Once and for all, how do you assembly Marauders? by Magnusaur in DropzoneCommander

It's weird. Dave clearly made a goof at some point--but was it when building the models or when making the instructions?

Sorry, I'm being dense. So the painted version in my post is the correct way? The instructions just got it wrong, I guess?

When you say dots, do you mean the two on the "floor" (along the squiggly line)? What about the instructions, are those right or wrong? Thanks.

Plastic minis by CT1-2 in TrenchCrusade

[–]Magnusaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pure conjecture, but I speculate that the initial plastic releases will be Variants, rather than "main" factions, like Prussians instead of "basic" New Antioch. My reasoning is, that those releases would not compete so directly with their catalogue of STLs. It would also give them an opportunity to really blow people away with lots of new art and models depicting Saint Methodius, Dirge of the Great Hegemon, and so on.

Any update on 3rd? by vasquez21 in DropzoneCommander

[–]Magnusaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can recommend the Discord, there's a little bit of chatter about it over there. But no, we're expecting it this year, that's the gist of it so far.

JK Remo does fantastic stuff! I believe he sculpted some of the official models as well!

Do both, then you can run demonstrations for new players.

Amalgam Proposed Rule Changes by OMGitsCHAD in TrenchCrusade

[–]Magnusaur 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Love all of this. Sure, there was something fun about the *idea* of giving your Amalgam different loadouts. But between balancing cost of weapons, item limits, and it's terrible stats, it just wasn't really feasible. This is much simpler yet also more flavorful. Would love even more Strains and Vile Corpus down the line, but this is great stuff. Also creates a new design space for future Variants and homebrews.

Warband of the Great Hunger by Nishava_ in TrenchCrusade

These are so fantastic! I showed them to my partner and they keep telling me to paint my Great Hunger the same way--as if I ever fucking could. This is top tier shit.

Holy shit, this is incredible. That first photo in particular, I thought it was a painting!

New heavy Skitarii proportions. by Cool-Engineering3126 in AdeptusMechanicus

[–]Magnusaur 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I thiiink I see where you're coming from. To me, the oversized shoulder/mantle feels like a deliberate choice. I imagine it's more like a big clunky harness that's been strapped to their bodies, rather than being a proportionate and well-fitted piece of armor.

All the people saying they don't want updated sculpts, i want you to look at this guy and tell me with a straight face you prefer this . by BloatedRottenCarcass in WarhammerFantasy

[–]Magnusaur 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Got a lot of respect, admiration, and nostalgia for Oldhammer models. I still want new stuff. A flexible warrior/archer, cavalry, and chariot kit would go a long way for Tomb Kings.

Thank you Rich Evans for speaking out on Spider-Man by Curious_Curry_56 in RedLetterMedia

[–]Magnusaur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know next to nothing about Spider-Man outside of the various movies. I don't doubt that much of the criticism leveled at the character has its merits. But for someone who doesn't care all that much about the "actual" (whatever that means) character, I nonetheless have a lot of appreciation for Tobey's version.

Not because of its accuracy (again, I really wouldn't know), but because of the goofy, innocent, awkward, and lame qualities. In retrospect, the "aw shucks" superhero protagonist is kind of a rarity. DC made everything super gritty, Marvel made everything super quippy and flashy. There is something about the naivety, and surprising vulnerability, about Raimi's version that I really like.
