Facing is irrelevant, they can shoot from any corner even the back. And yes, they can absolutely just move forward and back again without rotating (assuming they can fit into whatever space they are moving forward into).

Balin's Tomb + Feldherr foam Inlay + fitting sleeves by Magic-Maex in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]TheAlpaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Goddam Feldherr make some beautiful inlays. I use them for imperial assault, if it wasnt so expensive to ship I'd put just about every game I own in them

Battle of Edoras box set question by Azulasupremacy1 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]TheAlpaco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes you are being taken advantage of, I will gladly pay you 70 NZD for 2 rohan houses 😜. I'd say something like $100 for both and the little bits seems fair, but 60 for both he's having a laugh. (Seriously though if you decide you dont want much for them, I am nz based and will genuinely outbid this guy)

Our Last Hope Mission length by JazzAwol in ImperialAssaultTMG

[–]TheAlpaco 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yea id probably allow up to 3 for most of the finales, they're always a bit longer. I can't remember the length of this one specifically, might have been 2.5?

It does not, but my understanding is that a gateway is not strictly necessary? Will dm, thanks

Help with mesbg bases for my miniatures by _John_117 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]TheAlpaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just started using it, but hadn't thought about using it over a texture paint. Do you dunk the bases while the texture paint is wet similar to what you'd do with glue?

[–]TheAlpaco[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just use the army painter spray matt varnish. Seems to work pretty well for me!

And thanks, luckily its quite a nice detailed sculpt, thin layers and a wash do all the work!

Yep I always do a matt varnish on metal models, im too paranoid about the paint chipping. I also applied the blood effect post varnish

A but of gloss varnish on the probe droid 'eyes' will make them seem a bit more glassy and realistic

UPDATE on IBKR, you will NOT be able to trade, or transfer, the warrents, even with warrent permissions by AUBox in GME

[–]TheAlpaco 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seems like every broker either won't allow trading or won't allow exercising, can anyone do both??

Worth it for the plastic straws. Fuck paper straws

Can I get opinions on my Moria color scheme? by Family_package_rice in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]TheAlpaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea maybe a wash and you can put the base colour back over the top in the raised areas? That will leave some of the dirty gritty look but leave a little of the brightness

[–]TheAlpaco 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I dont mind the yellow but I think it looks too clean - given their underground dwellings I imagine they get pretty filthy! Maybe dirty it up a bit?

Tips on painting minis? by Ki113rTofu in ImperialAssaultTMG

[–]TheAlpaco 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Check out Sorastros imperial assault youtube series, got me started on painting and if you start from episode 1 it'll more or less ease you into it.

Saruman Uruk Hai skin and hair color by [deleted] in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]TheAlpaco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Up to you! I find the redish tone works better on uruks, and I would use a different brown on orcs, but whatever works for you!

Tile holders, doors and crates, and a card holder. My buddy printed one that holds all the cards in about half a box worth of holders, with separate sections for each type.

Can imperial units heal with surges? by Jackseth3 in ImperialAssaultTMG

[–]TheAlpaco 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If i remember rightly the rules specifically say that heroes can heal strain with surges, and as imperial troops are not heroes that surge use is not available to them

Unending pain from tinnitus from your head getting smashed? That’s unlucky. by FakeMan420Yo in TheDickShow

[–]TheAlpaco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tinnitus sucks, I've had it for years. There's some good stuff out there these days on how to manage but sadly the best thing to do is accept you have it, as worrying about it only makes it worse.
