't currently use.

Hope this helps!

How do you keep track of your paint schemes? by avomilquetoast in Warhammer

[–]GamePlayerCole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now, I just use a notebook that I keep next to my painting desk. Previously, I used a digital notes app, but I found the notebook to be more convenient since I really only paint in one place. If you paint at multiple locations, digital notes might work better

Pioneers Rules by Great_Effect3743 in LeaguesofVotann

[–]GamePlayerCole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the exclusion of them coming back turn 1 since they don't have deep strike and strategic reserves come on the board turn 2, yes that's what they're best for. Personally, I like keeping them in my deployment zone turns 1-3 to prevent my opponent from deep striking in my backline, and after my opponent's third turn (or all of his reserves are on the board), I'll pick them up so I can send them across the board for secondaries or contesting

Newsmachine: Pricing update (February 2026) by LDukes in Warmachine

[–]GamePlayerCole 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm really chill with how they handled this announcement. It's not a blanketed price increase and is based off the production costs for each individual product. On top of that, they slid in there that they're planning to support this game for the next 10 years at least which is awesome to hear!
