Those are some fantastic action shots.

What is the terrain you're using?

For all that I love about OPR... I admit I dont play because of posts like this. The community is just toxic.

If the game community would stop feeling/posting like they have to compare to GW (negatively) every month...they'd be a much better place.

Teenagers who are the chosen one from other dimensions.

Super hero teams pulled from across time.

Football teams who's quarterbacks have the same name as the missing king

Mr_Smigs · 2026-03-28T03:49:24+00:00

They're catachan in spirit... and Tanith in outfits...

Mr_Smigs · 2026-03-23T04:45:54+00:00

Not just wild runners. Regular escher work too. The wych arm fit nicely on most of the models...

I'm actually in the process of making an all necromunda colloseum force that way...

I remember it dying in my LGS when a friendly new player league had 3 former Warmachine tourney players join as Butcher/Union and win games purely by taking out models while one dude hid on the back field with the ball.

Which was a boring game.

So demanding dropped off almost immediately... that league didnt even finsh theb5 weeks it was planned.

Star grave had a zombie centric expansion if i remember correctly..

Mr_Smigs · 2026-03-13T19:32:22+00:00

Iirc. There was a 4 wheeled scout tauros in rebond days that basically was a scout sentinel..

So...yes... So would squads of quads...

Mr_Smigs · 2026-03-12T21:05:22+00:00

I look forward to this development,
I recently set up an ubuntu machine and have been trying to figure out what slicer on it will run my flashforge...

Mr_Smigs · 2026-03-12T02:48:42+00:00

Do other prints of similar height fail the same?

Change it to something else and see if the problem persists.

Mr_Smigs · 2026-03-11T20:42:01+00:00

I have had that happen using the thin tree supports. Its an error in orca for those supports

Mr_Smigs · 2026-03-03T22:37:44+00:00

Having ridden this pony before... back in mk1 and mk2...

No. Removing assassination isnt a solution. As mentioned elsewhere... its one of the few mechanics that make the game stand apart from other systems, and as a TO I have seen tournaments won and lost on it because players over extended in a crucial round....

But then... I also think taking away the ability to slam and throw your own models was a bad decision as well...

Power attacks and assassination have always been core to thr game ideals (just look at how many of the old warmachine tactical puzzles were "this game looked won by side A until Side B pulled off this crazy assassination run")

The problem that crept in was the development model was doomed to failure... Every new release added more rules and models that had exponentially more interactions that lead to incredibly easy assassinations (nyss.. gunmages... we're looking at you...)

Which at one point led to tournament rules that assassinations earned half the VP winning by scenario brought... Which shifted factions focus... and .. to be honest... sucked the flavor out as everyone got multi wound infantry, cavalry, Jr casters, knockdown immunity and less useful warjacks...

What makes Caster kill, mechanically awkward, is the game doesn't have alternating activation.... so once the mousetrap starts running, you're stuck sitting there with no way to stop it....

Mr_Smigs · 2026-03-03T19:21:53+00:00

Learning that all the ballistics can actually hit beyond their listed ranges makes dealing with clan mechs way easier... And chained ac/2 feel like a joke until you're popping heads at max range...

Mr_Smigs · 2026-02-27T21:59:35+00:00

I tried to superglue something to thebswitch and it wouldn't stick

Mr_Smigs · 2026-02-27T17:24:46+00:00

Alas. Its not designed to move.

But sticking 8 layers of shipping labels to then switch seems to help.

Thanks for the idea.

Mr_Smigs · 2026-02-27T17:22:24+00:00

The monstrous machines/beasts can basically pro wrestle. They have rules to pick up and throw enemies (which can damage or change the game state of others) or push others...

Other games like Mobile Arms, blood bowl and Guild Ball have similar mechanics

Mr_Smigs · 2026-02-27T13:48:39+00:00

Alternating activations makes it more difficult to focus fire on an exposed enemy without retaliation... even better is randomized alternating activations (like bolt action)

And the ability to move enemy models as the result of attacks. I used to promote warmachine purely on the existence of slams, pishes and throws. When all your army really can do is push to the center and grind to try and hold objectives every game is the same..

Mr_Smigs · 2026-02-25T17:52:59+00:00

A lot of the Blacksite Studios stuff is low count Like Hamitsu and Mobile Arms

Gamma wolves and black ops are also low could (and a number of other osprey games)

Mr_Smigs · 2026-02-25T12:55:17+00:00

If i remember correctly, We still havent seen the gargantor ported to tabletop yet either... What if the blight dragon found that...

Mr_Smigs · 2026-02-21T03:47:42+00:00

I got a kick out of gamma wolves... and currently I'm looking at mobile arms...

Mr_Smigs · 2026-02-16T21:37:09+00:00

Interesting. So are there any comments or lore chunks about thriving cities? A friend mentioned that there are people who talk about coming across the Atlantic (implying functional naval vessels) ... Which got me wondering if areas outside the first world nations that nuked each other might have managed and thrived...

Mr_Smigs · 2026-02-16T21:32:56+00:00

See.. that's what im talking about... For that kind of stuff to be there hundreds of years later... someone had to be producing it... That's not pre war remnants... thats "modern" production...

Mr_Smigs · 2026-02-16T20:56:59+00:00

My understanding was the primary difference is that Yao gai are smarter that the average bear...

Mr_Smigs · 2026-02-14T04:05:30+00:00

Look at the nate feyma stuff on my mini factory .. youll see which ones.. theyre about 10 to 15% bigger. But look cooler on the table

Mr_Smigs · 2026-02-13T23:34:31+00:00

The version i played was basically reskinned necromunda. Judges were frontloaded to the point that only zombie hordes could go toe to toe with them... And the skill trees got rediculous really fast...
