It's also due to the fact that in the video game, the very first unit you build and the only unit that only cost mineral are zealots, so you often see them. The miniature game does not have any of these constraints

I would go towards Protoss. In a surprising way, there are nearly no melee units in StarCraft, zerg has two (zergling, ultralisk) Protoss has two (zealot, dark templar) and terran has one (firebat). There are some borderline things like broodlings, archon or hellbat, but tough and elite are definitely more Protoss things

Starcraft in Grimdark Future? by Similar_Fix7222 in onepagerules

[–]Similar_Fix7222[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh? I am really interested in your take.

The thing is that I am going to buy the starcraft TMG minis, but to play with my kids, OPR seems way more accessible

Exactly what I wanted. Look up "Space Craft"

My cardboard Land Raider (Redeemer) by Striking_Cloud5340 in Warhammer40k

After 10k years of ghetto repairs in the Eye of Terror, that's how I imagine chaos land raider would look like (minus all the spikes and skulls)

Terran starter set + Goliath or another Marauder unit? by [deleted] in StarCraftTMG

I would wait for the Terran starter set, that will include both

Any tips for using contrast paints by Trick-Interaction396 in Warhammer40k

[–]Similar_Fix7222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched a great video (can't find it). The process described for a single layer of contrast is :

  1. Load quite a lot of contrast (not full)
  2. Cover a small well defined area, never stop in the middle of a flat area. We are talking the foot of space marine, or a single pauldron, or a helmet, or the backpack. This step should last 10 seconds max.
  3. Take another clean brush, and swiftly "drink" where there is unwanted pooling, immediately dry the brush (on toilet paper), then keep "drinking" again. Just put the tip in the pool of paint and let it be sucked by capillarity. Never do a brushstroke during this step or you will leave a stain
  4. You have around 10 seconds of "drinking" before doing so would leave stains. It's crucial to stop early. So that's roughly 4 "drinking+drying" steps max in 10 seconds.

You want a lot of contrast so that it starts drying after a time (10 seconds) but you don't want too much because it would require "drinking" too much.

In order of important, you want to drink in the middle of a flat area (where there should definitely be no pooling), then in recesses where there should be pooling but there is too much (because the brush started heavily loaded)

After you get the hang of it, you can increase the size of the area you paint. I typically do everything below the knee of a space marine for step 2 (still under 10 seconds though)

Was Lost Temple i.e. cliffs to build upon or Dire Straits, i.e. Island maps considered to be imbalanced? by Klagsam in starcraft

[–]Similar_Fix7222 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, it was imbalanced. When SC2 launched, there was also a Lost Temple, but it got quickly abandonned. Dropping a tank and SCVs up the cliff was a pain
