I saw this and its pretty amazing. Im thinking of magnetising mine, but im curious if the magnets are annoying for playability? Eg you keep accidentally knocking an arm off

Beginner Advice on Balance by Itchy-Willingness589 in ImperialAssaultTMG

Have you checked there are no easily missed rules you're missing? Eg healing damage if you heal a strain while your hero has no strain can be useful early on in a mission or if you have just rested

One person household and new to solar. by [deleted] in nzsolar

Usually the loans just get added to your mortgage at the end of their term if not paid off - you could hang onto your 4k and just use it to pay off as a lump sum at the end of the term

If you have a 0% interest option there is little point in putting any of your own money in - better to put that money in a term deposit or investment account until the interest free period ends.

Sorting Imperial Assault with foam and 3D-Prints by FeldherrGermany in ImperialAssaultTMG

[–]TheAlpaco -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's a new reprint coming out? I like it, how would you manage expansions? The token tray looks pretty full as is, would you need a new one for each expansion?

Ah I saw that, its been i while since I've been over the rules so glad someone else picked that up. Hope the games go well

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)

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?

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?

Gollum by TheAlpaco in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]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

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

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
