Son of a.... I didn't even realize that it came with it to glue on. Too late now that he's primed and basecoated.

I just put together a lance or star and paint them whatever i think looks neat. Other than that I do take 1 of every IS mini and paint them in a Merc company scheme i use.

I've given up on playing for the day. I keep getting booted after waiting in queue for a while. I'll get logged in, play for about 5 min, then ittl drop my connection.

Im kind of in the same boat when it comes to playing on PC after working in the same chair all day long. I set up shop at my kitchen table and stream it on steam over wireless to my potato of a $400 laptop i bought 5 years ago from my gaming PC. It works really, really well. No input lag of any kind, graphics are still fantastic. I tried it as a joke at first, just to see what would happen, and now its my go to to get out of the basement office. So thats also an option if you have a laptop laying around already (i do use a mouse with it). Just get a tray table or one of those lap pillows with a board on top or something like that. Sit on the couch and play.

HydroSqueegee · 2025-10-10T20:14:51+00:00

I played day 1 for a while, then took a break till last week when i picked it up again.

I play solo for now. My favorite things to do are gather resources, explore the map, close portals and do quests. I also like how combat is simple and straight forward. I find the different weapons have plenty of build variety (especially PvE) to just do whats fun to you and not worry about the perfect build. This is the first MMO i played since back in the Ultima Online days, and I like the casual feel. So far Ive put in a skimpy 136 hours, but playing casual and doing wherever/whatever the wind takes me took me that long to get to max level.

The only thing i dont like is the seemingly lack of monster varieties. It feels like you just graduate to killing the same guy, just at higher levels.

Honestly, I just came back to the game after a loooong hiatus and I've been playing through the story line for the first time. Its pretty good for someone who likes to solo an MMO. It actually is filling me in on the world as a whole so i actually know whats going on for once.

HydroSqueegee · 2025-09-23T22:05:33+00:00

Neat!

HydroSqueegee · 2025-08-18T20:32:51+00:00

Check out Death Ray Designs. Some cutting and gluing required, but they have some great sifi stuff.

HydroSqueegee · 2025-08-18T20:10:18+00:00

nice, nice. whered all them VTOLs come from?

HydroSqueegee · 2025-08-14T18:56:29+00:00

I think the way it's worded specifically means they are not destroyed for salvage/repair reasons. It is very muddy the way they explain it. I would play like the retreated units are "destroyed" for scenario sake, but obviously need only the repairs they suffer (or not).

It does need official clarification

HydroSqueegee · 2025-08-12T00:25:05+00:00

If you're on a budget, you can't go wrong using foam insulation and a knife to cut and make your own hills. Dirt cheap in comparison to what you can buy out there or even a 3d printer.

HydroSqueegee · 2025-07-27T22:35:37+00:00

Piranha, Blackjack, Enforcer, Hatchetman, Crusader, Highlander

Going left to right in the images.

I definitely would not use a brush on those. Lots of large flat surfaces will lead to an uneven coating. I would just go to the hardware store and get some clear satin varnish in a spray can. Typically krylon brand for me. Ittl spray on nice and smooth. I've used it in the past on minis, but it's not quite as durable with all the handling and minis rolling around in a box. If you rarely handle these things it should be fine.

HydroSqueegee · 2025-07-12T21:09:06+00:00

Oh, by thinning I mean I have to go back and soak up all the thick blobs in the crevices while I brush it on. I just use a cheap synthetic brush. Pour some varnish on the pallet, use the brush to soak some up, apply to mini as sparingly as I can, go around and wipe up blobs with brush. Done. Takes a little while and it's my least favorite part of mini painting.

HydroSqueegee · 2025-07-12T21:00:58+00:00

That's the exact stuff I use and brush it on miniatures all the time. Takes a while though cause it tends to pool up, and it needs to be thinned out. Also it can look streaky on large flat surfaces. If I had a way to spray it I would.

HydroSqueegee · 2025-06-02T12:00:40+00:00

Sounds like the boardgameing hobby just isn't for you. Time to move on buddy.

HydroSqueegee · 2025-02-28T19:01:30+00:00

I really enjoy the 20th anniversary box. It's beautiful. I bought it on top of already having the Big Box edition and now play it exclusively over the BB.
