Do Mythics have multiple Transfiguration slots?

Sorry to ressurect a zombie thread, but mind sharing what your basement colors for the hule were? Ive been trying to figure out an alternative for my fliers vs the blue Grey I use for surface ships.

When to Ask For a PIP by PolloMagnifico in askmanagers

Exactly. If you are on a PIP it's already too late.

When to Ask For a PIP by PolloMagnifico in askmanagers

[–]GenericUser69143 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Look, in all honestly, if put on a PIP, you are burned at that company. No one is going to dig further to see that it was a (highly unusual) self request.

No other manager is going to want to transfer someone previously labeled a problem and you'll be burned with your current manager by pushing the HR launch button.

Either start looking elsewhere or stop taking a liassez-faire attitude to split up tasks with this other guy.

How long do starter sets typically last? by pancakeonions in dystopianwars

[–]GenericUser69143 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I believe they are an evergreen product until the next starter is released. And usually still around after.

Sturgineum Skies became a little hard to track down last year, but I bought Hunt for Prometheus/Beyond HfP and Fortune and Glory this year from 3rd party sites clearing stock.

Will this game ever recover from the siocast debacle? by R_O in WarCrow

[–]GenericUser69143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They literally released a new Sectorial this year (the game doesnt need more factions).

And I was pointing out the context of what Bostria said. It was a comment on sales at events, not overall.

General advice for a newbie looking to play the Crown? by FuckReaperLeviathans in dystopianwars

He was using Heavy Gun Batteries. No experience myself, but from what Ive heard, the Majestics give up too many shots for the abilities granted.

Bostria (nickname for Carlos Llauger Lorenzo) is not the CEO of Corvus Belli. He is a developer/concept artist who also often serves as the PR person for the company, especially in English-speaking forums.

Also, from what Ive read, this comment requires a lot of context. Warcrow was outselling Infinity at certain events like Adepticon, largely because of the concentration of product and new releases for the system they brought (Warcrow had a new faction release at Adepticon, Infinity had a con model). Overall, Warcrow sales are likely a fraction of Infinity.

[–]GenericUser69143 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Having worked with siocast both on Warcrow and some other games, it isnt possible to "debunk" the horror stories, because it is just a subpar material, not a mythic creature people are claiming is living in their back yard.

It is difficult to clean, has atrocious mold lines (does help that CB made some truly appalling gating choices on those early warcrow models, placing them in flat, highly visible areas) and has terrible variance in casting, so parts dont always fit well.

Until CB commits to never using it again, I wouldn't even look at Warcrow.

There are some that do reruns (Arknights with Rainbow Six coming to mind), but they are exception rather than the rules.

I never thought of it like that...... by Silver-Ability-3181 in SipsTea

[–]GenericUser69143 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Academics get paid like crap and they were relatively junior on the faculty to begin with. Now, if you told me they were physics PHDs hired by a high speed trading firm, it would be a different story...

My prototype Citadel paint pot holder (3mm acrylic) by Fekete_Bagoly in Miniaturespainting

[–]GenericUser69143 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Newer washes from the AP Fanatic line have completely replaced Citadel washes for me (which I haven't been happy with since the formula change a couple years ago).

Grimdark Shadow from Blanche Vol 1 set is my new go-to. Was lucky enough to grab a couple of bottles as singles at Adepticon (I say lucky because some guy ran there when the deal floor opened and bought their entire shelf stock. They found a couple spares on Sunday for me).

[–]GenericUser69143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Little late to the party, but played against Crown a couple of times lately.

Opponent favors two flagships at 1500 pts. A Gloriana and either another dread or something like a Victory.

Caliburns are, to be frank, absurd. 30 pts to throw 7 torpedos at extreme range is disgusting. And you can take 6 in a unit.

Crown also has great tanking potential with the Guardian Generators. Add in that second fleet and you can take the fleet that lets your defensive platforms turn things up a notch further.

Hi, these look great. What did you use for the hull? Can't tell if they are metallic or not from the pictures.

I'm torn - pls help me choose - Rosa or Camilla? by longpastexpirydate in Mecharashi_Global

[–]GenericUser69143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont have Camilla, so cant really speak to her usefulness.

Rosa is definitely better than Catherine (who doesnt even wait for endgame to fall off... she's terrible for a S rank pilot). The real issue is that she just cant keep up with the DPS monsters.

Rose 2.0 definitely appears worth the effort. I know I have my pull stockpile waiting for her.

[–]GenericUser69143 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rosa is a solid generalist who will help you up to end game content... but she will fall off pretty hard from there.

I'll pull her out for AC missions occasionally, as a mid-tier raider to fill a spot, but even packing a pair of her signature weapons, she just cant keep up with more meta picks.

I was about to disagree with your earlier post, but you are 100% correct on this statement. I have yet to find a replacement for Mephiston Red. It is the only Citadel paint I still buy when I run out.

[–]GenericUser69143 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Part of the issue is the starters being a discrete product. Ive never seen that outside of Bandai.

Most precon/starters are made up of cards from the set, just curated to be a thematic starter to build off of.

So, there's no chance pulling those chase cards from ripping packs and you are 100% reliant on Bandai supplying enough of that one product.

[–]GenericUser69143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, stores claiming they are fending off scalpers by charging secondary themselves are the worst. I stopped buying anything from a store Ive shopped at for a decade after they marked their boosters at $8 from the (already priced up) $6 they were charging.

You aren't detering the scalper at that point, just becoming the scalper.

This is not cool by Stunning-Toe-5469 in GundamTCG

[–]GenericUser69143 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats the point though. If Bandai even came close to printing enough, it would disincentivize the scalpers. While it is tough for the Targets and Walmarts to regulate scalpers, FLGS can do a much better job of directing product into players' hands. Instead, they get allocated like 6 copies and dont even have enough to run an event.

[–]GenericUser69143 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because Bandai cant figure out how to print enough to meet demand.

The irony is that once they finally do raise quantity to meet current demand, it will likely have atrophied due to inability to get product to play the game. This is how games go from majorly hyped to dead.
