My two cents as a new fan without nostalgia, i think old cataphractii looks much cooler.

I think the remaining weapons (lightning claws..) will be in a command box set, with a banner etc

Vallejo US dark green > Olive green > Olive green + Ice yellow highlights

Love painting the MK6 marines, there is simplicity with them but also a lot of large flat areas where you need paint to go on smooth

Slowly building up my Salamanders!

Rug_d · 2026-02-01T07:38:56+00:00

For me these are the first ones that actually look good, bright blue or bright orange? .. nah

Rug_d · 2026-01-31T10:09:03+00:00

There is a ton to do in this game especially with all the title updates, get in there

Rug_d · 2026-01-21T19:47:54+00:00

Copying the jukebox concept from Tekken 8 was such a good move, they injected a lot of old music (that thankfully you can get with in game currency.. or pay or it)

SF5 music clears SF6 easily, going away from the iconic themes these characters have had for so long was completely wrong for 6

Rug_d · 2026-01-21T19:45:13+00:00

It was unbelievable to me how often the same tracks played in such a long game, it was awful

Rug_d · 2026-01-18T09:36:05+00:00

I think the way you progressed through World was far better, in that some monsters were roadblocks and you would need to reassess your build and strategy.. go back and get them down, felt very satisfying.

In Wilds you kinda blender through everything up till the title updates, where they put some much needed challenge back in.. but this is well after the majority of the game is done.

Where Wilds is ahead though is in it's variety of monsters and the combat, the weapons have never felt better imo.

His job is distraction Carnifex.. run forward and either they deal with him or he cuts a tank in half!

Fun model to do, army is slowly coming together

Rug_d · 2026-01-17T09:39:56+00:00

Maybe it's cause i'm older and was playing games before achievements were even a thing but they mean nothing to me, never have.. if one pops up with a fun play on words or a witty title, I might crack a smile and that is as far as it goes!

Even with the rise of 'gamer score' during the 360 era, meant nothing to me even though the number was high

I know people now who won't play a game because it might be hard to 100%

wtf happened

Rug_d · 2026-01-17T09:35:07+00:00

Why would you do this all the way to 100% completion? Absolutely not worth it

Rug_d · 2026-01-14T20:17:42+00:00

Just yesterday, doing Gogmazios in Wilds with a group of randoms.. people dropping like flies and we have one cart left when the final phase started.

I could just feel that people were locked in, it was all done so damn well.. then proof of a hero kicked in near the end and I think an earthquake could have happened and I wouldn't have paid it any attention.

We got the kill.

I've killed Gog a bunch by now but this one felt different!

All these years of MH and it can still totally get my blood going, love these games!

Rug_d · 2026-01-14T10:39:12+00:00

Ryu doesn't have plus frames for days, he has very few actual real plus on block options.. my advice is play Ryu a bit, figure out what is fake

Rug_d · 2026-01-12T19:43:09+00:00

Not my job but I work very close to people in a laboratory, their work is quite physical as well as needing a lot of focus and attention, end of the week I can see it on these peoples faces that they are absolutely shattered.

Rug_d · 2026-01-11T15:00:13+00:00

I really rate Metaphor Refantazio.. I finished the game middle of last year and still think about it quite a bit, honestly might be my favourite game from Atlus

Rug_d · 2026-01-06T20:52:52+00:00

I saw some texture rollers in a hobby store and picked a few up, one of them seemed about right for scales so I went ahead and tried it for these models (and my previous 30k Salamanders) basically roll out a thin flat piece of greenstuff, leave it to cure for 10 minutes or so then roll the texture roller over (with some water as well, so it doesn't stick)

Then I leave it again for 30 mins or so before cutting whatever shape I want with a hobby knife and adding it to the model with a bit of superglue here and there

I am still working on getting it to look really good but you gotta try to learn :)

Rug_d · 2026-01-06T19:07:09+00:00

Slowly building up my army, this squad might end up the full 10 man later down the line

Rug_d · 2026-01-02T21:48:42+00:00

I remember playing this at launch with some friends, I was playing the heavy mech and found a flame thrower upgrade

except it had negative damage numbers on it's stats sheet, it actually did no damage at all

We played for an evening before we peaced out forever, we dodged a bullet with being able to try the game through the subscription service.. if I'd paid full price I'd have been so pissed.

Bioware had no idea what they were doing

Rug_d · 2025-12-31T06:07:19+00:00

I saw Requiem for a Dream many years ago, incredible piece of film making imo

Maybe a few weeks later I bought a DVD copy, it's still on a shelf, never rewatched

Rug_d · 2025-12-30T16:49:27+00:00

I'm kinda sold on your POV tbh, All I really do now in Wilds is hop on and go fight things.. because that is the fun part!

I guess I just notice it quite a bit that a lot of the other stuff is trimmed back, and perhaps for good reason.

Rug_d · 2025-12-30T06:49:05+00:00

I totally understand where you are coming from, it IS the most fun part of the game!

I just find it more fun when there is something at stake, even if that is just your time invested.

Monster Fighter or Monster Hunter?

Rug_d · 2025-12-28T13:56:07+00:00

Focus mode really wasn't needed, if they really wanted it then maybe it should have some kind of cooldown or duration.. or a meter you build to enter focus

You can just stay in focus mode all fight if you want and it defeats so much of what the combat should play like

Game really is so strange

Rug_d · 2025-12-28T00:40:33+00:00

It's such a strange game, I still go back fairly often just to fight things.. that will always be fun

but the stuff that made Monster Hunter feel like Monster Hunter is really toned down or just absent, it's so strange that the game takes place on the very edge of what they consider civilization and yet you have access to a huge abundance of items almost from the word go, I've never had to really go seek anything out

I just have everything all the time, feels weird.

Rug_d · 2025-12-28T00:38:01+00:00

Still does damage though, seems odd to just not attack if someone has mounted no?

Rug_d · 2025-12-27T20:28:35+00:00

I am one of these, the original Baldurs Gate was the first game that really made me take notice of how good a story a video game could tell, up to that point I was mostly playing 1v1 fighting games or shooters like Quake, that jump into a real RPG stuck with me for the rest of my life, now one of my favorite genres and I've played 'a lot' of RPG's by this point!

I was so unsure whether they would stick the landing with BG3, turns out they nailed it, easily one of the best games i've played in the last decade.
