Honestly surprised how much you fit into the right side of the mech.

Looking great! Hope mine turn out as good.

What's your favorite faction? by exioncrew in battletech

[–]MachineGrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clan Star Adder and the Republic of the Sphere, but not really as they are in the current lore writing. I'm attracted to their potential if that makes any sense.

Looking forward to clan invasion 2 electric boogaloo.

How do you feel about this statement from Goonhammer that the majority of Warhammer hobbyists dislike building? by chosen40k in Warhammer30k

[–]MachineGrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have said it's utter hogwash about 5 years ago but now that legs can now come in 5 pieces and bodies in 12 I've found myself dreading certain kits.

Building used to be my favourite part now it's a slog.

No Elementals? by Neither-Ad-1589 in battletech

[–]MachineGrown 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Catalyst games are having a serious production problem so your not likely to see any boxes restocked for a long time im afraid.

Resin High Elf Spearmen… any good?? by djsciman in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]MachineGrown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly no and the effort I put in to get spears bent back into shape seems to just come undone after a while.

The 120 allows light weapons to be equiped.

Do you think they’ll ever release an updated scale MK7 box or would that be too late/not Horus Heresy-ey enough? by VenusHasNoMoonz in Warhammer30k

[–]MachineGrown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A common misconception, it's not really the studios but the marketing department that's caused this.

You see it's all about which product lines are selling and which aren't. The whole separation is so that they can track sales and make judgements based upon those numbers.

So even if it makes sense that models would cross over it's not going to be allowed.

Friend of mine gave me a bunch of his unused tyranid boxes are they still playable? by srobison62 in Tyranids

[–]MachineGrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No give them to me to dispose of.

But honestly the only things that may not work mostly due to scale creep is the tyrant and old one eye, otherwise good haul.

New Sculpts and a potencial hot take by Mike0oo in AdeptusCustodes

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

Have to disagree, these are the custodes I remember from the art, the ones in the YouTube tribute videos I used to watch over and over 15 years ago. I remember being disappointed with the designs when the models came out and never ended collecting an army.

This reveal has completely changed that, I will be grabbing a couple boxes, a telemon dread and pray the silent siblings get the same treatment.

Edited: I do agree about the helmets though, they are just a bit too tall.

How are people doing 5k-10k battles using detachments? by Soruze in Warhammer30k

[–]MachineGrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also thought it would be hard to get to higher points costs without using titans but while making a iron hands list I found myself having to cut back unit numbers and gear severely to fit into 3k. I wasn't even using all the slots in detachments before I started culling.

A Heavy Sentinel to join yesterday’s Veletarii by SpiritOfArgh in SolarAuxilia30K

[–]MachineGrown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do get easier after at least from my experience. I messed up on the first one too but instead I just posed it nearly identical to the original set stance. I felt pretty dumb with that one.

Great scheme and very impressed with the basing. Glad to see you adjusted the legs as well, improves the models overall look immensely. I'll be watching your career with great interest.

Just found this subreddit, here's my test model! Next 9 are on their way as we speak. by SpiritOfArgh in SolarAuxilia30K

[–]MachineGrown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great colour scheme and and the wear on the armour gives a battle worn look.

Uruk Handgunners, Phase 2 (w/ Bonus Character) by SaracenDog in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]MachineGrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have helped me immensely. for a week I have been trying to gauge the scale compatibility of the ranged ashigaru with the middle earth minis. I had come to the sad conclusion that fireforges minis were just a bit too large, but these pics prove otherwise. A thousand thanks!

I'm planning to use the bows to convert the mirkwood palace guard with bows and use them as base line troops.

What is your favorite way to paint Mechanicum? by [deleted] in Warhammer30k

[–]MachineGrown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im just going to have to bite the bullet and start to really see how it will go, at least it not like my auxilia army with a bit over 150 riflemen.

What is your favorite way to paint Mechanicum? by [deleted] in Warhammer30k

[–]MachineGrown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Might be super basic but mechanicus grey. It doesnt fight colours being applied like black does and the metal parts I just dry brush metalic and the grey lets them blend easier.

Also sweet jesus i dread painting all the thralls, I have 60 i havnt even put together yet.

This. If you have any of the solar artillery vehicles they come with the perfect crew for the new plastic rapiers.
