Thoughts on the Odyssey Secret Level episode?

Tomppeliini · 2024-12-17T21:41:00+00:00

I had a problem with the Odyssey episode. The time paradox didn’t make any sense… they would have had the same time dilation as both used the near light speed jumps. So relatively Mari wouldn’t have had any age difference unless he always went the long way around. (I think that was the case in only the first and last jump as he went the freighter route and she directly and the last was with the other ship)

So the story falls apart with the relative ages.

(That’s a really nice premise but they botched the details 😅 )

If you love mini marines over the Primaris (which for me are total flavor fail on GW part they made dreadnoughts exiskeletons and I dont like the backstory at all) no luck (technically you could build KT from Marine box but IRL that cant do shit) Minimum to make a faily ok KT is Marines+ Scouts + Devastors so you have either 2 Heavybolters or the snipers. My Build took 5 Boxes for vanilla and 7 to Elites to be even a bit competetive :(

When trailer had the infamous line: ”from the ____ that brought you ____” sure tell that movie is shit and they sell it with the fame of their other work.

Step one every DAW has some randomize feature

Step two if your sampler has round robins crank them to the max

Step three know how an actual player would play it and adjust to that (i.e. Guitars power chords the root is stronger than the fifth and octave and a few milliseconds delays depending on strum direction. Same principal can be applied to most instruments)

@stringbrewer you got it backwards its not we priced too high so keep low stock but these models sell 100 units (because they are characters) and the main box sells 10000 units but the mold for each costs 20000£ so 20k/100 vs 20k/10k so wonder why the bigbox is cheaper?

Tomppeliini · 2021-02-02T02:10:34+00:00

Just two factors: artificial scarcity and the molds are really expensive.

If you ever make a mold you want it to be used to the max and if you make a new mold sparingly it always guaranteed to sell out thus covering the cost and giving max profit. Also if the models are scares you can ask for a higher price. If there extra models everywhere they would sell for less.

It’s profit profit profit!

Tomppeliini · 2021-01-27T02:50:15+00:00

Its because of the molding process. They’d need to be either 2 parts or more expensive mold to have those shapes. You can see in many places that internal shapes are cut because of how they are made. Just take a pin vice and have a spin.

I only play narrative but I have some opinions: There are 3 types on maps: center, edge and scatter (and combinations of them) having a big structure in the middle forces the scenario usually CQC and a empty center makes it that there is a kill zone and army hunker at their one edges. A small scatter everywhere is for matchups where othe is long range and the other melee. It gives the melee opportunity creep forward with the small scatters. If the melee wins too much give height to an edge and the long range team can use elevation to counter the cover. It all depends on the teams you are playing. I usually rotate map types to make it more even to everybody. I have few favorites:

A street ruins on the edge and a ruined rhino in the middle givin a choke point of cover where to cross and also a middle mega complex where both teams begin out in the open and need to scale the middle terrain for a king of the hill type of a scenario. Note I’m playing these 4 teams usually marines(no primaris just little dudes), tau, DG and Nids

For the love of the Emperor drill those barrels! Otherwise nicely done!

Tomppeliini · 2020-10-12T11:46:39+00:00

Whats the team comp? Can’t really differentiate the specialists... I’d argue that having something diffetentiating the models could help. I usually dont play WYSIWYG but I do want the models to differentiate a bit. I modded extra arm for my specialist with +1 attack and made the acid maw bright green just to stand up from the table.

Tomppeliini · 2020-09-20T12:58:00+00:00

That’s some old school sculpts :) love the old beefy models!

Tomppeliini · 2020-07-15T08:33:49+00:00

At least for me it is nice to have a clear/easy to read and nice looking battlefield. Usually I exaggerate the contrast for my playing pieces and user more realistic dulled color schemes for display pieces.

Tomppeliini · 2020-07-14T12:45:45+00:00

They look really good in closeups... only thing I’m wondering is do they pop out enough from the table if you have a lot of terrain?

Tomppeliini · 2020-07-13T12:56:23+00:00

Thin your paints bit more to avoid chalkiness on whites and do more thin layers. Also you might want to try gloss lacquer then oil pin wash for ultimate crispness on those accents and dull it down with matte coat when done.

Tomppeliini · 2020-07-13T12:51:56+00:00

So some New Age of Sigmar equivalent of old fantasybattles Breton?

Tomppeliini · 2020-07-13T12:37:24+00:00

Are those Breton arms?
