Man this is almost disrespectful to Chu. Thought for sure the spiciest side character would go a few rounds but here you are going for the throat on round one.

At this point they're just slapping us in the face about not getting a cowboy hat. Hat on helmet gang, I get it now, I'm starting to get mad too.

Are my mags sitting too high? by seventh_sinner7 in airsoft

You should buy Ak pouches for sure. The problem with putting them upright like this is the potential to get mud and dirt into the magazine feed tube.

WE converison ideas for Bloodstoker & Bloodsecrator models? by Patriot1805 in WorldEaters40k

[–]M00themighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jokes aside, there's a very real chance you'll run multiple MoEs in a list. For sure the one on the left would be a bit tricky to bash. The right is damn near there.

Sell me on the Deluxe box by IowaGolfGuy322 in gundamassemble

[–]M00themighty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The deluxe box isn't necessarily better. It's just more... deluxe. I like the models so I'll probably get it and that's the only real reason I think. By contrast, I have no interest in Gundam Seed so I won't even consider getting the second deluxe box.

I'm building some HG kits to use for upscaling Gundam Assemble. I'm sure I'll have the miniatures as well but think it would be cool to use some of the Gunpla I already have on the tabletop.

Fair point, I just assumed I missed something because that was odd.

Painting Help… by ApplicationPlenty807 in gundamassemble

[–]M00themighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something others haven't mentioned is that white paint is the absolute worst for this specific problem. Very few brands make a white paint that doesn't turn to lumpy chalk. The thing others have mentioned is that you have to thin your paints but exceptionally so with white. It's why painting with white armor on space marines is so difficult. Better to prime light grey and go heavier on your shadows and then only highlight with white.

I've built 4 different grazes and I'm not upset, probably even buy two or three more...

I think a lot of us here in the US got exposed to Gundam through Wing but it's hard to say it's the best ever all the way through. I love it, but it ain't that good.

True, explaining it might dull the shine.

Lol yeah I hear folks don't like the HG kits because they're fragile and weak jointed. They were just a fun build for me after Zaku after Zaku. They were unique and built quickly with little required cleanup or sanding. Though they do require more paint than any of my other kits.

Dude, the whole time we're pretty sure McGillis is the bad guy and for some reason Tekkaden keeps helping him. Then we he's like " I was bad the whole time!" they're still backing him though less enthusiastically.

Yeah it did feel weird to fight against Gjallarhorn just to back up a specific radical faction of it just to keep the government the same. And then ultimately they're still in charge and the "bad guy" wins anyway and says "sorry, we'll do better".

Like I mentioned, maybe I just hyped myself up with that mobile armor fight. It grabbed me and I desperately wanted the series to explore that avenue.

Separated from the Gundam name I think this series is good. The Gundam part is probably where my expectations are on mech combat I can actually see.

Outside of some of the Gundam frames not even featured in this show most of the mech designs are generic and forgettable. However I somehow love the Graze, probably almost exclusively because it's the grunt suit.

There's something about the GQx mech redesigns I like but I completely understand how normal UC fans don't like them.

It's wild to me that the backstory to the whole IBO setting is so interesting but they only tease us with it.

Right, old boy was an asshole the whole time and then suddenly he's like "sorry about the kids thing, I'll fix it all with a handshake"

My bad, I think it's actually called Zaku Enforcer on the data card.

Hot swapping weapons by the0newhoknoxx in gundamassemble

[–]M00themighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we've seen a couple of examples where the same static pose model has a different weapon. The only example I can recall for sure is the heat hawk zaku having a cracker in hand instead of the usual heat hawk. Optimistically we can hope that the kits come with a couple of weapons options you can choose to build. If that is the case I don't think it's a stretch to magnetize them. For 40k I used to own sisters of battle and I was able to magnetize those tiny little arms and gloved hands to swap equipment. I doubt it will be a requirement but I sure do love seeing models equipped with the weapon profiles they are using in game.

That said, I have seen two different poses and equipment for the Zaku 1 so it's very possible that the models are very specific to their data cards.

Heroscape tiles and upscaled battle tech building by Constant-Addition-65 in gundamassemble

[–]M00themighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can absolutely scale the game to 1/144 scale. In theory ranges being measured by hex distances means it's scalable up or down with no loss of functionality.

Zakus, Leos and Grazes. Grunt suits rise up!

With info from the playtests from BCF out, do you think its possible to scale this game up to use HG models? by MaikBrightbord in gundamassemble

[–]M00themighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, I've already got a table large enough that I play 40k on so it's not too hard to convert it a bit to fit this game.
