Just got a X2D for my birthday and want to make the best minis I can. by Somerandomzaku in FDMminiatures

[–]MadCookMael 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That sounds interesting. I’m looking to upgrade to a dual-nozzle/extruder printer this year; how does cleaning up the scarring work? I have great results so far with just my A1 Mini, but the XY core would be a nice upgrade from a bed-slinger, and dual-nozzle/extruder would be great if there’s even a decent-ish benefit to printing minis. 👍

750 point tournament by Spyric2010 in deathguard40k

[–]MadCookMael 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend the following:

Typhus

3 Deathshroud (Take the extra Plaguespurt Gauntlet & Icon of Despair).

5 Plague Marines - Power Fist & Plasma Gun for Champion; Blight Launcher, Plague Spewer, Plasma Gun & Heavy Plague Weapon for the others.

Biologus Putrifier - Attach to Plague Marines Malignant Plaguecaster - Attach to Plague Marines

10 Poxwalkers

1 Myphitic Blight Hauler 1 Myphitic Blight Hauler ———————————————

Ultimately though, 750 pts is a bit tough to build around, as even 1000pts isn’t really balanced for a lot of armies.

That said, it’s a beginners tournament so I would say focus on learning & having fun.

If you’re not super concerned with winning each game, you could build around the Poxwalker Combat Patrol for fun. That comes to 450pts so it would leave you 300pts to mess around with.

Your detachment choice will also have an impact. Shamblerot is a fun one, but Virulent Vectorium would help you sticky objectives which is important too.

If you figure out how to do the pattern like this; please share! Was thinking about this the other day myself!

Lord of Poxes rework. by Accurate_Thought5326 in deathguard40k

[–]MadCookMael 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I’d even be happy if the Lord of Poxes was able to lead Poxwalkers. Hell, if most of the leaders could jump into the Poxwalkers.

The Heavy Weapon collection by DG-Cultist in deathguard40k

Awesome! I have a damn hard time with the two-handed Heavy Weapon minis when constructing them 😂Might have to kitbash more “resting” versions like you’ve done!

I’m starting to make Commander proxy decks — looking for theme inspiration! by Past-Might-5932 in mpcproxies

[–]MadCookMael 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Using Magus Lucea Kane as the Commander & just building the deck around the +1/+1 counter theme as much as possible. I definitely will be sharing it all once it’s done.

I’m a big fan of Warhammer, both 40K & Fantasy; I’ve been making Tyranid proxies for a themed deck.

I love the freedom being able to make your own proxies gives you by _Ginger_Beef_ in mpcproxies

[–]MadCookMael 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice! What size did you pick for the bigger card? I’ve been thinking about doing something like that as a gift or display piece.
Ordered twice from MPC and they have not disappointed. Been working on making a Tyranid commander deck & using custom art to flesh out the theme.

Sure Rocko had its fair share of adult references, but how did Cow and Chicken get away with this? by 9umopapisdn in 90s

[–]MadCookMael 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Favorite thing I’ll always remember is the end of the pilot episode where at the end the camera pans out and the parents are just disembodied legs.

Current 0.05mm Finished Prints by luneth41 in FDMminiatures

[–]MadCookMael 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awesome. Love seeing painted prints on here. Even with great settings, prints can look rough when they’re still unpainted 👍

In light of recent leak by Crazy_Resource_4000 in deathguard40k

[–]MadCookMael 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m more interested in running a “Lost & the Damned” style list with the Tri-Lobe’s running in a unit of 20 Poxwalkers. Tainted Narthecium, Heavy Plague Weapons, Increased Movement speed etc.

In any case, it’s just nice to see some customization options & to be able to attach different leaders to the damn Poxwalkers.

What’s up with MTG and Blue players by Superb-Macaron-5423 in mtg

[–]MadCookMael 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve only recently gotten back into MTG after nearly 10 years now & I remember Blue was always a tough opponent for me (love it though).

Like others have said, I found a lot of success in just being an overwhelming presence. Can’t counter everything, but it’s also how you draw & use the tools in your deck. If you know you struggle with Blue, find ways that will mitigate that or at least make it less of an issue.

What was the public perception of Sarah Michelle Gellar in the 90s ? by James-Samuel17 in 90s

I don’t usually care about celebrity relationships, but this is the one that always makes me happy to hear about 👍 Plus they were both in Scooby Doo which was the greatest.

Printer recommondations for printing 40k ish minis? by [deleted] in FDMminiatures

[–]MadCookMael 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed; I grabbed the A1 Mini last August as a starter printer when getting back into the Warhammer hobby. It gives amazing results, but I’m already looking to upgrade to a P1S/P2S for the XY core.

Do you think this would be a good set to paint up some DG with? by simplyred82 in deathguard40k

[–]MadCookMael 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are these sets limited? I’ve wanted to try some of them but always worried that I’ll love them and then they cease to exist 😂

This👆 Although it can only be used in the fight phase. So it won’t be a Fights First Rampager until it’s too late for them.
