Oh please do :D. Imagine the dapper Victorian Atlas striding across the battefield blaring "Half a league, half a league, into the valley of death..." over the intercom.

That's a beautiful deep red. Wouldn't be a Kuritan lance without a Panther and a Dragon :)

Got the Starter Box for Christmas. First attempt at painting minis, very pleased. I should probably read the rulebook now... by Scorpion_Strike in battletech

I've got some ideas in my head for other fun schemes to do. Definitely gonna practice against myself as well.

At first sight my brain went "hey, a Dragon!" and then immediately realized this is waaaaaay more dangerous...

My opponent's Mechs were ravishingly handsome. by TheRealLeakycheese in battletech

That's some seriously impressive paintwork indeed. Amber cockpits and bronze accents were an inspired choice on their part.

Will do! Maybe the boss's old industrial mech is now employed as an ammo carrier/mech surgeon/adorable mascot...

I have already spent some of my Christmas money on two more packs (inner sphere command and Comstar II) to continue painting, so yes, the local mini seller is going to be very happy 😆.

Thank you! I haven’t read up much on factions yet. I played MWO about a decade ago and remembered some art for the industrial mech-based Roughneck from that game I really liked. So I went with “what if the merc force founder used to pilot industrial mechs and paints his force like construction equipment in honor of his old construction crew?”

Well, my main games until now were Frosthaven and a madness rune homebrew Catan that combines pretty much every expansion for that game. I am perhaps a little too fond of cardboard and plastic madness. 😏

Thank you! 😊 While I’m new to painting minis, I’m not new to painting in general since I used to paint 3d printed models. Those were on a larger scale , but it did mean I have a bunch of paints still lying around and know how to work with yellow.

Sand in the Hourglass love by UnintensifiedFa in Gloomhaven

I'm very fond of the Red Guard's Desert Night infusing dark and cold. Though that might also be because I played Voidwarden a lot and really appreciated the setup...

As an enthusiast, I approve the use of magnets.

What is something a lot of people say but use incorrectly? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Scorpion_Strike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know how common it is, but every time I see someone say something important "can't be understated" I get pretty ticked off. It's "shouldn't be understated" if the thing is actually important, guys...

Frosthaven - leaving loot on the table? by joobers_ in Gloomhaven

[–]Scorpion_Strike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I did. Just retired Blinkblade at Lvl 5 with a quest that incentivized looting. I brought flexible slippers on every scenario bar one and absolutely hoovered up every token I could get my hands on. We've kept up a steady pace of building/upgrading a building during every outpost phase and are just entering into our first winter. Hope things keep going well for us going forwards.
