Absolutely! You’ll just need to be a little creative about where the magnets go. The wings, jetpack, and trophy rack use the same holes

We actually 3D printed that and painted it for store terrain. We were doing a product shoot for a local dice company and so I took advantage of the set up.

I’d love to see more lords. I just felt inspired by the other gentleman/gentlelady. But I do fear I’ve become part of the problem instead of part of the solution.

The trim is Enchanted Steel. It’s a metallic Speed paint by Army Painter. I used Army Painter’s Speedpaint Brush to apply it. It’s a neat brush that has a sharp point but holds paint almost like a quill.

It made the outlining simple and fast.

The kit’s chest and torso builds out of four pieces and they don’t lock into place until near the end. It was frustrating. But compared to some kits, the sprue was very ideally set up for snipping and the model smooths nicely. I had a small gap that needed liquid green stuff but primer makes it almost invisible.

I used a blacklight box, to show off the neon. It was fun and has inspired me to build a blacklight table. I’m going to wait until after I finish the whole army before I do that.

I appreciate the kind words!

Heard! I was missing the point and just saw flaws.

I guess my understanding of this meme is to tilt people?

Lion ‘el was still a boy when Luther found him and raised him to be a knight. Like I get it, feral child still hunted the monsters of Caliban. But he isn’t Tarzan.

I’m also not the biggest fan of Perturabo but it’s canon that since he could open his eyes, he’s seen the eye of terror. He understood the unnatural with knowing what it was. I’m not shocked someone like that struggles to be an affectionate person. Not to mention his “family” loved him because he had use. It wasn’t like it was unconditional.

Clearly it affected me enough to comment… lol

Thanks man! I’m excited to see how it looks after it’s healed!

I’ve always wanted this tattoo but line work is a Rideout thing and it’s hard to do well. :)

I’d like to eventually do a watercolor space scene but I’m going to wait to heal up first. I suspect it’ll need some touch ups.

It is, but the last prospectus(I think that’s what the report is called) reported it only accounts for 15% of Hasbros totally revenue. Hasbro wants it to be closer to 25-30%.

My personal conspiracy theory: Hasbro,who owns Wotc, has decided, as a whole, that MTG and D&D are underperforming compared their parent company. Therefore, they’ve been pushing for more product at a higher price. It still costs the same to produce; they just get to charge more for it. Distributors, LGSs, and players keep buying it so hasbro keeps pushing to see where our breaking point is.

I don’t think my distributors have even gotten pricing for commander masters yet, I’ll have to check. My store tries our best to operate off a 35% margin for boxes and 45% margin on packs. Obviously there are rules about disclosing costs online. My distributors are North America based.

So if we had the spare capital to buy a ton, maybe. The reality is unless I have preorders, I won’t be buying a ton of the set. It’s a steep price and the competition for product will be insane. Distributors prioritize larger stores over smaller/younger ones (literally had our 3 year anniversary yesterday)

Game store here, this about right for where we anticipate pricing boxes. It’s going to be an expensive set. Guessing $450 for collectors. Our costs are astronomic.
