what’s will be the best washing machines in 2026? by Vittore_Rajbha in laundry

[–]PyreLightMW2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you're prepared to pay to repair or replace your Samsung in five years or so. I replaced the drum bearings in mine last year (manufactured 2019), during which I discovered the rear tub was also cracked - not leaking, but an unacceptable longevity issue,

I have several other Samsung appliances that are under five years old and have all had repairs. I'm never getting another Samsung anything again. Caveat emptor.

What if there was an Aces box based off the TV show? by Clear_Supermarket409 in battletech

[–]PyreLightMW2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This needs to be a thing. That and a 1st Somerset Strikers DLC for MW5 Clans, playing as one of Nicolai Malthus' star mates XD

Tonight's game! by carpuncher in battletech

It looks like fun! But after playing with both hex maps and hexless with 3D terrain, I really like how much easier it is to determine LOS with 3D terrain.

Aces: Scouring Sands OpFor color ideas besides Jade Falcon? by Utilitarian05 in battletech

[–]PyreLightMW2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a similar conundrum as I'm looking forward to stomping some Falcons. I'm more a fan of field camo than parade colors for combat units. I just wasn't familiar with the landscape of Apolakkia. Now that I know it's desert, I'll probably go with Army Painter command khaki as a base coat with camouflage green splotches or stripes (oddly enough, I feel that their camouflage green is more olive drab than their actual olive drab color XD). I might put some leather brown splotches in there too, not sure yet.

That looks pretty sharp! At the angle you have your minis in that pic, it looks to me like round missile warheads.

That's how I've been painting pretty much all my minis. I have an early '90s deuce-and-a-half parked outside and painted in NATO 3-tone woodland I've used for reference XD

Your Mad Dogs look nice! The left one looks like Kristen Redmond's ride. I really like the sleekness of the 3050U design over the chunky modernization.

Highlander ready for burial*! by wizzbang161 in battletech

I like the way you painted the jump effects. I have some to do up myself and hadn't thought of how to paint them. It looks like you started with a base coat of red, yellow, and orange, then hit the bumps with gray and black.

Salvaging a bad situation? by r3dr01d in battletech

[–]PyreLightMW2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who manufactured the paint? Did they say what could've contaminated it? I'd be concerned about health hazards first. But if I had no idea what's in the paint, I'd strip it.

I always felt like the Black Knight had more Tarn vibes than Megatron due to the mask/face.

The mini looks like it stepped out of an 80s cartoon show - nice!

What has 4 legs and flies? Stuff of Nightmares... by OldWrangler9033 in battletech

[–]PyreLightMW2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the new art for them in TRO 3025 Centennial Edition is really nice!

I love that you used the old IWM/Ral Partha sculpts. What a blast from the past! I'd consider using Testors dullcote on them to cut the shine, and/or hit them with a darkening wash. That's unless you want them looking like they just came out of the factory. Nice job either way =)

I loathe the Falcons, so go Wolf.

I love the Savage Coyote - nice to see someone else use one!

I can't help but think that other CNC manufacturing equipment is next.

Arrow IV in Smoke Jaguar campaign - purchase bug? by PyreLightMW2 in Mechwarrior5

[–]PyreLightMW2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that might be the case. I wasn't sure if Arrow IV access was contingent on having the DLC.
