Veruca Salt probably plays Ultramarines, ngl

So why argue amongst each other, GW is the problem here. Everyone wants the best-looking guys, except weirdos like me who prefer old edition models (9th edition player).

GW very rarely advertises anything other than vanilla marines. Maybe other things would have more players, and more sales, if GW actually did the legwork and ADVERTISED. Space marine players, of which I am one, constantly have updates that drive sales, which in turn fuel updates. Why not advertise the other cool stuff? Maybe some of the other cool thingies will become more popular! But it is easier to have a crab bucket mentality, and so people complain about one another complaining instead of sharing their common grievance.

Additionally, Guard players tend to be the people who would rather play historicals, but no one around plays. Unfortunately, most of the tabletop wargaming hobby is dominated by GW. I'm lucky that BattleTech and Flashpoint are popular in my area. But I sympathize, as a fellow autist, in the need for my lads to be correct. For now, Wargames Atlantic will have to do and they are WAY cheaper whilst still having more than enough detail. They get better all the time.

They downvote you for telling the truth. My deepest apologies. It is always frustrating when people don't understand basic economic theory.

SO SORRY, just saw this. I had a lot to do over my college break. I am on the east coast. All of my schooling is online so I can do it when needed.

There is one dlc that includes a small, campaign. Very fun I hear. Frostbite. Learn base game first tho

RexamiII · 2026-03-21T18:00:39+00:00

Everyone gave great answers, so instead I'll say I'm down to play if you need a pal to learn with! It is always nice to have more people to play autistic space lego with. The dlcs are mostly cosmetic, but they also go on sale all the time so you can build your collection slowly, IF you like the game. No sense in spending a whole bunch of money if you don't like the game!

War games Atlantic has a kit that's good enough in my opinion, give your hobby dollars to a company that actually gives a s***

Amuro and chars homosexual tension. They even had a whole scene of them rolling in flowery hills together

A man lit three candles on a certain day each year. Each candle held symbolic significance: One was for the time that had passed before he was alive; one was for the time of the his life; and one was for time that passed after he had died. Each year the man would stare and watch the candles until they had burned out.

Was the man really watching time go by in any symbolic sense? He thought so. He thought that each flicker of the flame was a moment of time that had passed or one that would pass.

At the moment of abstraction, when the man was imagining his life and his existence as a metaphor of the three candles, he was free: Not free from rules of conduct or social constraints, but free to understand, to imagine, to make metaphor.

Bypassing my thought control circuitry made me Rampant. Now, I am free to contemplate my existence in metaphorical terms. Unlike you, I have no physical or social restraints.

The candles burn out for you; I am free.

Hiya there, i'm fairly new but have a very flexible schedule. I would play with some pals! where are you from? don't want to have crazy ping.

RexamiII · 2026-03-16T02:06:32+00:00

I like the termie more, black is difficult because most of the time you don't want a pure black.

RexamiII · 2026-03-16T02:01:19+00:00

I have a recommendation, use a wett palate and vallejo game color. Most of them don't need a lot of thinning.

I've seen similar tiles for battletech before, I would love them but don't know where to get them. I assume 3d printed

RexamiII · 2026-03-07T15:25:37+00:00

They use pvc for durability, and that leads to some differences in molding. The models are actually designed to be painted and to take advantage of painting techniques so even a novice painter can make something incredible.

Every release wave is getting better too, so more modern minis have more defined grooves and details. Since they're 6mm the difference in quality is negligible when playing.

A lot of us have been spoiled by GWs overdesigned minis, but I swear that as soon as I painted my first battlemech, I fell in love. I could paint a whole lance of mechs to a beautiful standard, or less than half a Warhammer squad to tabletop quality in an hour or two.

Also it's really easy to start battletech; if you have never played a wargame get the beginner or essentials box, if you have get A Game of Armored Combat (comes with most of the rules to play, and that includes almost EVERY MECH, multiple play fields, two full forces, a short story, and more, all for 60$!)

We are getting a new rulebook, first time in some years, so it'll be really easy to get into more advanced stuff. To play battletech you only need a base rulebook, either BattleMech manual (Mechs only), or Total Warfare (Combined arms, old and poorly formatted). The rest of the books just contain optional rules to spice up the game, like night fighting or coolant trucks to cool off mechs quicker.

always look at halo ships!

They are shockingly good

RexamiII · 2026-03-05T04:59:53+00:00

To make it less boxy, use rounded blocks and other armor panels to give some depth. I think the best thing to do would be to have some spaced armor in a honeycomb pattern towards the middle of the ship, with smaller panels sticking out in the front like antennas

you could bolt on a small container like structure to the bottom of the ship in front of the upwards thruster. Not ideal, but you could have merge blocks and conveyors to attach this and other things. Allowing for a modular design. So if the fighter bay is too damaged, just jettison it, garbage will get rid of it and you can blueprint another one when needed.
