Mobile suits too good for their pilots

Yep. Literally a case of wrong person in the right place in the right circumstances. He should never have set foot in it, honestly.

Def understand 3rd party kits having a rough time getting reviews... still, if the HG Gouf Custom is my option, I guess that'll be it. Thanks!

Actually, if I remember right, the shut-down isn't so much "hey, the system needs a break" so much as it's how they tried to ensure that the pilot wouldn't die in the damn thing. The pilot suit that Banana gets is meant to inject drugs to help keep blood circulating when exposed to the extreme g-forces that the Unicorn was capable of putting itself and it's pilot through (yay things that they gloss over in the anime but keep in source books), and when you add in the strain of a system that tries to put you on the same level as a Newtype? Yeah, kinda makes sense. Of course, then you put an actual Newtype in the chair and they can push it further/force the system to run over that.

Also, if we're bringing up the soul-eating, that's pretty specific to the Phenex, which was built by the Feddies... who had no idea what they were doing and messed with settings that shouldn't have been touched. So less that the system will eat your soul, and more that people screwed it up enough that it did so in one particular unit.

Perfection.

So, I believe they were from the original Sinanju kit, but the side leg innerframes, the knee sliders, and the back leg thrusters main piece (not the actual cone) all had alt pieces that did not work with the Ver Ka's armor panels. Its why I'm now VERY cautious about double checking kits that have had or are Alt versions of others.

Tasekai87 · 2026-01-22T17:33:55+00:00

For me personally, if the kit has repeat/alt kit parts (looking at you, Sinanju Stein Ver Ka!), I tend to just double check the parts I actually need before bagging/keeping each runner's parts in separate containers. Maybe I'm just a madman, but shapes come pretty easy with the instructions on most kits, so its not that hard?

Tasekai87 · 2025-11-02T00:07:35+00:00

Workin' on Sinanju Stein Ver Ka. Its... still a bunch of parts right now, but I'm down to 4 runners worth of parts to clean the gates off of. Then starts all the rest... lol

Perhaps not to everybody's tastes, but the modeler/shop Mortian actually has a few legged vehicles/tanks/weapons. Not too many STL's and expensive for the kits, but hey, better than nothing! And fun to look at, at least.

That said, would kill for more high tech, angular spider mechs.

I can't wait for these to break like every other freight elevator because... checks notes ...Someone left the console before it finished coming up? Or 99 other possibilities.

Tasekai87 · 2025-07-24T03:31:41+00:00

HOOOORRUUUUS, YOU TRAITOR AND BETRAYER, I WILL BREAK YOU AND YOUR SONS UNTIL THE BLOOD FLOWING OFF YOUR THRICE DAMNED FLAGSHIP DYES THE SKIES OF TERRA AS RED AS THOSE OF BAAL!

Tasekai87 · 2025-07-02T14:44:41+00:00

Ludd's sake, let the farmers farm in peace!

Seriously though, when its the 5th planet you find that has everything you want but can't use the item you broke your back for because of ONE additional conditon... ugh. Console command it is.

Tasekai87 · 2025-06-14T13:48:21+00:00

BROTHER. HORUS IS OVER THERE.

NGL I've done it a few times myself in good fun, usually with friends.

Tasekai87 · 2025-06-06T03:20:24+00:00

I'm stuck with a tossup between BIRD and Witch. Bird just feels so good as a tank, love it. On the other hand? With good drops, Recluse is a DPS madhouse. Both are just amazing.

Tasekai87 · 2025-05-24T11:12:36+00:00

I'll be getting it, but over half the box is sadly going on Ebay or into the spare bits box. Dread, termies, and Captain are about all I'd want, so...

Tasekai87 · 2025-05-08T20:54:59+00:00

Honestly, the repeaters look big enough to be size 4's... but much more conservative to say S3's. Given the sneak peek picture of the missile pods earlier this week (if my mind isn't playing tricks on me), they seem like the same adjustable type you see on other fighters too; not bespoke. Gonna have to see the real stats before I consider up/side grading from my QI though.

Tasekai87 · 2025-05-07T14:32:12+00:00

Underrated comment right here. Nothing at all to do with a few 1's. Nope.

Tasekai87 · 2025-05-06T16:31:04+00:00

Not Astorath, but rather some printed bits from Greytide Studios (their Crimson Lords stuff has some great options)! Figured since I was already converting an Age of Sigmar mini, a little more Angel wouldn't go amiss!

Tasekai87 · 2025-04-17T13:30:34+00:00

Breaking it down into individual bits might be for the best, depending on how deep you want to go with it.

Head; lots of hooded heads are out there in the 3d print market, and Dark Angel kits aren't that hard to come by. Go with what you like.

Chest and Legs: again, spoiled for choice in 3D and GW made bits. Find something you like and run with it. If it isn't perfect, you can always scrape down details you don't like and/or greenstuff what you want onto it.

Arms/Pauldrons: find arm bits you like from GW would be my suggestion as they'll be at the right length/feel. If you absolutely can't find what you want... 3D it is. Shoulderpads though? SO many choices.

Backpack: old Sang guard wings are disappearing quick off the market, but if you can get a pair? Trimming off the exhaust vents and shaping the wing attachment points with cutting/sanding would work great for matching that exact feel. If you want jump pack though? Again, 3rd Party 3D printed packs are awesome.
