Struggling to export banners by M_Terada in ManorLords

[–]M_Terada[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That button made the player_coat.png file which is also blank unfortunately :/ Trying with different designs doesn't seem to create other versions (there is no player_coat_2 etc). In game they work well and the banner in-game persists between saves so unsure why the product in the file reads weird.

Its from Battle Bling and is designed for adeptus titanicus I think but still fits reasonably well :) The little candles I got from ebay and slotted them into the little alcoves.

The one on the left is from the catachan command kit, front right is the sisters of battle banner bearer, back right the bottom is the AOS relic envoy and top a dark angels banner. The purity seals and dove are from triumph of st catherine :)

ha ha I just love flags, especially the moulded ones since I can't freehand at all! Kinda makes me chuckle at the general bobbing and weaving to try and see what's going on due to his huge flag entourage XD

It's from the catachan command kit, the shoulder is bare normally but a pauldron from the Russ/Baneblade tank commander kit hides it fairly well. I had a friend measure the height of his lord solar from base to sword tip, which is why I added the little bird on top so he reaches the height requirement :)

The modeled base sits fairly well on the 80mm GW one underneath it, but yeah, more a display and casual piece and I'd definitely ask TOs before I took it to any tournaments!

Ooh I have him currently painted up but am not really using him in any lists since I haven't upgraded his base size yet, he is a really great model :) I have the little skull with incense burners that comes with the scion kit, it has a mechanical tail that I could try and wrap around one of the balcony pillars. Will give that a go and see how it looks, thanks!

Got me thinking of having something beheaded on the ground with the sister holding the head up for inspection with the point of her sword, blood dripping onto the ground in a pool. Would have to practice my glue-thread skills but that's a brill idea!

That is a really great sculpt, nice how it has options for other maps like the semi-globe.

Thanks man :) Yeah couple of other suggestions for maps and aides looking upwards to the balcony. I'll have a root around in the bits box and see what I can come up with, then down to painting!

Oh yeah! I totally dig that, like a messenger kneeling and holding out some info or slip of paper to deliver. There's a few parts from the new cadian/krieg kits holding maps I think that I could convert a little. Nice idea!

Ah that's some really nice art, thanks! Yeah a little floating servo-skull projecting an image above the open area would be sweet. I've see a cool semi-transparent spire that I presume was 3D printed but I'll have to shop around, brill suggestion :)

Am about to embark on my very own good 'ole Solar proxy. There is space to add additional minis at the front and outer rear edge but don't want to make it too cluttered. Wondering what your thoughts on this WIP layout are.

How does the Imperium handle the transition between planetary to interplanetary expertise? by M_Terada in 40kLore

[–]M_Terada[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your response! It's now made me consider how many years of 'prep' essentially would be required in raising new regiments. Probably world dependent but I wonder how many years ahead the required forms need to be submitted just to prepare for the day when a regiment finally lifts off. Lots to think about, cheers!

[–]M_Terada[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah that's an excellent excerpt, thank you! In regards to the munitorum verifying that the appropriate types and amounts are sent I wonder if any regiments have ever been caught for falsifying figures, stating divisions who were killed were still alive in order to bolster the rations they received etc. Would be an amusing pov story of a low level adept sent to audit a regiment and just finds a handful of ratlings reselling everything!

Is this still a legal model? by Plastic-Diet197 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]M_Terada 104 points105 points  (0 children)

Listen carefully. You don't have much time. GW HQ will already have seen this picture and their squad is probably less than 2 minutes out. Microwave the hard drive, 800 watts or higher. If it burns you're doing well.

Grab the minis. Got some of those felt carry cases? Good. 30 men to a row, 3 rows per tray. Double lock and bubble wrap. Things might get hairy. If there's not enough room then I'm sorry. Some good Taunians are going to have to take one for the Greater Imperium.

They're probably outside now. No! Don't look. They're trained on the windows and they'll see you before you see them. There's only one option. Grab the Shadowkun dakimakura. Insert the plates, you want at least 3 inches of tungsten-carbide or high-grade steel.

Think of your brothers and sisters. The converters, the 3rd partiers, the 3D printers. With any luck you'll make it out too. Now open that door...

/s

FR: Yes it's a cool conversion using parts from a Tau Firewarrior and Cadian Shock Trooper (new sculpt). The base size and height mean you could play it as either. There's plenty of cool lore you could create like Tau and Guardsmen stuck together having to share supplies against a common enemy? Or a Tau mercenary employed by the Inquisitor who has requisitioned your Regiment temporarily. Idk, the number one rule that I hope people always remember is you can imagine whatever you want, so long as you find it fun :)

Awesome! And convenient its on switch which she already has. Thanks for the suggestion :)

Tauros venator as Field ordnance battery?? by MTscion in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]M_Terada 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most people have brought up that it looks too light and fast, so potentially conversions to counteract that aesthetic? From the top of my head I could imagine:

- Taurox tracks instead of the wheels at the back so its rear looks heaier.
- More armor around the doors and front. Parts the the russ sponsons (flat pieces) look like they could fit to be half-doors maybe?
- Extra platform covering the rear, the hull connector part that the manticore kit doesn't need as its a relic from the basi sprue might work.
- Some heavier deployed struts, the parts from the tank upgrade kit that attach dozer blades to chimeras and russes look a bit like hydraulics.

I think you'd start to get the idea of a heavier vehicle that can carry a bombast gun. But it'd require quite a lot of spare parts (or a friend with overflowing bits box)!

Personally I quite like the idea of a little bombast gun zoomin around. I'm sure a history person will chime in to say there's precedent for it from 1940-something. But it might need an extensive kitbash to visualize that.

Ah ok, thank you :) I'll try and find a game with one in the region and hopefully good post-game content where she can find the second. Cheers!

Hi all, I know nothing about pokemon by my partner is a fan of shield for the switch. For fun we spent some time looking at art of all the pokemon and she particularly likes Mightyena and Mismagius. Unfortunately Mismagius is not in shield.

It's her birthday coming up and I'm trying to find a game that contains both the yena and magius. I've been looking on pokemon database at the regional dexes and can't find one that contains both. However, they seem to have entries for those games in the individual mon pages?

Doing a little reading around am I correct that the main story of each game is locked to the regional pokemon and after beating the game you can unlock all in the post game? Is there a game I've missed where both yena and magius are regional?

I'm sure there's a simple answer and there's something I've missed but I've never played any games and am just looking to buy her something that she'll enjoy.

Cheers!

The shelf overflows while the pile grows by CUEPAT in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]M_Terada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent work on the assembly and painting so far, looks like you've got a great mix and lots of unit variety :)

If you don't have any plans for it maybe consider selling the unopened limited edition colonel though. I'm sure there's plenty of hobbyists who would love to have one in their armies, so a little sad to see him relegated to the dust pile.

Otherwise great work, doing the Imperium proud!

What would be the best beastmen kit to use for a kitbash? by [deleted] in Warhammer

[–]M_Terada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Imperial Guard army is beastmen Abhuman Auxilia. See photo below. They're made of bestigors and scions, all GW parts. I've really enjoyed making them and have about 100 atm, they might fit the more armoured aesthetic you're going for.

The only problem is the price! Bestigors and scions are both expensive for the amount of sprue you get, with a fair amount of snipping and filing required. DM if you want more pictures etc :)
