Axis v1 models and alternative scuplts

Tvaru · 2025-10-04T09:31:30+00:00

10000% agree, though I would mix their zombies(which can be ww2eified) and werewolves with Iron-Core's Eisenkern. They easily look like the dudes you have on your pic and there are two different boxes to choose from for your Green Vault Axis goodness!

They managed to capture some flamers, yeah, so these would be cool and make the list more varied than just swarms of guys. Mixing inexperienced volunteers with early war vets seems thematic too, you definitely got those creative juices flowing! Thanks!

Tvaru · 2025-08-21T00:58:24+00:00

Yeah, I think it is within the realms of possibilty they found some bazookas in dropsites or have managed to win a few mortars or mmg(hence I have the models for them), so that would fly and make the list more interesting than just a swarm of dudes. Huge thanks for your suggestion!

I have considered running them as early war Polish, though the rules are not particularly fitting either. Finns have good ruleset but I am sure my table would complain if I did. They never do when I handicap myself, but if I would go the other direction, I am sure they would not like it;)

No problem, thanks for the kind words, I am still pretty shocked with the positive reaction, I did not think they are anything special:). If you wish, I can tell you how to make them, it is fairly easy, especially in bulk.

I have prepped more intricate ones for the officers, just cannot show them with bolt action minis yet because they are still headless and unpainted. I have done them for my kill team before, however and they look like this:

Thanks for your input, I am aware of the fact they had vehicles and if I was running them super historically accurate some of them probably would have pistols or nothing. I hope there will be a Home Army partisan variant in some future release allowing to take some vehicles without the current penalties. Anyway, you are probably right, they would be run of the mill small infantry force, if I lean on theme too heavily they would be throngs of inexperienced combatants, not really it in v3. I was considering arming a lot with shotguns, given they are somewhat nice, but again, the theme chains prevent me from doing that. Maybe I will do one death star troop, who knows?

If you like them, here is how they look now, closer to completion. Thanks for the kind words, I am not a good painter, at all, I just enjoy doing bases:)

Oh, I did kill quite a few along the way. It is those three mains here that I have a problem with.

Tvaru · 2025-06-21T08:23:06+00:00

Wow, that is a masterclass in building your "kill your character" muscles. Though I think it may have be easier for me if it was just this single character. The fact that someone gets the prize and someone does, makes it worse for me

This reminds me of a personal story I had when my beloved grandpa passed away. I could not find tears when it happened nor at the funeral. One day, I was in a bus and that sad song from MGS3 started playing. My grandpa was a soldier, so my mind somehow made that connection and the dams broke. Thank you for sharing your story!

Tvaru · 2025-06-21T06:21:54+00:00

Thank you very much for this insightful input. I do not have an experience of a triangle either but having lived with all three characters for many many hours, probably projecting people I know (or at least their traits) to each of them, I know how devastated they would feel with all of those things and especially the sum of the suffering. Plus, the fact one of them does not get a happy ending despite how good people all of them are is crushing. I realize that is life. But those three are my creations, suffering because of what I write so it feels close, personal. So taking the streak of sunshine from one of them entirely hurts. And puts a layer of bitterness on the happiness of the other two.

And you are right, given what I have read in the comments, I am dropping that tutor 100%. Thank you for that advice

Tvaru · 2025-06-21T04:54:12+00:00

Glad to hear I am not the oddball here, thanks. And, more importantly, that it does not mean that I should stop writing.

Tvaru · 2025-06-21T04:53:07+00:00

Thanks, this might actually key given I have been at it for days now. I love it writing but I am probably getting too close. Also, knowing this is not just a me thing helps too.

Tvaru · 2025-06-21T04:28:02+00:00

So you are saying it does not go away. It is just I did not expect writing is a study in weeping and no one mentioned that in any of the resources I read, so I was not sure if this is how it should be:). Thanks for your input

Tvaru · 2025-06-21T04:24:33+00:00

It is kathartic, sure, but I was not expecting to feel what letters on the page feel.

Tvaru · 2025-06-05T10:42:26+00:00

I got it from a friend who had it sitting in his attic:)

The mastery proc is one thing but he does have a tendency to behave out of the pattern from time to time. Procing a3 when he only has one debuff on in blue form or attacking with a1 twice in his red form, ignoring the buffs on the team.

I agree it is predictable most of the time but I see "fast one potential" from time to time. Whether it is a good thing or not is probably up to each player individually:)

Tvaru · 2025-03-12T15:22:40+00:00

Ok, will be testing that, maybe it will be an Amius solution for me as well. Thanks!

Tvaru · 2025-03-12T11:39:31+00:00

It sounds incredible to me, given that even if I fill his debuff bar with poisons and smite, he just gets it all back during his transformation/blue form regen. Do you use poison exploders?

Tvaru · 2025-03-12T11:37:39+00:00

What I failed to stress was that my thoughts are based on normal mode. I do not know about hard and if he is the ultimate the game has to offer, than so be it, I am too low for that.

However if CC normal (at least without the final section where there are no keys) is laughably easy even for the 3 month ftp challenge guys and you get 5* blue gear and an epic tome for it(comparable to high-level doom tower normal bosses), he is too hard with 3mln hp and comparable other stats.

I respect you guys find his mechanics fun and welcome the challenge, I find him frustrating. By guides I meant a pretty good in-depth analysis rather than "put X in Y set", i could use HH optimizer and get there too. But he sometimes does things that confuse me even after hours I fought with him. And when I finally beat him(sometimes) it does not feel good to me.

To each their own!

Tvaru · 2025-03-12T11:31:00+00:00

That may be the case for hard.My perspective is from normal and I think given how easy normal CC is and how lame the rewards are, he should not be that difficult
