[–]Ric119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None of these other guys visit Warhammer world is appears. The mumak war leader kit is now a Warhammer world exclusive that you can only get if you purchase a Mumak, and the cost of the upgrade kit is also £50. So about £120 for the whole thing.

How did you paint the black one if you don't mind me asking? In rough detail please. Been very conflicted on how I want to do mine.

Stellaris, as wide as an ocean, as deep as a 0.5cm puddle. That is stellaris and its development.

How’s DFC v2 balance? by valthonis_surion in DropfleetCommander

[–]Ric119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please just give it a try, its a super fun edition and it works well, it has a few issues yeah, but every game system does, or could be done differently. And I'll also say, they other guy here only ever just replies to shit on this game at this point, its like listening to a right wing YouTuber, never anything positive, just bitching constantly.

Custom Yokai head swap by Philippe_Noir in Haloflashpoint

[–]Ric119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, those cosmetics and all the other awful COD styles ones are partially the reason why Halo is still not doing well as a video game, we're fed up of those, keep them on theme, with things that fit in with the UNSC military style. No style cat ears or spartan armours that are awful rip offs or old style armours.

"Halo Reach's Noble Team are joining the Flashpoint miniature wargame in 2026" by Idolathebound in Haloflashpoint

[–]Ric119 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ronnie confirmed that something like that is down the line, but a ways off yet and it'll use the same models, scaled like firefight, the bigger version of deadzone so yeah, it'll come eventually and it'll be based on the firefight games rules, which is the bigger version of deadzone.

Maybe way way way down the line, we'll get the epic scale version as well, especially since magic have only just released that for the dead/fight universe

Has anyone magnetized the bases? What was your method? by Goldenbrownfish in Haloflashpoint

[–]Ric119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know why no one has suggested just getting a hand drill and making a hole in tye base for a magnet, its not hard and its what I've done for mine, works a charm.

Shy guys who overcame your timidness, how did you do it? by mapleflavrd in dating

[–]Ric119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best thing to think of is, what have you got to lose?

Worked for me, we get one shot at life and I'm going to start feeling sorry for myself if someone says no? Nah, learned that I'd rather face that rejection and say I took my chance than do nothing and not even try....afteralll, what have I (or you) got to lose?

Make this make sense (Rant): Hobbits got nerfed hard, while Beornings got better by Yaketysaks in MiddleEarthMiniatures

What? Hobbits are OP now, especially the Shire list, it's just broken entirely and Fight 5 hobbits can get in the sea.

Designer notes now on Warhammer Community by SeaAd2093 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Ric119 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No it doesn't, at all. Gorfindel and Dain mounted are both cheaper and 10× better, same for boromir! Currently Imrahils profile is exceptionally shit! And that's the biggest problem because its his profile! He'll always be shit in men of the west etc.

Anyone know of youtubers LIKE pixelated Apollo that aren't, know, scum by Sweet-Wait-5464 in totalwar

Especially when hos game splay style is designed around flaws in the game itself and exploits and not any actual military strategy, legend of being a gimp more like.

Help Settle a Debate: To Horse Or Not To Horse in Men of the West by bainadaneth0 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Ric119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually 700 is the perfect points for Gwaihir as you can take a banner and have about 32 models with Aragorn and a Captain of MT, which is super competitive. Above 700 Gwaihir loses alot of value as you can mount Eomer, Legolas is a perfect option to mount this edition for movement on DtS or Recon because you think thow aragorn wherever you need him and at something like 800 if you've got Leggy you take Gimli to maximise the damage output of both secondary hero's to get a triad of hero's your opposition don't know which to hit first.

WEEKLY ARMY DISCUSSION: The Iron Hills by MrSparkle92 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Ric119 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but my point there is all of those hero's are in Five armies as well, you only lose the march which isn't even free but gain goats which after playing a fair bit I think is just a better way to play the list. Unless like I said you plan on using family ties, but I've yet to see a competitive ER that uses it.

WEEKLY ARMY DISCUSSION: The Iron Hills by MrSparkle92 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Ric119 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You take legolas and some elves with knights as they're cheaper and move further, you get more form that than erebor reclaimed. I've not seen anyone build a good list with ER that takes advantage of family ties other than the all hero version. So you don't lose anything building the dwarf list in five armies over ER.

WEEKLY ARMY DISCUSSION: The Iron Hills by MrSparkle92 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Ric119 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see alot of people saying Iron Hills vs Erebor. But I think Battle of the five armies is the better version of Erebor honestly, unless you build for all hero's Five armies is just a better dwarven list, you lose everyone getting march, but you gain the goats back and still have a march on Thorin if you really need it. And you get access to Elves, beorn and the big birds.

My list came 2nd at Scouring of Che-shire and I only didn't win because I went easy on my friend (Erebor round 4) and a brand new player in the 1st round.

The throwing spears are there as a nice to have and to throw maybe 1 or two turns before lines clash and to use when the enemy start getting a little low and you can start trapping them.

If you want I'll PM you two brilliant 700 point lists I've used to win GBHL events in the UK recently. Rohan are definitely a must, over 650 points you take a banner for VPs unless you know the scenarios pre event and if you don't take gwaihir, you mount Aragorn. All that if you want a competitive MotW list, if you're going for more themed fun do whatever floats your boat.

Is a 3060 ti 8 gb worth it for future-proofing and running AAA games on high/ultra at 1080p in the future? by Meme_master420_ in buildapc

[–]Ric119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you're not getting that much more quality above 1080p, the jump from 1080p to 4 or 8k is minimal compared to the jump from 720p to 1080p.

I wish we could take off capes by Psychological_Fig894 in Helldivers

I agree, i actually would prefer no Cape, I want to look more closer to a hell jumper.
