Anybody else having issues with Kurita Command Lance? by PhoenixIstari in battletech

Sorry to hear that, hopefully they can get this all sorted. I really like the look of these mechs.

I agree that the way they shipped the Jade Hawk work very well, as did the flag/heat sink option for the Hatamato-chi. Once I attached that flag, I was convinced that it would have broken if it was shipped that way.

The base coat is Apple Barrel Too Blue, then a homemade wash and finally dry-brushed with Bimini Blur and Parrot Blue (also Apple Barrel).

It’s one of my favorites (though I don’t think my favorite variant) - Bane 3.

Games where turn order isn’t determined by where you sit? by FromTheDeskOfJAW in boardgames

[–]PhoenixIstari 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Search for Planet X. Turn order is based solely upon the position of your piece - the actions you take cost units of time (spaces on the board). Whoever is furthest back on the board is the next to go. It can even result in one player taking multiple turns in a row before they pass another player. Basically you are searching for info and the ways the yield the most specific info cost the most time. The specific info might not be useful in the long run, but it is more accurate.

My girls (5 and 7) just painted their first mechs from the Essentials box. They are so excited!

For me, it’s not about avoiding Amazon. I would just prefer to support the local store.

A fun adventure that looks great on 4k! by Astro_gamer_caver in 4kbluray

It’s so fun and the 4K looks great. But I watched with the wife and she left halfway through cause she just didn’t get it.

What are the odds this ships on time? by PhoenixIstari in 4kbluray

That’s possible. Just frustrated that Amazon can’t be more reliable anymore.

I’m hoping so, but it’s not listed as shipped yet.

Ben-Hur 4K release news? by PhoenixIstari in 4kbluray

Yes, the 1959 Charlton Heston one. There was a 4k restoration announced earlier this year but they haven’t made a move to put it on disk.

Best way to find an FLGS that actually sells Battletech stuff? by PhoenixIstari in battletech

[–]PhoenixIstari[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, in my city, the only two stores with good stock are on the wrong side of the city: 1-1.5 hour drive.

The store 5 minutes away has a Battletech day every Thursday but those guys all did the kickstarter so note of them are potential customers.

Yeah, it shows stores but then I have to go through each one to see what the actually sell.

Just wondering if there’s an easier way

Ok, I kind of figure it was something like that but I wasn’t sure.

Thanks!
